GSPCA Urges Public to Provide Fresh Water for Hedgehogs and Wild Birds During Hot, Dry Weather

Submitted by Steve on 11:42, 1st Aug, 2025 | 0

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.

HELP - GSPCA looking for missing cat traps and can you help donate for new ones

Submitted by Steve on 15:47, 18th Jul, 2025 | 0

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.
