We all need Emotional Support – training at the GSPCA for the team thanks to the ADCH and Blue Cross

Submitted by Steve on 00:25, 13th Dec, 2023 | 0

We have an incredible team at the GSPCA that do so much 24/7.

Every day can be a challenge from animals needing rescuing to those so sick we are unable to help, cruelty cases to those animals owners can no longer care for.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager and Trustee for the Association of Dogs and Cats Home (ADCH) said “We have an amazing team here at the GSPCA, as do so many charities across the world.”

“Those that chose to work for a charity care with a passion for what they do, but what we are faced with every day can be upsetting and so challenging.”

At the GSPCA we help 1000’s of cats every year but the numbers looking for homes have been decreasing over the years.

This has meant from time to time we have space in our cat pens and when we are able we help charities which are members of the Association of Cats and Dogs Home (ADCH) which are based across the British Isles and Ireland.

On Friday 29th October 2021 the GSPCA helped 5 cats from the RSPCA in Wales which were in need.
