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.

Hanois the grey seal pup has his first swim & we still need your support for the Big Fish Appeal

Submitted by GSPCA on 17:46, 7th Feb, 2013 | 0

Today Hanois our second grey seal pup this winter got his first swim since being rescued in one of the GSPCA Animal Shelter pools.

At only 3 to 4 months of age and having being kept warm during his rehabilitation after being found sick and injured near L'Ancresse 4 weeks ago he wasn't too keen on his first dip.

Geoff George Animal Collection Officer and main seal carer at the Shelter said 'A Bit like Jethou Bumblebee was, Hanois wasn't that keen coming out in the cold and diving in the water but once in he had a good look around.'

Jethou Bumblebee who has been cared for at the GSPCA for just over 9 weeks has doubled his original weight and looking very healthy.

Hanois who was rescued early this year is also putting on weight and his chest infection is much improved.

Jethou Bumblebee the seal is doing well and munching through plenty of fish

Over 3 weeks since the rescue we have had ups and downs with Jethou Bumblebee but GSPCA staff are pleased with his progress.

When Jethou Bumblebee was rescued he was 3 - 4 weeks of age and a healthy grey seal of that age would normally weight 40kg.  When Jethou Bumblebee was rescued he weighed just over 17kg which was less than half of what he should of done.

Since being at the Shelter he has been having a series of medications, re-hydration fluids and fish soup.  He is doing that well he is even eating whole fish all on his  own.

We hope to see you all at the Soup Kitchen next Tuesday but we need fish for our Grey Seal Pup

Submitted by GSPCA on 15:41, 28th Nov, 2012 | 0

We are pleased to announce that Jethou Bumblebee is doing extremely well. 

He has been on fish soup for the past few days and last night devoured his first fish all on his own.

His appetite has picked up and he is going through fish at a rate on knots.  As such the GSPCA are appealing for fish so that we can meet his very hungry belly.

The GSPCA would also like to appeal for a new chest freezer to help store all of the fish he will require to get him back to health.
