Iris the cat is very happy in her new home

Submitted by Steve on 22:23, 17th Nov, 2016 | 0

We always love to hear from owners of adopted animals from the GSPCA and last week we waved Iris the cat off to her new home.

Iris was found as a stray with a few minor health issues including fleas and a little fur missing and sadly with no microchip and despite trying to find an owner she wasn't claimed so was placed up for rehoming.

With all stray animals under Guernsey law we have to care for them for a period of 21 days to give an owner time to come forward and do what we can to reunite them.

National Black Cat Day - could you help one of our many black cats find its lucky forever home this Halloween

Submitted by Steve on 08:54, 27th Oct, 2016 | 0

Black cats have had a mixed reaction for centuries with many people believing them a bad omen even in 2016.

Despite each year at the GSPCA and many other charities promoting black cats in need of homes they continue to be the main colour of cat that is often skipped by when new adoptees are looking to adopt a cat.

Today is National Black Cat Day, a day to raise awareness of the many black and white cats waiting for homes in rehoming centres.

FABULOUS NEWS - Bob the diabetic cat will spend this Christmas in a loving new home

Submitted by Steve on 20:10, 17th Oct, 2016 | 0

The team at the GSPCA are overjoyed to report that on Saturday Bob the diabetic cat was waved off by staff and volunteers to his forever home.

Nearly a year ago Bob was found as a very poorly grumpy stray cat which we never found his original owner.

It wasn't long before he was diagnosed with diabetes and after some time and a lot of tests both his health and temperament improved greatly during his time at the Animal Shelter.

Bob the diabetic cat has an update on his insulin levels - Could you offer him a home or donate to his care

Submitted by Steve on 16:22, 29th Sep, 2016 | 0

Have you met our lovely Bob yet?

Bob came in as a very grumpy, sick stray cat last year but we quickly found he was only grumpy as he wasn't well.

After a series of tests with help from the vets we found Bob was diabetic and had to go on a special diet and insulin injections twice a day.

A year later and he is much improved and this week his medication was reduced as he is so stable.

Very sick stray cat from Les Banques spends 3 days on a drip -are you missing a very ill old cat or could you donate to her care

Submitted by Steve on 10:40, 29th Sep, 2016 | 0

On Sunday a very poorly, sick, thin cat was rushed to the vets and has been on a drip for the last 3 days.

The old stray cat was found near Les Banques and has had a number of health issues and sadly no microchip.

The condition the cat was found in meant it would have likely not made a recovery if it hadn't have been taken to the vets when it was found.

The team have called the cat Mercedes who is a black and white female of an age estimated over 10 years.

We have been checking lost and found reports but we have not yet found any matches.

Louis the cat loving his new home

Submitted by Steve on 16:24, 12th Sep, 2016 | 0

On the 6th October last year a very large tabby cat called Louis arrived at the GSPCA as his owner could no longer look after him.

Louis is a very handsome chap and was a 2 year old male cat that sadly suffered with a form of asthma and was on some medication each day when he first arrived.

When Louis first joined us at the GSPCA he was very timid and nervous but as he got to know the team at the GSPCA hr improved each day and grew more confident and friendly.

Kitten survives car engine journey - Rambo now Beau is doing extremely well after a near death experience

Submitted by Steve on 13:07, 1st Sep, 2016 | 0

Early last month a young kitten survived a near death experience.

A member of the public when out on a drive heard a strange noise coming from their car and when they stopped they discovered a young kitten who was barely old enough to be away from his mother.

The kitten understandably was extremely scared and bolted. Some time was taken in catching the young animal which survived a very dangerous situation and has been at the GSPCA for almost a month after Sarah Ozanne who was the GSPCA Ambulance Driver went out to rescue the kitten.

Submitted by Steve on 16:33, 11th Jul, 2016 | 0

The team at the GSPCA were over joyed recently when the longest stay cat who is actually diabetic found her forever home.

Staff and volunteers all loved 'Monkey' a female tortie cat that arrived at the Animal Shelter in May 2015 after her owner could no longer care for her.

Whilst at the GSPCA we discovered she was in fact diabetic and it took many months to get her treatment and diet to the right levels.

Monkey has a loving and wonderful kind nature although she is on a special diet and requires injecting twice a day.
