Tomorrow is World Stray Day and the GSPCA are urging pet owners to ensure that their pets are microchipped.
Every month the GSPCA deal with dozens of stray dogs and cats that are found wandering the streets or as road traffic accidents.

Deacon the young black and white cat who wasn’t very well when he arrived at the Shelter has now had his operation to remove a total of 26 teeth leaving him with only 4 left.
This was due to a medical issue that he had and the medical treatment and care has topped over £1000. We would like to thank everyone so far that helped donate to this lovely little lad as without kind donations, monthly giving and legacies we wouldn’t be able to care for cats like Deacon.

Deacon is a stunning 7 month old black and white kitten that has won the hearts of staff and visitors at the Shelter.
Sadly he has been diagnosed with gingivostomatitis, a quite painful disease of the gums. Unfortunately there are a lot of contributing factors to the condition which means that Deacon will have to undergo lots of veterinary treatment until it can be brought under control. Sadly if the initial treatments are not effective he may have to have most of his teeth removed all of which is likely to exceed £1000!.

Blue came into the Animal Shelter as an extremely thin stray nearly 3 months ago.
After doing a number of tests it has become apparent that the poor little fella is hyperthyroid and therefore on treatment for the rest of his life.
The vet has estimated that he is between 9 and 11 years old but it is difficult to say due to his health problems.

Borneo is a female cat that came into the Shelter via one of our Welfare Officers who found her in a terrible state and obviously in pain and suffering.

We all hope that Valentines Day will be a happy one and for 2012 it certainly was for one cat.

With the cold weather the GSPCA are appealing for help towards electric heat pads for the animals in our care.
We have a variety of species from cats to hedgehogs all in need of items to keep them warm in this cold snap. Although we have enough to manage at present we are appealing for donations so that we can purchase additional heaters in case we have more sick, injured or abandoned animals brought in this winter and what will no doubt be a busy time when the fledgling season starts.

With winter and cold weather with us and potential snow on the way the GSPCA want pet owners and the public to consider all the animals of Guernsey. During a cold snap the GSPCA are on full alert, ready to deal with a variety of animals affected by the cold weather.
But you can also do your bit to prevent animals suffering over the cold period.
DO you have a pond?

Every year the GSPCA have to deal with animals after the Christmas period that become discarded or unwanted after being given as gifts on Christmas Day.
With only a few days until Christmas the GSPCA are asking people not to rush out and get a pet for a Christmas present even if its on Santas list. Instead we ask that the family or household think seriously and if you are looking to bring a new pet into the home then leave it until after the festive period when households return to normal and it is less stressful for a new pet in a new home.
