Change for the Better Foundation

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.
(66)

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.

Microchip event - R150 per animal!🌟🌟🌟

Hundreds of animals are lost daily, and millions annually. The lost and found groups are exceptionally busy to try and reunite the lost animals with their families. Sadly, there are many many more that don’t reach the lost and found groups, that are scared, get hurt and need to fend for themselves.

If only these animals were microchipped, they would have been reunited with only 1 scan and 1 phone call.

A microchip is a permanent identification that is tamper proof. The microchip is injected under the skin with little to no discomfort to the animal. It is automatically also proof of ownership in the case of theft.

Your animal has the best chance to be reunited with you if he/she has been microchipped.

Save a life – microchip your pet!

The Microchip event:
Saturday 31 August 2024 9am to 12

Brackenfell Pets shop hours:
Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm
Saturday 9am to 3pm
Sunday closed
Public holiday 9am to 2pm

05/07/2024

Due to a weather alert from WeatherSa forecasting strong winds, cold weather, and disruptive rain on Sunday, we have made the decision to close the shelter to the public on Sunday, July 7, 2024, to ensure the safety of our volunteers and visitors. We remain hopeful that the impact will be less severe than last year, and our prepared measures will help minimize any effects.

We are also currently experiencing issues with our telephone and WhatsApp connectivity and are actively working to resolve them. In the meantime, please direct any queries to us via email at [email protected].

Please stay safe and take necessary precautions.

❌ 🚫Stop dumping kittens🚫 ❌

To the person who dumped these 5kittens in a box next to the busy Botfontein Road, SHAME on you!

These nunus were riddled with fleas, scared out of their little minds and lucky to have been spotted by a member of the public. They are around 5weeks old and sadly their unsterilized mommy (where ever SHE may be) will continue to add more and more to the alarming overpopulation.

Thankfully we had an available foster mommy who will care for them during the next 2-3weeks until they are ready for adoption. They have been dewormed, deflead and cleaned from the f***s stuck on their feet. Good food, safety, warmth, love and care is what these unwanted nunus deserve.

We are down to almost zero in our bank account. These kittens would need to still be tested for Felv/Fiv and vaccinated once they are the appropriate age. If you are able to sponsor even ONE of them, we will be honoured that the sponsor chooses the name for the kitty they choose. We are leaving it up to each sponsor to decide how much they want to pledge.

Pls whatsapp us on 0835055193 with your pledge. Apart from these 5nunus there are at least 12 MORE kittens with mommies currently in our care who also needs sponsorship. Sad sad sad....

Overpopulation WILL CONTINUE as long as people dont sterilize their pets. Its NEVER an unexpected litter. If your animal is not sterilized you CAN EXPECT it!

🌈💔 What a sad, sad world we live in...💔🌈

One of 68 branches....
So many souls....

When will our society SEE?
CARE?

Heartbreaking. 💔

Today we would like to take a moment to think of all the animals that crossed the rainbow bridge last month 🕯✝️

And to each staff member who cared, fed and showed love to each one 💙

Please sterilise your animals, and do not support breeders! 🙏

🐾🐱We did not choose motherhood 🐱🐾

Let this be their last mothers day and gift towards a spay of these gorgeous mommies.

❌🍫 We dont want expensive chocolates
❌🍷 We dont want wine
❌🎂 We dont want cake
❌💐 We dont want flowers
❌🎁 We dont want gifts

💕💖💕 All we ask for is the GIFT OF LIFE💕💖💕
We never asked to be stray, to be feral, to be pets forced to have litter after litter.

It PAINS us when our kittens die.
Or suffer, or sick or starving.
It PAINS us when they get given away as free objects.
Or become stray or feral themselves. Falling pregnant themselves. From as early as 4months. Babies having babies.
Or end up paying the inevitable price that claim so many thousands of unwanted pets. Euthanasia.

Yes we know what this world does to us.
We are cats.
We live the tough life as strays or ferals.
Humans failed us.
We feel. We see. We hurt. We mourn.
We DONT want more babies.

We are thankful we have a temporary safe haven till our babies can find responsible and forever homes.
And then we can finally stop.
We can live a life without constant breeding.
We are the lucky ones. We will go home to our feeders. When the time comes.

All we ask for this Mothers Day.
PLEASE gift us the means to be sterilized.
No amount is too small.
Pay tribute to your human mommy - here or gone forever -
For this is the ultimate gift of love to or from any mom.
Feeling worthy and loved, having the choice not to suffer, instead the gift to heal
