Update on Oopsie the cats operation and please to donate to her care

Every day the GSPCA rush animals to the vets needing vet care and treatment and one very special cat called Oopsie had a very large operation.

Oopsie is one of the oldest cats at the GSPCA at 17 years old who arrived in the Autumn after her owner sadly passed away.

Oopsie is a lovely cat but unfortunately had a nasty growth in ear that needs removing.

We are pleased to say te operation went well and she is now recuperating at the GSPCA.

To donate to her operation and care please go to https://giving.gg/donate/charity/2/Guernsey-Society-for-the-Prevention-of-Cruelty-to-Animals-(GSPCA)

Ali Le Huray GSPCA Animal Care Assistant said “Oopsie arrived as a stray and was covered in fleas and had an ear infection which was the first things we noticed.”

“She has been to the vets already for blood test and dental and on Tuesdau had an ear operation as she had a very nasty polyp in right ear which required delicate surgery.”

“When she arrived she was so uncomfortable and full of worms also, and after her operation is doing well and is such a lovely cat.” 

“To donate to her and the other animals please go to https://giving.gg/donate/charity/2/Guernsey-Society-for-the-Prevention-of-Cruelty-to-Animals-(GSPCA) .”

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Oopsie wasn’t in a great condition what so ever when she arrived and her operation on Tuesday wasn’t easy.”

“They removed the large polyp in the right ear and have had to make a second whole further done from her ear to help her hear.”

“She is doing very well despite her ordeal and is as loving as ever and will hopefully  be looking for her forever home very soon.”

“We help hundreds of cats every year and with the thousands of animals through our doors and our veterinary bills alone often cost well over £5,000 a month with all the special diets and mediations to the hand rearing milk without the time and care they need.”

“Oopsie as do the many animals in our care need your help and to donate to her operation you can pop into the Shelter in St Andrews, call 257261 or online https://giving.gg/donate/charity/2/Guernsey-Society-for-the-Prevention-of-Cruelty-to-Animals-(GSPCA) .”
