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.

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.

There are many reasons cats come into the GSPCA.
Not all have loving caring starts to their lives and at the GSPCA we are always looking for farm or rural cats for those cats that didn’t have the kindest of upbringings or those cats that can be a bit grumpy with people.
Anna Paint GSPCA Animal Care Supervisor said “We currently have three cats with us that are more suited to a free roaming/rural life, Meet. Jim, Ramsey and Twiglet.”

Earlier this month two volunteers from a French cat charity popped into the GSPCA for a visit.
The two volunteers from Les Puces which is based in Brittany help cats and kittens through their network of foster homes.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “It is always wonderful to meet, chat too and show visitors from other rescues around the GSPCA.”
“It sounds like they have some real challenges with cat numbers in Brittany and it was wonderful to chat and to give them helpful tips and other organisations that can help.”

Every day the GSPCA rush animals to the vets needing vet care and treatment and one very special cat needing an operation is Starsky.
Starsky is a feral cat from Sark who we are hoping to return him to the island where someone can watch over him once he has had a much needed operation.
Starsky has already had blood tests to check he is healthy other than a nasty eye issue requiring an entropion operation which will cost with care around £500.
