Earl the Quail has been helping us to celebrate #GSPCAPurpleWeek
He is a wonderful male Japanese Quail but we would love to find him anew home despite being one of our longest ever residents as he arrived as a stray in January 2019.

The #GSPCAPurpleWeek is all about celebrating 149 years of the GSPCA.
Our mission back then remains as strong today in being –
The fourth point and embedded in all we do in caring and education and a key part of this is the next generation.
This week has been a busy week for oiled birds due to the stormy weather.
This week despite the GSPCA celebrating 149 years and #GSPCAPurpleWeek the high winds and rough seas have caused many sick, injured and even oiled sea birds.

Once again the Bailiwick has high winds and weather that puts our animals and wildlife at risk.
Often during the winter months with the high winds and stormy weather makes it difficult for wild animals and birds to feed and rest.
With the high winds we have to ensure our pets and animals kept outside are safe and secure.
Once again GSPCA are asking those that live around and visit our coast to please watch out for injured animals in need as well as seal pups which can get separated from their mothers at this time of year especially when we see bad weather.
On 11th February, 1873, a meeting was convened in the rooms of the Societe Guernesiaise “for the purpose of considering the expediency of establishing in the Island a Societe for the suppression of Cruelty to Animals” and the Dean of Guernsey was called to the Chair. The Patron of the Society was His Excellency Lt. General Froome.
A Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was thus established on the 14th February 1873 and became known as the GSPCA.
Today is the first day of #GSPCAPurpleWeek.
On Monday the GSPCA celebrate 149 years helping animals and supporting our community and we want you to help celebrate and support our vital 24/7 work.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Every February we celebrate our anniversary with #GSPCAPurpleWeek to celebrate our anniversary of being founded.”
“From making a donation to fund raising there are lots of ways to support our work.”
During #GSPCAPurpleWeek GSPCA Training and Community Officer headed to Seesaw PreSchool to meet the children, talk about our work at the Animal Shelter and was presented with something very special.
Tim said “I had a lovely time at Seesaw PreSchool in St Johns Church Hall meeting the children, talking about the work of the GSPCA and receiving a very special card.”
Today the GSPCA celebrates 147 years since the day we were founded.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manage said “On the 14th February 1873 a group of concerned islanders identified there was a need to prevent animal cruelty and promote kindness and this gave birth to the GSPCA.”
