Guernsey Animal Aid is based at the Tudor Lodge Deer Farm in Guernsey. We are run by a group of hard working volunteers. We are a completely non-profit organisation and receive no states funding so we rely wholy on the generosity of people like you. The standing orders we receive enable us to to continue helping animals in need. We offer a 24/7 hour call out service and never turn an animal away. We operate a non-destruct policy, we would never put an animal down unless advised it would be best to do so by a vet.
Location
We are situated on Forest Road, a few yards up from Forest Road Garage and near the Chene traffic lights. For a map please click here.
A Brief History
Guernsey Animal Aid was founded in 1998 by Sue Vidamour as an answer to the feral cat problem in Guernsey. The cats were interbreeding and this led to a lot of pain and suffering for them. Prior to this Sue had been rehoming horses and dogs for 6 years. In 1998 there were many feral cat colonies on the island so Sue held a meeting about the problem and Guernsey Animal Aid was formed.
Since this first meeting over 700 feral cats have been neutered or spayed and the kittens re-homed. Now thanks to the efforts of Sue and the rest of the Guernsey Animal Aid gang, feral cats are a shrinking problem
We have links all over the U.K. with sanctuaries such as Bath RSPCA cats and dogs home, Bolton RSPCA, Sheffield, Red Wings Horse Sanctuary, Bristol Horse Sanctuary and Mill House Animal Sanctuary etc. Due to the small amount of land we have, these links enable us to send animals on to England so that we can continue to rescue and help more animals in Guernsey. The sanctuaries in England then either find homes for the animals or keep them to live out the rest of their days happily.
Guernsey Animal Aid rely wholy on kind donations from the public to keep us going. We are very greatfull to our regular direct debit donors. If you woul like to make a donation please click on the 'Donate' link above. Alternatively you can send a donation in the post or pop up to see us at the farm.
For the past two years we have been providing an animal transportation service for people moving to or from the island. For more information on this please see our services page.
How YOU can help
Help is always needed. If you have any spare time why not come up and help us. There are loads of jobs that need doing. Every day there is cleaning out to do and the animals need to be fed and given fresh water. If you do not have enough time for this, or this doesn't sound like your thing there are plenty of other areas to get involved in such as
If you can help in any of these areas please contact us, you can find our details on the contact us page.
If you can not spare any time then perhaps you could donate to us instead. You could either make a one off donation or fill in a standing order form to help give us a regular income, even if it is just a few pounds a month. To donate either way please click on the Donate link!
Another way to help would be to leave a legacy. 100% of the money we receive goes directly on the animals.
