Last month the GSPCA celebrated 145 years with our #GSPCApurpleWeek.
Many got involved and one very special, generous and kind school was Vale Primary who last week donated over 500 items from hay to animal feed to help the 500 animals in our care.
At the start of #GSPCAPurpleWeek GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne went to see the 500 pupils and talk to them about the work of the Shelter and this week three reception classes enjoyed guided tours at the GSPCA.
The GPSCA would like to thank the children and teachers at Vale Infants who have been raising money for the Animal Shelter. Each year group was given £5 and they had to try and turn this into £50.
Each year group did extremely well and here are the results and how they managed to raise funds to help animals in Guernsey
Reception raised £40.85. They put on a games day and charged 20p go. Games included guessing how many sweets were in a jar and picking floating ducks out of a paddling pool.
This morning we are wishing Nouska the Husky the best of luck with his operation to remove a cancerous lump.
Nouska who has a lump in his chest is off to the vets today to have it removed.
We are so thankful to everyone that has donated towards him.
All the team at the GSPCA will be thinking of him today and we are all hopeful for a successful operation.
We would like to thank everyone that has donated towards Nouska the Husky's operation so far.
Nouskas is going for his operation on Wednesday and we are all keeping our fingers crossed for this lovely lad.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'We are so grateful to everyone that has donated towards Nouska's operation.'
'It is estimated that it will cost over £1000 with everything and we can announce that since last Wednesday the full estimated amount has been raised and thank everyone for their support.'
Nouska is an older husky that has found his way to the GSPCA Animal Shelter and it has developed that he has a cancerous growth in his chest.
To help save Nouska and lengthen his life next Wednesday he is having an operation to remove the lump.
With any operation there is both a risk and a cost but the vets and the team at the GSPCA feel that despite Nouska being over 10 years old he has a lot of life and love to give.
Last Thursday 'Tomcat' as he's been named had a very close escape.
Having escaped from his home Tomcat was spotted after being dropped by a Bird of Prey who nearly had him as a meal.
Fortunately the lucky Budgie that was found at Ronez Quarry was rushed to the GSPCA and is recovering well.
Tomcat is under treatment in an intensive care unit and we are appealing for the owner to come back.
Tomcat is a male Opaline Spangle Light Blue adult Budgerigar and if you have lost yours please get in touch on 01481 257261 or pop in to the Shelter in St Andrews.
The GSPCA would like to officially thank BDO Limited for their Charitable Trust donation which has enabled us to erect additional aviaries that will assist in the rehabilitation and release of the many sick, injured and orphaned birds that arrive at the Animal Shelter every month.

Yesterday the GSPCA microchipped the first Hedgehogs in Guernsey.
Scatters then Bonnie were the first two Hedgehogs to be chipped at the Shelter and the first to be know to be chipped in the Channel Islands.
The GSPCA have been using paint and plastic tags to help with monitoring the hogs released from the Shelter but these as with many methods fall and run off.
The GSPCA deal with hundreds of Hedgehogs every year and with declining numbers in the UK the Animal Shelter want to know if a Hedgehog returns to the Shelter that we can accurately tell this is the case.
