Golden oldie Abigail the cat is now in her new home

Submitted by GSPCA on 16:27, 11th Feb, 2013 | 0

At nearly 13 years of age and arrived at the Shelter last June we are pleased to announce that Abigail is now in a new home.

Abigail who was one of the older cats at the Shelter and certainly a staff favorite went to her new home on Saturday.

At the GSPCA we see animals of all sizes and ages but unfortunately the older animals  are often over looked for the youngsters.  At the Shelter we currently have a number of  older cats looking for that loving retirement home.

Gillette the Oiled Razorbill rescued in Alderney now at the GSPCA Animal Shelter

Submitted by GSPCA on 13:54, 8th Feb, 2013 | 0

After a call yesterday and a flight this morning the GSPCA received a Razorbill from Alderney which has been affected by crude oil.

Staff at Alderney Animal Welfare have cared for the bird over the last few days and done a wonderful job removing the crude oil from the its feathers after being found on the coast of Alderney. If it hadn't been for their staff this bird would certainly have perished.
