🔥 THE FIRE ISN'T BURNING BUT ANIMALS STILL ARE! 🔥

You’d think with the flames gone, the crisis would be over. For people, maybe. For wounded animals, the burning hasn't stopped.

Time is running out. Injured animals are out there suffering, and after today, it may be too late to save them. 💔

Thankfully, we're fueled by the kindness of Paul & Neighbours from Mowbray! 🙏❤️ We have energy drinks, booster bars and energy gummies keeping us going strong when it matters most. 🥵💪

Thank You Paul & Neighbours for giving us the stamina to keep searching, for the eyedrops that are keeping our eyes clear so we don't miss a thing, and for the medical supplies that are enabling us to treat minor injuries—ours and the animals'!

🙏 After Today, we will be too late, every second counts. Every life matters. Thank you for keeping us strong.

The search might end today, but the need doesn't. Emergency rescues don't stop. Please Keep us ready? ❤️🙏

Money well spent, don’t you think? 😉

🌟 HAPPY TAILS: Lazy naps, endless spoils, and whole hearts🌟

🐾 Hi everyone, it’s us—Amy, Askrim, Bixby, Bubbles, Casper, Cindy, Flame, Gucci, Lupin, Mixie and Rocket! Our tails are wagging, and our hearts are full because of YOU. 🐶🐱💖

Thanks to your kindness, support, and shares, we’ve all found the loving homes we dreamed of! Each of us had our own journey—some of us were shy, some were full of energy, and some had been waiting a little longer for the right family. But now, we are exactly where we belong!

🐾 Gucci has settled in beautifully! He enjoys couch naps, keeps watch at the gate, and was spoiled with a fresh groom. A true happy tail!

🐶 Bixby stole his family's hearts from day one and is now the beloved baby of the home. Thank you for giving him a second chance!

❤ Rocket, our little deaf warrior, found love, safety, and adventure with his family. He may not hear, but he listens with his whole heart.

From the bottom of our paws, THANK YOU for believing in second chances and opening your hearts to rescue animals. Every adoption is a life saved, a heart healed, and a family made complete.

To all our furry friends still waiting—your turn is coming soon! Never give up hope. 💖

🔥 THE SEARCH CONTINUES – EVERY LIFE MATTERS 🔥

Our Search & Rescue Team is still on the mountain today, working hand in hand with the relevant authorities to cover as much ground as possible in the safest, most efficient way. With a vast, unforgiving landscape ahead we need to work smart!

💔 The heartbreaking reality is that many baby birds and slow-moving creatures never had a chance to escape the fire’s wrath. But in the devastation, a miracle—a single survivor has been found. A tortoise, trapped by chance in an uncovered manhole, was left untouched by the flames that must've raged over him. A single misstep that could've spelled disaster became his saving grace.

Against all odds, this little guy cheated death twice but only because we found him.

💙 Searching is hard work, but for even one life saved, it’s worth every step. Our fire-trained team is doing everything they can, even wetting small, smoking areas of ground as they go.

Thank you for your support that's kept us searching and saving animals. We couldn't do this without your support and we are so grateful.

Please keep supporting this incredible team 🙏❤️ They will keep going until they're sure no Animal has been left behind.

🔥 THE FIRE MAY BE CONTAINED, BUT OUR MISSION CONTINUES. 🔥

The Table Mountain fire has been contained, and while flare-ups persist in Redhill, the blaze has finally lost most of its fury. We are deeply grateful to the brave firefighters who worked tirelessly to bring this monster to its knees.

Now, our Search & Rescue Team pushes forward into the aftermath. The areas we are searching have been deemed safe for our fire-trained team, but they are anything but easy—hot, dusty, and fragile, where solid ground crumbles to ash with a single misstep.

We are combing every crevice, every scorched patch of earth, searching for survivors. It’s a massive area, steep and unforgiving, but we are walking a grid, following the faintest tracks in the ash, and literally leaving no stone unturned in our search for the injured.

Slow-moving creatures like tortoises stood little chance against the flames—many did not make it. But it is the thought of those still clinging to life, suffering in silence, waiting for help, that keeps us going. They are who we have come for.

💙 THANK YOU! Your support has kept us searching and kept us treating!

🔹 HOW YOU CAN HELP:
💧 Leave shallow water dishes out for displaced wildlife—add stones for small animals to perch on.

Simple words that spoke volumes. 🐾

"Jy oraait My Boy? Pappa’s hier." 💙

On World Spay Day, we stepped in together—and the impact was life-changing. 171 animals sterilised. Thousands of unwanted litters were prevented. But beyond the numbers, we're celebrating something even more powerful—a community’s endearing love for their animals. You need your sound up for this video! 📣

Despite life’s hardships, these pets are family. Their owners brought them to be sterilised, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for ticks and fleas —not just because it was free, but because they care. Their dogs and cats went home with full bellies, collars, tags, and most importantly, a healthier future and it was an honour to be of service to them.

