You may remember Catrina the stray cat who was rescued collapsed, soaking wet, starving and with no hair or skin on her tail last week.
Catrina was in such a poor state she has had to stay at the vets where she has received intensive, around the clock care.
It is highly likely she was hit by a vehicle although had a number of other health issues when she was found.
She has been growing stronger each day but she will need an operation on her pelvis which with her care is going to cost nearly a £1000.
From all the GSPCA we wish a Happy Valentines to one and all and did you know we share this day of love as the GSPCA celebrates 144 years helping animals in Guernsey and we need your help.
The GSPCA was founded on the 14th February 1873 and we are asking for your support to help the 24/7 work we carry out here at the GSPCA.
Not only do we care for around 350 animals a day at the Shelter we have many essential projects we need to achieve and many animals to care for.
This week it is not only our 144th anniversary and GSPCA Purple Week, we are also lucky enough to be nominated for the green token Community Matters box at the Waitrose stores in Admiral Park and the Rohais.
By placing a token in the Community Matters box at your local branch you’re helping your community and if you choose the slot for the GSPCA helping animals in Guernsey.
For the last 8 weeks the GSPCA have been caring for Sami the grey seal pup who was rescued sick and extremely thin at the end of December in Jersey.
We are pleased to report that Sami is growing stronger each day and eating fish extremely well.
Sami is still a long way off being ready to be released back to the wild and we are appealing for your support to help feed Sami.
Geoff George GSPCA Animal Collection Officer and head carer of marine mammals said "We are so pleased how Sami is doing and especially how well Sami is eating."
Last year an 18 year old cat called Lucy was brought into the GSPCA as sadly her owner could no longer care for her.
As all rescues will know trying to find the older cat a new home is extremely difficult as most are looking to adopt kittens or young cats.
On Saturday the GSPCA team were overjoyed when after 9 months of care at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews Lucy finally found her forever home and this week we have had an update on how she is getting along....
The GSPCA are currently looking for additional staff members to help with our increasingly busy front desk and develop our charity shop area.
Also we are also looking for an additional casual animal care assistant to help meet the needs of the Shelter.
We have extended the closing date for this post until Tuesday 21st February.
All roles are to help cover 7 days a week and especially on weekends and bank holidays when the GSPCA is often extremely busy.
Tonight the winners will be announced for the Guernsey Awards for Achievement Specsavers Unsung Hero as well as many other awards.
We are all very excitied as one of our longest serving members of staff is a finalist for the Guernsey Awards for Achievement Specsavers Unsung Hero.
For over 20 years Geoff George has been a massive part of the GSPCA and at the heart of much of the work we carry out 24/7.
This month the GSPCA celebrates 144 years helping animals in Guernsey and we need your help.
We have many essential projects we need to achieve and many animals to care for.
With well over 300 animals in our care at any time and a Shelter where we have been based since 1929, each day raising the much needed funds to care for the animals and maintaining the buildings and grounds is a daily challenge.
Every year we help in excess of 3000 animals through our doors not to mention countless more that every day we help by investigating cruelty and going out 24/7 to rescue and reunite with their owners or free back to the wild.
Of all domestic species we help more cats than any other with over 1000 cats that are stray, hit by vehicles, unwanted, cruelty cases or being brought in as their owners can no longer care for them.
