Has your conure flown away from home? Stray bird at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 17:38, 24th Apr, 2015 | 0

At the GSPCA we see all sorts of strays and yesterday we were handed a stray conure that was found on Burnt Lane exhausted.

The team at the GSPCA have named the green, black and red bird 'Bert' who is recovering well from his or her ordeal.

He or she is possibly a red or maroon bellied conure and is an adult bird with no ring for identification.

Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant said "The stray conure was exhausted when rescued and brought to us yesterday, but is recovering well and very chirpy now."

Today is National Hairball Awareness Day

Submitted by Steve on 11:33, 24th Apr, 2015 | 0

Cats are hugely popular in Guernsey with around 10,000 sharing our homes and Island.

Every cat owner, at least once and often in the middle of the night has stepped into a pile of something that looks and feels like anything but hair and wondered, "Does my cat do this on purpose?!" The answer is no they don't and in fact, hairballs are the number one health condition reported by 35% of cat-owning households.

Is your household one of them? If so, there is help with a variety of diets on the market that can help.

What are Hairballs?

Submitted by Steve on 10:18, 18th Apr, 2015 | 0

On Wednesday the team at the GSPCA were handed a shelled stray.

'Penny' as staff and volunteers have named the female, adult Herman's tortoise was found on Epinel Road in St. Sampsons.

Each year we see around 30 stray tortoise handed into the GSPCA and we find the owners for nearly every one.

Thankfully she is safe and warm at the GSPCA, but we are appealing for the owner to come forward.

If you think that this may be your lost tortoise then please call the GSPCA on 257261 or pop into the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
