Last night the GSPCA was called out to collect a stray rabbit.
Found in St Martins, the very friendly black with a little white, female adult lop eared rabbit was rescued after being found roaming the area.
Safe and sound at the GSPCA we are appealing for anyone that might have lost their hoppy little friend.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'She appears very friendly and very healthy so it is likely she has escaped out of someones garden as there will be many out in this lovely weather.'
'We get many stray rabbits in and care for over 100 every year.'
You may have heard about or seen Cinders the cat on the internet or local media.
She came in to the Shelter for rehoming but unfortunately had a number of issues with her health, teeth and gums.
Cinders had an initial opertation and has been on treatment for two months but unfortunately yesterday the brave decision had to be made to remove all but her 4 canines leaving her with a very gummy mouth.
Although never an easy decision, despite a series of treatments, it was decided to remove many of Cinders teeth as it was in her best interest.
The GSPCA would like to thank everyone that has been supporting our Tuesday bric-a-brac and coffee mornings as well as our open days.
So we can continue doing these at the Shelter and to help with other events we are appealing for additional bric-a-brac, games, books, clothes and other charity shop items to help raise funds to help rescue and care for animals in Guernsey.
Many of us are having a Spring clean so when you do yours please think of the Animal Shelter and how your unwanted items can make a difference to animals lives.
Monday 25th March to the 31st March 2013 is the second GSPCA Cupcake Week here in Guernsey.
Can you make/bake & sell cupcakes to raise money for the GSPCA? By doing so you would be helping many injured and abandoned animals.
Why not get baking, organise a cupcake sale or coffee morning, or if you're a business maybe sell some on the day and make a percentage to go the GSPCA.
The GSPCA has recently received a large number of calls from concerned members of public about horses and other animals in wet and muddy fields.
Unfortunately due to the very wet winter we have all had to endure here in Guernsey the GSPCA Welfare and Education Officer has had a number of animals that have been reported to the GSPCA.
Emma Trousdale GSPCA Welfare and Education Officer said ‘With such a wet winter many animals have been affected both wild and domestic.’
On Saturday the 9th March the GSPCA will be holding a bric-a-brac sale, coffee morning and guided tours due to demand.
A number of islanders have been asking that we hold a weekend event to enable them to have a look around and see the two seal pups through the one way glass before they are released back to the wild next month.
The day will start at 9.15am with the first tour being at 9.30am. We are asking for a minimum donation of £5 per person for the tour and we require at least one adult per 6 children.
(Pictured above Becky Duport, Emma Trousdale and Becky Chandler with the collection from 2012 which the GSPCA are extremely grateful for.)
Throughout March, Curves Guernsey will be supporting local charities by collecting food for the annual Curves Local Charity Drive! All food/toiletries collected will be donated to GSPCA, The Womens Refuge & the Guernsey Welfare Service.
Today Jethou Bumblebee and Hanois the two grey seal pups at the GSPCA Animal Shelter had their second dinner date and we are pleased to say once again they got on extremely well.
Both seal pups are putting on the pounds and we are hopeful they will be ready next month to be released.
We are still appealing for donations toward fish and their care and you can do this help online by following the paypal link below or calling 01481 257261. We thank all that have already supported both Jethou Bumblebee and Hanois so far.
