Today Scarlet the black long haired female cat has been with the Shelter for one day over 12 months and we need your help.
We really want to find her a new home and if you can't help maybe you could spread the word by chatting to friends, using social networks like twitter or facebook or even ask your work place to pop a poster up or pop her in your work newsletter.
This makes Scarlet the longest stay cat at the Shelter, please help her.....
Here is a little about Scarlet -

Recently we put out an appeal for volunteers to knit mice for the many cats we have at the Shelter as strays, looking for homes and also in for welfare reasons.
We had a fantastic response and within days handed out dozens of patterns and since received hundreds of mice that have been hand made and now entertain the cats and kittens we have at the Shelter.

Last month two of our kittens were rehomed to Alderney.
Jack and Jill were the first kittens to be born at the Shelter this year. They were born on the 12th February from a stray cat called Darwina who has had a number of health problems, but fortunately has raised two gorgeous kittens.
When Jack and Jill became available for adoption we placed them on our website and social networks. A lovely lady by the name of Patti Brett spotted them on our facebook page and got in touch.

Widget is one of many cats that we have had come into the Animal Shelter with a horrific collar injury.
Every week the GSPCA receive stray cats with collars without safety buckles. The elasticated and non safety collars put cats lives at risk as they can get caught and in the worse cases can be fatal.

The GSPCA since the launch of our special offer of £4.99p has microchipped over 100 dogs and cats. With nearly 1 in 2 stray cats and dogs that come into the Shelter have no form of ID the GSPCA launched an offer to try and ensure as many pets are chipped as possible.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'We are so pleased with the number we have chipped so far but there are tens of thousands of dogs and cats in Guernsey and if there are only half that are chipped we still have a long way to go.'
Below are some of the details, facts and figures released last month -

We are always looking for volunteers to help at the Shelter in a variety of roles.
With the dramatic increase in hedgehogs over the past 5 months we are appealing for those interested in helping care and clean the hedgehogs here at the Animal Shelter. In fact we currently have 64 hedgehogs in our care with another on it's way.

Be aware this weekend you could be putting your pet at risk this Easter if you feed your pet chocolate intended for people.
Across the Bailiwick we are all stocking up Easter eggs and chocolate as gifts for family and loved ones but the GSPCA has an important message for pet owners.

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.
