A purrrrfect gift for our cats

Submitted by Steve on 21:26, 3rd Mar, 2015 | 0

Last week at the GSPCA we received a wonderful donation.

30 home made purple fleecy blankets were dropped off with a wonderful card.

The blankets which are ideal for our cats are very comfy and warm and also very easy to wash and dry.

All of the team would like to pass on a special thanks to Linda Laine who made them on her sewing machine.

The first cat to be given one of the fleecy cosy blankets was Socks a young male tabby and white cat who was very grateful and really enjoyed the gift.

Statistics from Petlog show that Guernsey has more cats than any other area in the UK

Submitted by Steve on 22:27, 25th Feb, 2015 | 1

In Guernsey the GSPCA estimate that there are approximately 8,000 to 10,000 pet dogs and also the same number in cats owned.

This estimation has recently been reinforced with the Petlog statistical data which shows in their figures that Guernsey is an island of cat owners.

The Mirror recently looked at cat microchipping data from Petlog to determine where most cats live, and the most popular cats in each area.

Do you remember Spot the feral kitten rescued last November? Spot now Minion loving her new home

Submitted by Steve on 17:52, 4th Feb, 2015 | 0

You may remember last November a feral kitten was rescued from the Admiral Park area in Guernsey.

The kitten was extremely nervous and she had a belly full of worms and a coat covered in fleas.

After a series of treatments and care at the GSPCA she was fit enough to go to a new home.

This week at the GSPCA we have received an update and we are pleased to announce she is doing extremely well.

Anna Paint Senior Animal Care Assistant said "Spot was extremely nervous and in bit of a state when she first arrived at the GSPCA last November."

Kenya now Scully our longest stay cat is in his new and forever home

Submitted by Steve on 15:11, 30th Jan, 2015 | 0

Kenya arrived at the GSPCA on the 10th July 2013 and up until yesterday was our longest stay cat in need of a home.

Mitzi a black female cat was our last ever longest stay cat in recent years and had been at the GSPCA for nearly 2 years.  She was rehomed this month and we have had some wonderful updates that she is doing very well.

Kenya originally was a very nervous cat when he first arrived at the GSPCA and did not always show himself well to people he didn't know.

Amber living happily ever after

Submitted by Steve on 11:15, 26th Jan, 2015 | 0

At the GSPCA we see animals of all shapes, ages and sizes in need of good homes coming through our doors.

Last October a female tabby cat called Amber arrived at 12 years of age.

She couldn't go straight up for adoption as she needed her bloods taken and ensure she was healthy.

After the results came back thankfully she was fine although her kidney levels would need monitoring as she gets older.

We have a waiting list for new owners looking for kittens, but often struggle finding the older cats a new home.

Can you help us help Kenya our longest stay cat find that forever home?

Submitted by Steve on 18:13, 20th Jan, 2015 | 0

Kenya has been with us since the 10th July 2013 and is now our longest stay cat in need of a home as we recently rehomed Mitzi.

Kenya originally was a very nervous cat when he first arrived at the GSPCA and did not always show himself well to people he didn't know.

Kenya now has got to know quite a few different people, which has made his confidence blossom and helped him realise that there are lots of nice people in the world.

Kenya needs a quiet home only as an only pet and is also not good with children (he still finds them very scary).

Could you help Nala find that forever home?

Submitted by Steve on 16:02, 16th Jan, 2015 | 0

Nala is a 7 year old cat in need of a home and has been at the GSPCA for nearly a year.

She is a friendly girl who is in need of a quiet home as an only pet.

Nala has Arthritis, so she is currently on EaseFlex and Metacam for this. Due to her condition Nala needs a home with no young children as it can cause her pain to be be handled, especially if she is picked up. However Nala loves to play with her knitted mice, they are her favourite toys.

She loves being made a fuss of and is a very affectionate cat.

Mitzi the longest stay cat starts the New Year in her new home

Submitted by Steve on 16:56, 12th Jan, 2015 | 0

Mitzi the cat arrived at the GSPCA on the 10th April 2013.

Sadly due to her getting a bit grumpy every so often finding her a home proved very difficult.

Over the New Year a potential new owner came forward showing an interest and on Saturday Mitzi left for her forever home.

Anna Paint Senior Animal Care assistant said "It is always mixed emotions when one of our cats go to their new homes as we do get attached to them, although it is a great feeling when they do leave for their new home."

What are the witches doing this Halloween? The unwanted black cat

Submitted by Steve on 10:49, 31st Oct, 2014 | 0

Once again the GSPCA have a Halloween full of black cats.

As seems the trend across animal welfare organisations the black cat certainly isn't the lucky colour of the feline world.

Currently nearly half the stray and unwanted adult cats at the GSPCA are either black or black and white and some have been looking for a new home for over a year.
