Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Elsie arrived at the GSPCA last August with a number of health issues as a stray with no microchip.”
Just after 3pm today the GSPCA boxed up three Guernsey grey seal pups after months of care and headed to the South West of Guernsey.
Sizzle who was rescued on New Years Eve near the smelly pond in the Vale, Jagho Herman rescued in Herm mid December and Blueberry rescued at Fort Grey just before Christmas all extremely emaciated and with a variety of health problems have been nursed back to health, all more than doubling their weight and today saw them released back to the wild.
This week the GSPCA team were made aware of a very poorly thin seal pup along the Guernsey coast.
Head of Marine Mammals Geoff George did get very close to the pup yesterday but it manged to get away.
This morning we had another call and thanfully Geoff managed to contain the grey seal pup who is now back in intensive care at the GSPCA, separate to the other 6 seals in our care.
The GSPCA have been extremely busy in recent weeks with the arrival of the first Spring baby birds needing hand rearing that have been found or rescued.
Baby birds are always where possible best left in the wild to be rehabilitated by their parents.
Yvonne Chauvel GSPCA Animal Care Supervisor said “With the mild weather and start of Spring we have started to see the first baby birds of 2022.”
“We’ve had quite a few ducking and a variety of others.”
On Wednesday 30th March the GSPCA will held the first Cat First Aid Course of 2022.
Taking the course was GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne who has over 25 years working in the field of animal rescue and with over 3000 animals through the doors every year at the GSPCA the team see cases of animal first aid on a daily basis here in Guernsey.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “On Wednesday the 30th March we held our first Cat First Aid Course of 2022 and it was a fantastic evening.”
Last Friday a team of staff from IQ EQ spent a day volunteering at the GSPCA.
7 IQ EQ staff arrived at 9am to be greeted by Tim Pellett the GSPCA Training and Community Officer.
They started with a lovely picture at the front of the Animal Shelter before they began a day of helping around site and specifically painting many areas including the GSPCA Reception and Hospital Building.
Through the day they learnt about much of our work and met many of the team and finished with a tour of the site to see the many animals and much of our work.
