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.

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 called Oopsie had a very large operation.
Oopsie is one of the oldest cats at the GSPCA at 17 years old who arrived in the Autumn after her owner sadly passed away.
Oopsie is a lovely cat but unfortunately had a nasty growth in ear that needs removing.
We are pleased to say te operation went well and she is now recuperating at the GSPCA.

At the GSPCA we help 1000’s of animals every year, but we have seen a drop in numbers of dogs and cats needing our help find homes locally, although we do help them in many other ways.
In recent years we have been trying to help animals from UK and Irish SPCA animal shelters and Association of Dog and Cat Home members, but with the Covid Pandemic this has been very difficult.
