Hoglets doing well at the GSPCA - could you sponsor these cute baby hedgehogs

Submitted by Steve on 19:10, 15th May, 2015 | 0

One week on and our 3 hoglets are doing well.

Widge, Midge and Fidge were rescued last week after being found with no mother in sight last Friday.

Ambulance Collection Officer Geoff George attended the scene in Torteval where they were found all alone in a shed.

The baby hedgehogs or hoglets as they are called were rushed to the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews where they were fed and rushed into an intensive care unit.

We are pleased to report the baby hoglets have been fed around the clock and are doing extremely well.

Jubilee an injured stray cat at the GSPCA needs your help

Submitted by Steve on 10:54, 12th May, 2015 | 0

On Friday of last week 'Jubilee' as we have named him, a stray sick cat was rescued from the Castel area.

Jubilee was caught by a member of public near Castel Hospital and has a nasty left eye injury and a few other health problems.

On Friday he was rushed up to the vets and is currently on a series of treatments.

We have estimated Jubilee to be around 3 years of age and is an entire male, semi long haired black and white cat with no microchip.

We are appealing for the owner to come forward but it is likely he has been a stray for some time.
