🌿 Not Everything Is Always Black and White 🌿
I like to believe that as an Animal Welfare Inspector, it’s not always just black and white. Sometimes, we cross paths with people or organisations who truly love their animals and are trying their best — but, like all of us, they struggle at times.
We all have that bit of pride that stops us from asking for help — whether because we don’t want to be a burden or because we’re shy. But when someone in animal rescue is struggling, it’s not always the right thing to come down hard on them. Sometimes, simply asking “How can I help?” opens more doors than judgment ever could.
Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t always the case. But it’s my duty as an inspector to make sure I’ve done everything I can — to educate, to help, and to let people know they’re not alone.
Recently, I came across one such rescue. There were many conflicting opinions about how I should handle the situation, but as most of you know by now… I’m stubborn 😅 I listen to everyone, but at the end of the day, I follow my heart and do what feels right.
I reached out to two other amazing organisations, and together we arranged a clean-up and support day.
💚 A huge thank you to Fur Get Me Knot and Giving is Living- Cape Town These ladies jumped right in, understood the assignment, and helped make a real difference.
Our work is not done here yet. We desperately need someone who can sponsor a gardener once a week to help us maintain the hard work these ladies have done and keep the space safe and clean for the animals. 🌱
🙏 If anyone can help, please contact me, Erzsi, at 📞 072 283 0824.
Together, we can keep making a difference — one act of kindness at a time. 🐾💚
