Submitted by Steve on 20:39, 17th Oct, 2016 | 0

This weekend our two bearded dragons Pablo and Picasoo were waved off to their forever homes.

The pair of lizards found themselves at the GSPCA as their owners could no longer care for them.

Thankfully they only arrived a couple of weeks ago and the team at the GSPCA were pleased to find them a forever home so quickly.

Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant said "We've had a busy few months with stray and unwanted reptiles and it often takes months to find them new homes."

Submitted by Steve on 20:10, 17th Oct, 2016 | 0

The team at the GSPCA are overjoyed to report that on Saturday Bob the diabetic cat was waved off by staff and volunteers to his forever home.

Nearly a year ago Bob was found as a very poorly grumpy stray cat which we never found his original owner.

It wasn't long before he was diagnosed with diabetes and after some time and a lot of tests both his health and temperament improved greatly during his time at the Animal Shelter.

Budget response concerning tax relief on charitable donations from the Association of Guernsey Charities

Submitted by Steve on 14:32, 6th Oct, 2016 | 0

The Policy and Resources Committee decision not to introduce Gift Aid and Payroll Giving in the 2017 budget, following the review promised at the end of 2015 has been met with dismay by the Association of Guernsey Charities, which has been calling for change since April 2013.

Peter Rose, AGC Chairman, has indicated “this is clearly a slap in the face for local charities, and undoubtedly conflicts with the terms of the Social Compact between the States of Guernsey and the Charity sector, signed only two years ago.”

A conger eel not a baby seal but here is advice on what to do if you see a sick seal pup from the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 15:24, 5th Oct, 2016 | 0

Every Autumn the shores of the Bailiwick see grey seal pups being born, and the GSPCA are issuing advice today to help prepare islanders and those walking our shores.

On the weekend we were called out to what was thought to be an injured seal pup, but instead of finding a seal our Ambulance Volunteer Warden Suzy Rose was sadly faced with a dead conger eel that had been washed up.

It was reported locally in the media that we had rescued and were caring for a seal pup at the GSPCA, although this is not true as the conger eel that we were called out to had passed away.

The GSPCA are reminding dog walkers that once again from tomorrow you can take your canine friend on the beaches around Guernsey.

With the restrictions lifted the GSPCA would like to remind pet owners to be mindful of the Wildlife that live and feed along the shorelines.

Here is a breakdown of the restrictions which have been lifted as of the 1st October until the 30th April.

Bob the diabetic cat has an update on his insulin levels - Could you offer him a home or donate to his care

Submitted by Steve on 16:22, 29th Sep, 2016 | 0

Have you met our lovely Bob yet?

Bob came in as a very grumpy, sick stray cat last year but we quickly found he was only grumpy as he wasn't well.

After a series of tests with help from the vets we found Bob was diabetic and had to go on a special diet and insulin injections twice a day.

A year later and he is much improved and this week his medication was reduced as he is so stable.

Very sick stray cat from Les Banques spends 3 days on a drip -are you missing a very ill old cat or could you donate to her care

Submitted by Steve on 10:40, 29th Sep, 2016 | 0

On Sunday a very poorly, sick, thin cat was rushed to the vets and has been on a drip for the last 3 days.

The old stray cat was found near Les Banques and has had a number of health issues and sadly no microchip.

The condition the cat was found in meant it would have likely not made a recovery if it hadn't have been taken to the vets when it was found.

The team have called the cat Mercedes who is a black and white female of an age estimated over 10 years.

We have been checking lost and found reports but we have not yet found any matches.
