Felix has now been at the GSPCA Animal Shelter since October 2011 and we want to start the New Year finding her that forever home.
She came in as a feral and unfortunately is still very nervous so would best suit a farm or stable yard home. At only 3 years of age she does get on well with other cats and we are asking for your help.
Even if you can't offer her a home if you could download a poster and display it or even spread the word of her needing a home from talking to friends to sharing on social networks such as facebook and twitter we would really appreciate it.

Recently we put out an appeal for volunteers to knit mice for the many cats we have at the Shelter as strays, looking for homes and also in for welfare reasons.
We had a fantastic response and within days handed out dozens of patterns and since received hundreds of mice that have been hand made and now entertain the cats and kittens we have at the Shelter.

Last month two of our kittens were rehomed to Alderney.
Jack and Jill were the first kittens to be born at the Shelter this year. They were born on the 12th February from a stray cat called Darwina who has had a number of health problems, but fortunately has raised two gorgeous kittens.
When Jack and Jill became available for adoption we placed them on our website and social networks. A lovely lady by the name of Patti Brett spotted them on our facebook page and got in touch.

The GSPCA since the launch of our special offer of £4.99p has microchipped over 100 dogs and cats. With nearly 1 in 2 stray cats and dogs that come into the Shelter have no form of ID the GSPCA launched an offer to try and ensure as many pets are chipped as possible.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'We are so pleased with the number we have chipped so far but there are tens of thousands of dogs and cats in Guernsey and if there are only half that are chipped we still have a long way to go.'
Below are some of the details, facts and figures released last month -
