March last year we had none at the Shelter looking for homes but this year we have 14 currently in our care.

All 14 are males and two are awaiting their homes, which are Cassiopeia and Alfie.

The 12 currently in need of a loving new owner are Yertle, Terrific Whatzit, Raphael, Mudface, Morla, Moriarty, Michelangelo, Mack, Filimore, Filigree, Donatello and Alderman Ptolemy.

Durand was found as a scabby stray cat and is now happy, well and loving his new home

Submitted by Steve on 17:50, 27th Feb, 2018 | 0

Last year the GSPCA helped a poorly, nervous stray cat that was covered in scabs.

As no owner could be found Durand as he was named was cared for and treated by the team at the GSPCA.

Durand was quite nervous when he first arrived but with a lot of TLC and vet treatment he improved daily.

Last month Durand finally found his forever home and we have recently had a message from new owners Lewis and Laura to hear how well he is doing.
