Guernsey

Last Friday and Saturday the GSPCA manned a stall at the first of the summer shows in St Martins.

With Friday proving quite challenging with wet weather and Saturday in the sun the team enjoyed the two days fund raising at the wonderful local event.

With plenty of games and shelter under the two gazebos from the rain and sun the stall proved very popular and raised a grand total of £423.29p.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We had a great time at the South Show last week and even with the wet Friday we were kept very busy."

Yesterday at the GSPCA we welcomed a group of 7 Lloyds Banking Group staff at the Shelter and our stall at the West Show.

At the GSPCA we currently have 3 cats in need of support.

You may have heard the story of Popeye the cat.  Sadly Popeye has a very poorly eye that requires additional investigations and an operation.  He came in with a cat called Grayson after their owner sadly passed away.  We would love to rehome them together, but before we can we need to get Popeye fit and well.

Once again we will be holding a Giant Animal Mascot Race during our Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday on the 14th September, but this year there are a few twists.

During the last week of August at the GSPCA we will be running a series of open days and guided tours.

These kick off from the Bank Holiday Monday the 25th August.

During the week between 9am and 5pm we will have bric-a-brac to new goods on sale, also refreshments including hot drinks.

When you arrive you will also be able to see some of the animals looking for good homes in our aviary and on Bunny Hop Hill.

At the GSPCA in Guernsey we help rescue, rehome, reunite and rehabilitate more cats than any other species of domestic animals.

Today on World Cat Day we are appealing for donations for a very poorly cat.

Popeye is a one eyed feline that needs a great deal of treatment on his right eye before he can find that forever home.

Popeye is a young male cat that has come into the GSPCA with another cat called Greyson as sadly his owner passed away.

Mexican BINGO Fiesta at the Market Bistro inside the Market Building, St Peter Port Tuesday 16th September 2014

Last night at the Market Bistro the GSPCA held its first Bingo Night.

The Pie & Mash Bingo Bash as it was called took place within the inner market building where the Market Bistro and their team catered, fed an watered the budding bingo players.

With over 60 in attendance the money raised was in aid of the GSPCA and helping animals in Guernsey.

For just £14.50 for adults and £10.50 for children the price included 8 games of bingo and at the interval a buffet style pie and mash.

Yesterday at the GSPCA we welcomed a group of 7 Lloyds Banking Group staff at the Shelter.

Today the GSPCA released Muriel the kestrel back to where she was found.

Muriel was rescued after being found in the middle of the road at L'Ancresse common unable to fly just over two weeks ago.

She was very thin and weak on entry and she spent the start of her stay in an intensive care unit.

She quickly gained weight and strength and for the last week has been in one of the Shelters soft release aviaries.
