When we are left speechless ... a Magnificent Gift Beyond Measure ... THANK YOU Nico Bruyns & Lizanne Bruyns for being absolutely AMAZING!
*ps: put the sound on for this one ...

We are bursting with pride and gratitude as we share something truly one-of-a-kind with you ... our cattery now has its very own magnificent boma, specially crafted with excellence and finished with our Lucky Lucy Foundation logo.

We’ve tested it during the day and night, and it is simply breathtaking. This masterpiece will become the heart of our upcoming Sleepovers, a place where stories will be told, laughter shared, friendships built and memories made for years to come.

This incredible gift was made possible by the generosity of Nico and Lizanne Bruyns, Febé, and Miriam who sponsored this masterpiece. Your unwavering support and the way you always step forward to make things easier for us is nothing short of extraordinary. The boma is more than just a structure, it’s a true work of art, a symbol of your kindness and a lasting reminder of the difference you continue to make in the lives of our animals and our team.

On behalf of the entire Lucky Lucy family, we send you our deepest thanks. Your caring hearts, dedication and generosity have left us humbled and inspired.

Nico and Lizanne, you mean the world to us and together with Febé and Miriam, you have made this centerpiece a possibility that will forever carry your love and light.

We SALUTE YOU!

🚨 Sterilisation Clinic – 9 September 2025 🚨

Despite advertising our upcoming clinic, we currently have only 9 bookings. Kitten season is approaching fast, yet so many female cats remain unsterilised. Every unsterilised cat means more unwanted kittens, little souls given away without thought for their futures.

We offer female sterilisations at just R440 and males at R310, yet we still need to beg for bookings. Last week alone we sterilised 7 community cats and every single one was already pregnant and the youngest was only 15 weeks old. Sterilisation is not just an animal welfare issue, it is a community responsibility - it is a necessity.

We need YOU! If you know a friend, colleague or family member with an unsterilised cat, please encourage them to book with us.

Please 🙏 share this post far and wide so we can make a real, positive impact on the lives of cats and their families.

Springtime Magic is showing off on the Farm 💐

Right now, our farm looks like something out of a storybook, a breathtaking carpet of flowers, each little bloom adding its own colour to the pages of this season. It’s a scene painted by nature herself and we’d love for you to be part of it.

Join us for our Saturday morning dog walks from 08:30 – 11:00, where our dogs lead the way through fields brushed with blossoms. Every step is a chapter in a story filled with wagging tails, fresh air and the wonder of spring that is approaching fast.

Not in the mood for a long walk? You’re most welcome to simply take a drive out, soak in the beauty of the farm, and visit our much-loved cattery too. The cattery is open from 10:30 - 13:00 and please remember our entrance fee is R20 per person.

Come breathe in the colours, walk with us and let the flowers tell their story.

We’ve been keeping a little secret ...

On Tuesday, a wonderful team visited our Sanctuary and spent some time with us (and of course, our cats).

If you’ve never visited us before, tomorrow morning you might just get a front row seat to what our cats are really up to…

And if you already know some of our quirky personalities, who knows, you might just see them making an appearance too!

📺 Tune in to the Expresso Morning Show tomorrow on SABC 3 between 06:00 – 09:00.

⚠️ In animal welfare, we don’t only stand for cats and dogs – we stand for all animals. 🐄🐑🐐

Out of the 158 dogs currently in our care, 88 of them are already 7 years and older. Many of our golden oldies are living with arthritis, which means daily treatment is part of their routine, helping to keep them happy, comfortable and moving with ease.

Of course, daily medication also means treat time and our seniors know it well! 🥰 Some of them patiently sit and wait for us to make our rounds, their eyes lighting up when it’s finally their turn for that special “treat.”

We absolutely love our old dogs. They’ve walked so many journeys, each with stories written in the silver on their muzzles and the wisdom in their eyes. To us, they are treasures and we are honoured to give them the love, comfort and dignity they so deserve in their golden years.

If you’d like to help us care for our seniors, whether by contributing towards their arthritis medication or through any donation towards their daily care - it would mean the world to them (and to us). Every bit of kindness makes their golden years shine brighter.

A HUGE AND HEARTFELT THANK YOU to Hannelize Coetzee, Yolande Olhaus and Liriet Swanepoel for sponsoring Angel and Tiger's sterilisation procedures - please know that you have added some magic to their lives!

A heartfelt thank you to Hannelize, Yolande, and Liriet for so kindly making the sterilisation of Angel and Tiger a reality. Today was their big day!

Thank you for covering the full amount of R930 (Hannelize - R530, Yolande - R250 & Liriet - R150) for both procedures.

Maria works part-time, just two days a week, and sadly isn’t in a position to contribute towards their sterilisations at this time. These two special kitties are deeply loved by their family, who were waiting eagerly for them when we brought them home this afternoon.

Now Maria can rest assured that her beloved companions won’t get into mischief and that Angel will never contribute to the overpopulation of unwanted cats.

Because of you, Angel and Tiger can remain carefree for as long as they wish, enjoying a happy, secure life with Maria and her family.

Thank you for choosing to make such a meaningful difference in the lives of these precious ones and the people who love them.

alCATraz Garden ~ Their Paws May Have Stopped, But Their Hearts Still Beat Here ...
A small place in our garden where their gentle paws will never be forgotten!

We are often asked, “What do you need?” or “Can you use these items?”
Our answer is always the same: You can give us anything, and we will find a way to make it work - literally.

Sometimes it takes a little while to get everything in place, but once we do, we make it happen. If you have anything lying around that’s no longer in use, please consider giving it a new purpose and a new meaning here with us.

One of our most recent projects is incredibly close to our hearts. Although it took some time to begin, we have finally brought it to life - the Forever in Our Hearts Wall, lovingly inscribed with “Gone from sight, forever by our side.” This wall will carry the names of the kitties who have passed on, honouring their kindred spirits and the pawprints they left on the world during their time here.

The wall is part of our larger Memorial Garden, now named The Gentle Paws Memorial, which holds the inscription “Their paws may have stopped, but their hearts still beat here.” Designed in the shape of a heart, this garden has been slowly growing since we first began it a few years ago.

From here forward, we will nurture and grow this special space as donations allow, so that every name and every story can live on.

When done - it will be a place for quiet reflection in the midst of a noisy world - a small space of peace, love and remembrance.

If you have a special garden ornament, pot, bench or plants you want to donate, please make contact with us at [email protected] or on our whatsapp nr 072 779 7424 or just pop in on a Saturday or Sunday any time between 11:00 - 13:00.
