Last Thursday a very surprised gentleman found a very oily Hamster in a catch pit when working on a car.
The Syrian Hamster that has been called Inky has had a good wash and is thankfully doing very well.
Inky is a stray Hamster so if you are missing one from the Bailiffs Cross area then the male, adult rodent could be yours.
Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant said 'We often get oiled birds in at this time of year but it I can't remember getting an oiled Hamster in at the GSPCA before.'
'We've called the little fella Inky and he is doing well after his bathes but if there is an owner out there we would love to hear from them.'
'We have a few Hamsters at the Shelter looking for homes including the 2 stray Syrians that were found at the West Show in the Summer.'
