Tonight we have our last dog and next week cat first aid training of 2025.
These are the last courses that will be £25 as they go up in 2026 having not been increased for many years.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We have had a great year training many islanders, businesses and groups in pet first aid this year and our last courses of 2025 are next month.”
“We have had to move the Cat First Aid training from next week to Tuesday 18th November.”
Today marks World Animal Road Accident Awareness Day, and the GSPCA is highlighting the need for increased awareness and care to protect animals on Guernsey’s roads.
Each year, the GSPCA responds to an average of 200 cats that are either killed or seriously injured in road accidents across the island. In total, the charity helps around 1,000 cats annually, from those needing homes to those lost, found, or involved in welfare investigations.
The GSPCA is launching an urgent appeal for funds and forever homes for four very special cats, including Spud, a brave young kitten who has overcome incredible odds and currently recovering from an operation at the vets from a blockage.

Today, on World Cat Day, the GSPCA is celebrating the incredible bond between cats and their humans—and the vital work we do to protect, care for, and rehome our feline friends across the island.
Each year, the GSPCA helps thousands of cats and owners through a wide range of services, from rescuing strays and reuniting lost pets to providing safe shelter, foster care, and boarding.
The GSPCA in any one year can help 150 to up 300 cats hit by cars on the road every year and there is no law in place for those that caused the accident to report the injured or in many cases deceased feline.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “On average every year the GSPCA helps between 150 and 200 cats hit by vehicles on our roads every year.”
“In one year the number rose to 300 and in that year there were 5 that I helped in just one night shift.”
The GSPCA have been recently contacted by Janie Rabet who is actively helping long term cats that are still missing.

‘HELP PLEASE!
I'm trying to build an easy to search database of long lost (more than one month) cats in Guernsey that we can all refer to easily on GuernseyCats.com
On our 152nd anniversary of the GSPCA an extremely poorly stray cat arrived at the GSPCA that needed rushing to the vets.
Brie as the young ginger female cat has been called had a very large and extremely infected would to her side which could be smelt well before you could see it.
The suffering she must have been enduring would have been extremely unpleasant and painful and the extent of the infection meant that on examination it was apparent that it was likely to have been some weeks Brie had been suffering for.
Thursday 20th February is Love Your Pet Day and we would love to see pictures of your pets loved pets

24/7 the GSPCA helps and rescues animals which are sick, injured and needing help.
One of the cats currently in our care currently needs an operation which will cost over £1000.

The GSPCA has recently been contacted by an owner concerned someone is giving additional unnecessary treatment to her beloved cat.
Many cat owners allow their cats to enjoy the fresh air and freedom of Guernsey and although over 80% of island cats are microchipped few have collars due to concerns many owners have in regards their cats safety with the way their cats explore which can lead to members of public assuming they aren’t owned with no visible id.
