The best way to celebrate Valentine’s day was not on the 14th February, but on Sunday the 16th February at Fig Tree Farm. The Hill’s Pet Nutrition Kloof and Highway SPCA Trail run was a wonderful way to show how much you care for your own animals and the animal’s that the SPCA help and love every single day of the year.
The sun came out and the runners, walkers and dogs had the most beautiful trails to explore. We loved having so many people spend the morning with us and first prize was seeing so many of our adopted dogs living their dream lives. Thank you to everyone who supported our event and by doing so have made a difference in an animal’s life.

A prickly situation‼️‼️
After 5 days of trying to catch a Porcupine for relocation, Inspector Petros Simamane and Field Officer Eric Simamane were successful! Using all sorts of delicious food to tempt the clever Porcupine, it was eventually humanly trapped and safely relocated and released in a nature reserve🦔🦔 Thank you to the members of the public who helped ensure that it remained unharmed and thank you to Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife and their rangers for guiding us on where the best place would be to set the porcupine free. 💙

‼️MISSING SINCE JULY 2024‼️
There are moments that are good, and then there are moments that just take your breath away✨️
Cast your mind back to July 2024 a social media post went out appealing to anyone who might have seen a tiny long haired tan and white Chihuahua in the Summerveld / Shongweni area who had managed to escape off his lead. Dexter was his name, and he was last seen in the hundreds of acres of sugar cane. People searched, and posts went out until eventually everyone gave up hope. Many of us wondered , speculated, and still hung onto a tiny glimmer of a chance that he would be found🥲
Wednesday the 12th February 2025, almost 7 months after Dexter disappeared, The Kloof and Highway SPCA received a tip off of a dog matching Dexter’s description living in the area of KwaNdengezi. The excitement and elation that we felt was palpable. Without hesitation Field Officer King Ndimande, Insepector Brigitte Ferguson and Manager Sarah Van Heerden headed to the property and low and behold a kind lady came out carrying a smaller, thinner and dirtier Dexter, still in the same halter he was wearing in July 2024!!! In that moment, we held Dexter it felt like all was good in the world.
Calling the owner to tell him his dog had been found. His dog was safe. Dexter was coming home. ❤️❤️ We know tonight Dexter is sleeping in bed with his owner, and the last 7 months will be a distant memory.
Thank you to the kind family who cared for him in the time he had been missing, they truly cared for him.
Go well Dexter ❤️❤️

Not just cats and dogs!
Field Officer Eric Simamane was called to collect a stray Tortoise yesterday afternoon after it had been spotted in the garden. Upon arrival Field Officer Eric found what was one of the largest Terrapins we had ever seen! We have 5 indigenous Terrapins in South Africa and feed on things like tadpoles, frogs, snails, small crabs, fish, and occasionally aquatic plants and their roots.
Once back at the SPCA, this beautiful specimen was safely released, and happy to be back in the water again!

‼️NOT FOR SENSITIVE VIEWERS‼️
Today, we were again reminded that vaccinating your pets against Rabies, is so important.
Lulu, a loved family pet, was booked into our Clinic for her sterilisation on 8 January 2025. Our Field Officer Sipho Mkhize , went to fetch Lulu for her sterilisation appointment, and she would come home the next day after she had recovered. Lulu had never been vaccinated, so this was to be done whilst she was at our Kloof and Highway SPCA Clinic.
On 9 January 2025, after her sterilisation which went well, Lulu was taken home to her owner to recover.
On Saturday, 11 January, our after-hours emergency phone received calls to say that Lulu wasn’t well, she was very sick and please could we come and collect her.
Field Officer Philani Nzama went to fetch Lulu, and took a video of Lulu who was displaying neurological symptoms that made Field Officer Philani suspect that the dog may have Rabies. Inspector Kerrie Andrews, from our Clinic, received the video and immediately phoned the owner as she was also concerned about Rabies. Inspector Andrews, explained to Lulu’s owner that there was no cure for Rabies and advised the owner to ensure that her and her son start Rabies treatment urgently as a precaution.
Inspector Andrews phoned me, and sent me the video, I agreed with the devastating decision which had to be made- to humanly euthanase Lulu and send her body to be tested by the State Vet. Sadly, there is no Rabies test that can be done without euthanasing the animal.
Today we received the devasting news from the State Vet…..Lulu had tested positive for Rabies, and she would have suffered the most awful death, and could have spread Rabies to whoever and any animals that she came into contact with. Lulus family and our Kloof and Highway SPCA Clinic and Inspectorate staff, who came into contact with Lulu, will also need to have Rabies treatment.
The decision that was made to humanely put Lulu to sleep and send her for Rabies te
