STERILISE 1000 ANIMALS AND PREVENT SUFFERING

Surviving two world wars, the Anglo-Boer War, drought and a global pandemic is no small feat for any business – let alone a charity that does not receive government funding. Yet the Cape of Good Hope SPCA has not only survived for 15 decades, it has thrived, thanks to its own fundraising efforts and support from compassionate people who keep the organisation’s doors open to animals in need.

 “The excellent service to animals for the past 150 years would not have been possible without our loyal supporters and animal lovers. For this, we say thank you and we salute you,” said Mqabuko Moyo Ndukwana, Chief Executive Officer of the Cape of Good Hope SPCA.

Although established in 1872, records prior to 1896 were lost. The earliest statistics – for the period 1896 to 1905 – show that the Cape of Good Hope SPCA attended to 15,041 animals and 9,044 cruelty cases over that decade.

By comparison, in the past 10 years, more than 95,000 stray and 108,000 unwanted animals have been cared for by the Cape of Good Hope SPCA. In addition, its animal hospital treated over 130,000 sick, injured or dying patients and sterilised more than 82,000 animals to prevent unwanted litters; while the Inspectorate conducted over one million investigations into cruelty.

82,000 animals sterilised in 10 years is an incredible accomplishment, and it wouldn't have been possible without the support of people like you! Thank you for helping to prevent unwanted puppies and kittens from being born into an unkind world. Your support makes a world of difference.
