Lucky Lucy Foundation Changing lives one by one - with us they have time to trust and heal themselves again. My head must have been about a centimeter away from the track.

Lucky Lucy's Story:
My name is Lucky Lucy and I was tied to a railway line to be hit by a train. All I remember is that I was happy and playing, I was fed and didn’t go hungry. Perhaps my owner did love me at one stage cause I lived well and warm, I was clean and had friends to play with and I found a boyfriend and carried his babies, but then suddenly for some reason something changed in my owner

. He went looking for a strong rope, something that couldn’t snap or get loose and he took me with him, which I thought would be the usual stroll you go on with your owner. But then we were at the train tracks and he grabbed me, took my hind legs and stretched them out to be tied to my front legs, them my body stretched, was tied to the railway line. Then he took my head and tied it to the bolt that holds the track in place. Then he turned and walked away… didn’t even look back. I thought at first this must be a game but he disappeared. I didn’t know what was going on – then I felt the vibration and heard the noise… I saw this huge train coming at me and I couldn’t move… I tried with all my strength but I just couldn’t move…

The train went over my leg – my paw was gone and my muscle had been ripped from my already smashed bone. I didn’t feel any more… I just lay dead still and waited to die – a few more trains went over me… I just closed my eyes and hoped I would die soon to end this agony. Out of nowhere this man saw me, he screamed and ran away only to come back with two people. They jumped out of their car and cut my neck and paws from the ropes. I don’t know if my life was now going to be completely over cause who would want to keep me alive – in my state? They put me in their car and took me to the hospital. I heard the lady and man say “Hold on for us girl… don’t give up… we will help you”. Now I will try my best to pull through, I know they are asking everyone to pray for me, so I will pray for me too.

Christmas in July 2026 – Honouring the Seniors and Special Souls We Love
25 June 2026 – 31 July 2026

At Lucky Lucy Foundation, every day we spend with the animals in our care is a gift. We treasure every moment, every cuddle, every purr, every wagging tail and every milestone ... big or small. That is why we have chosen to celebrate Christmas in July, a special time dedicated to honouring some of the most remarkable cats and dogs who call our Sanctuary home.

Over the coming days, we will introduce you to some of our most incredible personalities as we count down to our Christmas in July celebration. These are the seniors who have shared their golden years with us and the special needs animals who face each day with extraordinary courage, resilience and grace.

Some are blind, some live with epilepsy, others face mobility challenges, chronic medical conditions or disabilities that require ongoing care and support. Yet each one continues to teach us invaluable lessons about strength, trust and unconditional love.

This campaign is dedicated to celebrating them.

As we introduce each special resident, you can become part of their story by simply replying:

🎁 GIFT – to send a special Christmas surprise
❤️ SPONSOR – to contribute towards their care and wellbeing
👼 GUARDIAN – to become a monthly Guardian Angel for that specific animal

We do not know how much time we still have with each of these precious souls. However, what we do know is that today is the perfect opportunity to show them just how deeply loved, cherished and truly special they are.

Together, we can give them something extra from the heart this Christmas in July, a reminder that they are seen, valued and surrounded by people who care.

Because while we cannot add more days to their lives, we can fill the days they have with comfort, joy, love, dignity and unforgettable memories.

Join us from 25 June to 31 July 2026 as we celebrate the seniors, the survivors, the fighters and the animals who remind us every day that love has no limits.

~~° Because every life is worth celebrating. °~~

Exciting Things Are Happening at Lucky Lucy Foundation!

Our next camp upgrade is officially underway and this time it is Vanity Fair that is receiving a much-deserved makeover!

A very special thank you goes to Karen McGeachie for sponsoring this upgrade and helping us create a space where our dogs can truly thrive. Because of your generosity, our residents are going to have a super awesome camp to enjoy, play in, make memories in and of course, be their wonderfully silly selves in.

Every camp upgrade makes a world of difference. It provides our dogs with a safer, more comfortable and more enriching environment while they wait for their forever families. These improvements are not just about fences, structures and facilities ... they are about dignity, comfort, happiness and giving every animal in our care the quality of life they deserve.

