HELP - GSPCA looking for missing cat traps and can you help donate for new ones

Submitted by Steve on 15:47, 18th Jul, 2025 | 0

For many many many decades the GSPCA has been helping lost, found and feral cats around the Bailiwick of Guernsey.

In the 1990’s there were incredible numbers of feral cats but thanks to a huge amount of work by the GSPCA and also Guernsey Animal Aid when they operated the numbers are extremely low, but the GSPCA are regularly asked to help feral, lost and found cats.

Sadly a number of the GSPCA Cat Traps have gone missing or been damaged after many years of use and we are appealing for help to locate and fund replacements.
