Huge thanks to Pippa and Rasi entertaining the Sark Folk Festival and raising funds for the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 11:55, 28th Aug, 2019 | 0

The 3 day Sark Folk Festival was once again a great success and two very special young ladies did something very kind for the GSPCA and animals in our care.

9 year old Rasi Blondin and Pippa Smith busked over the 3 days with their violins and raised an amazing £145 to help animals in our care.

You may have seen these young ladies featured previously as they have used their fantastic talent at a number of events in the last year and from all at the GSPCA we cannot thank them enough.

On Friday after a month of care and rehabilitation at the GSPCA 'Taffy' the female adult Long Eared Owl that was rescued in Sark at the beginning of August was ready to return to the wild.

If you see kittens at Icart Point please let the GSPCA know

Submitted by GSPCA on 11:25, 10th Jul, 2013 | 1

This week we have received a young kitten that was rescued out at Icart Point.

The GSPCA are concerned that there may be others and if you are out in the area and come across any please get in touch with the Shelter.

Tiger as he has been named was found extremely thin, no mother in site and full of worms, fleas and may not have survived if he had not been rescued.

This time of year kittens are often rescued and brought into the GSPCA and just this morning another feral was rescued and brought in from the Bouet area who is now named Molly.
