At the GSPCA we are currently appealing for funds to help Lido a stunning, friendly cat who have a large growth in his ear that needs urgent removal.
The operation is not simple by any means and is estimated to cost between £1500 and £2000 and we are appealing for help.
Lido is almost 2 years old and is a silver Maine Coon which was brought in earlier this summer as the owner could no longer care for him.

Yesterday despite around the clock care Seal the Common Seal Pup sadly passed away at the GSPCA.
At only 7.2 kgs the emaciated pup with multiple health problems including seizures that was found at Chouet was so weak that the team were unable to save Seal and all are extremely saddened with the death of the poorly seal pup.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “All of the GSPCA team are devasted of the loss of Seal the common Seal Pup that was rescued at Chouet on Wednesday.”

Yesterday GSPCA Ambulance Officer and Head of Marine Mammals Geoff George was called out to rescue and help a very poorly marine mammal at Chouet.
Only weeks after releasing Temperance the Grey Seal Pup back to the wild we now have a Common Seal Pup in our intensive care room for sick and injured seal pups.
Common Seals are extremely rare in Guernsey waters and to see a pup is even more so unusual, which certainly helps explain the condition of this very poorly pup.
