Today is not only St Davids Day, it is also Shrove Tuesday also known to many as Pancake Day and many of us will shopping for our ingredients. The GSPCA would like to remind everyone to think of the produce that you are going to use and please look to buy Animal Welfare friendly products such as free range eggs.
Although the EU legislation has forced many battery farms to improve their standards, chickens that live as free range birds have a much better quality of life.
The GSPCA help 1000’s of cats every year in many ways from strays to those neglected.
When we have room we not only help island cats but we help animals from Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH) which is an organisation made up of over 160 charities across the UK and Ireland.
Last October GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne brought 5 cats back from the RSPCA in Wales.
Three of the 5 were a multiple cat household.
At the GSPCA we help 1000’s of cats every year but the numbers looking for homes have been decreasing over the years.
This has meant from time to time we have space in our cat pens and when we are able we help charities which are members of the Association of Cats and Dogs Home (ADCH) which are based across the British Isles and Ireland.
On Friday 29th October 2021 the GSPCA helped 5 cats from the RSPCA in Wales which were in need.
Many are celebrating and supporting us for #GSPCAPurpleWeek and tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday also know to many as Pancake Day and many of us will shopping for our ingredients.

Last month two of the GSPCA staff had the opportunity to spend time at three RSPCA centres namely Stubbington Ark, West Hatch and Ashley Heath.
They started their trip on the overnight ferry which in the morning meant a short drive to the RSPCA Stubbington Ark in Portsmouth where they spent a full day in one of the largest RSPCA centre’s in the UK.
Day 2, 3 and 4 was spent at RSPCA West Hatch in Taunton where they have a Domestic and separate Wildlife Centre and Seb and Beckie got to spend time in both working with the staff, volunteers and many animals.
Yesterday the team at the GSPCA welcomed Heidi Chambers and her family for a guided tour at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
RSPCA Chief Inspector Heidi Chambers is in Guernsey visiting family and has known the GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne for many years as they were colleagues when he worked for the RSPCA in the UK.
Steve gave Heidi and her family a behind the scenes tour of the GSPCA and explained the 24/7 work carried out here in Guernsey helping animals and the community.
