Dear Residents,

Please be aware that a *Caracal was sighted* inside the Estate between the Beach Gate and the southern end of the Estate in the early hours of this morning.

We urge residents to keep their pets within their property. We must always assume that Caracals are in the vicinity of the Estate and may not always be spotted by our perimeter cameras.

We will continue to provide residents with updates.

This is devastating news. They have nowhere to go, with over 300 animals

**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**

**Heartbreaking Setback for Fallen Angels Pet Rescue as City Zoning Regulations Force Relocation**

Melkbosstrand, Cape Town – After over a decade of dedication to rescuing and caring for abandoned animals, Fallen Angels Pet Rescue faces an uncertain future. Co-founders Gayl Basson, Shireen Williams and the late Lilian Williams, have tirelessly provided a safe haven for hundreds of animals in Melkbosstrand, creating a sanctuary for those in need. However, a recent zoning decision by the City of Cape Town has left the organization facing the daunting task of relocating its beloved animal care center.

Founded on a dream to offer animals a permanent refuge, Fallen Angels Pet Rescue has weathered countless challenges since its inception. The team overcame early struggles with inadequate resources, operating without water, electricity, and proper shelter. Despite the hardships, the founders remained steadfast in their mission, transforming the land into a secure and loving environment for the animals they care for.

Yet on November 1, 2024, after investing over two and a half years and nearly R250,000 in compliance efforts, the organization received word from the City of Cape Town that their application for a Special Consent Use Permit had been denied. The property’s proximity to the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station, within a regulated 5km zone, makes the rescue center ineligible for its intended use. The City’s decision has left Fallen Angels Pet Rescue with no option but to vacate its current location.

“This has been devastating news for all of us,” says co-founder Gayl Basson “We’ve poured our hearts, our blood, sweat, and tears into making this a safe haven. Moving will be incredibly challenging, but we cannot give up on these animals who have already been through so much.”

Now, Fallen Angels Pet Rescue urgently calls upon its supporters and the broader community to rally behind them. The organization faces enormous costs and logistical challenges associated with dismantling and relocating the farm infrastructure, as well as safely transporting over 300 animals to a new sanctuary.

**How You Can Help Fallen Angels Pet Rescue in This Crisis:**

- **Donate** to the Fallen Angels Rescue Relocation Fund
- **Volunteer** to assist with demolition and rebuilding efforts
- **Offer** transportation services for the animals’ safe transfer
- **Adopt or Foster** to help ease the transition for senior and other vulnerable animals
- **Share** the organization’s story to raise awareness and support
- **Contribute your skills** – any assistance or ideas are welcomed

With the holiday season approaching, Fallen Angels Pet Rescue urges individuals to consider making a difference by supporting this essential relocation effort. Donations of any amount can help the organization rebuild and continue its mission to protect and care for animals in need. Fallen Angels is committed to ensuring that every animal remains safe and well-cared-for, regardless of the obstacles ahead.

Fallen Angels Pet Rescue is a registered NPO (NPO 175-638) focusing on the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of domestic animals. 🐾

Any animal that is forgotten, abandoned (abused), lost, lonely, emaciated and neglected (FALLEN) is considered to be a Fallen Angel and therefore part of the focus area of this organisation.

Through animal therapy they aim to assist in healing the broken souls of any “FALLEN Angels” they are financially able to assist. Fallen Angels Pet Rescue was founded in February 2014 by three devoted people; already active within the animal rescue and rehabilitation circuits.

We are situated in Melkbosstrand and we work hard to make sure that all the animals in our care get the love, attention and adoration that they deserve. We have many volunteers that help, which we are all too grateful for. Our aim to make sure that the animals in our care get homes that will give them the comfort that they deserve. It's been a long and hard journey, but one that is worth it every day.

The ‘FALLEN’ in Fallen Angels Pet Rescue stands for Forgotten, Abandoned (Abused), Lost, Lonely, Emaciated and Neglected. Any animal that falls under these categories is considered a ‘Fallen Angel’ and thus falls within the area of importance for this organization. 🐾❤
