Razy the Razorbill is doing well and on the mend. Nearly a week since he arrived he’s getting daily physio on one of our rehabilitation pools and we are hopeful he will be ready for release back to the wild soon.

We get all sorts of wildlife in and today we had an injured razorbill. With the windy, wet and cold weather wild animals and birds often find it difficult to feed and Razy our razorbill is just one of those cases.
On a diet of fish being kept in a thermostatically controlled hospital cage Razy is doing well and we are hopeful will make a full recovery and be able to be released back to the wild very soon.

With winter and cold weather with us and potential snow on the way the GSPCA want pet owners and the public to consider all the animals of Guernsey. During a cold snap the GSPCA are on full alert, ready to deal with a variety of animals affected by the cold weather.
But you can also do your bit to prevent animals suffering over the cold period.
DO you have a pond?

This weekend we welcomed Islanders to our first of the two planned guided tour events. The sun was shining and the three tours were received extremely well.
The visitors were walked around the Shelter being shown the facilities and getting close to the 200 resident animals and birds.
The tour started in the newly refurbished wildlife unit and went to each of the Shelters departments meeting staff and volunteers whilst finding out what we do and our plans for the future.

Yesterday the GSPCA welcomed the BBC Countryfile team.
We can’t say much as we want to keep what happens as a surprise for the programme. What you will see is Ellie Harrison the BBC presenter following our Animal Collection Officer Geoff George as well as scenes at the Animal Shelter Wildlife Unit with our new Animal Care Assistants Eddie Higgins and Annie Janes.
The Shelter staff enjoyed working with the film crew and production team. The GSPCA were very proud showing them the work we do for Guernsey’s wildlife and facilities we have.

The start of 2012 has already brought the Animal Shelter a number of sick and injured animals & birds from around the island but with the continuation of the windy weather we are asking everyone to keep a good look out.
The bad weather means it is difficult for hedgehogs and birds to feed normally and the young seal pups can easily be separated from their mothers.

The Animal Shelter is now at the fore front of animal rescue and rehabilitation.
