We were recently over joyed to get an update on Jack and Luli who was Jill, two cats that were adopted as kittens in the Summer of 2012.

Born at the Shelter from their mother Darwina a stray cat brought to the Shelter in the Spring of 2012 they were adopted and moved to live with Patti Bret in Alderney that Summer.

Anna Paint Senior Animal Care Assistant and head of the cattery said "We always love to get updates of the cats we have rehomed and hat a wonderful gift at Christmas to see how two of the kittens born at the Shelter are doing 4 years on."

Kit Kat after 8 months and a lot of treatment for an infected mouth finds his forever loving new home

Submitted by Steve on 22:59, 17th Nov, 2016 | 0

Back in March a stray cat was rescued and made its way to the GSPCA.  Sadly no owner could be found and the poor cat had a number of health issues.

The GSPCA named the cat Kit Kat who is a lovely man and who came to us as a stray with one of the worst mouths we have ever seen.

After a number of tests it was found that he has calicivirus, due to this the poor boy had to have all his remaining teeth removed and also had a few courses of antibiotics.

Because of his condition he needed to be a house cat with no other pets present, especially cats.

Iris the cat is very happy in her new home

Submitted by Steve on 22:23, 17th Nov, 2016 | 0

We always love to hear from owners of adopted animals from the GSPCA and last week we waved Iris the cat off to her new home.

Iris was found as a stray with a few minor health issues including fleas and a little fur missing and sadly with no microchip and despite trying to find an owner she wasn't claimed so was placed up for rehoming.

With all stray animals under Guernsey law we have to care for them for a period of 21 days to give an owner time to come forward and do what we can to reunite them.

National Black Cat Day - could you help one of our many black cats find its lucky forever home this Halloween

Submitted by Steve on 08:54, 27th Oct, 2016 | 0

Black cats have had a mixed reaction for centuries with many people believing them a bad omen even in 2016.

Despite each year at the GSPCA and many other charities promoting black cats in need of homes they continue to be the main colour of cat that is often skipped by when new adoptees are looking to adopt a cat.

Today is National Black Cat Day, a day to raise awareness of the many black and white cats waiting for homes in rehoming centres.

FABULOUS NEWS - Bob the diabetic cat will spend this Christmas in a loving new home

Submitted by Steve on 20:10, 17th Oct, 2016 | 0

The team at the GSPCA are overjoyed to report that on Saturday Bob the diabetic cat was waved off by staff and volunteers to his forever home.

Nearly a year ago Bob was found as a very poorly grumpy stray cat which we never found his original owner.

It wasn't long before he was diagnosed with diabetes and after some time and a lot of tests both his health and temperament improved greatly during his time at the Animal Shelter.

Bob the diabetic cat has an update on his insulin levels - Could you offer him a home or donate to his care

Submitted by Steve on 16:22, 29th Sep, 2016 | 0

Have you met our lovely Bob yet?

Bob came in as a very grumpy, sick stray cat last year but we quickly found he was only grumpy as he wasn't well.

After a series of tests with help from the vets we found Bob was diabetic and had to go on a special diet and insulin injections twice a day.

A year later and he is much improved and this week his medication was reduced as he is so stable.

Louis the cat loving his new home

Submitted by Steve on 16:24, 12th Sep, 2016 | 0

On the 6th October last year a very large tabby cat called Louis arrived at the GSPCA as his owner could no longer look after him.

Louis is a very handsome chap and was a 2 year old male cat that sadly suffered with a form of asthma and was on some medication each day when he first arrived.

When Louis first joined us at the GSPCA he was very timid and nervous but as he got to know the team at the GSPCA hr improved each day and grew more confident and friendly.

The team at the GSPCA were over joyed recently when the longest stay cat who is actually diabetic found her forever home.

Staff and volunteers all loved 'Monkey' a female tortie cat that arrived at the Animal Shelter in May 2015 after her owner could no longer care for her.

Whilst at the GSPCA we discovered she was in fact diabetic and it took many months to get her treatment and diet to the right levels.

Monkey has a loving and wonderful kind nature although she is on a special diet and requires injecting twice a day.

Kit Kats major operation - could you help this very poorly cat

Submitted by Steve on 11:27, 8th May, 2016 | 0

On the 23rd March of this year a very poorly sweet stray cat was brought into the GSPCA after being found wandering into someones kitchen near Les Genats Estate.

As with all strays under the Guernsey Animal Welfare Ordinance 2012 we held the 7 year old tabby for 21 days but sadly due to no microchiip, tag or lost report we were unable to find the owner of what we found to be a very sick cat.

Kit Kat as he has been fondly named is one of the friendliest cats we have at the GSPCA but sadly has a number of health issues.
