Change for the Better Foundation

We are a pro-life rescue organisation & our primary aim is to establish a culture of caring, giving, education & sterilization.

NPO # 138-142 / NPC # 2018/291418/08 Change for the better foundation was started on the 5th of January 2014. There is and will always be a need for animals to be protected from abuse and neglect. But this is where Change for the Better Foundation wants to change the people by proper education and understanding to treat animals as an equal and handle them with respect. We will also fight for the

laws to change, to get justice, where justice needs to be served. Get people involved in programs to uplift themselves and their community, to be able to feed and provide for themselves and their animals. No more cold nights, hot blistering days, being thirsty all the time, scratching the skin until it bleeds, trying to out run hunger pains, pining for love or pining for freedom. Every little soul deserves comfort and freedom from pain, hunger, thirst, and abuse. Every little soul deserves a loving family and a caring hand. This is our promise and we commit 100%!! Mission:

• Change for the better foundation’s mission will be to work in the less fortunate communities by bathing and dipping animals, providing basic health care by vaccination programs, deworming and spaying, providing food and adequate shelter that is comfortable and clean.
• We will provide veterinary care for those animals in desperate need.
• We will also provide temporary housing at our shelter for those animals in need of rehabilitation from disease or skin disorders.
• We will provide food and clothing for the people as well as basic necessities where funding and donations is available.
• We will provide tools to build and repair kennels, start vegetable gardens etc.
• We will host educational programs at schools.
• We will host educational programs where the unemployed can participate in to uplift their lives as well as those of the animals.
• We will work towards better rights for the animals in this country, harsher penalties against cruelty and abuse.

Food Appeal 🐾
Every second counts when it comes to keeping our rescues happy and healthy. While we currently have food on hand but our supplies are running quite low, and we want to make sure there's never an empty bowl.

To stay ahead of the curve, we’re looking to top up our pantry with 4 bags of cat food (10kg per bag) to cover an extra ten days and 5 bags of dog food (20kg per bag) to keep our pups well-fed through the end of the month."

Because we’ve hit our credit limit with our wonderful supplier, we need to clear our balance before we can unlock our usual discounted rates and keep these bowls filled.

Whether you’re a fellow pet parent or just have a soft spot for animals, your kindness can change everything for us today. Even if you can’t donate, sharing this post helps more than you know!

Every bit helps

🐾 Meet Robbie 🐾

This brave little boy was attacked by a dog and suffered serious injuries to his face — so severe that emergency surgery was needed to remove his eye. Despite everything he’s been through, Robbie remains the sweetest, most gentle soul.

A huge thank you to the incredible Dr Robinson from AWS Stellenbosch — the best vet ever — who, despite his already hectic workload, didn’t hesitate for a second and immediately performed the emergency surgery to save Robbie’s life. 🙏

He is currently recovering and will be up for adoption once he’s stronger. 💛

If you or someone you know can offer Robbie a loving forever home, please get in touch. He deserves all the peace and cuddles in the world after the week he’s had.

Sponsorship will be greatly appreciated. CFTBF or Change for the Better Foundation

Hey everyone! Big news: We've got some furry friends who need new homes, and we need your help! Our local shelter is feeling the squeeze from Cape Town's rules, so we're looking to find loving homes for our awesome cats and dogs and we have Lots of Kittens.

If you're a cat person, come check out our adorable kitties this Sunday. If dogs are more your style, swing by Saturday to meet some loyal pups. We've got older dogs (3 years and up) ready to bring some serious love into your life, and cats of all ages looking for a cozy spot to call home.

Adoption fees are R550 for dogs and cats over five years old, and R1000 for the younger ones. Only those truly ready for the commitment should apply, as we're all about finding the best matches for our furry friends. We do have a bit of a screening process to make sure everyone ends up in the right place.
Long Term fosters available for our senior citizens dogs

So, if you're ready to add some extra love and cuddles to your life, come on down and meet your new best friend!
