Submitted by Steve on 17:52, 10th Mar, 2017 | 0

We overjoyed to report that Catrina is now at the GSPCA after over a month at Isabelle Vets.

Catrina was found on a wet, cold, dark evening 5 weeks ago after being hit by a car and has needed intensive care at the vets.

Sadly with no microchip and no owner this loving, affectionate and sweet cat has been cared for by the team at Isabelle Vets and the GSPCA.

Catrina needed an extensive operation and her veterinary treatment continues as she has a number of health issues but she is improving on a daily basis.

We are pleased to report that Catrina the cat continues to improve although she is still under the care of the vets.

Sadly as no owner has come forward for Catrina in the 21 days required under Guernsey law.  The job we have now at the GSPCA with the help of Isabelle Vets is to get her well and strong enough to find her a home.

Catrina the cat is still at the vets and as we write this has gone to be operated on.

A huge thank you to all that have donated so far to her care, sadly we still have no idea who she belongs to but she has been improving each day.

We all have our fingers crossed for her and she will have to stay at the vets over the weekend at the very least.

Catrina the cat who nearly died needs an operation - could you help donate to her care

Submitted by Steve on 19:20, 15th Feb, 2017 | 0

You may remember Catrina the stray cat who was rescued collapsed, soaking wet, starving and with no hair or skin on her tail last week.

Catrina was in such a poor state she has had to stay at the vets where she has received intensive, around the clock care.

It is highly likely she was hit by a vehicle although had a number of other health issues when she was found.

She has been growing stronger each day but she will need an operation on her pelvis which with her care is going to cost nearly a £1000.

Oldest cat to be rehomed by the GSPCA Lucy is loving her new home and sends a special message to the team

Submitted by Steve on 19:01, 10th Feb, 2017 | 0

Last year an 18 year old cat called Lucy was brought into the GSPCA as sadly her owner could no longer care for her.

As all rescues will know trying to find the older cat a new home is extremely difficult as most are looking to adopt kittens or young cats.

On Saturday the GSPCA team were overjoyed when after 9 months of care at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews Lucy finally found her forever home and this week we have had an update on how she is getting along....

Stray soaking wet, thin, injured cat with no skin on her tail, needing x-rays rescued last night & needs your help at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 17:25, 7th Feb, 2017 | 0

Last night the GSPCA Wardens were called out to L'Islet to help rescue a very poorly injured cat.

The grey female cat had clear injuries and was taken directly to Isabelle Vets where she has been cared for overnight and undergoing x-rays and tests as she is very unwell before coming back to the GSPCA.

When she was rescued she was soaking wet, flat, lethargic, and barely moving her back legs.

Sadly she had no microchip or tag to contact an owner and the most apparent injury was her skin had been taken off of her tail.
