Can you help us help Kenya our longest stay cat find that forever home?

Submitted by Steve on 18:13, 20th Jan, 2015 | 0

Kenya has been with us since the 10th July 2013 and is now our longest stay cat in need of a home as we recently rehomed Mitzi.

Kenya originally was a very nervous cat when he first arrived at the GSPCA and did not always show himself well to people he didn't know.

Kenya now has got to know quite a few different people, which has made his confidence blossom and helped him realise that there are lots of nice people in the world.

Kenya needs a quiet home only as an only pet and is also not good with children (he still finds them very scary).

Watch out for oiled birds on our coast - Frank the first oiled Guillemot of 2015

Submitted by Steve on 17:54, 16th Jan, 2015 | 0

With all of the rough weather the first oiled sea bird arrived at the GSPCA yesterday.

Last year tens of thousands of sea birds were oiled and killed due to the sustained bad weather.

Thankfully a number of the birds last winter were rescued and successfully rehabilitated and released back to the wild thanks to the team at the GSPCA.

Frank as the guillemot has been named was found near the Fairy Rink in Pleinmont.

He has survived his first night and is currently in an intensive care unit and although quite weak the team are hopeful.

Could you help Nala find that forever home?

Submitted by Steve on 16:02, 16th Jan, 2015 | 0

Nala is a 7 year old cat in need of a home and has been at the GSPCA for nearly a year.

She is a friendly girl who is in need of a quiet home as an only pet.

Nala has Arthritis, so she is currently on EaseFlex and Metacam for this. Due to her condition Nala needs a home with no young children as it can cause her pain to be be handled, especially if she is picked up. However Nala loves to play with her knitted mice, they are her favourite toys.

She loves being made a fuss of and is a very affectionate cat.

The search for Bertie the stray schnauzer - please share and watch for him in the L'Ancresse & Bordeaux area

Submitted by Steve on 16:37, 13th Jan, 2015 | 0

The search of Bertie continues 2 months since he first went missing due to fireworks early November.

The main areas of possible sightings recently have been around L'Ancresse & Bordeaux.

If you do see him or a dog like him please note the time and try to get a photo or video if possible.

Wildlife cameras have been placed in strategic positions in the hope we can pin point his location.

We would like to highlight that Bertie is a very timid little lad especially with men and people he doesn't know.

Please help us find this Jack Russells owner - Could she belong to your neighbour?

Submitted by Steve on 11:03, 13th Jan, 2015 | 0

Last Wednesday a female Jack Russell was found near the Performing Arts Centre in St Peter Port.

The white and tan, adult, female Jack Russell has no microchip and a purple collar with no details.

At the GSPCA we often see around 200 stray dogs a year, but it is very rare for a dog to be at the Shelter for more than 24 hours before we track the owner.

We have been out in the area trying to find her owner, sadly without success.

We have been sharing her information on social media, speaking to the police and other bodies in the hope of finding where she lives.

Mitzi the longest stay cat starts the New Year in her new home

Submitted by Steve on 16:56, 12th Jan, 2015 | 0

Mitzi the cat arrived at the GSPCA on the 10th April 2013.

Sadly due to her getting a bit grumpy every so often finding her a home proved very difficult.

Over the New Year a potential new owner came forward showing an interest and on Saturday Mitzi left for her forever home.

Anna Paint Senior Animal Care assistant said "It is always mixed emotions when one of our cats go to their new homes as we do get attached to them, although it is a great feeling when they do leave for their new home."

On Wednesday afternoon we received a stray female Jack Russell which was found near the Performing Arts Centre in St Peter Port.

Unfortunately she is not microchipped and has no tag with details to be able to locate the owner.

She is quite timid and nervous until you get to know her and has a collar.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We are asking for help to find the owner of a stray female Jack Russell Terrier that was found near the Performing Arts Centre in St Peter Port on Wednesday."
