The GSPCA rehomes hundreds of cats every year and help thousands more.

Sadly many of the strays and those no longer being able to be cared for by their owners come in with health problems.

Currently we have two stunning cats in need of operations.

Trio who has gone through a number of medical treatments and a very difficult start to her 2 years of life has half a back right leg which needs operating on further.

She is one of the teams favourites but before we can rehome her we have to ensure she ready and healthy.

Microchip training expand the GSPCA teams ability to chip animals in Guernsey thanks to Avid

Submitted by Steve on 18:58, 19th Mar, 2014 | 0

Yesterday the GSPCA team saw a flying visitor from Avid one of the microchip companies from the UK.

This was to train new staff for microchipping and to refresh those already with the skills to perform the implantation.

With only 40 to 45% of stray dogs and cats that arrive at the GSPCA being chipped, microchipping your pet gives them the best chance of being identified and returned to you quickly if they become lost or stolen.

Dillon the cats memory lives on at the GSPCA & Guernsey Animal Aid Cats

Submitted by Steve on 16:31, 7th Mar, 2014 | 0

The death of Dillon the cat hit many islanders very hard as he was a friend to many that frequent St Peter Port.

He spent much of his time Paint and Sons' Jewelers and the staff there have received many cards and donations in loving memory of the wonderful 5 year old feline.

It is believed during the awful recent weather and high tides that Dillon may have been taken by the waves as they crashed over the walls along the front of St Peter Port.
