Update: Uber has an an application for adoption. Dumped in an Uber at DARG and still waiting. 😔We simply don't understand how other cats are being adopted and this beautiful boy is still waiting patiently. His little face looks enquiringly at every person who comes to his window. Uber is loving, calm, gentle and good with other cats. His forever home must be out there somewhere. We are not sure of his age but he is a young cat. Please share his pic so his finds his mum or dad.
For more info on Uber, please contact 021 790 0383 II [email protected]

"Good people are those who love animals. Animals are special creatures, and anyone who has had the good fortune to have a relationship with them knows well.
Animal nobility is a real teaching. Thanks to them, we are more modest, more empathetic, more affectionate people. They give us their love unconditionally, without asking for anything in return, they do us good."
- Keanu Reeves

Allow us to introduce you to the youngest and possibly the cutest (sorry, Slug) member of the Cape Dachshund Rescue crew. This little guy is two months old and was responsibly surrendered to us so that we can find him the very best forever home.

Before you all start rushing to send in your applications to adopt him, there is something you'll need to know.

He was born blind.

Not that this setback stops him at all. Oh no! He spends his days at Vienna's Village with foster mom, Auntie Jayne, playing with his toys and his new friends at day care. But his bestest friend in the whole world is Rafa, a very handsome long-haired Dachshund who is not so mad on humans but adores puppies and him in particular. They spend hours happily playing together and have the greatest fun.

Because he is the sweetest thing imaginable and just so lovable, lots of gifts have come his way so he would like to thank his Auntie Lisa of Creature Comforts for giving him two little jackets to fit his tiny body (check him out - doesn't he look smart!) and Auntie Sophia for his two soft and cuddly blankies and two specially made Fuglies with rattles inside to help with his senses. Fortunately, as with most Dachshunds, there's nothing wrong with his hearing!

Auntie Jean at Noordhoek Vet examined the little chap and confirmed that he is perfect in every way - except for his eyes. She is of the opinion that it is possible he can distinguish light and dark but certainly has very little vision, if any. There is no indication of pain or distress.

Our next plan of action is to consult one of the top ophthalmologists in the Cape to seek her opinion just to ensure there is nothing sinister going on in his dear little head.

If you would like to donate towards the cost of his visit to Auntie Eyes, and any future treatment, we would be so grateful.

Please send a copy of proof of payment to [email protected] so Slug can send you a personal thank you on behalf of his new friend.

We will be posting regular updates and photographs of his adventures so watch this space.

Calling all busy women. We hope that you'll join us next Thursday evening for an enlightening and enriching workshop where we'll be looking at tips and tools that you can walk away with to implement into your daily lives to help you de-stress, get re-vitalised, look at ways to help to improve your relationships, work and environments. We are also going to look at your sensory intelligence and how we can use this information on a day-to-day basis to help de-stress and manage our lives in a much more fruitful and exciting way. We hope to see you there.
