Robin needs his Batman - Appeal for a cat needing a major operation at the GSPCA

Submitted by GSPCA on 19:10, 10th Oct, 2013 | 0

Robin is a male adult stray cat that came in extremely thin with multiple health problems.

When first found he even smelt as though he had been living out of a bin for some time.

With no owner found, Robin who has a lovely nature is in desperate need for your help and requires major surgery on his head to remove growths from both ears.

Anna Paint Senior Animal Care Assistant said 'Robin is adorable and has been through a lot already and we now need help to get his ears operated on.'

Earlier this week GSPCA staff were called out to help rescue a Bird of Prey.

On arriving at the scene at La Coudre, St Pierre Du Bois GSPCA staff member Annabelle Janes was shown the way to where the Bird had been found.

She quickly secured the very distressed Bird and made her way directly to Eturs Vets.

On closer inspection the Bird was identified as a Buzzard which had been shot by an air gun or rifle through the right shoulder.

The GSPCA couldn’t carry out saving, rescuing and caring for the thousands of animals that come through the doors every year without the support of the staff and volunteers that work tirelessly every day and night.

To recognise the team for the first time at the GSPCA we have been asking for nominations to recognise the staff and volunteers for their dedication, hard work and outstanding effort.

Nominations were accepted both in house, online and via the post and we received an overwhelming number of wonderful comments for five staff in particular and fifteen volunteers.
