Do you have historic pictures or videos of the GSPCA work to help us look back at 140 years history

Submitted by GSPCA on 16:07, 4th Jan, 2013 | 0

Next month the GSPCA will be celebrating 140 years caring for animals in Guernsey and we are appealing for pictures or video clips of the work during our 84 years at our current address or even the early 1900's or late 1800's that anyone that may have.

We have a very good record of our history back until the late 1920's but very few pictures.

Our records include annual reports back to 1929 and even a visitor book from the 1970's with some lovely signatories.

Jethou Bumblebee has been at the Shelter for just over 4 weeks and has really grown an appetite.

With 15 to 20 fish being swallowed a day he has put on an additional 10kg which is fantastic news as he was only 17kg on entry.

Staff at the Shelter have decided now to do the rehabilitation work at the GSPCA and we are appealing for donations of fish, especially herring and mackerel.

Geoff George ACO and the main carer for Jethou Bumblebee said 'I am so pleased with his progress.'
