JSPCA Animals' Shelter Preventing cruelty, promoting knowledge, and providing for aged, sick, lost and unwanted animals.

Please note: When our Reception is closed, you can contact our out of hours animal ambulance on 07797 720331. The JSPCA's mission is to prevent cruelty, promote knowledge and provide for the aged, sick, injured and unwanted animals of Jersey. We have been serving the local community for over 150 years, since the JSPCA was founded in 1868. The Jersey Animals' Shelter was founded in 1913 by Miss Frances Elizabeth Wilson, who was appalled by the number of domestic animals being washed up on the Island's beaches after being drowned by owners who could no longer care for them. Our animal ambulance service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Whether you need advice, support, or assistance with a sick or injured animal, you can contact our Reception during opening hours or our ambulance driver during evenings, weekends and bank holidays.

Have you taken part in this year’s Reptilewatch for The Jersey Biodiversity Centre?🌿🦎

Reptilewatch JE is a monitoring scheme designed to help learn more about Jersey’s native reptiles and contribute valuable data to support their conservation. The scheme runs from March to the end of October, so there’s still time to get involved!

Here’s how to take part:

1. Download and print the Reptilewatch Level 1 survey form from: https://groups.arguk.org/jarg

2. Check out the factsheets and identification guides to help you recognise our native reptiles.

3. Choose a day with sunshine or partial cloud cover, when the temperature is between 10°C and 20°C.

4. Head out for a walk anywhere around the island and enjoy exploring Jersey’s wildlife.

5. Set a timer for 30 minutes and complete your survey form, recording any reptiles you spot.

6. Submit your results! Every record helps build an understanding of Jersey’s reptile populations and contributes important data to this project.

Submit your survey results here: https://www.jerseybiodiversitycentre.org.je/reptilewatch/level-1-form

Spotted a reptile outside of a survey? You can still make a valuable contribution by submitting your sighting here: https://www.jerseybiodiversitycentre.org.je/records/enter-casual/

Every report helps to discover more about Jersey’s native reptiles and protect our island’s biodiversity. 💚

Success Story 🐌🐌

“We recently rehomed two African land snails, Sharkey and Heidi, from the JSPCA, and they have settled into our family wonderfully. We had no idea quite how fascinating these little creatures would be, but they have very quickly become much-loved members of the family!

Our two boys absolutely adore them, particularly Sharkey, our white snail, who has a huge personality. He is incredibly inquisitive, always out and about exploring, and seems to genuinely enjoy being handled by the children and investigating whatever new foods we give him. Heidi is a little more reserved and prefers to come out and explore when it’s quiet in the evenings, so we don’t see quite as much of her!

They have been such an unexpected joy to have, and the boys love caring for them, preparing their food and watching what they get up to. We’re so pleased we decided to rehome them and absolutely love having Sharkey and Heidi as part of our family.”

We love hearing how animals are doing after adoption. Big thank you to their new family for sharing their success and for providing them with a loving home ❤

We still have lots of giant African land snails available for adoption. If you would like to give one (or a few) of these little cuties a home, please fill in an application form via the link below or pop into reception to complete a paper copy👇

This gorgeous little Fulmar was picked up by our ambulance driver after being found waterlogged in the public toilets at Gunsite Café!

Related to albatrosses, Fulmars spend most of their lives out at sea. Young birds can spend their first four or five years offshore before returning to coastal colonies, where they will eventually breed.

This little guy was clearly lost and in need of some care, but thankfully, he was a good weight. After a few days of rest to allow his feathers to become waterproof again, he was ready to return to the open sea! A huge thank you, as always, to Dave Buxton for visiting us to ring this bird, helping us contribute to the ongoing monitoring and understanding of Jersey's visiting and resident wildlife. 💙

If you’d like to support our work caring for lost, injured and orphaned wildlife, you can help by purchasing much-needed items from our Amazon wish lists or by making a donation directly to the JSPCA 👇

We're delighted to be working with Alicja Raffray of Soul Healing Counselling, who has created a beautiful handmade bracelet fundraiser to support the animals in our care.

What began as a personal hobby has grown into a community project, with friends and supporters coming together to create unique animal-themed bracelets. Every bracelet is handmade with love, and all proceeds support the JSPCA's work.

The fundraiser is especially meaningful because Alicja's late father-in-law, Alec John Raffray ('Raf'), spent decades working at the Animal Shelter on St Saviour's Road, helping care for Jersey's animals.

Bracelets are available from:
📍 JSPCA reception
📍 Soul Healing Counselling
📍 Pet Wellness Co
📍 Carpathia Clinic
📍 Eve Studios

A suggested donation of £10 per bracelet is welcome, although supporters can donate whatever they feel able to.

Love animals? Curious about a career working with them?

Come and meet the JSPCA team at the Skills Jersey 2026 Jersey Skills Show to learn about a range of rewarding careers in animal welfare, including animal care, animal behaviour, veterinary nursing and ambulance driving. We'll also be showcasing the different pathways that can help you get there, including opportunities available through Highlands College.

We'll also have our brand-new Student Fundraising Pack (now available on our website), packed with ideas for schools and young people who want to make a difference for Jersey's animals.
