Earlier this year a very kind lady made a fantastic donation that has enabled us to improve the many rabbits lives whilst they are at the GSPCA Animal Shelter.
In the last year the Animal Shelter has had to help rehome dozens of rabbits with the Christmas period proving to be a time where the shelter has had more rabbits in our care than anyone could ever recall.
Thankfully many of these rabbits are now in loving caring homes but for those that are at the Shelter we are always looking to help improve their stay.

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.

Yesterday morning we were brought in another bird affected by the Torrey Canyon.
There are a number of birds nesting around Chouet and yesterday morning a caring member of public found a young kestrel with oiled feathers.
Olive as she is now named is at the Shelter, seen the vet and made it through the night which is a good sign but she has a long road to recovery.

This Sunday gone volunteers led by Corrine Connoly organised a sponsored dog walk which was also led by Corinne’s dog Sidney.
The route which was just under 5 miles went from Grandes Roques up to Pembroke Bay. Despite the weather over 20 volunteers and participants took part with over a dozen dogs that also helped with stewarding and taking part in the walk.
The weather with high winds and wet at times proved chilly and cold so many of the dogs wore coats to keep them warm and dry as well as their handlers with Sidney sporting a very nice flying jacket.

During March Curves Guernsey at Admiral Park collected food to help the Women’s Refuge and the GSPCA.
The female only gym asked members to donate non-perishable food and donations for both the Women's Refuge and the Animal Shelter
Emma Trousdale Welfare and Education Officer popped down to collect the food from Becky Chandler and the team last week and couldn't believe it.
Emma said 'I couldn't believe how much they collected.' 'There was over a tonne of animal food which meant the van was packed top to bottom.'

As the New Year came and the Wildlife Unit filling with animals nearly every day, the hot water demand has been at full tilt for cleaning the many cages and feed bowls.
The boilers in this building being over 20 years old decided that they could cope no more and failed in January leaving the staff boiling kettles whilst we tried to figure out what to do.

Carey Olsen Charities Committee have worked hard in raising money for 3 charities which they nominated and these were Guernsey Cheshire Homes, Les Bourgs Hospice and the GSPCA.
They rose a total of £25,000 which they shared between the three charities. We received £8,242,93p. The money paid for a new van for Lorna Prince (Welfare Manager) to enable her to do her much needed work on the island to help animals in need and the remainder is going to improve facilities for animals at the shelter.
