The GSPCA currently has a number of Dragons and Doves in need of loving new homes.

Durand was found as a scabby stray cat and is now happy, well and loving his new home

Submitted by Steve on 17:50, 27th Feb, 2018 | 0

Last year the GSPCA helped a poorly, nervous stray cat that was covered in scabs.

As no owner could be found Durand as he was named was cared for and treated by the team at the GSPCA.

Durand was quite nervous when he first arrived but with a lot of TLC and vet treatment he improved daily.

Last month Durand finally found his forever home and we have recently had a message from new owners Lewis and Laura to hear how well he is doing.
