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

Zora and Zee

When the car in front of Miriam Bezuidenhout drove over a stray Jack Russell in the middle of the road in July 2017, she didn’t think twice to slam on the brakes to help. ...read more
Ginger Persian cat Gucci went missing from his home in Clifton in mid-December 2016. It was over six months before he was found… ...read more
On 28 June 2017, animal lover and networker Yanou Olderwagen added a post to her Facebook page, pleading for someone to adopt two Jack Russell Terriers, Hailey and Sammy. Along with the photos was a video in which it was clear that the male, Sammy, was absolutely terrified of anything and everything, especially humans. ...read more

A leg for Leggy

23rd Aug, 2017
The speckled bird with his big, yellow eyes was found in the garden of an Edgemead resident, his leg dangling uselessly. Despite his injury, it took me some time to catch the Dikkop (also called the Spotted thick-knee) and, when I did, it was clear that there was nothing that could be done to save the leg. ...read more
