With over 300 animals in our care and over 3000 through our doors each year there are many things we use and need 24/7 365 days a year and many Christmas Gift ideas for the animals in our care on our Amazon Wish List.

There are many ways to support our work and every penny makes a huge difference during these difficult time.  There are a huge range of ways in which you can support our work and help us care for the animals at the GSPCA.

We always encourage to buy local but for those that do shop online we have an Amazon Wish List which you can see here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/25MJPPDAGXHL1?type=WishList

On the list there are cat beds to scratchers, fairy liquid to bin bags, butchers dog food to PPE we had an amazing range of gifts for both the team, cleaning and the animals in our care.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We cannot thank all those that support our varied work and with over 300 animals in our care every penny donated and all donations are hugely appreciated.”

“We have an online Wish List on our website and also an Amazon Wish List and due to covid and many events and fund raisers cancelled our Wish Lists and the gifts donated from these has been a huge help during these difficult days.”

“Some of the most recent donations have been a wonderful selection of bowls, probiotics for birds and some lovely treats for the many rabbits in our care which Socks very much enjoyed.”

“This Christmas it would be wonderful if anyone wanting to support the animals in our care could gift them something that we need like those items on our Wish List.”

“At the same time 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.”

“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 or check out some of our Wishes in what will be our 150th year in 2023 including some of the rebuild plans and how you can Buy a Brick https://www.gspca.org.gg/blog/are-you-supporting-gspca-next-year-when-we-celebrate-our-150th-year-here-are-few-ways-you-could .”

“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.”

“A huge thank you to all that have donated and supported our work we really couldn’t do so much without so many caring and wonderful supporters.”
