A small, but passionate, group of volunteers who want to make the world a better place for all animals and their owners.
What we do
• Education of the communities about caring for their animals.
• Assistance with primary care in the very poor communities.
• Sterilization of pets in the very poor communities.
• Monitoring of and offering assistance to small scale farmers.



This is all done by a few volunteers – we started in the poor communities by walking from home to home to identify animals which need help. In this way we could find animals that would otherwise never receive proper care.
We work in several communities (Ashbury in Montagu, Zolani in Ashton, Plakkerskamp in Bonnievale) to assist pets to get primary healthcare including de-worming, vaccination including against rabies, external parasite (tick and flea) treatment - and of course we sterilise the pets.
Now we also run clinics at fixed points so people know when to expect us and where – this has had limited success and we have to really encourage people to make the effort to attend. Hence the volunteers still regularly do ‘rounds’ in the various areas where we work - and we really need more volunteers for this; please offer some time if you can.
We have also used a few locals to whom we pay a casual wage to assist within the community and also to help with the kennel building project. There are also plenty of other costs involved – the drugs needed for the surgeries and also the medicines we need for the primary healthcare are a big expense.
We have to heavily subsidise pet owners as the owners that we assist are at the bottom end of the huge wealth disparity which we see here in South Africa. We have had a great deal of success raising funds so far thanks to the generosity of many - thank you to everyone who has supported us financially or in other ways.
Unfortunately we cannot pick up stray animals as we do not have a property with holding kennels where they can be cared for. For this reason we also cannot do any re-homing of pets, so please contact the SPCA if you have a problem with a stray or lost animal.
