We are a small, but passionate group of volunteers who want to make the world a better place for all animals and their owners.
WHO WE ARE
Animals Matter Langeberg is a non profit organisation. It was founded in 2019 by a small group of dedicated residents of the Langeberg district. They realised there was a need to assist some of the poorer communities to have their pets sterilised and to provide primary health care to the growing number of domesticated animals in the area. The sterilisations were initiallly done in Ashton. However, AML has since obtained premises in Montagu and has been running Mainee's Clinic from there.
What we do
• Education. Education. Education.
• Primary healthcare in our communities.
• Sterilisation of pets in our communities.
AML is active in several communities in and around Montagu, Ashton and Bonnievale. We provide primary healthcare including de-worming, vaccinations against rabies, as well as external parasite (tick and flea) treatments.
Our education drive in several schools has gained momentum over the years. We have been visiting schools in Montagu, Ashton and Bonnievale to teach children how to care for their pets.
Our main drive is to assist owners with the sterilisation of their pets. We conduct sterilisations on a weekly basis at Mainee’s clinic in Long street. Our volunteers collect the animals from their owners and drop them off after the operation.
We have a resident veterinarian as well as a vet in training who do the operations. They are also able to assist when there are emergencies with pets in our communities.
AML subsidises pet owners who are less affluent but who care deeply about their animals. Our fundraising events are well supported. We are humbled by the generosity of our communities which enables us to help the less fortunate.
We are unable to care for stray animals as we do not have a property with holding kennels where they can be cared for. Unfortunately, we also cannot do any re-homing of pets.
WHAT WE NEED
FUNDING, SPONSORSHIP, DONATIONS
Educational material, medications, vaccines, food, collars and leads, old towels and newspapers.
Carrying boxes, holding cages/pens for dogs and cats.
Blankets, old pieces of foam and kennels.
We now have two vehichles doing rounds in the communities - we have one working Montagu side and another for Zolani / Bonnievale.
