Sussie decided to make her great escape out of her enclosure, her second time in three months.

When I asked why she kept escaping she proudly said “Yes. I like going out”, I explained to her that it is so dangerous for her outside without her mom and that she could get badly hurt, to which she replied “Oh, I didn't know, Okay I can go back now“. When I asked if she knows where she is she said she didn't and showed me some of the things she had seen.

Her mom found some of the places. But there was no sign of her unfortunately. I explained to Sussie that although she didn't know where she was, she would need to find her own way home by following her own steps back because she was just a little girl in a big world and that it would be easier because her mom might walk past her.

Two days later I got word that Sussie made it home all by her own, brave self.

Hopefully this adventure taught her not to escape again and that she needs to stay home where it's safe.

I normally don't mix my personal life with business, but Second Chance Sanctuary needs urgent assistance.

RED ALERT

URGENT APPEAL FOR FOOD

Hi everyone, as it stands, our cupboards are bare, we have nothing left except for tonight.

We have a difficult choice to make by either needing to start rehoming the sanctuary cats who have called this place home for most of their lives or fighting to keep this place going. We don't want to do this but at the end of the day we need to look at the complete closure of the sanctuary and this is it. No donations means no cat food and no cat food means that we simply can't let the cats stay.

I always try and not appeal for food, but it's desperate times.

This is a heartbreaking thing and I want people to know that it's not like we have been taking cats in, it's been almost a year since our last intake. I also know that I am responsible for these souls and will take care of them until suitable homes are found.

If anyone is able to assist with food, please let me know, we urgently need:

Chicken liver 500g per day (R25 each)
Pamper Tin Food (cheapest) 4 per day (R27 per tin)
Dry Food 10kg per week (R370 per 4kg of Feline Cuisine ) *please note that we have tried numerous brands and they refuse to eat anything else, so buying anything else is a waste unfortunately.

Any amount, no matter how small will help us. You can also arrange for a Checkers or Pick n Pay delivery by asking us for the address.

Pebbles decided to make a great escape from home in the morning, he got completely turned around and started running all over the streets.

By the time his parents realised he was gone, Pebbles had moved away from the close vicinity of his home.

Once I was contacted I immediately picked up that he was at a tuck shop. I thought that there couldn't be many tuck shops in the area - wrong, there were many tuck shops in the area, especially ones with lots of people.

His loving parents went to each and every tuck shop and although most had said they hadn't seen him, it actually turned out that one tuck shop customer had decided to take Pebbles home.

Fortunately his parents managed to locate him safe and sound in the evening. Luckily he wasn't stolen for good.

If you have a doggo, always consider having a collar with a tag on, you never know if your pooch might make a great escape due to a gate malfunction, thunderstorms, or other factors.

Diggy is a loving cat who loves to investigate new things, but one investigation turned into him getting hopelessly lost from his new house.

I was contacted by Diggy’s frantic dad 4 days after he had gone missing and there had still been no sign of him.

When I connected with him the area I saw was clear, but all the markers showed that he was far from home, so I had my work cut out for me, finding him through on the ground search methods would prove to be too difficult. His dad had done everything he could, posted all over social media, sent messages on WhatsApp to the neighbourhood, contacted all the vets and the SPCA in their area.

I explained this to Diggy and told him that he needed to be brave and either show himself to people because so many were looking for him, or make his own way home.

Diggy then started trying to make his way home, and by doing that his energy started to go all over the place because he was frantically looking for home. I picked him up in a residential area and then the bush with a stream and then back in a residential area. Keeping Diggy calm through this process was also hard because he wasn't following his instincts properly due to stress. I had to tell him to remain calm, be a super brave boy and to follow his heart and mind - that it will help him get home.

Fortunately Diggy listened to my advice and he responded well to the loving words and encouragement from his dad and mom. On day 6 of him being missing he walked through the door, hungry and a little scratched up on his nose, but he didn't leave his dad's side once he got home.

So today Diggy gets to sleep safely at his house, and eat as much as he wants.

Welcome home Diggy!

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A NATURAL SOLUTION TO YOUR PESKY RODENT PROBLEM?

We are DESPERATELY looking for stables/farms/small-holdings where a family of feral cats can "work" in exchange for a small daily bowl of food. The most URGENT CASE is for a Mom and kittens as the feeder's home is on the market and she cannot take the family with her. They will all be sterilised before we bring them to your premises!

PLEASE e-mail [email protected] or whatsapp
