πŸΎπŸ’› Mandela Day: Take 67 Minutes to Change a Life πŸ’›πŸΎ

β€œIt is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it.” – Nelson Mandela

This Mandela Day, we honour Madiba’s legacy by extending compassion to every living soul β€” including the ones with paws and wagging tails.

🌍🐢🐱 Use your 67 minutes to:

βœ… Donate food or blankets to your local animal charity
βœ… Volunteer your time at a shelter
βœ… Sponsor a sterilisation
βœ… Share adoptable pets on social media
βœ… Raise awareness about responsible pet care

Make your 67 minutes count 🐾β™₯️

Still Waiting…

These beautiful souls at the Cape of Good Hope SPCA have been holding out for months.

They’ve wagged their tails, purred through the glass, watched others leave… and still they wait. πŸ’”

These are the long-stay sweethearts of the Cape of Good Hope SPCA - who’ve captured the hearts of staff and volunteers alike - but they haven’t yet found the love of their own family.

Meet them. Share them. Change their lives.

They’ve been overlooked for too long. Let’s help them find what they deserve:

β™₯️ A warm bed. A safe home. A loving family. β™₯️

Adopt. Share. Be the reason they stop waiting.

Winter Doesn’t Mean We Stop β€” It Means We Step Up ❄️πŸ’ͺ

We would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis and the Cape Animal Welfare Forum (CAWF) for sponsoring 162 sterilisations in Lavender Hill this winter β€” a powerful step in the fight to end the cycle of suffering.

As proud Pawtners in Prevention with Aid 4 Animals In Distress and the Cape of Good Hope SPCA, we believe that sterilisation is essential β€” in every season. Cold weather doesn’t stop unwanted litters, and it won’t stop us either.

To the dedicated field workers, the SPCA hospital team and to the compassionate community of Lavender Hill, we cannot thank you enough. πŸ’š

Every animal sterilised is also:
βœ… Vaccinated
βœ… Dewormed
βœ… Deflead
βœ… Sent home with a nutritious bag of Lionel's Choice Holistic Pet Nutrition 🐢🐱

Together, we’re creating a kinder future and putting an end to pet overpopulation - one paw at a time. 🐾

Meet The Longstayers of TEARS Animal Rescue πŸ’š

Today, we want to shine a spotlight on some truly remarkable residents at TEARS Animal Rescue - the longstay furbabies who have been waiting for their forever homes, some for up to 2000 days!!

These dogs have shown incredible resilience and love, and they deserve a chance to experience the warmth and comfort of a loving family.

Each of them has a unique story, filled with hope and a longing for companionship - they all have so much love to give. πŸ₯Ή

By adopting one of the TEARS Animal Rescue longstayers, you’re not just giving them a home - you’re changing their lives forever.

We ask you today to go meet these wonderful companions - spend some time with them, learn about their personalities, and see how they can fit into your life.

Let’s make their wait worth it. Visit TEARS Animal Rescue today! Or share their post with your family and friends.

It is getting cold, let’s find these furbabies their HOMES for winter and forever πŸ™πŸΌ

Together, we can help them find the love and happiness they truly deserve. 🐾β™₯️

Storm alert β›ˆοΈ

Please bring your pets inside!

🚨 Severe Storm Alert – Please Keep Your Pets Safe!

A significant cold front is heading toward Cape Town, expected to make landfall in the early hours of Saturday, 7 June, and continue through Sunday, 8 June. Heavy rainfall (20–50mm+), strong winds, possible thunderstorms, and flooding are expected across the Cape Metropole, Winelands, and Overberg.

Roads may become dangerous, and driving conditions will be challengingβ€”but let’s not forget our animals in this storm.

βœ… Tips to keep your pets safe:

Bring pets indoors or provide warm, waterproof shelter

Ensure ID tags and microchip info are up to date

Move small animals, birds, or outdoor pets to safer, dry spots

Let’s weather the storm togetherβ€”safely.

Meet ELI - the happiest, bounciest boy you’ll ever meet.

Eli is only one year old, fully vaccinated and sterilised.

He will do very well in an active home with a dog companion who can match his energy levels - he LOVES to play!

Unfortunately Eli does not do well with cats as he thinks they are way too fun to chase.

If you’re looking for a running partner or someone to spend lots of time at the dog park with - Eli is your boy!

TAKE A STAND AGAINST LIVE EXPORT! πŸ“£

β€œLast week it was revealed that instead of banning live animal exports, as called for by more than 50 animal welfare organisations, the government has produced new regulations.

These new regulations have been signed by the Minister and will be published any day now for public comment.”

Live Export cannot be regulated.

β€œIf we don’t reach enough of the public to submit comments, the regulations will be passed, live animal exports from South Africa will continue, and our opportunity to BAN THIS ABUSE will be lost.

The people of South Africa will not be ignored, and we will not stand for this cruel and unnecessary abuse, masked as β€˜business as usual’.”

Please visit website if you would like to sign the petition.

Together, we can create a kinder world for all South Africans. πŸ–πŸπŸ„πŸ“
