𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗯 𝗣𝗲𝘁 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 💉🩺

Today we celebrate the successful completion of our follow-up Eerste River Mass Animal Sterilisation Project.

Over the past few months our Inspectorate and Hospital Teams have worked tirelessly to ensure the success of this City of Cape Town co-funded mega drive.

Today we can proudly announce that over the past few months we collected, sterilised, vaccinated, microchipped, treated and safely returned 175 healthy pets to their grateful owners who join us in thanking the City of Cape Town for their continued enthusiastic support.

Going door-to-door allowed our collection teams to constructively engage with pet owners who were receptive and made aware of the benefits of pet sterilisation and proper pet care.

We also admitted 20 surrendered kittens and puppies from unplanned litters and treated numerous injuries ranging from superficial to very serious.

Thanks to everyone involved with this successful drive we now have the goodwill of yet another community who appreciate the value of our combined efforts to regularise pet ownership and end pet homelessness in the Cape Metro and most importantly a community who acknowledge the sentience of their furry companions.

Well done Team AWSome! 💙

Please open up your hearts and home for handsome Simba. 🤩💙

Simba has such an amazing and vibrant personality, he will have you head over heels in no time!

He is a goofy young boy (just the right amount), but so lovely to have around.💙
Simba does well in a group and he is such a good boy. He loves kids too.

Simba had a bad start to life being neglected by his previous owner and having a chain embedded into his neck.

He is ready for a fresh start. Please come and meet him. 😍💙

A stricken kitten thought to be a stray found stuck in a barbed razor wire barrier about two meters off the ground at a senior citizens residence in Hanover Park was rescued by our Inspectorate Team.

The team had to use a ladder to reach the kitten that had somehow firmly entangled himself in the sharp razor wire.

Once they reached the kitten one of the team had to hold her whilst another clipped away a section of the wire that had become firmly embedded in her tender underbelly to get her out.

She was then rushed to theatre where our surgical team had the difficult task of removing the length of wire that had penetrated her tummy.

Thankfully, the operation went off without a hitch and she is now recuperating in a foster home and doing very well.

𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗼𝘁-𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗼𝘁𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗯𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁 🐕😢💔

On Saturday November 9th Inspector Sivuyle Kilwa was dispatched to collect an unwanted adult male Rottweiler named Beast from a property in Blue Downs.

The owner made no mention of why he wanted to part with the dog other than to say that that he was too old and lazy to be of any benefit to him.

When Inspector Kilwa arrived at the property the owner was out and he was shown around by relative who lead him to an enclosed alleyway where he found a near-death Beast lying in a pool of urine being eaten alive by maggots.

After attending to Beast's immediate needs Inspector Kilwa called the owner who took serious exception to being questioned about the shocking condition of the dog.

What Inspector Kilwa was able to establish is that the owner had acquired another male Rottweiler that he planned to breed with.

Before leaving the property Inspector Kilwa conducted a comprehensive welfare check on the breeding pair resulting in the owner being instructed to take both dogs to his vet for an assessment and being warned to desist with his objectionable backyard breeding operation.

Sadly Beast succumbed to his neglect just moments after being carried into hospital.

We notified his owner that he had passed away and that we would be charging him for cruelty to animals and contravening the Municipal Animal Keeping By-Law and his response was typical of his evil sort that do not deserve to enjoy the unconditional love of a dog.

Whilst Beast's suffering has mercifully ended and his canine companions placed under our professional custodianship their owner will now face the full might of the law from a team that will never ever forget his pleading death stare before crossing the Rainbow Bridge in the arms of one of the most courageous and dedicated Animal Welfare Inspectors anyone could hope to have in their corner.

𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗶𝗿 𝗚𝘂𝗻 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 🐈😢💔

The Animal Welfare Society of South Africa is calling for a crackdown on the ownership of pellet guns the preferred weapon of cowards targeting innocent animals.

We want the authorities to acknowledge just how dangerous air rifles are and how they are being misused on a wholesale basis by air gun owners targeting defenceless and harmless animals.

Just yesterday we were faced with yet another critically injured patient – an adult neutered Ginger cat shot in the throat at close range by we are told a “spiteful neighbour”.

It appears as though he was shot with a hollowed-out pellet that shattered on impact resulting in multiple lead fragments becoming lodged in his throat making it almost impossible for him to breath.

He was rushed to theatre for an emergency tracheostomy and is now stable thanks to a massive team effort.

His distraught owner has opened a case of Animal Cruelty at Bothasig SAPS (CAS 65/11/2024) and our Inspectorate will help her ensure that justice is served.

There can be absolutely no justification for these heartless shootings that are on the rise and we together with our colleagues from the SA Police Services will do everything in our power to apprehend and bring those responsible to book.

“Anyone who believes that you can solve all problems “through the barrel of a gun” is part of the problem and represents a danger to society”, said AWS SA Spokesman Allan Perrins.

Our Inspectorate Department has been placed on high alert following the senseless shooting of squirrels in the Wynberg area.

We are determined to apprehend whoever is responsible for these senseless killings that has resulted in many squirrels dying slow and excruciatingly painful deaths.

Just last night our emergency after hours Inspectorate and Nursing team swung into action to try and save the life of a squirrel left mortally wounded and paralysed by a pellet that shattered his spine.

If you are able to assist us with our investigation then please contact our Inspectorate Department:
