The GSPCA are always trying to ensure we match up the right animal for the right home.
Animals come into the Shelter for all sorts of reasons and we have to ensure each is suited to a home that can meet its needs.
The GSPCA is a self-supporting Guernsey charity and we depend on the people of the Island for the funding needed to maintain our work for the animal welfare and rescue work that is carried out 24 hours 7 days a week.

Withing a week of adoption we would really appreciate pictures/videos and an update how you and your new pet are doing
The adoption donations are only a contribution to the costs of (depending on species), for example, neutering, microchipping, parasite treatment, vaccinations, care and the large running costs of GSPCA Animal Shelter.
We can blood test Cats for FIV / FELV for an additional £30 before adoption if you are interested in having this done.
If you are adopting a Rabbit or Ferret, we neuter and microchip them if they are old enough before you collect.
