Appeal to help with our broken sewage pump

Submitted by Steve on 09:43, 1st Apr, 2015 | 0

At the GSPCA with 200 to 300 animals in our care which do produce rather a lot of waste and we are continually working to improve and maintain our facilities.

Currently we are replacing 5 of our very old buildings with our new multi purpose animal welfare building, but we continue to have to repair and maintain the site where the many animals are kept and the services to them.

On the weekend our sewage pump failed which serves the many buildings on site and we are currently appealing for funds to help us repair this essential service.

A very sad day at the GSPCA - Rest in Peace Rubis we will all miss you

Submitted by Steve on 19:54, 27th Mar, 2015 | 0

Today staff and volunteers have had to face one of the hardest times when rescueing and saving animals.

Rubis the stray cat that arrived a month ago and who has had multiple health problems was rushed to the vets for a second time in a week.

Sadly due to his health issues and rapidly deteriating condition we were unable to help him, and after exploring all options one of the hardest decisions that can be made in animal rescue with the vet meant that this adorable cat had to be put to sleep.
