The GSPCA has been exceptionally busy with rabbits and baby bunnies in recent months.

With 25 currently at the Shelter we are still very busy and in need of homes.

Beckie Bailey GSPCA Animal Care Assistant and head of the bunnies said “We have had over 50 rabbits in our care recently and it has been very busy.”

“There also a number of diseases that affect rabbits here in Guernsey and we urge all rabbit owners to see their vet to ensure they are vaccinated and up to date with their medical needs.”

At the GSPCA we love to hear from those animals rehomed from the GSPCA and recently we had an update from Sparkle.

We often help animals from around the Channel Islands and Sparkle came from Sark,

Her new owners said “We promised to send an update on Sparkle, who we adopted just over two weeks ago.”

“We are pleased to say that she has settled in really well and is purring a lot.”

Submitted by Steve on 15:44, 1st Mar, 2019 | 0

Yesterday was a very sad day for the team at the GSPCA as we said farewell to Helen Holmes in her role who is without doubt one of the most diverse staff members at the GSPCA.

Helen has worked at the GSPCA for over 12 years and although has the title of Admin Manager you would often see her helping on animal departments, carrying out home visits, covering reception, helping at events, hand rearing animals, running the vet list, helping owners with their cremations and so many other duties that helped so many animals, their owners and the team throughout the GSPCA.