We cannot wait to share the progress with you and show you the transformation as Vanity Fair becomes a beautiful new space for our dogs.

Would you or your company like to be part of a future camp upgrade project?

We are looking for individuals, families, businesses and corporate partners who would like to sponsor one of our camps and leave a lasting legacy for the animals in our care.

For more information, please contact us at:
📧 [email protected]
📱 WhatsApp: 072 779 7424

Together, we can continue building a Sanctuary filled with comfort, hope and second chances for those who need it most.

A SINCERE AND HEARTFELT THANK YOU ... NATHAN YOU ARE AMAZING!

On behalf of the entire Lucky Lucy Cattery Team, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your incredibly generous donation of warm water bottles, cotton pads, soft food, blankets and your beautiful note that accompanied these special gifts.

Your kind words touched our hearts more than you could possibly know. Donations such as these are so much more than just items, they are acts of compassion, comfort and love. As the winter days grow colder, please know that your generosity will help keep some of our most vulnerable and special residents warm, comfortable and cared for.

We know there are many worthy causes and many places where your kindness could have been shared and we are deeply grateful that you chose to support the animals in our care. Every blanket will provide warmth, every warm water bottle will bring comfort, every meal will nourish a hungry tummy and every item will remind us that there are people who truly care. Please know that this very special donation will most definitely make winter a little easier for many of our residents. The comfort and care that these gifts will provide cannot be measured and neither can our appreciation.

Thank you for wrapping our Sanctuary in kindness. Together, we are making a significant difference, one precious life at a time. We SALUTE YOU and your generosity.

🎨🌿 ALCATRAZ IS GETTING A LITTLE MAKEOVER 🌿🎨

There is something incredibly special about watching a space evolve and grow alongside the animals who call it home.

Over the past few week and days, we have been hard at work in AlCATraz — painting, replanting, refreshing garden beds and reimagining parts of the layout to create an even more beautiful, enriching and peaceful environment for our cats.

Every brush stroke, every plant moved, every new addition and every improvement is made with one goal in mind: creating a Sanctuary where our cats can feel safe, loved, comfortable and at home.

Projects like these never happen because of one person. They happen because of an incredible group of people who generously give their time, energy, skills and hearts to help us make a difference.

To each and every volunteer who has selflessly rolled up their sleeves and jumped in to help — THANK YOU!

THANK YOU for spending your weekends and free time with us.
THANK YOU for getting paint on your clothes, dirt on your hands and tired feet at the end of the day. THANK YOU for believing that these animals deserve beautiful spaces and THANK YOU for helping us turn ideas into reality.

Sometimes people see the finished result and admire the space, but behind every corner of our Sanctuary are volunteers whose kindness helped make it possible.

If anyone has unwanted planters, garden ornaments, outdoor furniture, pots, plants, old paint or other garden items looking for a new home, we would love to hear from you. We believe strongly in repurposing items and giving them a second life where they can bring beauty, enrichment and comfort to the animals in our care.

Together, we can create a Sanctuary that carries a piece of all our hearts ... a place built not only with bricks, paint and plants, but with kindness, compassion and a shared love for the animals who call it home.

From all of us at Lucky Lucy Foundation — THANK YOU for helping us build not just a Sanctuary, but a home. ❤️

🚨 URGENT APPEAL: WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP WITH OUR DOG FOOD BILL🚨

Today, we are coming to you with a very difficult but honest request. We are facing a serious financial challenge and we urgently need to raise R14,993.13 to pay our outstanding dog food account.

Every day, our dogs rely on us for the basics: a safe place to sleep, clean water, medical care when needed, and most importantly, food in their bowls.

For the animals in our care, there is no alternative plan. They cannot understand financial difficulties. They cannot wait for funding applications to be approved. They simply depend on us to provide for them every single day.

Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, donations have slowed considerably while the cost of caring for our animals continues to increase. We have reached a point where we must ask for help.

Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us closer to settling this account and ensuring that our dogs continue receiving the food they depend on.

We know that times are difficult for many families, and we never take your support for granted. But today we are asking, from the bottom of our hearts, if you are able to help, please consider making a contribution towards our dog food account.

If you are unable to donate, please help us by sharing this appeal. Sometimes the right person simply needs to see it.

