Every year as the weather warms and Easter arrives some parents think of rabbits as an a pet for their child.
The GSPCA this March want to send the message that a rabbit isn't just for Easter!!!
Over the last 18 months the GSPCA has had more stray and unwanted rabbits than the previous 5 years.
Many rabbits are bought on impulse and are housed in small hutches at the end of the garden with no exercise and the child often forgets the poor pet that is left for the parents to care for.
We are pleased to announce that The Vintage Tea Party Company (Guernsey) will be joining in with the GSPCA Cupcake Week.
Last year over a thousand pounds was raised through local businesses and schools making, baking and selling cake to help animals in Guernsey.
With only a week to go the GSPCA are appealing for volunteers to help with our Easter Pop Up Shop in Smith Street from Saturday 25th March 2013 and setting it up next Friday.
The Shop will have lots of Easter goodies for you and your pets as well as a treasure hunt around St Peter Port to keep the children entertained.
It is also the GSPCA Cupcake Week, a week to make, bake and sell cake to raise funds for the GSPCA and to find out more please go to http://www.gspca.org.gg/page/gspca-cupcake-week

The GSPCA is open as normal but the reception area will close at 4pm to allow staff to make the trek home.
Staff and volunteers are on duty 24 7 but we are asking callers to be patient as the treacherous weather conditions are causing problems for our rescue vehicle to travel around the island.
If you have an emergency you can call us 01481 257261.
The GSPCA would like to thank everyone that supported Saturdays open morning at the Animal Shelter.
With nearly every tour a sell out, 60 visitors were shown around the GSPCA and found out about the work of the Shelter.
Some of the comments made on Saturday were -
'So today i met baby seals at the GSPCA. along with a guided tour round! GSPCA thank you!!'
'We enjoyed our visit, lovely caring people everywhere. Saw potential pussy cat to be adopted.'
Places are being snapped up fast so please call soon if you would like to attend tomorrows guided tours.
Tours will take place at 9.30am, 10.30am, 11.30am and the last at 12.30pm. Each tour takes between 40 and 50 minutes and depending on numbers we may have to split groups.
We can now confirm that 10.30am is full and only a few spaces left for the other tours.
As part of the day we will be holding a bric-a-brac sale, coffee morning and guided tours but booking is essential. Phones close at 5pm today and reopen at 9am tomorrow.
Every day we see sick and injured animals here at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in Guernsey.
Oscar a male black and white cat although looks quite healthy has kidney problems and the GSPCA and our vets are trying to determine what is the exact problem.
After a series of tests he currently is having a 3 week course of antibiotics to hopefully cure what we are hoping will be just an infection.
Oscar is just one of the many un-neutered, stray cats we have had in at the Shelter this year and we are urging owners to ensure their cats are spayed with Spring upon us.
Only announced a week ago there are only a few tables left for the GSPCA Mystery of Masquerade Charity Ball Saturday 2nd November 2013
We would like to thank all those that have already reserved tables but if you would like to attend you need to book as soon as possible so you don't miss out.

Today Clinton Millard is setting off from Guernsey towards Africa for is very brave climb of Kilimanjaro to raise funds to help the GSPCA and MUG.
Clinton Millard says on his blog 'I'm 21 years old, I've wanted to get away on an adventure for a number of years now and I thought there was no better way to start than by climbing a mountain!'
'I will be trekking up Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2013, hoping to raise some money for charity while I'm about it!'
