Analysis of Services 2010

Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Inc.) Animals’ Shelter

The JSPCA Animals’ Shelter works closely with the Police and the States Veterinary Officer in investigating cases of alleged cruelty or mistreatment of animals. Members of the public are able to contact the Shelter for advice should they have any concerns about the welfare of an animal.

In 2010, excluding welfare concerns regarding agriculture/equine species, (the States Veterinary Officer is largely responsible for the investigation of cases involving these species), the overall number of reported welfare cases was similar to the previous year, although the number of concerns regarding dogs was slightly higher.

Of the total number of reported cases of concerns for the welfare of dogs, 43.2% involved barking dogs and appropriate advice was offered to the dog owners. Barking is a normal behaviour for dogs. However, barking can become a nuisance or can be disturbing for neighbours in particular. Problems with barking occur when it disturbs neighbours, frightens visitors or is keeping the owner of the dog awake at night. Usually the owner of the barking dog is completely unaware of this problem habit, as the barking may only occur when the owner has left the house. Further information about barking and helpful tips about how to resolve or decrease a barking problem can be found on the JSPCA website (www.jspca.org.je).

Through continued education and the dissemination of information by the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter about the importance of caring for and respecting domestic pets and wildlife it is hoped that there will be a significant improvement in the attitudes towards the treatment of animals, which, in turn, is fundamentally important in the prevention of cruelty to animals.

Since 2007, the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter has been working alongside the States of Jersey Housing Department offering advice to pet owners regarding various topics including health care and animal husbandry, ultimately aiming to improve the health and welfare of tenants’ pet animals. Home visits by a JSPCA Animals’ Shelter representative at the request of the States of Jersey Housing Department are undertaken for all new pet permit applications by States of Jersey Housing tenants. In 2010, 138 pet permit application home visits were performed by the JSPCA, a rise of 32.7% since 2009.

The JSPCA Animals’ Shelter has facilities to board both dogs and cats. It is proud to be able to offer what it considers are excellent boarding facilities. Both the Kennels and Cattery have been designed to minimise the risk and spread of disease, as much as is possible, with maximum comfort for the animal and hygiene in mind. Each animal has its own individual kennel with an outside run and boarding dogs are walked on-site on a daily basis. Every day each animal is given a hands-on health check.

The Animals’ Shelter also offers an “Emergency Boarding” Service for which a number of kennels are kept available where possible. This service offers boarding facilities for pets belonging to people who may experience a life-changing event.

Total number of boarding days spent at the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter by dogs and cats in 2010:

Although lower compared to previous years, possibly reflecting the continued economic down turn of 2009, there was a very small (0.77%) increase in the total number of days boarding by animals (dogs and cats) at the Animals’ Shelter in 2010 compared to 2009. However, in 2010, on average, 1057.8 cats and dogs were boarded at the Animals’ Shelter each month, which is equivalent to 34.7 animals per day.

The JSPCA Animals’ Shelter provides an animal ambulance service whereby trained staff are available to rescue injured animals, collect strays (except dogs which are still the responsibility of the Connetables) and assist the public in any way necessary, 24 hours a day.

In 2010 the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter’s driving staff completed 3599 journeys, which is the equivalent of 69 journeys per week. 30.5% of this total number of ambulance journeys were undertaken by the night ambulance drivers, as emergency calls outside of the normal Animals’ Shelter working hours, where as in 2009, 28.8% of the total number of journeys were performed by the out of hours ambulance team. The very busiest time of the year for the duty animal ambulance drivers still tends to be during the spring and summer months of May through to September, with the night ambulance driver being especially busy during that period.

The animal ambulances are co-ordinated by the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter reception staff who are usually the first point of contact for members of the public. In 2010, the receptionists answered 22967 telephone queries, a 3% increase in comparison to 2009. In addition to this total number of daytime telephone calls, 2084 calls were received by the night duty/out of hours animal ambulance driver in 2010.

Animals that attend the JSPCA Veterinary Clinic are animals being prepared for re-homing via the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter, the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter Foster animals and clients and their pets that are eligible for help via the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter Welfare clinic.

The JSPCA Animals’ Shelter Foster Scheme, is a scheme that offers reduced cost veterinary treatment to elderly animals re-homed from the Shelter or to animals the Shelter re-homes with on-going medical conditions, such as Diabetes Mellitus. This Scheme is beneficial in helping to increase the chances of older animals or animals with on-going medical problems of finding new homes.

