Guernsey

This weekend is the Guernsey Grammar School and Sixth Form Centre PTA Christmas Fayre.

With fun, games and food to get you in the Festive Spirit the GSPCA will be joining them with our own stall to raise funds for animals in Guernsey.

Festivities from 2-4 pm, with animal mascots, music, a raffle, Christmas goods, decorations, crafts and jewelry.

We look forward seeing you this Saturday 19th November 2016.

Last night the youngest and earliest grey seal pup at the GSPCA was rescued in Alderney.

Now named 'Poppy' she has made it through her first night and receiving further treatment with the GSPCA team and vet today.

She has been cared for through the night and we are doing all we can to ensure she survives.

On Thursday 5 staff from The Travel Corporation joined the team at the GSPCA which made a total of 10 staff last week helping from this wonderful and caring local company

This is the fourth time this year team members from The Travel Corporation have helped at the GSPCA and we also had many of their team assist us last year.

Every year at this time we remember the lost and fallen that have gone before us.

This morning a baby bunny has been rescued with a broken leg.

The young animal was found near Genats Estate in Castel and has just been to the vets to be seen what can be done to help this poor defenceless young rabbit.

GSPCA Ambulance Volunteer Warden Andrew Green rushed the injured bunny to the vets and thankfully despite his injury he has received initial treatment and has received treatments including pain relief.

The GSPCA are appealing for the owner to please call us on 257261 as soon as possible.

Stand Up for Guernsey's Environment - The GSPCA strongly supports the proposed amendments to Guernsey’s Policy and Resource Plan to help our environment.

The GSPCA helps 1000s of wild animals every year in our island and the environment provides enormous benefits to society over and above its intrinsic worth. At the GSPCA conservation and the natural world is at the heart of much of our work we carry out 24/7.

We are hugely grateful to a Co-op Helping Hands grant which helped enable us to also fit a new floor and new large runs in our ferret room at the GSPCA.

The floors were in desperate need of repair and we have been hoping to improve our facilities for our ferrets for many years.

Each year we help dozens of stray and unwanted ferrets and currently have 4 lovely ferrets in need of homes.

Two extremely sweet ferrets are Gizmo and Ghost (as pictured). They came in to as as their owners could sadly no longer care for them.

The GSPCA now have three styles of Christmas pin badge designs on sale.

If your office or shop could help with a counter box or collection tin we would love to hear from you.

We now have a Christmas robin, snowman and gingerbread man on sale for only £2.

The pin badges are set on a festive GSPCA card with a Christmas greeting and two designs having some Guernsey French on them.

Not only are they now on sale at the GSPCA  if your shop, business, school or office could sell in one of our counter box displays we would love to hear from you.

Yesterday 5 staff from The Travel Corporation joined the team at the GSPCA and gave up a day in the office to help out.

This is the third time this year team members from The Travel Corporation have helped at the GSPCA and we also had many of their team assist us last year.

Last month we had rescued what we thought was a stray stick insect found in the Villocq area of Castel.

We thought this to be the first stray stick insect we have had on record at the GSPCA and we put out an appeal for anyone who has lost their pet insect to get in touch.

As a result of the appeal we have had contact with those living in the area to say that over the last three years they have spotted the stick insects both in their garden and home of which the picture is one cheeky lady that was spotted in a bedroom in the Villocq area.
