FIREWORKS & OUR PETS

The year is coming to a close and some may choose to celebrate bringing in the New Year with fireworks. Here are some tips to keep your pets safe and stress-free this New Year’s Eve

* Make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise earlier in the day to try tire them out.
* Keep pets indoors, and bring them in before the fireworks start.
* Keep them company, stay with them and act like it’s a normal night at home.
* Close all windows, curtains, blinds, and doors where possible to block out flashing lights and sounds.
* Provide toys, treats and other distractions to keep pets occupied.
* Turn on music or the TV to muffle the sounds of fireworks. Nothing too loud – classical music is great. It is most effective when you first play the music well before the fireworks start, at a time the animal is already peaceful and relaxed.
* Make sure your pet is microchipped or appropriately tagged for easy identification if it gets lost.
* If your pet runs to hide in a corner or under the bed, don’t try to coax it out; let it be where it feels safe.
* Speak to your pet’s vet about supplements and medication available for managing anxiety caused by loud noises.

GORGEOUS KITTENS UP FOR ADOPTION

These two gorgeous, 16 week old, tame male kittens were dumped on the outskirts of an informal settlement. Now they are looking for their forever homes.

ATLAS is curious, cuddly, bold, playful and very affectionate. He will follow you from room to room, tail held high, quietly supervising everything you do. His eyes are always bright and searching, whiskers forward, as if the world is a puzzle needing solving. The perfect companion, always accepting of affection and warmth.

COMPASS is a bold, confident, outgoing and adventurous little boy. He thrives on attention and leans into your hand for pets, purring easily, then suddenly darts off to investigate a sound or a patch of sunlight on the floor. He approaches people with his head held high, as if he owns every room. Compass demands attention, meowing, rubbing against legs, or hopping straight into a lap.

An approved application and home check are a part of the adoption process. The adoption fee is R1250 per kitten. This fee covers their vet care expenses, including initial and booster vaccinations, rabies shots, deflea and deworming treatments, FIV and FeLV tests, microchip, and sterilization.

BOXING DAY

Indulged a little too much Christmas Day on all the yummies…?

Don’t stress. Take a page out of Arnold’s book, lay back and take it easy.

Did you know that Boxing Day evolved from Victorian-era acts of generosity, connecting the day after Christmas to giving to the less fortunate, fitting also with St Stephen’s Day, the first Christian Marytr known for charity.

However you chose to spend the day… have a good one.

KITTENS UP FOR ADOPTION

We have three beautiful 10 week old tabby kittens looking for their forever homes.

Brighton is a brown tabby boy who is loving, busy and super playful with a mischievous streak. He is full of energy but always gentle, especially with his sister Kimball. Brighton enjoys exploring, playing and being involved in whatever is going on around him.

Monterey is a dark tabby female kitten with a big personality. She is playful, interactive and a true escape artist from her mew with her mum and siblings. She is like an energiser bunny, fast, busy and always on the go. Monterey is the first to figure out how new toys work and proudly carries a little blue mouse around in her mouth until she is tired, then drops it into the water bowl.

All three kittens are friendly, curious and full of life. They would make wonderful companions for loving homes ready for fun, affection and kitten antics.

Kimball is a sweet girlie girl with a gentle and loving nature. She often plays in the water bowl and is endlessly entertaining to watch. Kimball is a real shoulder percher and will happily climb up your trouser leg to sit on your shoulder. She is affectionate, calm and full of charm.

An approved application and home check are a part of the adoption process. The adoption fee is R1250 per kitten. This fee covers their vet care expenses, including initial and booster vaccinations, rabies shots, deflea and deworming treatments, FIV and FeLV tests, microchip, and sterilization.

UPDATE: ROADSIDE RESCUE

Our young female adults, Hazel and Harmony have had a battle with snuffles due to their compromised immune systems the last 5 weeks and are presently still in quarantine. Hailey the 3rd female is doing a lot better and going from strength to strength.

All 3 females are not accustomed to being stroked, loved or picked up, and are weary of the hand that reaches for them.

They have ravenous appetites spending their time around their food bowls, even curling up to nap next to a bowl in fear that either the bowls will be removed or emptied, leaving them without food. In the photo the food and water bowls, but for one, have been removed, to wash and clearly this is a concern to them.

It’s sad to realise that their lives were so tough; void of affection or a bowl of kibble and their survival and the survival of their offspring depended on what they could scavenge from dustbins and dumped rubbish.

Besides the physical recovery of their depleted bodies the emotional journey to wholeness will take time for them to accept that there will always be a loving hand and a full kibble bowl.

Please advocate for sterilization - these young females and their offspring would not have suffered as they did, had they not birthed litter after litter.

We have the highest number of rescues since we opened our doors. Donations is the lifeblood to our rescue and shelter operations. Your donation makes a difference. Thank you.

This strong willed, sociable and at times very stubborn tuxie, when being coaxed for cuddles while she is not in the mood, has an expression that says do not mess with me.
This outgoing, inquisitive and very active female would need to be homed to a household without small children but with at least one other cat.

A FAMILY OF 7 IN NEED OF A LIFELINE

Rescue becomes more challenging each year with the increasing number of cats living in dire need of help.

We were contacted to assist with TNR for a colony of 19 cats at a provincial hospital. The colony includes two mother cats and five kittens, approximately nine weeks old. We urged the feeders not to sterilise such young kittens, and we began networking to find a foster carer to help tame and socialise them.

It is possible to tame feral kittens even at nine weeks of age. We have successfully tamed older kittens in the past, all of whom went on to find loving homes.

We urge feeders and feral carers to make the effort and go the extra mile by removing kittens from colonies by eight weeks of age and fostering them, or arranging for them to be fostered, for rehoming. The fatality rate for kittens in colonies is highest during their first year of life.

This is one of the most wonderful gifts anyone can give feral kittens, transforming a short life of hardship and the absence of human touch and love into a full, healthy, and long life as a beloved pet.

Our very own Mikki stepped forward and offered to foster not only the kittens but both mother cats as well. A huge thank you to Mikki for giving this family of seven a safe haven. Upon arrival at her home, Mikki informed us that one of the mother cats is missing a back leg. How she survived as a free-roaming cat, giving birth to litter after litter, is a mystery.

Your support makes our work of transforming lives possible. Thank you for your continued support.

We tried to home our bonded pair Chevelle and Camino together, but this was not successful. Camino has been adopted and will be going to his new home after the New Year, leaving this sweet, high energy, petite, live wire female of seven months old as the last of her litter.

The “sandwich” in the video is to stop her pulling out stitches from her sterilisation. We delayed her sterilisation by a month as she only weighs 1.4 kg and probably will not get much bigger or heavier. She is a little shy and wary when first meeting strangers, but once she trusts, she is interactive and loving.

This strong willed, sociable and at times very stubborn tuxie, when being coaxed for cuddles while she is not in the mood, has an expression that says do not mess with me.

This outgoing, inquisitive and very active female would need to be homed to a household without small children but with at least one other cat.
