For the third year in a row the GSPCA attended the West Show this week, and once again it was a great event.

With a very sunny Wednesday and Thursday a little wet in the morning the GSPCA team had a fantastic two days raising funds, talking to those interested in volunteering and also many interested in adopting animals from the Shelter.

A giant elephant helped on the Wednesday and Bernard the GSPCA Mascot turned up on the Thursday to entertain the passers by.

South Show showers and sunshine fun

Submitted by Steve on 12:46, 14th Aug, 2014 | 0

Last Friday and Saturday the GSPCA manned a stall at the first of the summer shows in St Martins.

With Friday proving quite challenging with wet weather and Saturday in the sun the team enjoyed the two days fund raising at the wonderful local event.

With plenty of games and shelter under the two gazebos from the rain and sun the stall proved very popular and raised a grand total of £423.29p.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We had a great time at the South Show last week and even with the wet Friday we were kept very busy."

Appeal to help 3 very special cats at the GSPCA with their operations - Tortoga, Morgan & Popeye need your help

Submitted by Steve on 17:12, 12th Aug, 2014 | 0

At the GSPCA we currently have 3 cats in need of support.

You may have heard the story of Popeye the cat.  Sadly Popeye has a very poorly eye that requires additional investigations and an operation.  He came in with a cat called Grayson after their owner sadly passed away.  We would love to rehome them together, but before we can we need to get Popeye fit and well.
