Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “The GSPCA is currently in the process of its BIGGEST Build in our history.
Not only is it our 150th year we are currently trying to ensure the future for the GSPCA.
Ahead of the Wildlife Hospital Build we are currently building a Small Animal, Reptile and Bird Unit, the first of its kind at the GSPCA and essential before we push forward to build the Wildlife Hospital as the buildings they are in currently will be and need to be removed due to their condition and age.

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.
This Easter we are appealing for your help to build a Small Animal Department with our Easter Bunny Appeal.
Thankfully we have an area which was our on-site Charity Shop which moved into Smith Street meaning we have a section to develop.

With nearly 500 animals in our care we are extremely busy at the GSPCA and are appealing for blankets and especially towels to help to provide them with bedding, to help with handling and drying off.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We use hundreds of towels and blankets every day at the GSPCA and our 4 laundry machines are on around the clock."
"As towels and blankets are used they can get torn by the animals or for those used in isolation or quarantine areas may have to be disposed of for medical reasons."

Ruby a lovely black and white cat arrived at the GSPCA earlier this year.
She had a number of health issues on arrival and sadly as a stray no owner was found.
Many of the health issues are much better but her ears have caused her constant problems and it now transpires that due to a growth she will need an operation to remove the lump and an ear canal.

Black and white this very poorly stray cat found in Fermain a week ago was rushed to the vets.
With multiple health issues ‘Pushkin’ as this lovely lad has been called is being treated for runny eyes to the more serious issue of a blood coming from his nose.
Pushkin is on treatment and is comfortable but requires a Cat or CT scan which will cost in excess of £900, not to mention the other care and possible operation he may need.

In February 2019 the States of Guernsey Planning Department gave the approval for the plans for the proposed new Wildlife Hospital at the GSPCA, but sadly due to covid and the global pandemic the project was put on hold.
Nearly 3 years later the GSPCA are once again looking to the future for this much needed facility which is planned to replace a number of old buildings some which date back to the 1940’s.

As Guernsey has gone through 7 weeks of our second lockdown many incoming donations have been affected, not just financially.
At the GSPCA we are currently appealing for long shredded paper for the hedgehog bedding and with over 140 in our care we have a lot to look after.
Normally with offices working and many in the work place we would have a great supply but with most people working from home we have not had our normal supplies and we are in need of long (not cross) shredded paper.