In 2010, excluding the neutering of cats and dogs, surgical and other minor surgical procedures (including blood profiles, radiography and ECG), accounted for a total of 561 procedures, a 8.9% increase compared to 2009. 60.6% of these procedures undertaken on JSPCA animals (ie disclaimed animals or unclaimed strays being prepared for re-homing), 21.7% were carried out on JSPCA foster animals and 17.6% were performed on welfare clients’ animals, which is a similar distribution as in 2009. However, the number of entire cats presented to the JSPCA for re-homing and hence requiring neutering has increased by 73% compared to 2009 and the number of welfare clients requesting neutering of their cats has dropped by 20%. Neutering is a big responsibility that all cat, dog and rabbit owners must recognise, so as to ultimately help reduce the number of unwanted animals and pets; every year the JSPCA and other rescue organisations have to deal with many stray, feral (a cat that has reverted to a free-living state), or abandoned cats and kittens, which is a problem that could be reduced if more cat owners accepted their responsibilities and helped to prevent unwanted pregnancies by having their cats neutered as soon as possible. Cats in particular are very prolific breeders and by neutering pet cats it can help reduce the number of unwanted animals and kittens.

In 2010, dental procedures accounted for 30.8% of the ‘other surgical and minor surgical procedures’ undertaken on JSPCA animals, which is a similar proportion in comparison to 2009 (31.3%). 31.3% of the proportion of ‘other surgical and minor surgical procedures’ performed on welfare clients’ animals in 2010 was also dental work, which is a slight increase compared to 2009 (29.7%).

In 2010 compared to previous years, the number of welfare client appointments exceeded the number of foster animals seen at the JSPCA veterinary clinic visits and there was an 11.5% increase in the number of JSPCA Animals’ Shelter animal appointments.

On 26^th August 2008 the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter was pleased to announce the re-opening of the JSPCA Welfare Clinic, a much needed resource and form of support for pet owners who are in receipt of Income support. Since the re-opening of the Welfare clinic there has been a steady increase in the number of clients registering to attend the welfare clinic.

The number of missed clinic appointments (132) in 2010 compared to the previous year remains similar, where owners had scheduled appointments, yet not attended, without any cancellation or communication from the client. These missed appointments are frustrating, as another pet in need of veterinary attention could have taken the missed appointment slots.

The JSPCA respects and values the close bond that develops between owners and their pets. When a pet dies, it is important that the owner knows that their pet will be treated with care and dignity. The JSPCA provides the only pet cremation service on Jersey and maintains the Pet Cemetery at First Tower.

The number of cremations undertaken in 2010 is similar to 2009, with only a 1.4% increase in communal cremations, yet there was a small (1.5%) drop in the number of individual cremations performed in 2010 compared to the previous year.

EDUCATION

2010 has seen the continued production of high quality educational literature, which is readily available for members of the public to access. Information about a variety of animals and their correct, appropriate husbandry, in addition to information about topical issues such as feeding wild birds, housetraining house rabbits and facts about red squirrels is available to members of the public in the form of colour advice leaflets. These are obtainable from a dedicated stand in the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter reception area. This information about various animal related topics is also available on the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter Website (www.jspca.org.je), along with news from the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter and topical up to date news bulletins about animal related issues.

The JSPCA Animals’ Shelter endeavours to increase awareness to certain animal issues, for example, the dangers of leaving dogs in cars in hot weather, the hazards fireworks present to animals and highlighting the message of not giving pets as presents. These messages are promoted and highlighted through the production of relevant informative posters, copies of which are displayed at the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter and regularly distributed to the local veterinary practices, and through the production of regular press releases about these topical animal issues, which are circulated to the relevant media stations. All of the press releases are also made available to members of the public on the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter website.

Every year, MSP Publishing, in conjunction with the Jersey Evening Post, kindly produce a magazine, free of charge, for the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter, the material of which is all produced internally by the JSPCA’s veterinary surgeon. This magazine is subsequently distributed Island-wide within an edition of the JEP and provides the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter with an invaluable opportunity to emphasize the importance of caring for all animals, both domestic and wild.

The JSPCA Animals’ Shelter continues to liaise with individuals and schools, providing work experience placements for students. The Animals’ Shelter can offer placements for the Project Trident Scheme and the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, amongst others, as well as providing the opportunity for individuals to gain experience of working with animals.

