Last month Tomas and his friends celebrated his 10th birthday at the GSPCA with a special guided tour and a party in our events room.
Kelly Carre (Mum) said “I just wanted to say thank you so much for letting Tomas celebrate his birthday last month with his party at the GSPCA.”
“Beckie was amazing, very informative during the tour and Tomas and his friends really enjoyed themselves.”
“Tomas loved seeing all the animals, particularly the guinea pigs and hedgehogs and he loved going into the aviary too.”
“He has talked so much about it last night and today and has said he wants to work at the Shelter when he’s older!”
“Thanks again.”
Beckie Smith GSPCA Animal Care Assistant said “It was lovely to show Tomas and his friends around the GSPCA and help him celebrate his 10th birthday.”
“Tomas and his friends were so lovely and were really interested in the work at the GSPCA.”
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “It was wonderful to hear that Tomas had such a wonderful birthday party at the GSPCA and thank you to Kelly his mum for the pictures.”
“Tomas also had a gift of sponsoring a hedgehog pen and enjoyed a party in our events room after the tour.”
"I have to say I thought his hedgehog birthday cake looked amazing and can assure everyone no hedgehogs were harmed in its making."
“The birthday tours are very popular at the GSPCA and it is rare a weekend day goes by that we don’t have a birthday party.”
“We can do the parties for groups as small as one to much larger groups and before Christmas we helped Heritage Insurance with their staff children’s party which had nearly 50 come along as well as Santa.”
“We also run tours during the school breaks and you can visit some areas for a donation of £2 a person between 11am and 4pm 7 days a week.”

During the school breaks we run a series of guided tours at the GSPCA and we have now planned for 2018 with some special tours for the children. You can also book a tour for a special event or birthday. For details on special tours please see below.

The tours take around 80 minutes and you get to see in many of the departments, interact with some of the friendly residents and a variety of species. The special tours can take a little longer.
