Nouska is an older husky that has found his way to the GSPCA Animal Shelter and it has developed that he has a cancerous growth in his chest.
To help save Nouska and lengthen his life next Wednesday he is having an operation to remove the lump.
With any operation there is both a risk and a cost but the vets and the team at the GSPCA feel that despite Nouska being over 10 years old he has a lot of life and love to give.
Last Thursday 'Tomcat' as he's been named had a very close escape.
Having escaped from his home Tomcat was spotted after being dropped by a Bird of Prey who nearly had him as a meal.
Fortunately the lucky Budgie that was found at Ronez Quarry was rushed to the GSPCA and is recovering well.
Tomcat is under treatment in an intensive care unit and we are appealing for the owner to come back.
Tomcat is a male Opaline Spangle Light Blue adult Budgerigar and if you have lost yours please get in touch on 01481 257261 or pop in to the Shelter in St Andrews.
The GSPCA would like to officially thank BDO Limited for their Charitable Trust donation which has enabled us to erect additional aviaries that will assist in the rehabilitation and release of the many sick, injured and orphaned birds that arrive at the Animal Shelter every month.

Yesterday the GSPCA microchipped the first Hedgehogs in Guernsey.
Scatters then Bonnie were the first two Hedgehogs to be chipped at the Shelter and the first to be know to be chipped in the Channel Islands.
The GSPCA have been using paint and plastic tags to help with monitoring the hogs released from the Shelter but these as with many methods fall and run off.
The GSPCA deal with hundreds of Hedgehogs every year and with declining numbers in the UK the Animal Shelter want to know if a Hedgehog returns to the Shelter that we can accurately tell this is the case.
It is believed that hedgehogs are on the decline and a UK hedgehog charity are asking for your help to find out if that is true.
Hedgehog Street are carrying out a hedgehog survey between the 1st February and 31st August.
Already the GSPCA has rescued, rehabilitated and cared for over 100 hedgehogs this year.
Last night Charlie a very poorly hedgehog arrived covered in mange and extremely thin.
We often see mange in hedgehogs in Guernsey but if rescued and brought into the Shelter can easily be treated. Thankfully Charlie is one of the lucky ones and he is now in the Intensive Care Unit of the Hedgehog Block at the GSPCA where he will undergo a series of treatments to free him from this mite.
With 73 hedgehogs at the GSPCA Animal Shelter and many more with volunteers and in foster homes the GSPCA are reminding everyone what to do if you find a hedgehog this winter.
Nearly everyday at least one hedgehog is brought into the GSPCA Animal Shelter either sick or injured.
Annabelle Janes Animal Care Assistant said 'We have so many hedgehogs at the moment it feels like we have herds of them.'
'We are seeing more nearly every day.'
