Last week an appeal went out to help Lucy a cat who needed an operation due to a large growth.
We are saddened to report that after the operation and further investigation an extremely large intestinal lymphoma was found which was inoperable.
The GSPCA would like to thank you to all that supported Lucy and the very kind words.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Lucy was such an amazing cat and we are all devasted that we were unable to help such a loving and sweet cat.”

Last night the Guernsey Community Foundation Awards 2018 took place and the GSPCA were there in force with staff, volunteers and linked organisations as an amazing number of categories had GSPCA volunteers or projects as finalists.
Sadly 2018 wasn’t the year for the GSPCA to win an award but from the key speaker being GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne to the sheer number of links and finalists the GSPCA was heavily mentioned and highlighted at these amazing awards.

Last week Andrew the Jersey Grey Seal Pup was rescued and transported to the GSPCA.
At only 17kgs and less than a week old this very pretty young seal pup should have still been with his mum and not in the emaciated condition as he was found.
Andrew has a very bad chest infection and desperately underweight and has been receiving care around the clock day and night.