Donations can be done in the following manner:
Direct payment to our bank account:
STANDARD BANK
Account: 410514039

SWIFT Code: SBZAZAJJ

❄️ Lucky Lucy Foundation Winter Wishlist 2026 ❄️

Winter has settled over the farm. The mornings arrive wrapped in mist, the evenings come a little earlier and every blanket, bed, kennel, basket, couch, and sunny spot suddenly becomes highly sought-after real estate.

While many of us can escape the cold with a warm cup of coffee, an extra jersey, or a heater, the animals in our care rely entirely on us to make their world warm, comfortable and safe.

At Lucky Lucy, we believe that just because an animal finds themselves in a sanctuary, it does not mean they should know discomfort. Every animal deserves to feel safe, comfortable and loved during the cold and rainy months.

This winter we are once again asking our incredible supporters to help us keep the fires of kindness burning.

Whether you choose to donate food, blankets, cleaning supplies, garden equipment or make a financial contribution, every gift helps us provide comfort, warmth, nutrition and care to the many special souls who call Lucky Lucy home.

As winter settles across the Western Cape, we are reminded that warmth is about so much more than blankets and beds. It is about knowing that someone cares.

A New Friendship Begins ... Roo, Duke of Kent & Edie

There is something incredibly special about watching dogs choose one another.

This week we successfully introduced our beautiful three-legged boy, Roo, to Duke of Kent and Edie, and we couldn't be happier with how things have unfolded.

What makes this particular camp so special is the extraordinary individuals who call it home.

Duke of Kent, our handsome three-legged gentleman, has never allowed the loss of a leg to define him. He approaches life with determination, grace and a quiet confidence that wins over everyone he meets.

Roo, another of our incredible three-legged boys, carries his own story of resilience. Despite the challenges life has placed in his path, he has remained gentle, affectionate and wonderfully endearing.

And then there is Edie ... our beautiful girl with her own unique charm and personality. She has a way of bringing balance and warmth wherever she goes and has proven to be the perfect companion in this growing friendship.

While introductions may sometimes look simple from the outside, they are one of the most important aspects of managing a sanctuary environment. Every dog has their own personality, preferences, boundaries and communication style. Successful introductions require patience, observation and a willingness to allow the dogs to guide the process at their own pace.

At Lucky Lucy, we carefully consider the personalities of every dog when creating camp groups. We generally limit our camps to a maximum of three dogs, allowing each individual the space and attention they need to thrive. In exceptional circumstances, where personalities complement one another beautifully, we may have four dogs sharing a camp, but we never exceed this number.

This approach allows us to build small, stable family units where friendships can develop naturally and each dog can feel safe, secure and understood.

Watching Roo settle in alongside Duke of Kent and Edie has been a beautiful reminder that companionship can be one of the greatest gifts we can offer our dogs. It is impossible not to smile when you see these three together ... each carrying their own story, each overcoming their own challenges and each proving that resilience and kindness often go hand in hand.

Here's to new friendships, gentle introductions and a very special camp filled with courage, character and love.

❤️🐾 THE WELCOME COMMITTEE OF RIVERLANDS🐾❤️

Outreach work is not for everyone. There are dusty roads, long days, difficult situations and sometimes heartbreaking realities. There are moments when the challenges can feel overwhelming and when the work ahead seems endless.

But then there are moments like these. Moments when you stop the vehicle and before you've even opened the door, tails are wagging.

Moments when dogs come running towards you with pure joy, as if they have been waiting all day for your arrival.

Moments when muddy paws, happy faces and wagging tails remind you that they don't care what you look like, where you come from, or how busy your day has been. They simply know that you came. They know your voice. They recognise your vehicle and they remember your kindness.

And somehow, despite having so little, they greet you with everything they have. That kind of welcome is something truly special.

It is one of the greatest privileges of outreach work to build relationships not only with the animals, but also with the people who love them. Over time, strangers become friends and communities become part of our extended family.

We know outreach is not for everyone, but for those who choose to walk this road with us, the rewards are immeasurable.

