When we first met Stanley Jacobs and his beautiful cream-and-white dog, Meira, on Doring Road in Vrygrond, it was simply to treat her skin allergy but, upon closer inspection, we noticed that her left eye was closed and watering quite severely. Stanley was very happy for us to take Meira to be seen by a vet… but under no circumstances was he going to agree that we spay her. ...read more
It’s lunchtime on Monday 14th August 2017 when in walk three young lads from Lewisham, Krugersdorp. They pass a storm water pipe on the way to and from school every day; the concrete pipe runs under a busy road and, inside, a mother dog and her pups have made their home. ...read more
In 2013 I rescued a little Yorkie from a caged environment (not a breeder), where he was cold, afraid and hungry for both food and love. I took him home to the sanctuary where he could run free among many dogs. But he didn’t; he wouldn’t let himself be free. ...read more
A homeowner living in a complex in the Mount Edgecombe (KZN) area contacted me asking for help in trapping a black cat that had been eating regularly at her place for the last six months. She’d noticed that its skin condition was poor and it was very thin when it arrived, and she needed help to get it vet-checked and sterilised, if needed. ...read more

Lucky Lewis

15th Sep, 2017
Less than a month after his second birthday and at the start of the Father’s Day long weekend, little Peanut found himself all alone at the vet in Graaff-Reinet. His owners had requested that he be put to sleep because he’d managed to escape their yard. Luckily for him, the lady at the vet decided to contact Camdeboo Sterilisation Initiative (CSI) to ask if they could find Peanut a new, safe home. ...read more

Rescuing Rae

13th Sep, 2017
The tiny tabby kitten was starving, emaciated and so dehydrated that he cried when touched, no matter how gently. He was so weak he could not stand or walk; he was also suffering from hypoproteinaemia (low protein/protein deficiency), was extremely anaemic and had a heavy worm burden. But, where there’s life there’s hope – and we were determined to give him the best chance at life we could… ...read more

Our Rosie

8th Sep, 2017
The little Maltese Poodle-mix lay near death, collapsed amongst drifts of rubbish in a ditch. Her golden curls were matted into lumps, her elderly body was weak and emaciated, and she had very few teeth left in her tired mouth. Hout Bay animal rescuer Shaygam Newman, founder of Shaygam’s Shelter, moved swiftly, lifting her out of the hell she’d fallen into and rushing her to the vet. ...read more

Mr Grumpy goes home

5th Sep, 2017
In June 2017, the country watched, horrified, as most of the Garden Route was engulfed in rampant wildfires. Aside from the toll on life for both people and animals, hundreds of pets went missing from their homes, many of them cats which bolted in fear and got lost or whose homes were destroyed. ...read more
The tiny, spotted kitten was dragging his hind legs through the dirt, unable to stand or walk, when he was found on a farm in Delmas, Mpumalanga, in July 2017. But this was no ordinary kitten; this fluffy, spotted guy was a baby Serval cat (Leptailurus serval) of no more than three weeks old. Being a wild animal, he needed special care and handling. ...read more

Our Crazy Baby

1st Sep, 2017
Whilst sitting in the Wimpy on a Tuesday at lunchtime, waiting for my coffee to arrive, I went onto Facebook, as I normally do. I came upon a picture of this poor dog that was so totally shocking and heartbreaking that I could not believe my eyes. Seeing how this poor fur baby had just decided that she’d had enough of life and went to lie down, literally giving up, I wondered what had happened to her for her to have come to that point. ...read more
