Tangle the Gull caught in fishing line - GSPCA ask please keep our beaches tidy

Submitted by Steve on 10:39, 16th Jul, 2014 | 0

Yesterday the GSPCA were called to an injured juvenile gull that had been caught in fishing line.

GSPCA staff had tried to catch the young gull on a number of occasions and yesterday GSPCA Warden Dave Brook managed to secure the disabled bird.

The bird which was rushed to the GSPCA Animal Shelter had fine fishing netting caught extremely tightly around the birds left leg to such a point it had cut into the skin, become swollen and lame.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager and GSPCA Warden Dave Brook spent nearly 30 minutes removing the netting and treating the bird.

Drum roll...... Mr Chips the diabetic cat finds his forever home

Submitted by Steve on 15:47, 14th Jul, 2014 | 0

Staff and volunteers at the GSPCA today have both been over joyed and also had a few tears as we waved Mr Chips the very famous cat at the Shelter off to his new home.

Mr Chips who has been at the Shelter since April last year has experienced many adventures whilst at the Shelter.

On entry he was very unstable with his diabetes which took many months to find the correct dosage of insulin and medicated diet.

Mr Chips has also experienced many school trips and tours meeting hundreds of children and adults who all fell in love with the stunning cat that he is.
