Spaying and neutering pets offer several benefits:

• Elimination of Hormone-Induced Moodiness: It reduces uncomfortable and stressful symptoms associated with heat cycles.
• Behavioural Improvement: It curtails frustrating behaviours such as yowling and inappropriate urination.
• Reduced Instinctive Behaviours in Males: Neutering decreases mating-related behaviours, making pets less likely to escape home, get into fights, or be hit by vehicles.
• Territory Marking: Altered males are less inclined to spray strong scents around the home and are less likely to mount people, other dogs, or objects.
• Disease Prevention: Sterilised pets are less susceptible to certain diseases, such as Feline Immunodeficiency Virus in cats.

💔URGENT APPEAL FOR CAT FOOD💔

Over the past month, we received two EFT notifications that should have covered our cat food needs through January. However, despite the proof of payment provided, the funds never cleared in our account. This heartbreaking situation has forced us to cancel our recent order. With warehouses shutting down for the festive season, we’re left in an incredibly dire position.

The past few weeks have been among the most challenging for Furballs in our 10-year journey. We’ve faced the tragic loss of two furballs, ongoing efforts to prevent community animals from going hungry, and mounting pressures to meet our commitments.

On a personal note, I’ve been struggling to stay afloat emotionally in the face of these sudden losses and overwhelming stress. Though our team will begin work at Trail of Lights soon, the proceeds won’t come in immediately, and we’re grappling with overheads in the meantime.

If you can donate even a single bag of cat food, we have a crate at Kensington Super Spar, and Cellworx is also a drop-off point. Alternatively, you can WhatsApp us on 071 889 3805 for more options. Every little bit helps, and we are hopeful that our incredible supporters will rally to keep the furballs fed and safe.

If you’d prefer to contribute financially, any amount would mean the world to us:
Account Name: Feeding the Furballs
Bank: FNB
Account Type: Current
Account Number: 62485795622
Branch Code: 250655
Reference: Food + YOUR NAME

Please share this post and help us get through this critical time. We trust the universe—and your kindness—will pull us through 💜

Rabies roundup for November 2024. There have been nine new confirmed cases reported in KZN this month. One was a dassie from Harry Gwala district. The remaining eight cases were all dogs. Five of these dogs were from the southern part of eThekwini metro, including Doonside and Warner Beach. The other three dogs were all from uMgungundlovu district.
This deadly rabies virus can affect any mammal. Prophylactic vaccination is the cornerstone of rabies prevention. Ensure that your pets' rabies vaccinations are current- it is very important, as well as a legal requirement. Please help to spread the word.
