The Mafikeng SPCA is struggling financially and we need the support of our community to keep our doors open. We are the only voice for the animals in our area and without us thousands of animals will suffer . Unwanted animals won't have anywhere to go and abuse and neglect will not be addressed.

PLEASE support our Funky Socks Fundraiser. If you cannot purchase socks, please help us to share the post as far and wide as possible.

Please help us to help the animals🐾

The Mafikeng SPCA regularly conducts pro-active inspections at residential properties in our area.

As is in our name, we try to prevent cruelty to animals. This means that our inspector must go into the field and educate owners on responsible pet ownership before cruelty can take place. Sometimes we arrive at a property where the act of cruelty is currently in progress.

Notice to Comply’s and Warnings are issued in terms of the Animal Protection Act no 71 of 1962 and regular follow ups are conducted to ensure compliance.

Thank you to our amazing field staff for going out into the field and being the voice for the voiceless 🐾🐾

JOIN OUR COMMITTEE OR SUB-COMMITTEE

We have been so overwhelmed and blessed by the amazing response from our wonderful community with so many amazing suggestions!

We face the challenge of not having enough man-power to incorporate all of these wonderful ideas.

We are a committee of 5 full-time employed volunteers of which two do not live in Mahikeng.

Our position of head of the fundraising and marketing portfolios are still vacant. We also would like to have a sub-committee of volunteers who cannot commit fully but could volunteer some of their time every now and then.

Please let us know if you are interested in either the Management Committee position or sub-committee positions 🐾🐾

For Immediate Release: MAFIKENG SPCA FACES CLOSURE DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS

The Mafikeng SPCA is in urgent need of financial support to avoid closure. As a vital organization
protecting animals in Mahikeng, losing the SPCA would be devastating for the community and countless
animals in need.

Our inspector tirelessly serves Mahikeng and surrounding areas, conducting inspections, responding to
cruelty complaints, and educating on responsible pet ownership. We accept any animal in need, covering
all veterinary costs. Currently the National Council of SPCA’s Inspectorate Support Fund covers the salary
of the inspector.

Our monthly operating costs total R47,000, but current donations fall drastically short at only R2,000 to
R3,000. We are on the brink of being unable to meet our financial obligations and may be forced to close.

How You Can Help:
• Join Our Committee: We need fundraising and treasury support.
• Donate: Every contribution helps, whether monthly or one-off.
• Support Fundraising Initiatives: Participate in our Funky Socks Day on 20 September.
• Donate Unwanted Items: Kitchen accessories, clothes, books, electronics, etc., for our charity
shop opening on 17 August.

Urgent Wishlist:
• Dog & Cat Food (Adult and Puppy/Kitten)
• Cat Litter / Sand
• Food & Water Bowls
• Dog Beds & Toys
• Blankets
• Cleaning Supplies: Large Hosepipe, Ladder
• Maintenance Supplies: Cement, Paint, Screeding materials, Fencing

Follow our page and share our posts to help us raise awareness. We implore you to help us
save this essential organization and continue our mission to protect those without a voice.

The mission of the SPCA is prevention of cruelty to all animals. In cases where contraventions are already taking place we take action against owners. Education will always form part of all actions but when it fails we have to apply the law by issuing warnings and in worst case scenarios, we prosecute offenders. The SPCA does not only care about cats and dogs, but all animals.

During the past month our inspectorate had to deal with illegal chaining of dogs, inhumane transportation of farm animals, harnessing of working donkeys causing injuries, lack of veterinary care to animals, lack of shelter and owners not providing food and water to their animals.

The SPCA plays a vital role to improve the lives and living conditions of the animals in our communities. Without the SPCA these animals have nobody to assist them and they have nowhere to go.

We urge our community to support us donating animal food, assistance with veterinary and fuel expenses and daily running costs. No donation will ever be too small and we are and will be grateful for any form of support.

Please help us to continue helping those who have no voice🐾

A University residence ( Khayelitsha & Hopeville) spent their Mandela Day 67 minutes at the Mafikeng SPCA .The aim was learning about prevention of animal cruelty, and advocating for animal rights, what the SPCA centre does, and how they can raise funds through their initiatives for the SPCA. They also assisted with cleaning our premises. Thank you for caring and for your time spending with us.

Thank you also to SS Pledge as well as for anonymous Mandela Day Donations. We truly appreciate the support🐾
