The Autism Guernsey and GSPCA Puffin Parade is to be very soon to be launched.
As part of the Puffin Parade there will be many ways to get involved and support which you can find out more by checking out the website https://puffinparade.org.gg/ which has been made thanks to EnjoyCI.
There are so many to thank on the journey to get us where we are and there is still a lot of work behind the scenes, but there is one more appeal Autism Guernsey and the GSPCA would like to ask.
Can you help with raffle prizes?
Last Friday the GSPCA welcomed two staff from HSBC.
Tim Pellett GSPCA Training and Community Officer greeted them at 9am where they had a quick induction, picture and were then set to work.
Tim Pellett GSPCA Community and Training Officer said “Last Friday we greeted two staff from HSBC who helped volunteer at the GSPCA and they are a real credit to their company.”
“They were amazing and from the photo at the start of the day to all their hard work, the guided tour to walking dogs they were amazing.”
Every day the GSPCA rush animals to the vets needing vet care and treatment and one very special cat needing an operation is Oopsie.
Oopsie is one of the oldest cats at the GSPCA at 17 years old how arrived in the Autumn after her owner sadly passed away.
Oopsie is a lovely cat but unfortunately has a nasty growth in ear that needs removing.
