The next few days the Bailiwick will see high winds and weather that puts our animals and wildlife at risk.
Often during the winter months with the high winds and stormy weather makes it difficult for wild animals and birds to feed and rest.
With the high winds we have to ensure our pets and animals kept outside are safe and secure.
The GSPCA are asking those that live around and visit our coast to please watch out for injured animals in need as well as seal pups which can get separated from their mothers at this time of year especially when we see bad weather.

The GSPCA is warning dog owners of the possible presence of a waxy substance along our coast line which could well be Palm Oil.
We have been informed of a sighting at Pembroke earlier today.
The public is advised not to remove the palm oil but anyone who has picked any up should double wrap it in plastic and dispose of it with their normal refuse.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We have had a report of a white oily substance being seen at Pembroke and we are asking all dog owners to be vigilant.”

At the GSPCA we help 1000’s of cats every year but the numbers looking for homes have been decreasing over the years.
This has meant from time to time we have space in our cat pens and when we are able we help charities which are members of the Association of Cats and Dogs Home (ADCH) which are based across the British Isles and Ireland.
On Friday 29th October 2021 the GSPCA helped 5 cats from the RSPCA in Wales which were in need.
