Please donate or sponsor a room or area in our Small Animal, Reptile and Bird Section Build which is now underway

The GSPCA desperately needs to build a Small Animal Department.

It recent years at the GSPCA we have seen a sharp increase in the numbers of rabbits, small animals, birds and reptiles in need of our help.

We are appealing for your help to build a Small Animal Department and really need your help.

Thankfully we have an area which was our on-site Charity Shop which moved into Smith Street meaning we have a section to develop which is now underway , but we really need your help.

The estimated cost is £60,000 which will fit out 5 rooms. One for new arrivals, one main room for rabbits and guinea pigs, a room for birds, a room for reptiles and a general room for hamsters to chinchillas.

There are a number of ways you can help.

Firstly our donation page - https://giving.gg/donate/event/8046/Small-Animal-and-Rabbit-Build-Appeal

Larger donors or corporates may want to make a larger donation and become an Exclusive Build Partner to support all our build projects and to find out more please visit - http://www.gspca.org.gg/page/gspca-exclusive-build-partner

Sponsor all or part of this much needed facility –

The complete Small Animal Department - £60,000

The intake and isolation area – £11,000

The main rabbit and guinea pig room - £22,000

The reptile room £8,000

The bird room - £8,000

The room for all other species - £11,000

Or

Each Intake or Isolation Cage - £650

Each Rabbit or Guinea Pig Pen - £1500

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “The Small Animal Build Appeal at the GSPCA we officially launched as the Easter Bunny Appeal, but we now really need your help as it is underway.”

“Last year we helped over 500 rabbits and over 500 other small animals, birds and reptiles.”

“We have seen a huge rise in unwanted and stray small animals in recent years and we desperately need a Small Animal Unit.”

“Now our Charity Shop is in Smith Street we are transforming what was the onsite Charity Shop into a Small Animal Department.”

“This will have purpose built facilities for rabbits, small animals, birds and reptiles in different rooms with an isolation and intake area.”

“This will be the first time we will have a proper Small Animal Unit as they have often had to be housed in various areas around the Animal Shelter.”

“The whole project should cost £60,000 but with the design and as many of the small animals live in buildings dating back to 1949 and will need demolishing before we can build the Wildlife Hospital we really need your support.”

“To donate online you can go to https://giving.gg/donate/event/8046/Small-Animal-and-Rabbit-Build-Appeal or larger donors or corporates may want to make a larger donation and become an Exclusive Build Partner and to find out more please visit - http://www.gspca.org.gg/page/gspca-exclusive-build-partner .”

“Or if you would like to chat please call 257261 or email me on [email protected] .”

“Maybe your business, you or your company would like to sponsor an animal pen or room which start from £650.”

“Anyway you can help us help what are often to referred to as the forgotten pets is hugely appreciated.”

“With over 40 rabbits in need of homes, hamsters, rats, lizards, birds and so many more please help us to build this much needed facility.”
