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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You may remember Thumbs our life saving cat.
Thumbs towards the end of 2013 was the very cat who helped save the life of a cat that required a blood transfusion at Isabelle Vets.
We are over joyed to report that Thumbs is now in a new and loving home and without doubt is very settled and happy.
Thumbs has a fantastic new family and now has two older human brothers who are very fond of him.
Anna Paint Senior Animal Care Assistant said 'It is wonderful to see Thumbs so happy in his new home.'
We are over the moon to report that Tilly and Topsy who up until recently were the longest stay cats at the GSPCA are now in their forever home.
That now means that Mitzi who arrived at the Shelter last April is now the longest stay cat at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
At just over 9 years of age Mitzi needs a home where she can have her own space.
Robin is a male adult stray cat that came in extremely thin with multiple health problems.
When first found he even smelt as though he had been living out of a bin for some time.
With no owner found, Robin who has a lovely nature is in desperate need for your help and requires major surgery on his head to remove growths from both ears.
Anna Paint Senior Animal Care Assistant said 'Robin is adorable and has been through a lot already and we now need help to get his ears operated on.'
The GSPCA is currently inundated with animals in need of new homes.
With World Animal Day on the 4th October we are giving Islanders a chance to view many of the animals in need by having open days and evenings at the GSPCA Animal Shelter on Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday 2nd October between 11am and 8pm and on Thursday 3rd October between 11am until 4pm.
