From work experience to Duke of Edinburgh, dog walking to reception, cat pen cleaning to helping with the wildlife, fund raising to volunteering to gain experience for their CV all of the group were looking to help the work of the Animal Shelter and some to help gain life skills.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager greeted the group and gave a presentation and talk about the work we carry out 24 hours 7 days a week, the differing volunteer roles and how to work safely at the GSPCA Shelter and our events.

Little Man & Tobias now Leo and Archie the ferrets find a loving home in Alderney

Submitted by Steve on 12:26, 26th Mar, 2015 | 0

At the GSPCA we now see over 40 ferrets coming into our care each year.

Most come in as strays and many are here for many months as we find it hard to find them loving new homes.

We were overjoyed last week when we had an enquiry from Alderney offering a home to ferrets.

With nearly 10 in our care the gentleman popped over to visit those in our care and Little Man and Tobias took his fancy.

Both ferrets made the journey with their new owner and we have just heard that they are settling well.

Please send us your stamps! We can raise money from both British and overseas stamps

Submitted by Steve on 18:35, 25th Mar, 2015 | 0

Millions of people, young and old, are stamp collectors (philatelists), and philately is an educational and fun hobby.

Couple this with helping animals in Guernsey, keeping stamps out of landfill and instead recycling stamps to collectors.

At the GSPCA we collect used postage stamps to raise money for the many animals we rescue, help and care for.

Stray cat Rubis isn't over the worst yet and needs your help

Submitted by Steve on 09:33, 25th Mar, 2015 | 0

Last month Rubis an entire black and white stray cat was handed into the GSPCA.

Full of cuts and bites this very affectionate cat that had no chip or collar came in with a number of injuries.

Inline with the 2012 legislation every stray animal including cats have to be held for 21 days whilst we try and find their owner.

Sadly with no microchip, collar or anyone coming forward for Rubis he hasn't been claimed.

During his time at the Shelter we have found that Rubis with his lovely friendly nature and his wounds now healed has other health issues.

Another happy forever home for a GSPCA cat.

Almost 2 months ago Bronx a tabby male cat was brought into the GSPCA with no microchip and no owner found.

After his 21 days at the GSPCA in line with the new Animal Welfare Law, an assessment, vet treatment and checks the lovely friendly cat found a new home.

Bronx who is now called 'Hugo' is doing very well and his new owners informed us today with the following words  "We thought you would like to know that Hugo who was Bronx has settled in well to his new home. "
