Rescued kittens covered in fly strike now doing well at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 22:51, 6th Oct, 2015 | 0

On Thursday last week the GSPCA ambulance was called out to two very young kittens in desperate need.

The call came from Les Fauconnaires where two young kittens at only 4-5 weeks were found covered in fleas and fly strike with no mother in site.

The area was searched for any signs of other kittens and the two rescued were transported to the vets as they were cold and in need of veterinary care.

Thank you to all that supported our stall at all 8 Seafront Sundays including our BIG day

Submitted by Steve on 12:45, 3rd Oct, 2015 | 0

This year the GSPCA attended every Seafront Sunday with a stall.

To run the GSPCA and care for the 1000's of animals we help every year costs £2000 a day and we are always looking for ways to raise the much needed funds to care and rescue those in need.

Last Sunday was the last of the 8 Seafront Sundays and we would like to thank the organisors of the other 7 for allowing us to bring a stall to raise the funds and talk to the community and visitors about our work, how they can help and the animals in need of homes.
