The Kloof and Highway SPCA recently faced an overwhelming admission of abandoned animals during the festive season, with over 750 animals entering their care in December alone. But this determined team has chosen to look at the brighter side of their anti-animal cruelty mission.
Kloof, South Africa (21 January 2025) – The festive season has been a strenuous and rather gut-wrenching period for the champions of animal welfare down at the Kloof and Highway SPCA compound.
With over 750 abandoned, unwanted and stray animals entering their doors in just December alone, staff have been devastated and exhausted, to say the least.
But, instead of dwelling on trying to comprehend the cruelty they have witnessed and endured, the Kloof and Highway SPCA have chosen to focus on the positives. These include many happy adoptions, successful clinic cases and a supportive inspectorate department that has continued to open cases and make sure that cruelty isn’t tolerated.
The welfare society also takes this moment of gratitude to thank its supporters who frequented the Thrift Shops, brought their families through to the Tea Garden and chose to adopt instead of shop for a new pet, ultimately giving them a happy home.
“We also thank those of you who decided to donate your second-hand items so that we can continue to raise the monies necessary to continue the invaluable work we do.
“You chose to support our cause. Were it not for our amazing community which provides the light at the end of the tunnel it would be times like these that would break an animal welfare organisation. However, we know with you by our side supporting us through 2025 we will be stronger in our fight against animal cruelty,” the SPCA thanked.
