The Christmas Lottery this year is helping save lives.

Thanks to a grant from the Christmas Lottery the GSPCA have been able to purchase an additional 5 Intensive Care Units.

June is always a busy month for the GSPCA as we are inundated with young animals and birds.

Currently the GSPCA has many young birds, baby hedgehogs, kittens, baby bunnies, new born degus, not to mention many sick and injured animals and birds.

The team at the GSPCA were overjoyed to be one of the many worthy causes to receive a grant to help purchase additional Intensive Care Units.

Please help care for the wildlife of Guernsey | A message from the GSPCA and RSPB Guernsey

Submitted by GSPCA on 11:38, 13th Jun, 2013 | 0

The GSPCA and RSPB in Guernsey want you and your dog to enjoy your walk but we are appealing to owners to take care when you are out walking.

Spring and early Summer is the main season when your dog needs to be properly controlled to protect young farm animals and ground-nesting birds.

Ground nesting birds during the bird breeding season, which is usually April to July is a time when we are asking you to keep your dog under close control or on a short lead in areas where they may be nesting.

Submitted by GSPCA on 17:19, 8th Mar, 2013 | 0

Every day we see sick and injured animals here at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in Guernsey.

Oscar a male black and white cat although looks quite healthy has kidney problems and the GSPCA and our vets are trying to determine what is the exact problem.

After a series of tests he currently is having a 3 week course of antibiotics to hopefully cure what we are hoping will be just an infection.

Oscar is just one of the many un-neutered, stray cats we have had in at the Shelter this year and we are urging owners to ensure their cats are spayed with Spring upon us.

You may have heard about or seen Cinders the cat on the internet or local media.

She came in to the Shelter for rehoming but unfortunately had a number of issues with her health, teeth and gums.

Cinders had an initial opertation and has been on treatment for two months but unfortunately yesterday the brave decision had to be made to remove all but her 4 canines leaving her with a very gummy mouth.

Although never an easy decision, despite a series of treatments, it was decided to remove many of Cinders teeth as it was in her best interest.
