On 11th February, 1873, a meeting was convened in the rooms of the Societe Guernesiaise “for the purpose of considering the expediency of establishing in the Island a Societe for the suppression of Cruelty to Animals” and the Dean of Guernsey was called to the Chair. The Patron of the Society was His Excellency Lt. General Froome.
A Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was thus established on the 14th February 1873 and became known as the GSPCA.
The GSPCA would like to say a huge thanks to the staff at MJ Hudson who had a very impressive cake sale in aid of the GSPCA.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “What a fantastic cake sale staff at MJ Hudson held recently in aid of us at the GSPCA.”
“The cake looked amazing and they raised an incredible £190.”
On Wednesday 9th February an oiled puffin was rescued on Lihou.
The very poorly bird is currently recovering in the GSPCA Wildlife room.
The GSPCA are currently fund raising for a new Wildlife Hospital and to buy a brick or support this build go to – http://www.gspca.org.gg/blog/exciting-news-gspca-relaunch-wildlife-hospital-appeal-can-you-help-future-bailiwicks-wildlife
Today is the first day of #GSPCAPurpleWeek.
On Monday the GSPCA celebrate 149 years helping animals and supporting our community and we want you to help celebrate and support our vital 24/7 work.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Every February we celebrate our anniversary with #GSPCAPurpleWeek to celebrate our anniversary of being founded.”
“From making a donation to fund raising there are lots of ways to support our work.”
The GSPCA continue to urge bird owners to protect their pets and flocks.
With continued cases of H5N1 avian influenza throughout the UK their Animal & Plant Department Agency have been sending out notifications of new cases in both wild and domestic birds with the most recent case in Chirk, Wrexham.
Recently the States of Guernsey States Vets put out this very IMPORTANT message out witha new Order to poultry owners –
2021 Guernsey saw the Guernsey Goat Trail which was hugely popular and brought smiles and fun to many islanders and visitors.
Autism Guernsey and the GSPCA are delighted to be working together to bring a Puffin Parade to Guernsey in 2023.
Both charities are looking for businesses to sponsor a puffin and artists to decorate them. This is a real community project and we invite groups, schools, individuals and professional artists to join in this initiative and paint a puffin.
On Thursday 13th January 2022 Dora a medium sized cross breed dog managed to escape and decided to go for bit of a walk about.
Dora was originally lost near Amherst School.
From there she went on bit of an adventure and evaded being caught for nearly two weeks.
The GSPCA had many reports in many Parishes and we know she seemed to enjoy her time in St Andrews and Castel where we believe she was for much of the time she was missing.
We were pretty confident she was between Talbot Valley and Beaucamps for much of the last few days she was stray.
We are pleased to announce we have a good idea where Dora is sleeping and the area she is in and a member of the team has videoed her from a safe distance and we are putting a plan in place which includes helping the owner with a trap and camera.
It is really important not to scare her from this area so please DO NOT go out in search of her. If you do see her please stay well back and call us immediately on 01481 257261 and choose the emergency number.
She is very timid and nervous of other dogs and won’t come for food or toys.
Black and white this very poorly stray cat found in Fermain a week ago was rushed to the vets.
With multiple health issues ‘Pushkin’ as this lovely lad has been called is being treated for runny eyes to the more serious issue of a blood coming from his nose.
Pushkin is on treatment and is comfortable but requires a Cat or CT scan which will cost in excess of £900, not to mention the other care and possible operation he may need.
