Christmas Gifts Should Have Meaning & Not Real Feelings

Submitted by GSPCA on 01:40, 22nd Dec, 2011 | 0

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.

Late Night Shopping and the GSPCA join in on the fun

Submitted by GSPCA on 01:13, 22nd Dec, 2011 | 0

This evening we had a stall at Oatlands Late Night Shopping selling all sorts of GSPCA goods as well as a lovely selection of Reindeer Antlers and Noses.

We would like to thank all that popped by and supported us, as well as the management at Oatlands for inviting us and of course the staff that volunteered and helped out.

All the money raised will go towards the welfare work that the GSPCA does and if you missed us then we will be outside Instep in St Peter Port tomorrow night with lots more goods including a wide selection of pet stocking fillers.

It's Cat Herders Day Today

Submitted by GSPCA on 11:04, 15th Dec, 2011 | 0

If you can say that your job, or even your life, is like trying to herd cats, then this day is for you!

Cat Herders Day was created by Thomas and Ruth Roy of Wellcat Holidays to honor all of the people in the world whose lives can be compared to the impossible task of herding cats. This time of year it is easy to feel as if we’re chasing after a bunch of independent-minded felines.

A Christmas Gift that shows you care for only £5

Submitted by GSPCA on 09:47, 13th Dec, 2011 | 0

For only five pounds you can buy a gift certificate that will give one of the animals in our care a fantastic Christmas.

That’s right you will receive a certificate for yourself or someone you care for and that will enable us at the Shelter to give the animals in our care a very special Christmas.

We will ensure they have a present and a lovely meal and of course lots of very special hugs and cuddles, well for those domestic animals anyway as our hedgehogs and other wild animals may not want lots of hugs!!!
