Guernsey

On the 22^nd August staff from RBS gave a morning and afternoon to help out at the GSPCA.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “The team at RBS are fantastic and last month we welcomed 4 volunteers helping out at the GSPCA.”

“The 4 volunteers helped caring for and cleaning out the animals to helping with maintenance and our memorial garden and we cannot  thank them enough.”

This year Guernsey has seen a grey squirrel jump out of the back of a van and a Madeiran lizard found in a suitcase.

Last Thursday a small reptile believed could be a tarentola mauritancia was found near Jefferies Garage.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We really do not know what we are going to have to help or arrive in Guernsey.”

“This year has been a real surprise from the grey squirrel, a Madeiran Lizard and last week we had another non indigenous animal brought in to us by a kind member of public.”

Dolphin Discovery Trail Auction – Final Countdown to Bid for a Dolphin!

In Aid of GSPCA and Autism Guernsey
Auction: Wednesday 17th September at the Peninsula Hotel

With just days to go until the Dolphin Discovery Trail Auction, excitement is building as islanders prepare to bid for one of the 62 beautifully decorated dolphins in aid of the GSPCA and Autism Guernsey.

Last Wednesday, the GSPCA proudly hosted a special Pet Loss Support training session for its dedicated team of staff, volunteers, and placements. The session, delivered by the Blue Cross, was attended by over 30 members of the GSPCA team and focused on how to compassionately support the thousands of islanders who experience the loss of a beloved pet each year.

A loggerhead sea turtle rescued in Guernsey following the devastating impact of Storm Ciarán in November 2023 is now preparing to return to the wild near the Azores, marking the end of an extraordinary journey of care, collaboration, and perseverance.

Affectionately named Barnacle Bill, the young female turtle was found washed ashore covered in barnacles and weighing less than 1kg. She was taken in by the Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA), becoming only the second loggerhead turtle ever recorded in Guernsey.

We have already had a number of bids on the 62 dolphins starting at £500 being emailed to [email protected].

This week thanks to the incredible staff at Artex all 61 Guernsey dolphins from the Dolphin Discovery Trail in aid of Autism Guernsey and GSPCA have been collected, with the final dolphin on route when the weather is fine from Herm.

The dolphins have been an incredible spectacle for islanders and visitors alike with over 1000 participants with the turfapp treasure hunt app.

The Dolphin Discovery Trail 2025, in aid of Autism Guernsey and the GSPCA, has officially wrapped up its treasure hunt, and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who took part! With over 1,000 users on the Turfhunt app, the trail has been a resounding success, bringing colour, creativity, and community spirit to Guernsey.

The GSPCA is launching an urgent appeal for funds and forever homes for four very special cats, including Spud, a brave young kitten who has overcome incredible odds and currently recovering from an operation at the vets from a blockage.

To donate to Spud who is at the vets and those in our care go to https://giving.gg/donate/charity/2/Guernsey-Society-for-the-Prevention-of-Cruelty-to-Animals-(GSPCA)
