Felix arrived at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in October in 2011 and has been at the Shelter for well over a year which makes her the longest stay cat in need of a new home. Many of you will know of Victor a cat who also came in around the same time and we are pleased to say he is off to a new home very soon.
Unfortunately Felix came in as a 3 year old semi-feral and as such was extremely nervous and timid after her bad start in life.
The GSPCA is appealing for bottles and prizes for our Tombola Stall that we will have at the the Guernsey Round Table Christmas Fayre will be held at Beau Sejour Leisure Centre from 10 am to 4 pm this weekend on Sunday 18th November 2012.
If you can help please pop any donations up to the Animal Shelter in St Andrews. If you have any time and would like to help on the stall please contact Welfare and Education Officer Emma Trousdale by calling the Shelter 01481 257261 or email [email protected]
Entry to the Christmas Fayre is free.
The GSPCA is asking for your help for this very friendly poorly cat.
Roger came into the Shelter as a very elderly sick stray earlier this month. When he arrived he had multiple health problems and needed to be rushed to the vets where he was placed on a drip and under intensive care for some time.
The vets are now recommending he has a number of tests and an operation before the Animal Shelter can find him a good home.
We need your help.
The GSPCA currently has two cats that next month will have been at the Shelter in search of a new home for over a year.
Felix and Victor are two strays that arrived at the Shelter last October as semi-ferals. Although their behaviour has much improved with the TLC staff and volunteers have given them we are still in search of a very special home for these very independent cats.
The Shelter currently has over 25 cats looking for homes at the Shelter and many more strays and others being treated before they can go up for adoption.
A year since the GSPCA had over 40 hamsters the Shelter has recently received another home full.
Fortunately less than quarter the number of last years incident the GSPCA is asking pet owners to take care when choosing small mammals as pets. Hamsters puberty happens from as young as 4 weeks and with a gestation period of 2 to 3 weeks and a litter size of 1 to 18 babies a home could quickly be overwhelmed.
Deacon the young black and white cat who wasn’t very well when he arrived at the Shelter has now had his operation to remove a total of 26 teeth leaving him with only 4 left.
This was due to a medical issue that he had and the medical treatment and care has topped over £1000. We would like to thank everyone so far that helped donate to this lovely little lad as without kind donations, monthly giving and legacies we wouldn’t be able to care for cats like Deacon.
Deacon is a stunning 7 month old black and white kitten that has won the hearts of staff and visitors at the Shelter.
Sadly he has been diagnosed with gingivostomatitis, a quite painful disease of the gums. Unfortunately there are a lot of contributing factors to the condition which means that Deacon will have to undergo lots of veterinary treatment until it can be brought under control. Sadly if the initial treatments are not effective he may have to have most of his teeth removed all of which is likely to exceed £1000!.
