Can you help a cat needing a Rural or Farm type home from the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 19:22, 8th Dec, 2023 | 0

There are many reasons cats come into the GSPCA.

Not all have loving caring starts to their lives and at the GSPCA we are always looking for farm or rural cats for those cats that didn’t have the kindest of upbringings or those cats that can be a bit grumpy with people.

Anna Paint GSPCA Animal Care Supervisor said “We currently have three cats with us that are more suited to a free roaming/rural life, Meet. Jim, Ramsey and Twiglet.”

The two volunteers from Les Puces which is based in Brittany help cats and kittens through their network of foster homes.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “It is always wonderful to meet, chat too and show visitors from other rescues around the GSPCA.”

“It sounds like they have some real challenges with cat numbers in Brittany and it was wonderful to chat and to give them helpful tips and other organisations that can help.”

GSPCA helping cats, kittens and a dog from the Irish NW SPCA find new homes in Guernsey

Submitted by Steve on 13:29, 28th Apr, 2022 | 0

At the GSPCA we help 1000’s of animals every year, but we have seen a drop in numbers of dogs and cats needing our help find homes locally, although we do help them in many other ways.

In recent years we have been trying to help animals from UK and Irish SPCA animal shelters and Association of Dog and Cat Home members, but with the Covid Pandemic this has been very difficult.

Black and white this very poorly stray cat found in Fermain a week ago was rushed to the vets.

With multiple health issues ‘Pushkin’ as this lovely lad has been called is being treated for runny eyes to the more serious issue of a blood coming from his nose.

Pushkin is on treatment and is comfortable but requires a Cat or CT scan which will cost in excess of £900, not to mention the other care and possible operation he may need.
