Lucky Lucy Foundation

Lucky Lucy Foundation Changing lives one by one - with us they have time to trust and heal themselves again. My head must have been about a centimeter away from the track.

Lucky Lucy's Story:
My name is Lucky Lucy and I was tied to a railway line to be hit by a train. All I remember is that I was happy and playing, I was fed and didn’t go hungry. Perhaps my owner did love me at one stage cause I lived well and warm, I was clean and had friends to play with and I found a boyfriend and carried his babies, but then suddenly for some reason something changed in my owner

. He went looking for a strong rope, something that couldn’t snap or get loose and he took me with him, which I thought would be the usual stroll you go on with your owner. But then we were at the train tracks and he grabbed me, took my hind legs and stretched them out to be tied to my front legs, them my body stretched, was tied to the railway line. Then he took my head and tied it to the bolt that holds the track in place. Then he turned and walked away… didn’t even look back. I thought at first this must be a game but he disappeared. I didn’t know what was going on – then I felt the vibration and heard the noise… I saw this huge train coming at me and I couldn’t move… I tried with all my strength but I just couldn’t move…

The train went over my leg – my paw was gone and my muscle had been ripped from my already smashed bone. I didn’t feel any more… I just lay dead still and waited to die – a few more trains went over me… I just closed my eyes and hoped I would die soon to end this agony. Out of nowhere this man saw me, he screamed and ran away only to come back with two people. They jumped out of their car and cut my neck and paws from the ropes. I don’t know if my life was now going to be completely over cause who would want to keep me alive – in my state? They put me in their car and took me to the hospital. I heard the lady and man say “Hold on for us girl… don’t give up… we will help you”. Now I will try my best to pull through, I know they are asking everyone to pray for me, so I will pray for me too.

**Giving Hope to an Amazingly Beautiful Little Girl - Lilly's
First Chemotherapy Treatment (31 December 2024)**

Lilly was discovered in Riverlands suffering from the most extreme case of TVT cancer we have ever encountered. Her owners loved her dearly, and she sleeps inside with her two young puppies. Unfortunately, not everyone is aware of TVT cancer in dogs, and her owner was unsure of what to do when Lilly began showing symptoms.

A kind gentleman informed us about this lovely little girl who urgently needed assistance. We visited her home and spoke with her owner, who immediately agreed to have Lilly sterilised and was extremely grateful when we mentioned the possibility of a chemotherapy treatment that could help her.

Lilly was sterilised on 12 December 2024, and we had to wait, per our vets' recommendation, before starting her chemotherapy for the TVT cancer. Early on Tuesday morning, we fetched her and took her for her first treatment. She was an absolute superstar—well-behaved and she made us incredibly proud.

Unfortunately, this will be the only treatment she can receive now for her condition because more vincristine chemotherapy is currently unavailable in South Africa and they don't know when it will become available again. We are truly hopeful and pray that this treatment will make a significant impact on her cancer while we wait for the said treatment to arrive in South Africa.

A special thank you to Aesthetics/Dr Nardus le Grange, who sponsored her sterilisation and her first TVT treatment. Without your generous heart, Lilly would have had no future. Your kindness has given this little girl a chance at a new life, where she can be a normal, loving companion cherished by her special family.

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey!

The temperatures are beginning to rise. It is expected that the farm will reach 31°C by 12:00 and 33°C by 14:00 today. Some of us are preparing to cope with the heat by finding ways to lower our body temperatures.

Yesterday marked not only the beginning of a new year, filled with excitement for all of us, but also a special day for our cats. As we prepared a festive lunch, each of them received a little treat, which made them quite excited and a bit impatient at times.

We hope that all of our wonderful supporters also enjoyed a special lunch with the cherished people in their lives. Most importantly, we trust that you shared some meaningful moments with your own animals or any other animals that needed to feel loved and special.

