Mitzi the longest stay cat starts the New Year in her new home

Submitted by Steve on 16:56, 12th Jan, 2015 | 0

Mitzi the cat arrived at the GSPCA on the 10th April 2013.

Sadly due to her getting a bit grumpy every so often finding her a home proved very difficult.

Over the New Year a potential new owner came forward showing an interest and on Saturday Mitzi left for her forever home.

Anna Paint Senior Animal Care assistant said "It is always mixed emotions when one of our cats go to their new homes as we do get attached to them, although it is a great feeling when they do leave for their new home."

What are the witches doing this Halloween? The unwanted black cat

Submitted by Steve on 10:49, 31st Oct, 2014 | 0

Once again the GSPCA have a Halloween full of black cats.

As seems the trend across animal welfare organisations the black cat certainly isn't the lucky colour of the feline world.

Currently nearly half the stray and unwanted adult cats at the GSPCA are either black or black and white and some have been looking for a new home for over a year.

Have you lost a very poorly ginger cat in St Peter Port?

Submitted by Steve on 11:10, 22nd Aug, 2014 | 0

Yesterday the GSPCA rescued a very poorly ginger cat.

The stray ginger very thin entire male was found with no microchip or collar in St Peter Port.

We have now named the young adult male cat Elmo but due to his ill health he has been rushed to the vets where they are keeping in their care on a drip.

Elmo has been in the La Petite Fontaine area since Sunday the 17th August.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "I have just spoken to our vets and Elmo is not very well at all and will need to be kept in at the vets over the weekend on a drip."

Appeal to help 3 very special cats at the GSPCA with their operations - Tortoga, Morgan & Popeye need your help

Submitted by Steve on 17:12, 12th Aug, 2014 | 0

At the GSPCA we currently have 3 cats in need of support.

You may have heard the story of Popeye the cat.  Sadly Popeye has a very poorly eye that requires additional investigations and an operation.  He came in with a cat called Grayson after their owner sadly passed away.  We would love to rehome them together, but before we can we need to get Popeye fit and well.

Drum roll...... Mr Chips the diabetic cat finds his forever home

Submitted by Steve on 15:47, 14th Jul, 2014 | 0

Staff and volunteers at the GSPCA today have both been over joyed and also had a few tears as we waved Mr Chips the very famous cat at the Shelter off to his new home.

Mr Chips who has been at the Shelter since April last year has experienced many adventures whilst at the Shelter.

On entry he was very unstable with his diabetes which took many months to find the correct dosage of insulin and medicated diet.

Mr Chips has also experienced many school trips and tours meeting hundreds of children and adults who all fell in love with the stunning cat that he is.

Submitted by Steve on 13:42, 20th Mar, 2014 | 0

The GSPCA rehomes hundreds of cats every year and help thousands more.

Sadly many of the strays and those no longer being able to be cared for by their owners come in with health problems.

Currently we have two stunning cats in need of operations.

Trio who has gone through a number of medical treatments and a very difficult start to her 2 years of life has half a back right leg which needs operating on further.

She is one of the teams favourites but before we can rehome her we have to ensure she ready and healthy.

Dillon the cats memory lives on at the GSPCA & Guernsey Animal Aid Cats

Submitted by Steve on 16:31, 7th Mar, 2014 | 0

The death of Dillon the cat hit many islanders very hard as he was a friend to many that frequent St Peter Port.

He spent much of his time Paint and Sons' Jewelers and the staff there have received many cards and donations in loving memory of the wonderful 5 year old feline.

It is believed during the awful recent weather and high tides that Dillon may have been taken by the waves as they crashed over the walls along the front of St Peter Port.

After a sad start in life we love to see happy pets in their new homes like Fern

Submitted by GSPCA on 10:04, 18th Feb, 2014 | 0

At the GSPCA we rehome hundreds of pets every year.

Many are found stray or gifted into the Shelter as their owners can no longer care for them.

Pictured is Fern who came in very nervous and timid towards the end of 2012.

Fern came in with a number of other cats that were very scared and most were with us for some time before they found new owners.

After nearly 9 months at the Shelter Fern found her new home last Summer and as you can see by this wonderful picture she has settled in fantastically well.
