Today Jethou Bumblebee and Hanois the two grey seal pups at the GSPCA Animal Shelter had their second dinner date and we are pleased to say once again they got on extremely well.
Both seal pups are putting on the pounds and we are hopeful they will be ready next month to be released.
We are still appealing for donations toward fish and their care and you can do this help online by following the paypal link below or calling 01481 257261. We thank all that have already supported both Jethou Bumblebee and Hanois so far.
Tomorrow from 10am as part of the Tuesday GSPCA Coffee and Bric-a-brac mornings we will be offering guided tours at 10am, 11am, 12pm and 1pm for £5 per person.
Tours take just short of an hour and include visiting many of the 200 animals at the Shelter.
The main stars of the tour will be the two grey seal pups that will be visible through the one way glass in the wildlife unit.
Tours start at the Event and Training Room. If groups are too large we may need to stagger the hourly start, as we can only take restricted numbers into certain buildings.
Today Gillette the Razorbill who was rescued and cared for in Alderney had his first swim after week of rehabilitation at the GSPCA Animal Shelter.

At nearly 13 years of age and arrived at the Shelter last June we are pleased to announce that Abigail is now in a new home.
Abigail who was one of the older cats at the Shelter and certainly a staff favorite went to her new home on Saturday.
At the GSPCA we see animals of all sizes and ages but unfortunately the older animals are often over looked for the youngsters. At the Shelter we currently have a number of older cats looking for that loving retirement home.
