The GSPCA and Condor Ferries have teamed up so the local charity can continue to provide lifesaving care for young, sick or injured birds and mammals that are brought into the shelter each year.

Through its Community Fund, Condor has purchased three specialist incubators which will be used at the Animal Shelter for keeping new born chicks in a clean, temperature controlled environment to aid their development. The equipment also double as intensive care units, providing vital support for orphaned, injured or weak animals.

Steve Byrne, the GSPCA Manager and the team were was extremely pleased with the new arrivals.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Every day sick and injured animals are rescued and brought into the GSPCA.”

“Many of these have life threatening ailments and we also help hugge numbers of baby animals that require intensive care units to help save their lives and keep them warm if they are orphaned young.”

“These new intensive care units really give them the best chance to recover and thrive.”

“We are so grateful to Condor for the new intensive care units so we can carry on our important work in our community.’

Greg Yeoman, Condor’s Commercial Director, commented “We transport many types of animals on our sailings each year so understand the importance of supporting organisations such as the GSPCA for the work they do in the Island.”

“We are therefore happy to help Steve and the team at this amazing charity.”

Steve continued “There are many ways you can help support our vital 24/7 work and donate or raise funds for the hundreds of animals in our care.”

“With over 100 hedgehogs, 2 seal pups, dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, fish, reptiles and many birds we help over 3000 animals through the doors every year.”

“If you would like to support us like Condor have check out our Amazon Wish List and see lists of items that we use every day and things that we are appealing for.”

“If would like to help with wish list items you can call us on 01481 25721 or email [email protected] or the easy way to see many items we are in need  is by going to our Amazon Wish List https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/25MJPPDAGXHL1?type=WishList .”

“We do promote buying items locally but shopping online can help raise funds at the same time as if you select the GSPCA through easy fund raising part of the amount through 1000’s of online retailers comes back to the GSPCA and it has raised over £2500.”

“To sign up to do this please visit http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/guernseyspca/?u=1CHID8 .”

“Sadly Amazon Smile doesn’t allow Guernsey charities to sign up but you can go through easy fund raising to achieve the same donation.”

“As mentioned you can always chose to donate via local stores and the Amazon Wish List is a shop front showing some of the items we need but there are many others and we have published these on our Wish List page http://www.gspca.org.gg/about/our-plans-wish-list .”

“A gift of a tiny bowl costing less than a £1 to a £600 intensive care unit, every donation is hugely appreciated and really makes the team smile that there are those that care and want to support our work.”
