Dear Friend,
In a ground-breaking collaborative effort, six animal welfare organisations united under the banner of “We Step In Together” to tackle the pet overpopulation crisis head-on. In February, in honour of World Spay Day, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA and five other organisations came together to sterilise an incredible 171 animals—92 dogs and 79 cats—in a single day in Lavender Hill.
This powerful initiative demonstrates the impact of unified action in the fight against neglect, abandonment, and cruelty. Your valued support is a part of this.
Lavender Hill is a community that, despite their many challenges, is rich in compassion and care for their animals. Of the 171 animals seen, only one dog was found to be underweight and showing early signs of mange. It was an honour to support them by providing a service to their pets that will not only prevent the birth of unwanted litters but also help them live happier, healthier lives.
Every pet that was sterilised also received:
Building on the success of the first Lavender Hill sterilisation drive, the second unified campaign in March saw 100 more animals sterilised - proving once again that when we step in together, more animals get help, more lives are saved and more suffering is prevented.
We extend our gratitude and thanks to everyone for aligning with the SPCA as advocates for sterilisation, one of the few proactive tools we have in the fight against animal neglect and cruelty.
By Stepping In Together, we can create real, lasting change. Every sterilised pet brings us one step closer to a world where no animal is unwanted, neglected, or abandoned.
Thank you for your support!
Kind regards,
Joette Emerton
