Have you completed the petition in regards the law for cats hit by vehicles?

Submitted by Steve on 12:38, 6th Jun, 2025 | 0

The GSPCA in any one year can help 150 to up 300 cats hit by cars on the road every year and there is no law in place for those that caused the accident to report the injured or in many cases deceased feline.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “On average every year the GSPCA helps between 150 and 200 cats hit by vehicles on our roads every year.”

“In one year the number rose to 300 and in that year there were 5 that I helped in just one night shift.”

Brie the loving stray cat despite recovering from an incredibly horrendous infection – Please donate to her care

Submitted by Steve on 12:44, 27th Feb, 2025 | 0

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.

Can you help a cat needing a Rural or Farm type home from the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 19:22, 8th Dec, 2023 | 0

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.”
