Please send us your stamps! We can raise money from both British and overseas stamps

Submitted by Steve on 18:35, 25th Mar, 2015 | 0

Millions of people, young and old, are stamp collectors (philatelists), and philately is an educational and fun hobby.

Couple this with helping animals in Guernsey, keeping stamps out of landfill and instead recycling stamps to collectors.

At the GSPCA we collect used postage stamps to raise money for the many animals we rescue, help and care for.

Stray cat Rubis isn't over the worst yet and needs your help

Submitted by Steve on 09:33, 25th Mar, 2015 | 0

Last month Rubis an entire black and white stray cat was handed into the GSPCA.

Full of cuts and bites this very affectionate cat that had no chip or collar came in with a number of injuries.

Inline with the 2012 legislation every stray animal including cats have to be held for 21 days whilst we try and find their owner.

Sadly with no microchip, collar or anyone coming forward for Rubis he hasn't been claimed.

During his time at the Shelter we have found that Rubis with his lovely friendly nature and his wounds now healed has other health issues.
