Today was a momentous and emotional day for the GSPCA as the last two rescued grey seal pups, Swish and Wide Awake, were returned to the sea at Rocqaine Bay in Torteval following four months of intensive rehabilitation.

With Guernsey experiencing a spell of hot and dry weather, the GSPCA is urging islanders to lend a helping hand to local wildlife by putting out clean, fresh water for hedgehogs, birds, and other wild animals.
The lack of rainfall and soaring temperatures can make it extremely difficult for wildlife to find the water they need to survive. Small animals such as hedgehogs are particularly vulnerable during dry spells, as their usual water sources evaporate or dry up completely. Birds, too, can struggle to stay hydrated, especially fledglings and nesting adults.
The GSPCA is excited to announce the launch of our new online boarding booking system to make it easier than ever for pet owners to secure a place for their furry friends at our animal shelter in St Andrews, Guernsey.
Pet owners whose animals have previously boarded with the GSPCA can now book their pets in online by visiting:

The GSPCA would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and donated during our Flag Day at the Friquet Garden Centre on Saturday 26th July. Thanks to your incredible support, we raised £474 to help the many animals in our care.
From cheerful volunteers with collecting buckets to generous shoppers stopping by for a chat and a donation, the day was filled with community spirit and kindness. Every pound raised helps feed, shelter, and care for animals in need across Guernsey.
The GSPCA would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the organisers of the Torteval Scarecrow Festival for once again welcoming our team to take part in this wonderfully creative and much-loved community event.
Although we didn’t take home the top prize this year, we had a fantastic time creating our scarecrow ‘Fin- tastic friend from the GSP-Sea-A’ and being part of the fun. The festival is always a highlight in the summer calendar, bringing people together through laughter, imagination, and community spirit — and we’re honoured to be a part of it.
The 22nd Torteval Scarecrow Festival will be held this weekend on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th July 2025.
At the Torteval Parish Church you can walk the Scarecrow Trail (1½ hours approx) through some of Torteval’s delightful lanes.
Refreshments available throughout both days with licensed bar, entertainment and fete with various stalls.
This is the tenth year the GSPCA are taking part in this wonderful community event and we are hugely grateful to those at the home for the kind use of their front garden.
For many many many decades the GSPCA has been helping lost, found and feral cats around the Bailiwick of Guernsey.
In the 1990’s there were incredible numbers of feral cats but thanks to a huge amount of work by the GSPCA and also Guernsey Animal Aid when they operated the numbers are extremely low, but the GSPCA are regularly asked to help feral, lost and found cats.
Sadly a number of the GSPCA Cat Traps have gone missing or been damaged after many years of use and we are appealing for help to locate and fund replacements.
