Last Wednesday we had our second Volunteer Induction Evening which was even more popular than the first.

With 24 in attendance and 18 wanting to sign up as volunteers the GSPCA welcomed the group into the family.

From those wanting to help muck out to those wanting to fund raise they arrived and were welcomed at the Shelter before having a presentation and talk about the work we carry out as well as an Induction to enable them to work safely at the Shelter and during our events.

On Saturday the GSPCA received a very concerning call about a kitten that had been seen running off the harbour wall.

Annabelle Janes Animal Care Assistant and Animal Collection Officer was dispatched to the scene in the GSPCA Ambulance on Saturday to the Harbour wall next to the Herm Kiosk.

When Annabelle arrived at the scene the tide was low and the kitten which had apparently run straight out and over the wall had been seen crawling under a near by yacht.

The GSPCA helps care for and rescue thousands of animals every year and without our wonderful volunteers we really couldn't do it.

From cleaning kennels to fundraising there are dozens of roles for volunteers to help the GSPCA and next Wednesday we have our second Volunteer Welcome and Induction Evening.

With the success of the first last month which drew a crowd of 18 new volunteers to the Shelter the second is planned for 6.30pm on the 17th July.

If you see kittens at Icart Point please let the GSPCA know

Submitted by GSPCA on 11:25, 10th Jul, 2013 | 1

This week we have received a young kitten that was rescued out at Icart Point.

The GSPCA are concerned that there may be others and if you are out in the area and come across any please get in touch with the Shelter.

Tiger as he has been named was found extremely thin, no mother in site and full of worms, fleas and may not have survived if he had not been rescued.

This time of year kittens are often rescued and brought into the GSPCA and just this morning another feral was rescued and brought in from the Bouet area who is now named Molly.
