This Saturday as part of the Liberation Day celebrations the GSPCA will have a stall both along the Seafront in St Peter Port and also at the Last Post in St Andrews.

Both stalls will be manned by volunteers selling GSPCA goods and have fun games and tombolas.

Every day it costs around £2000 a day to care for the hundreds of animals at the GSPCA and ensure we can provide a 24 hour 7 day a week service.

Today is Ferret Day - are you celebrating with your ferret?

Submitted by Steve on 17:39, 5th May, 2015 | 0

Today is Ferret Day and many ferret owners will be celebrating with their wonderful pets.

In recent years we have seen a growing number of stray and unwanted ferrets and currently we have 6 ferrets in need of homes at the GSPCA.

Over the last few years the numbers of stray ferrets being found has gone up each year and we now see over 40 rescued every 12 months with the peek time being through the Summer months.

Our ferrets are neutered before rehoming and we also treat them for any other ailments they may have and we will carry out a home visit before they are homed.
