With cold weather coming and potential sleet and snow on the way the GSPCA want pet owners 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 low temperatures.
But you can also do your bit to prevent animals suffering over the cold period.
Do you have a pond?
If you have a pond, make sure you check it every day for ice, as toxic gases can build up in the water of a frozen pond. These can kill fish or frogs that are hibernating at the bottom.

Felix has now been at the GSPCA Animal Shelter since October 2011 and we want to start the New Year finding her that forever home.
She came in as a feral and unfortunately is still very nervous so would best suit a farm or stable yard home. At only 3 years of age she does get on well with other cats and we are asking for your help.
Even if you can't offer her a home if you could download a poster and display it or even spread the word of her needing a home from talking to friends to sharing on social networks such as facebook and twitter we would really appreciate it.

The GSPCA this Autumn is appealing for homes for some of our Autumn cats.
You may wonder what is an Autumn cat? Well these are our golden oldies, those cats that are needing a quiet retirement home.

The GSPCA has been helping animals in Guernsey for over 139 years and in that time has helped thousands every year.
The housing for the cats is nearly 40 years old and with the demands on the Shelter every day the cattery is full to bursting in aged accommodation.

Over the past month the GSPCA has seen a rise in the number of cats that have been brought into the Shelter following a road traffic accident. The most commonly given reason by the driver for hitting the animal is that they just “simply didn’t see it”. And sadly the GSPCA is expecting to see a further increase in these numbers as the nights draw in, the clocks go back and we find ourselves lighting up to for the drive home.

The GSPCA is asking for your help for this very friendly poorly cat.
Roger came into the Shelter as a very elderly sick stray earlier this month. When he arrived he had multiple health problems and needed to be rushed to the vets where he was placed on a drip and under intensive care for some time.
The vets are now recommending he has a number of tests and an operation before the Animal Shelter can find him a good home.

We need your help.
The GSPCA currently has two cats that next month will have been at the Shelter in search of a new home for over a year.
Felix and Victor are two strays that arrived at the Shelter last October as semi-ferals. Although their behaviour has much improved with the TLC staff and volunteers have given them we are still in search of a very special home for these very independent cats.
The Shelter currently has over 25 cats looking for homes at the Shelter and many more strays and others being treated before they can go up for adoption.

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.
