On the 26th we have a stall planned for the Taste Seafront Sunday and also an Open Garden event at L'Etiennerie Farm and we are appealing for help for both so we can run both events.

The stall in town we will be setting up from 8am for a 10am start and pack up around 5pm for their second Seafront Sunday of 2016.

If you can help at the Open Garden we are looking for volunteers between 12pm and 5.30pm.

Archimedes a baby Barn Owl rescued close to death last week and now eating on his own at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 23:46, 8th Jun, 2016 | 0

Last week one of the GSPCA Volunteer Night Wardens were called out to rescue a very sick, weak and starving baby barn owl in St Peter Port.

The young bird was severely thin and very close to loosing his life and was found near to Candie Gardens very early on Thursday morning.

Thankfully with the skills of the team at the GSPCA and an intensive care unit the young bird has survived his first week and today started to eat on his own.

After a period inside we plan to transfer him to an outside aviary where he will learn to fly and forage for food.

Submitted by Steve on 22:29, 8th Jun, 2016 | 0

Today the GSPCA team have been very busy preparing and clearing areas for work to be carried out tomorrow.

We are hugely grateful to GFF Flooring who are donating and fitting flooring to our Hospital area and thanks to a grant from the Co-op Helping Hands they are also fitting a new floor in the ferret room both of which are desperately needed due to the aged floors they currently have.

With the lovely weather many of the animals have gone into outside cages and aviaries and others have gone into other sections of the GSPCA.