Wild birds:

The year 2010 saw a 10.8% increase in the total number of injured or sick wild birds presented to the JSPCA for appropriate treatment and rehabilitation.

The total number of injured or sick wild mammals and reptiles brought to the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter in 2010 was lower than that of the previous year, although the proportion of wild mammals, reptiles and birds that were released or moved into further care (28.2%) was greater than in the previous year (12.7%). The percentage of injured animals released in 2009 may appear low, but this figure largely reflects the number of red squirrels presented dead on arrival at the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter as part of the on-going JSPCA Jersey Red Squirrel Disease Monitoring Project. Unfortunately, 90% of wild rabbits presented to the Animals’ Shelter were required to be euthansed on humane and welfare grounds, mainly due to infection with Myxomatosis (a fatal viral disease of rabbits).

The overall number of red squirrels presented to the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter in 2010 appears to be high and this is a reflection of the JSPCA Red Squirrel Disease Monitoring Programme which began in the summer of 2007. Ultimately, this on-going project will provide an important indication as to the health of the Jersey red squirrel population and hence help to improve their health status and welfare, but it will also assist in their vital conservation, which is of great importance to the Island and its biodiversity. The Jersey Ecology Trust, Moore Stephens and the Channel Islands Cooperative Society Limited have both very kindly sponsored, however, there is still a great need for further funding and financial support. Anyone interested in contributing to this important programme should contact Tiffany Blackett at the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter. Further details and regularly up-dated information about the progress of this project can be found on the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter website (www.jspca.org.je).

The JSPCA Animals’ Shelter accepts, cares for and re-homes all species of domestic pets. Each individual animal is thoroughly health checked and temperament assessed before being placed into a new home. Most animals are neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped (as appropriate for the species) before becoming available for re-homing and all cats are blood tested to establish whether they have been infected with Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV).

The JSPCA Animals’ Shelter always strives to find disclaimed animals and birds appropriate new homes.

The JSPCA Animals’ Shelter received a total of 725 animals in 2010, which is a dramatic 46.2% increase in comparison to 2009 (496 animals), although the number of rabbits given up for re-homing has remained the same as in the previous year (51 in 2009, 49 in 2010). However, there was a 26% rise in the number of dogs disclaimed in 2010 compared to 2009 and only 55.5% of the 2010 disclaimed dogs were rehomed in that same year, compared to 86% of dogs rehomed in 2009. This may reflect the present financial uncertainty and perhaps the resultant unwillingness of members of the public to take on another financial responsibility, such as caring for a dog or other pet. The number of cats given to the Animals’ Shelter has remained static with 258 in 2010 compared to 259 in 2009 and a similar proportion were found new homes in 2010 as in 2009.

The number of rats and guinea pigs disclaimed in 2010 has also risen significantly, largely as a result of inappropriate pairings. Only 6 rats were given to the Animals’ Shelter for re-homing in 2009, compared to 85 in 2010 and only 14 guinea pigs were disclaimed in 2009 in stark contrast to the 56 given for re-homing in 2010. These incredible figures illustrate the need for small mammal owners to ensure that their animals are properly sexed, either at purchase on via a health check at a veterinary surgery, to avoid unwanted litters arriving unexpectedly. Pet owners must be encouraged to act responsibly and hence help prevent adding to the number of unwanted small mammals by being dissuaded from indiscriminate breeding of their pets.

Pets are very rewarding and loyal companions. However, before taking on a new pet, it is important to be fully aware of the extra responsibilities that owning a pet will involve, such as obtaining veterinary treatment for the animal if it becomes sick or injured and arranging for it to be properly cared for while you are away from home. Pet owners must also understand and know how to care for the pet and realise that this responsibility is for the whole of the animal’s life.

For many children, the family pet is their best friend, a companion who not only provides love, but who also teaches them about friendship, responsibility and loyalty. While most family pets are cats and dogs, other small animals can be wonderful family pets. Rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, small birds and fish make great family pets, as long as they receive the specialized care that they need. Even though these animals are smaller than a dog or cat, they still require just as much attention and care.

It should always be anticipated that the family pet will be a lifelong member of the family who depends on the entire family, but especially the adults. A pet should never be considered only as a temporary playmate for children. Rabbits make excellent family pets provided adults are the primary caregivers and are willing to supervise their children when they are with the rabbit. Caring for a rabbit is a big responsibility and extends to the whole life of the rabbit, which can be from seven to ten years.

