Sterilise animals in Cape Town & prevent suffering

Dear Friends,

Good people like you have helped to sterilise 100 animals in Langa, Cape Town so far – and if you’re one of the amazing men and women who made this happen, thanks again! 

It’s a good start to achieving our target of 1 000 sterilisations in that area by this time next year. But with 900 spays to go, there’s still much work to do…  

If you saw how many neglected animals roam the streets in underprivileged areas like Langa, you’d see the desperate face of pet over-population in the skinny, starving dogs who search for food in gutters … but it doesn’t have to stay that way!

By spaying 1 000 animals, the birth of an estimated 9 500 puppies and kittens is prevented over a year – that’s thousands less animals in harm’s way.

Your gift of a spay is compassion in action. It stops newborn kittens or puppies from being thrown away in plastic bags like rubbish, dumped, drowned, or given away to anyone – including dog fighters.

Thank you for supporting this project. Thank you for stepping up for animals.

Kind regards,

Joette Emerton

Dear Supporter,

Every day, I witness the daily struggles of the animals affected by uncontrolled backyard breeding. The numbers are alarming—20,350 unwanted and stray animals will find their way to our facilities this year alone. And, behind every admission, is a heart-breaking story of neglect. Nothing unwanted is ever treasured. These animals arrive starved, diseased or injured and in pain.

When other organisations are at capacity or struggling with resources, they turn to us. Our open-door admissions policy means we never turn any animal away, but the buck stops with us. There is no organisation to help us shoulder our burden, there is only you.

We are incredibly grateful for the support you've shown towards our sterilisation project on GlobalGiving. Each sterilisation you've funded prevented thousands of unwanted animals from being born. As an example, by sterilising 1,000 animals, we can prevent the birth of an estimated 9,500 animals in the next 12 months.

We must act now. And we are. With targeted pet sterilisation drives in hotspot areas we can prevent cruelty before it starts.

Sterilisation is so much more than a solution - it’s the answer to the current pet overpopulation crisis, the untold suffering of unwanted animals and the volumes coming through our doors. And when we’ve done enough, every animal in every home will be wanted and because they’re wanted, treasured.

When animals turn to us, we can only turn to you and we’re so thankful that we can. Please turn your compassion into action again. We’ll step in, but we can’t do it alone. Sponsor a Spay, even just one will prevent the suffering of thousands.

Yours sincerely,

Moyo Ndukwana

Chief Executive Officer
