Meet HAZEL. Only a year old, and she’s already retired from motherhood (her kittens have long since been adopted). She’s ready to embrace the carefree life she deserves, dedicating herself to naps in sunbeams, chasing toys like she’s starring in an action movie and soaking up all the cuddles you can give.

She’s sweet, playful and a total joy to be around.

If you’d like to adopt Hazel, please Whatsapp Belinda on 082 767 0847, or fill in an online application here: https://knysnaanimalwelfare.co.za/kaws-cat-adoption-application-form/

This little girl, POLLY, is hoping her home is out there soon. Her foster brother goes to his forever family tomorrow and then she will be all alone (teddies make good company but only to a point).

She loves playing with a ball, has the cutest underbite, and is very much like a Labrador in her personality. You really don't want to miss out on this one-in-a-million pup🦄

She is 9 weeks old, already almost fully house-trained, and will be med/large when fully grown.

To adopt this precious girl, please Whatsapp Belinda on 082 767 0847 or complete the application form here ➡️ https://knysnaanimalwelfare.co.za/dog-adoption-application/

KAYCEE has a lot to smile about these days 😁😁😁
1. It's and the Springbok Women's team won their WC Rugby match today
2. It's and Kaycee is as close to the real-deal africanis as they get
3. She is finally up for adoption

Kaycee has been waiting in the wings while she raised her 3 beautiful babies. They have since been adopted and so it's her time shine.🌞

This gorgeous medium-sized girl is all love. She adores going on walks and meeting new people. She is between 1-2 years old. What you can't see in these pictures is her colouring - her back is black, her legs are white, and the rest of her is Blonde Bombshell. 👱‍♀️

To adopt Kaycee, please WhatsApp Belinda on 082 767 0847 or complete the application form here ➡️ https://knysnaanimalwelfare.co.za/dog-adoption-application/

✨Looking for a Miracle? Meet ANGEL, MINNIE & RAY✨

Yes, we know — it’s a big ask. A needle-in-a-haystack kind of home. But we have to try … because the bond these three share is something truly rare.

ANGEL, MINNIE, and RAY (a.k.a The Fish) are looking for a home together.

Their story? A little miraculous in itself. Their mom, Molly, was surrendered into our care — but pulled off a daring jailbreak before her spay appointment. After a summer fling with a charming tabby, she returned… with some tiny surprises in tow. Oops.

And what a trio they are:

🐱 ANGEL (female) – The quietest of the bunch. Gentle and serene, you'll hardly know she's there.

🐱 MINNIE (female) – A little shy at first, but once she trusts you, she melts into your hands. She lives for gentle strokes and cuddles.

🐱 RAY (male) – Okay, it’s Women’s Month, but we couldn’t possibly separate this guy from his sisters. He’s confident, dog-friendly, and always the first to explore new things. The girls follow his lead.

We know it won’t be easy. But somewhere out there is someone with a heart (and home) big enough to take in all three of these bonded siblings.

Please like, share, and help us find that miracle match. And if you are that needle in a haystack, please WhatsApp Belinda on 082 767 0847 or fill in an online application here: https://knysnaanimalwelfare.co.za/kaws-cat-adoption-application-form/

It's the week of scraggle-muffins and misfits as we welcome simply the best guys 'n gals to the KAWS family.

🐱MRS NORRIS is getting more beautiful by the day. She's lost her owner, her home, half her hair. But she's only a year old, and she's going to be STUNNING once her skin heals. She's a little wary of new people,but super sweet. Loves a cuddle.

🐶WALLY & POLLY aren't siblings, but they love each other as if they were. Wally has a racing stripe on his tail, and loves to smile. He adores his big 'sister', Polly, who is round like a ball and will be a big girl once she is fully grown. Both pups are between 8 & 9 weeks old.

🐶PEPSI is a dog you may have seen running along George Rex Drive very often. He has been to us as a stray several times, and his owner always collects him. This time, he came to us after being hit by a car, and although his owner knows where to find him, it's been a few weeks and he has never come to fetch him. Pepsi is a collie-cross, petite and gentle. He gets along with other dogs.

To adopt, please WhatsApp Belinda on 082 767 0847 or visit www.knysnaanimalwelfare.co.za for an application form.

Adoption fee: R800 and it includes 2 x vaccinations, dewormer, tick & flea treatment, microchip, and mandatory sterilization at 6 months old (all adults are already sterilized).

It's a BIG day at the kennels.... our first kitten of the 'new' kitten season (who are we kidding? The season never ended...).

UNAM (isiXhosa for 'With Me') is hoping we can find her a home asap - her mom came in to be sterilized and our kitten room has no other friends in it, so she will soon be all alone once her mom returns home.

To adopt this sweet girl, please WhatsApp Belinda on 082 767 0847 or complete our application form here ➡️ https://knysnaanimalwelfare.co.za/kaws-cat-adoption-application-form/

SASHA has a royal presence about her - perhaps it's her size, or her serene gentle nature...who knows? All we know is she is magnificent in every way.

Sasha was in a home for 9 months, but sadly returned to us. She has everything going for her - the only downside is that she needs a secure property with high walls/fences.

She gets along well with male dogs (no cats please) and is really good with kids. She is a Rottweiler x Blue Tick Hound, so she is a sizeable lass. We know she would love to be back in a home of her very own after knowing creature comforts for so long.

At 5 years old, she has outgrown the puppy phase and is more than ready to be yours 💖💖💖

To adopt Sasha, please WhatsApp Belinda on 082 767 0847 or complete the application form here ➡️ https://knysnaanimalwelfare.co.za/dog-adoption-application/

TINKIE is full of personality — when she's not hogging the heater in the cattery, she's playful, will happily chat with you, and loves a good bum scratch. She’s not much of a lap cat, but she does like to be near her humans.

Tinkie is around 1–2 years old. She was surrendered with her kittens (her sweet boys Jaffa and Moonpie are still looking for homes too!).

If you're after a companion who’s affectionate in her own independent way and full of sass and sweetness, Tinkie might just be your girl.

Come meet her and see if she melts your heart (and steals your warm spot).

To adopt Tinkie, please Whatsapp Belinda on 082 767 0847 or fill in an online application here: https://knysnaanimalwelfare.co.za/kaws-cat-adoption-application-form/
