APPEAL – Sark feral Starsky needs an entropion operation

Submitted by Steve on 12:19, 19th Jul, 2023 | 0

Every day the GSPCA rush animals to the vets needing vet care and treatment and one very special cat needing an operation is Starsky.

Starsky is a feral cat from Sark who we are hoping to return him to the island where someone can watch over him once he has had a much needed operation.

Starsky has already had blood tests to check he is healthy other than a nasty eye issue requiring an entropion operation which will cost with care around £500.

Huge thanks to Pippa and Rasi entertaining the Sark Folk Festival and raising funds for the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 11:55, 28th Aug, 2019 | 0

The 3 day Sark Folk Festival was once again a great success and two very special young ladies did something very kind for the GSPCA and animals in our care.

9 year old Rasi Blondin and Pippa Smith busked over the 3 days with their violins and raised an amazing £145 to help animals in our care.

You may have seen these young ladies featured previously as they have used their fantastic talent at a number of events in the last year and from all at the GSPCA we cannot thank them enough.
