On Wednesday evening just after 1130pm a black cat was caught in a cat trap in a property car park in St Peter Port.
The cat which had been seen many times in the area over a 2 month period appeared thin and extremely nervous and appeared to be living in the car park which raised concerns over whether it had an owner.
The GSPCA after some advice lent a trap to catch the cat and with 24 hours the cat was caught and brought up to the Shelter where the black feline has been named 'Tomsie'.

Over the next 4 weeks there is there is road resurfacing taking place on Route de la Croix au Bailiff, so entry by vehicle to the GSPCA is via the Rohais de Haut or Foulon direction.
We are sorry for any disruption and we are working with the States to minimise the inconvenience.
When visiting the GSPCA over the next month please do plan that it may take additional time due to the increased traffic in the lanes and please do take care.

Around Christmas time two of our wardens where called to a cat that had been hit by a car and collapsed but still alive
The little cat was rushed to Isabelle vets where once she had been examined it was found that she had totally de gloved her tail, had a serious fractured pelvis, some internal bleeding and was a very poorly cat indeed.
However this little girl who has been named Catrina was prepared to fight and had her tail amputated that night along with other veterinary care.