🐕~🐾 Best friends forever ... Duke of Kent and Edie 🐾~ 🐕

Duke of Kent is a boy like no other. At just 3 years and 7 months old, he had already earned a reputation as the most joyful, adventurous pup around. With his sleek coat and a tail that wags endlessly with enthusiasm, Duke’s three legs didn’t slow him down in the slightest. In fact, it seemed to give him a special kind of grace and agility that amased everyone who gets to know him. Duke wasn’t just a survivor after his accident, he is a playful, happy spirit who never let anything get in his way.

His best friend is Edie, a 6-year-old ball of energy who has a heart full of love and a never-ending supply of silliness. Edie is the kind of dog who cannot resist a game of chase and when she and Duke are together, the fun is guaranteed.

Edie and Duke are the perfect team, each playing to the other's strengths, Duke’s speed and ingenuity, Edie’s boundless energy and mischievous spirit. Together, these two make the world feel like one big, joyful playground.

The best part of watching them is the way they can make anything a game. There are no rules in their world—only moments of pure joy, shared between two best friends who see no obstacles, only endless opportunities for fun.

Duke of Kent and Edie are the epitome of happiness, two dogs who is reminding us every day that it’s not about how many legs you have, but how big your heart is and how much joy you can bring to those around you. Together, these two are a constant reminder that life is all about play, love, and the simple joy of being together.

~ National Sterilization Project UPDATE ~

Sterilisation funding sponsored by the National Sterilization Project and sterilisations done within the Riverlands Community.

The Riverlands community suffered significant losses when three dam walls burst on and 17 August 2024 and flooded parts of the area has left some families with absolutely nothing. It was during this time that we have learned of the dire need for animals to be sterilised in this Community.

STERILISATIONS DONE DURING THE PERIOD OF 29 OCTOBER 2024 until 5 NOVEMBER 2024

29 OCTOBER 2024
(1) Kietie : Pregnant female of 1 year : Owner: Mebney Engelbrecht
(2) Luna : Female of 12 weeks : Owner: Avner Marais
(3) Wh**ey : Female of 6 months : Owner: Catherine Cleophas

5 NOVEMBER 2024
(1) Phoebe - Female of 1 year with 5 kittens Owner: Cathleen Visser
(2) Bontes - Pregnant Female of 1 year Owner: Matheus Ockhuys
(3) Stoeksie - Female of 10 months with 3 kittens Owner: Dimitri Muller
(4) Kietie - Female of 2 years with 3 kittens - owner surrendered one kitten the other two she is keeping : Owner: Beulah Bester
(5) Nunu - Male of 10 months : Owner: Nicolette West

TOTAL = 8 cats sterilised - 7 X FEMALES & 1 MALE

We sterilised 3 mommy cats who already gave birth - the owners of two of the moms surrendered the kittens into the care of Lucky Lucy. Our amazing friends at Raise 'n Rescue then took the mammoth task over of helping the moms and the kittens. Once the kittens were weaned then the moms went back to their individual owners and the kittens were available for adoption. THANK YOU Raise 'n Rescue for playing such a significant part in giving these little ones a 2nd chance in life.

We want to convey our profound gratitude to each and every donor who made the sterilisations possible and give these animals and their families new hope and a brighter future!

By calculating the potential number of kittens that could have been born into an already struggling community, where many animals urgently need food, we can see the difference we’re making. Through these sterilizations, we are creating a significant impact and empowering households to better care for the pets they already have.

Their families are forever grateful for your sponsorship and requested us to express their appreciation and thankfulness to you for helping them and their animals having a brighter future.

The cooler weather brings much relief to everyone in alCATraz, along with some silliness that we enjoy. When the heat is unbearable, no one feels like moving an inch. Robert even tried to get Gigi the Giraffe to have a conversation with him this morning 😂🤣 - and he didn't want to take no for an answer 🤣😅.

Your commitment to ensuring our animals are comfortable in the shelter means the world to us and is something we cannot fully capture in words. Once again, thank you deeply for all you have done since the day you became part of our lives. Your unwavering support and dedication to our mission inspire us every day.

🎄Christmas Day at was a little different than we had imagined this year.

With temperatures soaring to a scorching 40°C, we knew we had to adjust our plans to ensure the animals' comfort and safety. We began feeding them early, starting at 6:00 yesterday, so they had their meals before the extreme heat set in, which we knew would hit around 10:00 - 11:00.

