At the GSPCA finding an animal a new home is a very special moment as we wave them off on their new adventure.

When we hear how they are doing it is even more heart warming and earlier this year we found a very special cat a home called Charlie.

Ahead of #WorldBookDay on Thursday 5th March 2020 here is a message from a friend of the GSPCA Marc Abraham BVM&S MRCVS ”I'm the vet and animal welfare campaigner that led the Lucy's Law campaign to help end irresponsible dog and cat breeding practices, like puppy farming, to victory in Westminster.”

“Lucy's Law means that from April 6 2020 in England, 3rd party kitten and puppy dealers will be banned, meaning dogs and cats will only be able to be sourced direct from the breeder, or better still from a reputable rescue shelter like yourselves.”
