Another happy forever home for a GSPCA cat.

Almost 2 months ago Bronx a tabby male cat was brought into the GSPCA with no microchip and no owner found.

After his 21 days at the GSPCA in line with the new Animal Welfare Law, an assessment, vet treatment and checks the lovely friendly cat found a new home.

Bronx who is now called 'Hugo' is doing very well and his new owners informed us today with the following words  "We thought you would like to know that Hugo who was Bronx has settled in well to his new home. "

From vinery to forever home - Longest stay cat Vinnie waves farewell to his GSPCA friends

Submitted by Steve on 17:40, 9th Mar, 2015 | 0

On Saturday our longest stay cat went to his new home after being at the GSPCA since September 2013.

Vinnie arrived at the GSPCA over 18 months ago after being found as a very feisty young feral at a local vinery.

With a very nervous disposition it has been very difficult to find the right owner for Vinnie, but on Saturday after the new owner spending some time getting to know him over the last few weeks we waved him off to his forever home.

Tortoga finds a home with an especially warm heart

Submitted by Steve on 17:58, 7th Mar, 2015 | 0

Tortoga at only a year of age arrived at the GSPCA last July as a stray.

On her vet check however she was found to have a heart murmur.

With a really difficult start in life we have been trying to find Tortoga a new home for over 8 months.

We often struggle to find homes for older animals and those with health issues and we were overjoyed when someone offered Tortoga the loving new home she really deserved.

Helen Sharman Animal Care Assistant said "Tortoga was very shy when she first arrived as a stray at the GSPCA."

A purrrrfect gift for our cats

Submitted by Steve on 21:26, 3rd Mar, 2015 | 0

Last week at the GSPCA we received a wonderful donation.

30 home made purple fleecy blankets were dropped off with a wonderful card.

The blankets which are ideal for our cats are very comfy and warm and also very easy to wash and dry.

All of the team would like to pass on a special thanks to Linda Laine who made them on her sewing machine.

The first cat to be given one of the fleecy cosy blankets was Socks a young male tabby and white cat who was very grateful and really enjoyed the gift.

Submitted by Steve on 22:27, 25th Feb, 2015 | 1

In Guernsey the GSPCA estimate that there are approximately 8,000 to 10,000 pet dogs and also the same number in cats owned.

This estimation has recently been reinforced with the Petlog statistical data which shows in their figures that Guernsey is an island of cat owners.

The Mirror recently looked at cat microchipping data from Petlog to determine where most cats live, and the most popular cats in each area.

Submitted by Steve on 15:11, 30th Jan, 2015 | 0

Kenya arrived at the GSPCA on the 10th July 2013 and up until yesterday was our longest stay cat in need of a home.

Mitzi a black female cat was our last ever longest stay cat in recent years and had been at the GSPCA for nearly 2 years.  She was rehomed this month and we have had some wonderful updates that she is doing very well.

Kenya originally was a very nervous cat when he first arrived at the GSPCA and did not always show himself well to people he didn't know.

Amber living happily ever after

Submitted by Steve on 11:15, 26th Jan, 2015 | 0

At the GSPCA we see animals of all shapes, ages and sizes in need of good homes coming through our doors.

Last October a female tabby cat called Amber arrived at 12 years of age.

She couldn't go straight up for adoption as she needed her bloods taken and ensure she was healthy.

After the results came back thankfully she was fine although her kidney levels would need monitoring as she gets older.

We have a waiting list for new owners looking for kittens, but often struggle finding the older cats a new home.

Can you help us help Kenya our longest stay cat find that forever home?

Submitted by Steve on 18:13, 20th Jan, 2015 | 0

Kenya has been with us since the 10th July 2013 and is now our longest stay cat in need of a home as we recently rehomed Mitzi.

Kenya originally was a very nervous cat when he first arrived at the GSPCA and did not always show himself well to people he didn't know.

Kenya now has got to know quite a few different people, which has made his confidence blossom and helped him realise that there are lots of nice people in the world.

Kenya needs a quiet home only as an only pet and is also not good with children (he still finds them very scary).

Could you help Nala find that forever home?

Submitted by Steve on 16:02, 16th Jan, 2015 | 0

Nala is a 7 year old cat in need of a home and has been at the GSPCA for nearly a year.

She is a friendly girl who is in need of a quiet home as an only pet.

Nala has Arthritis, so she is currently on EaseFlex and Metacam for this. Due to her condition Nala needs a home with no young children as it can cause her pain to be be handled, especially if she is picked up. However Nala loves to play with her knitted mice, they are her favourite toys.

She loves being made a fuss of and is a very affectionate cat.
