Research reveals the need for better regulation to protect Europe’s dogs and cats.

On the 24th March, the EU Dog & Cat Alliance launched a National Legislation Report which was commissioned to provide important information on the current legislation in all 28 of the EU’s Member States.

The EU Dog & Cat Alliance, which is made up of 45 members from 14 member states, held their first meeting in Brussels yesterday to launch and discuss the research which provides much needed evidence as to why EU legislation on the breeding and trade of dogs and cats is needed.

A very sad day at the GSPCA - Rest in Peace Rubis we will all miss you

Submitted by Steve on 19:54, 27th Mar, 2015 | 0

Today staff and volunteers have had to face one of the hardest times when rescueing and saving animals.

Rubis the stray cat that arrived a month ago and who has had multiple health problems was rushed to the vets for a second time in a week.

Sadly due to his health issues and rapidly deteriating condition we were unable to help him, and after exploring all options one of the hardest decisions that can be made in animal rescue with the vet meant that this adorable cat had to be put to sleep.

Little Man & Tobias now Leo and Archie the ferrets find a loving home in Alderney

Submitted by Steve on 12:26, 26th Mar, 2015 | 0

At the GSPCA we now see over 40 ferrets coming into our care each year.

Most come in as strays and many are here for many months as we find it hard to find them loving new homes.

We were overjoyed last week when we had an enquiry from Alderney offering a home to ferrets.

With nearly 10 in our care the gentleman popped over to visit those in our care and Little Man and Tobias took his fancy.

Both ferrets made the journey with their new owner and we have just heard that they are settling well.