🐶🐱 This is what happens when we step in together. We unite our strengths. We pool our resources and We get more done! Paws-A-While AfriPaw TEARS Animal Rescue Howlelujah Foundation Aid 4 Animals In Distress

🚴‍♂️ Same Passion, Different Saddle! 🏇
Inspector Mark Syce isn’t trading in his love for horses—he's just swopping saddles! And he's going to be hanging onto handlebars for a full 109KM in the upcoming Cape Town Cycle Tour .

Why? Because horses like Lady Grace don’t get to choose their race. She was forced to pull a cart loaded with a broken car, starving and almost lame. Now, she’s safe, but her recovery isn’t free. Help for Horses is expensive!

💙 Inspector Mark’s heart beats for horses. He needs your help to keep them safe. If your heart beats hoofbeats too, back Mark’s ride with your donation today! 🏇💙 👇

🐢🔥 JUST IN TIME! FAST ACTION SAVES 6 OVERHEATING TORTOISES FROM TABLE MOUNTAIN FIRE! 🔥🐢

Today, amidst the charred remains of animals who never had a chance, our team found life—and saved it!

Our Search & Rescue Team combed through the scorched aftermath of the Table Mountain fire, where they found six tortoises struggling on the burnt, ground. Their shells and legs were blackened with ash, their bodies hot to the touch —but they were alive.

💦 FAST ACTION SAVED THEM! Equipped with portable water hoses, our team cooled and hydrated the tortoises—a simple but life-saving act. Two of the tortoises had minor burn wounds, which were treated by our qualified first responders before all six were moved to safety. They will be released into a safe, lush area later this evening.

These six were the lucky ones.

🔥 But our work is far from over. Our search continues tomorrow, at first light. Please keep our Inspectors searching and saving with a donation of any amount made here: 👇https://pulse.ly/srcy9ugkgv

🚨 FIRST CASUALTIES FOUND – WE NEED TO ACT FAST! 🚨

The fire on Table Mountain has left a devastating path, and the first casualties have already been found.

It’s unbearably hot – the sun is scorching, and the ground is hotter but we can't wait. The search area is huge and finding casualties this soon means there are many more out there who need us – and we need to find them quickly!

🔥 URGENT: SPCA SEARCH & RESCUE DEPLOYED AFTER TABLE MOUNTAIN FIRE – WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🔥

The fire that tore through Table Mountain overnight may soon be contained, but for the animals caught in its path, the crisis is far from over. Our Inspectors are on the ground right now, ready to search for and help injured wildlife—and they won’t stop until they are sure that every animal in need of help has received it.

🐾 HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP RIGHT NOW:

💧 Put out shallow dishes of water for displaced animals. Add stones so small animals can safely perch to drink.
👀 Be on the lookout for injured or displaced animals in your area.
📦 If you find an injured animal and it is safe to do so:
✅ Gently place it in a ventilated cardboard box lined with a towel / if the animal is burned, a sheet.
✅ Keep the animal calm by covering the box and keeping it away from pets and people.
✅ Call us immediately on 021 700 4158/9 – we will come to you!

🚷 STAY SAFE: Trails in Newlands, Devil’s Peak, and Maclear’s Beacon are closed due to fire damage and risks of rockfalls. Please avoid these areas to allow emergency teams to work.

And just like that, the day is done. ✅💙

Exhausted but fulfilled, we pack up knowing that today changed lives—not just for the animals who came through our doors, but for the countless others who will never be born into suffering. 🐾💔➡️💖

This wasn’t just a day of sterilisation. It was a day of prevention, of breaking cycles, of creating a future where fewer animals face neglect, abandonment, and hardship. 🚫🐶🐱➡️🏡💛

To everyone who made this possible—thank you. The SPCA, Paws-a-While, Howlelujah Foundation, TEARS, Afripaw, and Aid4Aid stood together today and YOU stood right there with us. 🙌❤️

Mid Morning and the Work is in Full Swing!

It's been a whirlwind morning, and the impact is already undeniable. Animals are arriving in waves—some scared, some curious, but all on the path to a better life. The first sterilisations are complete, and recovery kennels are filling up with sleepy patients who will never have to bring another litter into a world that can't care for them.

The teams from the SPCA, Paws-a-While, Howlelujah Foundation, TEARS, Afripaw, and Aid4Aid are working tirelessly— prepping for surgery, monitoring recovery, comforting animals, and transport teams are still bringing in more.

Every spay, every neuter, is a life changed. A future rewritten. What a way to spend World Spay Day 2025!

We’re pushing forward with everything we’ve got—because today, suffering stops before it starts. 💙

🚨 SHOCKING ANIMAL CRUELTY IN SEA POINT 🚨

A Spotted Eagle Owl 🦉was brutally beaten to death on the Sea Point Promenade in full view of horrified bystanders. 💔 Thanks to the brave individuals who came forward and the swift action of our Chief Inspector Jaco Pieterse, the suspect has been arrested and now faces criminal charges.

This senseless act of violence that left the Owl with not one unbroken bone, cannot go unanswered for.
