Borneo is a female cat that came into the Shelter via one of our Welfare Officers who found her in a terrible state and obviously in pain and suffering.

We have reason to believe that people are posing as GSPCA welfare staff, visiting members of the public in their homes and threatening to take their animals away.
In the last week we have had 5 extremely distressed owners complaining that people from the Animal Shelter have been banging on their doors at very unsociable hours threatening to take their animals away.
This is very serious as we are a professional organisation and do not operate in this way.

Mr T who has many pet names such as Top Hat and Mr Thomas is a cat that without an operation would most certainly have a much, much shorter life. Mr T has cancer and needs to have the tips of his ears and part of his nose removed.

The GSPCA is appealing for any information after a gorgeous white syrian hamster was left abandoned in a plastic bag in Church Square on Wednesday 2nd November.
The GSPCA were alerted by concerned staff at the Paper Box’ after a cleaner had found the animal left in a small cage tied up in a carrier bag with no food or water.
The hamster, who has been named Hobo, is being cared for by staff at the GSPCA until a new home can be found for her.

Since the weekend, Tinsel has had an exciting time. She had her first human visitor on Saturday and loved it. She spent a good half hour having cuddles on a new lap, and spent much of that time posing for photos. I think Tinsel has decided she would like to become a model or perhaps an extra in films...

I then got the message I was waiting for, that I could re home her, so opted to collect her at the weekend. In preparation I bought some wood and made her some perches and also found out that turkey’s love to perch on straw bales. So, me being me of course had to get her one of those! Many phone calls later I managed to locate some for sale, and I have to say that squashing it into my Smart car was quite an amusing experience. So there I was, ready for her arrival and generally annoying people by telling anyone who’d listen how excited I was to be getting her!

A couple of weeks before Christmas, a turkey hen which had been sighted wondering about on a few previous occasions, was finally captured by a GSPCA staff member. She was placed in a large outdoor aviary at the shelter in order that she be safe, and be able to rest and recuperate. She did not have a leg ring and therefore it was not possible to trace her owner, and no one came forward to claim her. What with it being just before Christmas, there was no intention to re home her in case the new owner’s intentions were not altogether honourable!