We are incredibly fortunate to have special humans who share these moments with us. Volunteers, supporters, veterinary teams, donors and community members who understand that real change happens one animal, one family and one relationship at a time.

Together we celebrate the victories. Together we navigate the challenges. And together we experience the pure magic of being greeted by dogs whose tails seem determined to wag right off their bodies.

Those moments may seem small to some.

To us, they mean everything. ❤️

"MINI" STERILISATION CLINIC NR 2 OF 2026 – 3 JUNE 2026
The Lucky Lucy Foundation in conjunction with Bergzicht Dierehospitaal, Malmesbury

Sometimes the most important things happen with very little notice, a lot of determination and people with hearts big enough to say "yes" when it matters most.

Over the past few weeks, we received an overwhelming number of requests from community members needing assistance to have their cats sterilised. As the requests continued to grow, we knew that waiting was simply not an option. Every day that passes can mean another unwanted litter, another cycle of suffering and more animals entering a world already struggling to care for them.

With time working against us and our schedules already stretched to capacity, we approached our incredible veterinary team at Bergzicht Dierehospitaal with a hopeful request: would they be willing to accommodate a special morning sterilisation session for us? Without hesitation, Dr Maryke said yes.
Within just five days, a plan was put into action to ensure that the most critical cases could receive the help they desperately needed.

Wednesday morning started long before sunrise. Carriers, transport arrangements, confirmations and checklists all had to come together to ensure that every community cat booked for sterilisation was safely at the clinic before our veterinary team arrived.

And once again, what seemed almost impossible became possible.

This "mini" clinic may have been smaller in size, but its impact will be felt for years to come. Every cat sterilised represents countless future kittens that will never have to face hunger, disease, neglect, abandonment or life on the streets.

𝐃𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠:
(1) Spay of Female Cats – 11
(2) Neutering of Male Cats - 12
(3) Flea treatments administered - 7
TOTAL CATS STERILISED = 23

Sterilisation remains one of the most powerful tools available to us in addressing the overpopulation crisis facing companion animals. It is not simply a veterinary procedure, it is an act of compassion, responsibility and prevention.

We often speak about rescuing animals already suffering, but the reality is that preventing suffering before it starts is equally important. Every sterilisation performed is a step toward a future where fewer animals are born only to struggle for survival.

A heartfelt thank you goes to:
🙏 Dr Maryke, Dr Anja and Mariaan from Bergzicht Dierehospitaal for once again opening your doors and your hearts to support this vital initiative.
🙏 Every family and community caregiver who made the decision to sterilise their cats and who entrusted us with their beloved animals.
🙏 Our donors, supporters and volunteers whose generosity makes clinics like these possible. Your support continues to create real and lasting change in the lives of animals who cannot speak for themselves.

There are days when it feels as though there are simply not enough hours in the day to meet every need. Yet time and time again, when compassionate people come together with a shared purpose, remarkable things happen. This was one of those days.

Together, one sterilisation at a time, we continue building a future with less suffering, fewer unwanted litters and more hope.

TOGETHER WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!

❣️RASCAL HAS BEEN FOUND and is home safe! They used Chamoni and her tracker dog Yuki to scent track him and he was inside a neighbours garage so they were able to retrieve him. He’s starving but unharmed.

🚨 MISSING CAT – FISH HOEK, CAPE TOWN 🚨
Please help us bring Rascal home.

Please share this post widely to help bring this special boy safely home.

Rascal was last seen during the early morning hours of Wednesday, 3 June 2026, at his new home in Upper Recreation Road, Fish Hoek, Cape Town.

He is a large, handsome ginger-and-white boy, almost 12 years old, and is new to the area. Rascal was recently adopted after the passing of his previous owner and may be frightened, confused and trying to find his way in unfamiliar surroundings.

Rascal is a Lucky Lucy Foundation kitty. He is neutered, microchipped and is already very much loved. Please check your garages, sheds, outbuildings, under decks and any sheltered spots where a scared cat may be hiding. Cats that find themselves in unfamiliar territory often remain close by and hide quietly rather than roam far.

If you have seen Rascal or have any information regarding his whereabouts, please contact us immediately.

If you have seen Rascal or have any information regarding his whereabouts, please contact us immediately.