By 11:00 (36°C), the heat was already unbearable, so we immediately started to place large ice blocks in their drinking water and in their "cooldown pools" to help them stay cooler and more comfortable throughout the day. Some of our older animals, in particular, seemed to really appreciate the cold water, jumping right into the pools to cool down and showing us their gratitude in their own little ways.

Our newly constructed shaded ports really proved to be a lifesaver. They played a vital role in each of the camps, keeping the water cooler for longer periods and providing a peaceful spot where the animals could relax and take refuge from the intense heat.

Though Christmas was not quite what we envisioned—our hope was to make it extra special for them—we are grateful that we were able to prioritise their well-being. Once the weather settles down and the heat breaks, we promise we’ll make up for it by spoiling them with all the special treats and goodies they deserve.

Thank you for your ongoing support, which makes moments like these possible. We look forward to sharing photos and updates once we can truly celebrate their Christmas in the cooler weather!

🎊🥘🍨🎄~ STAFF CHRISTMAS LUNCH 2024 ~🎄🍨🥘🎊
**Thank You for Your Commitment and Hard Work in 2024!**

On December 21, 2024, we held our Christmas lunch to express our gratitude for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to each animal in our care throughout the year.

As we reflect on another year, we are once again reminded of how fortunate we are as a Foundation to have such amazing staff. Thank you for all the effort you have put in this year. We are truly proud to have such an excellent team working with our animals.

Because of each one of you, we are always moving forward in the right direction. It is incredibly important to find people you can count on—especially those with a gift, passion, and compassion for animals.

We also want to convey a special thank you to the following individuals who made this Christmas lunch a huge success:

**Sponsors for Their Gift Cards**

On behalf of our entire team, we want to extend our deepest gratitude for your incredible generosity. Thanks to your kindness, all 15 of our staff members received gift cards, a gesture that truly brightened their holiday season and lifted their spirits. Your support goes beyond just providing thoughtful gifts; it strengthens our sense of community and reinforces the importance of compassion and care. We are deeply moved by your commitment to helping us show appreciation for our staff's hard work and dedication in 2024. Please know that your contribution has made a meaningful impact.

**Additional Gift Cards**
Dear Justine Joshua,

We are truly at a loss for words to fully express our gratitude for your incredible generosity. Your thoughtful donation of additional gift cards for each of our 15 staff members has left us deeply touched. Thanks to your support, we were able to show our appreciation for the hard work, dedication, and commitment that each team member has brought to our Foundation during 2024. This meaningful gesture serves as a powerful reminder of the kindness that exists in the world. Despite the many challenges we faced this year, your additional donation will have a lasting impact on each one of them. Thank you, Justine, for your selflessness and for being a true champion of our team. We are genuinely grateful for your incredible support.

**Thank You for the Food Preparation**
Dear Kerry-Jean and Richard,

We want to extend our deepest thanks to both of you for the extraordinary effort and care you put into preparing the most incredible meal for our team. The hours you spent preparing such tasteful, beautiful food truly paid off — our staff were absolutely speechless when they saw their plates! Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but it also reflected your thoughtfulness and commitment to making our team feel appreciated. Your dedication to ensuring our staff felt special and valued is something we will never forget.

**Thank You to our Staff**
Please know that your dedication, commitment, and willingness to help make this Foundation a success is commendable and will never go unnoticed. Words cannot express how much we appreciate each of you for giving so selflessly to the Foundation. The long hours and hard work you have put in have not gone unnoticed, and we are very grateful to each one of you.

With much gratitude,
The Lucky Lucy Team

STERILISATION CLINIC NR 5/2024 : 10 DECEMBER 2024 ... 48 CATS STERILISED 🎉🎊

Another huge successful Sterilisation Clinic and we are filled with gratitude. We could not have done this without the support of so many absolutely amazing people.

