Submitted by Steve on 15:20, 20th May, 2016 | 0

A week Monday during the half term why not pop to the GSPCA for a guided tour to see the hundreds of animals in our care.

Every Spring we help hundreds of baby birds, hedgehogs and many more wild animals and birds.

We are arranging the guided tours on a series of dates at 2pm.

We ask for a minimum donation of £5 per person and £3 per child, or £15 for a family of four.  Later in the year we have some themed tours which are £15 per child.

We would like to thank all those that have already helped donate and shop at our Charity Shop on site at the GSPCA.

BREAKING NEWS - Olivia the Loggerhead Turtle has started eating on her own & her appeal continues to help her

Submitted by Steve on 11:05, 18th May, 2016 | 0

Last night Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager and a number of visitors went to turn Olivia the Loggerhead Turtles lights off and witnessed an extraordinary event.

When she was first rescued she was extremely close to death and barely breathing or moving. Over the last two months the GSPCA have been working hard to care for her but sadly she has refused to eat meaning that the team have had to feed her directly.

She continues to swim well and we  continue to appeal for funding and transportation to get her to the Canary Islands.