Remember, your responsibility for caring for your pet is for the whole of the animal’s life.

Neutering is also another big responsibility that all cat, dog and rabbit owners must recognise, so as to ultimately help reduce the number of unwanted animals and pets.

Rabbits and rodents can reproduce faster than dogs or cats. Therefore, it is also very important to consider neutering pet rabbits and ensuring that single sex groups of rodents are housed, not mixed pairs. Neutering your rabbit will allow more than one rabbit to be kept together without them fighting or producing unwanted litters. Neutered rabbits are less aggressive and territorial and are more easily litter-trained, which is helpful should you wish to keep your pet rabbit indoors as a house rabbit. Neutering can also reduce other hormone driven behaviours of rabbits, such as lunging, mounting, spraying and boxing.

Contact your veterinary surgery for advice regarding the neutering of pet animals. Your veterinary surgery will also be able to help correctly sex small pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, mice and hamsters and therefore hopefully help owners to avoid unwittingly contributing to the many unwanted litters of small mammals.

One of the most important services that the JSPCA provides to the public of Jersey is the collection and care of stray animals. Every effort is made to reunite each stray animal received at the Animals’ Shelter with its owner. Stray animals and birds are held at the Animals’ Shelter for a designated number of days to give their owners a chance to claim them. After this period they enter the JSPCA re-homing process and every effort is made to find them a new, loving home.

The Animals’ Shelter received a total of 506 stray animals and birds in 2010, which is a similar figure compared to 2009. However, the proportion of small mammals and exotics presented to the Animals’ Shelter has increased slightly and the number of stray birds arriving at the Animals’ Shelter has decreased by 30.7%, with only 13.9% being claimed by their owners (a similar proportion as in 2009 (13.5%)).

Stray dogs are the responsibility of the Parish Constables, although the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter had previously taken on the responsibility on behalf of the Constables. However, the Homes Affairs Committee made the decision to cut the grant to the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter for looking after and collecting the stray dogs, which meant that the Animals’ Shelter, an independent charity, could no longer afford to offer the service. Therefore, the responsibility of the collection and management of the stray dogs reverted back to the Constables in 2005 and is presently still their responsibility.

The Animals’ Shelter strongly recommends that dogs be micro-chipped as a means of identification, in addition to the legal requirement for the owner’s contact details (name, address and telephone number) to be clearly visible on the dog’s collar.

Cats are generally the most commonly received stray animals at the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter. 397 cats arrived at the Animals’ Shelter as strays in 2010, which makes up a similar proportion (78%) of the total number of stray animals and birds when compared to 2008 and 2009. 62.5% of cats received at the Animals’ Shelter were claimed by their owners in 2010, which unfortunately is a decrease in number compared to the 70.2% that were claimed by their owners in the previous year.

Of the total number of stray cats received at the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter in 2010, 30.2% were either unfortunately dead on arrival, usually as a result of road traffic accidents, or died as a result of injures received/ill health. This is a lower figure compared to 2009 when 48% of the total numbers of stray cats received unfortunately were dead on arrival.

The Animals’ Shelter strongly recommends that cats, like dogs, also be micro-chipped as a means of identification, so that should they arrive at the Animals’ Shelter as a stray, they can be quickly reunited with their owners.

In 2010, only 14 of the 73 stray small animals and exotics presented to the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter were claimed by their owners and of the proportion of stray rabbits the JSPCA received, disappointingly only 13% were claimed (3 out of a total of 23 rabbits).

FOTAS is a small but expanding group of volunteers who dedicate their spare time to raising funds to support the work of the Animals’ Shelter. They meet once a month to exchange ideas and plan future fund-raising events. These include:

FOTAS always welcome new members and new ideas for fund-raising. Any contributions are gratefully received. Members have a lot of fun and make new friends whilst helping the animals of Jersey. FOTAS already have a number of exciting events planned for 2010.

ADULT VOLUNTEER SCHEME

The JSPCA Animals’ Shelter wishes to say a big thank you to its adult volunteers who have offered their invaluable help and support throughout 2010. The adult volunteer scheme is extremely popular and there is currently a waiting list for placements to become available. Volunteers give up their own time to help clean, groom and socialise the homeless cats and small animals at the Animals’ Shelter.

Members of the public who are interested in becoming volunteers should call into the JSPCA Animals’ Shelter for an application form. Two written references are required. Volunteers will be contacted as and when a placement becomes available.
