On Friday as the hours of darkness descended the GSPCA were called out to rescue a stray we don't see every day.

Animal Collection Officer Geoff George responded to the call from The Yacht Inn in St Peter Port.  As he started looking for the stray animal he found himself outside listening to locate the animal in need.

Geoff closed in to the tweeting and managed to catch what was a young female zebra finch.

Christmas Wishes from the GSPCA - Could your shop display a GSPCA Wish List Star on items needed at the Shelter?

24 hours a day, 7 days a week staff and volunteers work around the clock at the GSPCA to ensure the animals are cared for and those in need can be rescued around Guernsey.

One of the wonderful additions that has benefited many animals at the Shelter has been our Wish List which we have both on our website and a link to an Amazon Wish List.

Since launching our Amazon Wish List in October 2012 nearly every week we have had wonderful donations from honey for the hedgehogs to heat lamps to keep those ill nice and warm.

Despite the cold snap some of our wildlife and animals have continued to produce young here in Guernsey.

Only yesterday we were called to rescue two young pigeons which are now safe and warm in an Intensive Care Unit which was thanks to the Channel Island Christmas Lottery last year.

Also in the last month we have had two tortie and white kittens who have been called Sparkle and Glitter (we currently have a waiting list for homes looking for kittens) and a duckling which has been called Quack Quack.
