Many will be shopping online over the coming days and searching for bargains as gifts.
Have you thought of the hundreds of animals in our care this Christmas and the incredibly difficult year we have all faced and bringing some joy and helping animals at the GSPCA?
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “After the hardest year we have ever faced in living memory at the GSPCA for so many reasons maybe you can help bring some Christmas cheer to the animals in our care.”

The current pandemic has caused many challenges at the GSPCA as it has with everyone and across the world and we are incredibly thankful to all that have helped us with our #GSPCACoronavirusCrisisAppeal so far it is so appreciated and we couldn’t do so much without your support.
As well as much needed funds at the GSPCA there are a range of items we are desperately in need of. The largest is wish list item is a new GSPCA Animal Ambulance. Which has come at the worst time as we are so incredibly busy in Spring

Many think that Guernsey hedgehogs like their cousins in the UK hibernate but sadly this is a rare occurrence for the majority of our spikey friends as they require a temperature of 5c or below for their body clock to switch to this Winter behaviour.
With the mild climate we have in the Channel Islands it is rare for a day to go by that we don’t rescue of help a hedgehog 365 days a year.

Today the GSPCA have been battling with burst pipes as the cold weather continues with the extremely icy weather.
At present two outside pipes have suffered due to the elements and the team are braced for potential further problems.
The GSPCA have been at the current site for 89 years this year and some of the buildings and services date back to the 1940’s.

Are you in the festive mood and looking to help those in need?
We have lots of great gifts and items on our Amazon Wish List that would help the 500+ animals in our care at the GSPCA.
One item we have been trailing are perspex clear sheets on some of the cats pens with great success. Each cat pen has an outside section and we have found that hanging the perspex panels on the mesh the cats still have a lovely view and plenty of fresh air while keeping the worst of the weather out.

Today has been a wonderful day for Olivia the loggerhead turtle as two amazing donations help with her care while we await the Cites paperwork to enable her to travel and fund raise so we can transport her.
In this mornings post a very kind member of public has purchased an additional heater from our Amazon Wish List and also today Le Friquet Garden Centre have donated a fantastic large pond filter.
Now that Olivia is eating as much as she can the new filter and heater will add to the already wonderful donations of other equipment that enable us to care for her.