Our main focus with these sterilisation clinics is to offer the public sterilisations at affordable prices. At this stage we only focus on cat sterilisations but we will look at the possibility of doing dog sterilisations in the future. We can all agree that sterilisation prevents unnecessary breeding and reduces the number of unwanted animals and prevents the miserable life these unwanted animals face daily which includes starvation, abuse, and suffering on the streets and in homes.

During our clinic held on the 5 November 2024 we achieved the following:
(1) Spay of Female Cats – 26
(2) Neutering of Male Cats - 22
(3) Total number of sterilisations – 48
(4) 15 x Microchips
(5) 5 x FeLV/FIV tests
(6) 8 x Vaccinations done by the vets on duty
(7) 16 x Deworming treatments administered
(8 )12 x Flea treatments administered

Together, we changed the lives of 48 cats! Thank you for your support; we will cherish this milestone for many years to come.

To the team at Bergzicht Dierehospitaal — Dr. Maryke Bartmann, Dr. Duandri Botha, and Fred Booysen — we want to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for all your hard work and dedication during yet another successful Sterilisation Clinic. Your contributions were crucial to its success, and we are extremely grateful to have such an amazing team on board. Thank you for your commitment to our organisation and to pet owners everywhere. Your selflessness and dedication to helping others are truly inspiring, and we couldn’t achieve our goals without you. We look forward to the next clinic!

To every pet owner who made an appointment — thank you for making the best decision for your beloved pets. We wish there were more amazing and caring people like you! Thank you for helping us combat the overpopulation of unwanted pets in South Africa by making the most responsible choice for your pet!

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the National Sterilization Project for providing us with the necessary funds to sterilise 7 cats (6 females and 1 male). Your support allows us to assist underprivileged households, specifically 6 families in Riverlands and 1 family in Tierfontein, with the sterilisation of their cats. We will be highlighting each family in individual posts. Without your support, we could not make a significant impact in the areas that need our help.

We also want to recognize the dedicated volunteers who selflessly give their time to make these sterilisation clinics a success. We know you have heard this many times before, but we will continue to express our appreciation because it is the truth behind the many achievements of our Foundation. Each one of you who assists during these crucial projects is the sole reason for our success. The Lucky Lucy Foundation would not exist without amazing people like you demonstrating such dedication and commitment. Thank you for your unwavering support of our organization.

A HEARTFELT THANK YOU ... Hannetjie Smit & Swart for being absolutely AMAZING!

We sincerely appreciate your overwhelming support in helping us acquire a pet-friendly vacuum cleaner for our adult cattery. Cleanliness in our environments is crucial, and your generosity has truly touched our hearts.

We are filled with immense gratitude for what you have done for us. The new cattery is now complete, and we just needed to finalize some logistical items before moving our residents into their new space. Thanks to your donations, we were able to purchase a brand new green Henry vacuum for this area.

On behalf of the entire Lucky Lucy Cattery Team, please accept our heartfelt appreciation for your kindness and generosity. Your unwavering support means more to us than we can adequately express. We simply couldn’t continue our work without amazing people like you!

We do know that you have many options when it comes to donating, and we are truly grateful that you chose to support our cause. Thank you for helping us to create a sanctuary we can all be proud of.

Your support has been a true blessing in our lives!

A HUGE AND HEARTFELT THANK YOU ... Sonja and Candice for being absolutely AMAZING!

On behalf of the entire Lucky Lucy Team, please accept our sincere and deepest appreciation and thank you for your kindness to our cause and for your support. A heartfelt thank you for the absolutely amazing donation cat and dog food, blankets and toys. Please know that we simply couldn’t do what we do without amazing people like you!

For some of our cats and dogs this will be there forever home and there is no reason why we cannot strive to keep them comfortable during their days with us. Thank you for for helping us in such a special way. There is nothing more appreciated than an extra blanket or two on your bed to make it soft and comfortable and something extra special in your bowl. So there is absolutely no reason why they cannot experience the same luxuries as cats and dogs in homes have. And for this reason we strive to create and give them a home where they can live in comfort. We know you have a lot of choices when it comes to donating, and we are so grateful that you have chosen to donate to our cause.

We are truly blessed to have such amazing supporters like yourselves.

We SALUTE YOU!
