Aid 4 Animals In Distress NPO: 214-400 / PBO: 930070315

Operating in Cape Town's southern suburbs We do this over and above our day job and it is purely voluntary.

Aid 4 Animals in Distress or Aid4Aid is a local non-kill animal rescue organization operating in Cape Town’s greater South. We were born in 2015 as a WhatsApp group when a group of passionate animal-loving people were networking and rescuing stray animals in the Kirstenhof and surrounding areas. This network grew rapidly, and Aid 4 Animals in Distress was officially formalised in April 2016 and is

a registered NPO. Our organisation is run by 7 working professional individuals who are extremely passionate about the welfare and safety of animals. Aid4Aid’s main objectives are to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome animals in distress including injured, abandoned, abused, and stray animals within the Kirstenhof area and surrounding southern suburbs. Our further objective is to educate our community members on the proper care and treatment of their animals and to encourage them to report abuse to the relevant authorities in their area. To date, our organisation has taken over 1500 animals into our care. We receive no government funding and rely solely on the generosity of the public to support our various fundraising initiatives, allowing us to continue to serve the animals in our greater community. We also have our Section 18a Tax exemption from SARS and as such we can issue tax certificates. Not only do we support our animals, but we do a lot of outreach work whereby we send food, blankets, etc to underprivileged homes in much need of these items for their animals. On top of the much-needed funding, which is crucial to pay our vet bills, we also need and appreciate the following donations:
Cat food
Dog food
Fleece blankets
Cat litter (clumping)
Dog toys
Cat toys
Deworming treatment
Deflea treatment
Puppy pens
Kitten Milk

This video highlights the importance of sterilisation campaigns, like the We Step In - Together campaign on February 25th. And the importance of pet sterilisation.
Be a responsible pet owner, sterilise your pets!

🛑 Pet Owners, This Is For You! 🛑

📢 3 unsterilised females = 300 puppies in 5 years.
📢 Where will they go?
🚨 Free puppies don’t find loving homes—they find neglect.
🚨 They die from disease, starvation, or cruelty.

Sterilisation stops the suffering before it starts. 🛑
It’s not just the law—it’s the right thing to do! ✅

📅 On 25 February, we’re stepping in.
💙 Step in With us! Be part of the solution. Sterilise your pet.
💙 We need 1000 hearts to donate R100.

📢 A Crisis We Can’t Ignore! 🚨
📍 41 dogs. Two small yards.
💔 Suffering. Neglect.
🐶 What will their future be?
❌ Given away for free.

💔 Bred until their bodies break.
🗑️ Dumped.
🖤 Used as dogfighting bait.

These animals deserve better! But this is what happens when sterilisation doesn’t happen. 😞

On 25 February, six animal welfare organisations are stepping in together to sterilise 180 animals in one day—preventing THOUSANDS from being born into suffering.

Six incredible organisations will unite with a common goal this World Spay Day: to sterilise 180 animals from Lavender Hill.

We cannot make this happen without your financial support and donations. Here is your chance to tackle animal overpopulation at its source, and by doing so, you enable us to step in...together.

🙌 We Step In—TOGETHER! 🙌

🚨 23,621 unwanted and stray animals arrived at the Cape of Good Hope SPCA last year.
🚨 That’s 65 animals EVERY SINGLE DAY.
🐾 Rescue without sterilisation is not a solution—it’s a temporary fix.
🐾 Six organisations are uniting to fight the crisis at its root.
📅 On 25 February, we’ll sterilise 180 animals in one day.
📍 Because every animal should be loved.
📍 Because no animal should be born just to suffer.

💙 This life-saving effort needs YOU!
💙 100 hearts. R100 each.
💙 Please step in with us!

15 Puppies, 3 Mom Dogs, 1 Home!
(Aid 4 Animals in Distress - Cape Town)

This is why we need your help! This is where your donations go!

Today, we collected 15 pups from 3 different litters from the same home on Lavender Hill. We were aware of them and had been sending food for the moms to feed them correctly. Today was the day that we needed to get them all out. All the adult dogs will be sterilised soon and we did drop off more food for them.

There were 2 x 4-month-olds, 7 x 8-week-olds, and 6 x 4-week-olds. These are the older ones after experiencing grass for the first time in their short lives. They were all bathed, dewormed, and deflead. They will be vaccinated after the quarantine period. All are now safe in foster care.

This will be a large cost on us so we are appealing for donations to anyone who can assist these beautiful pups. We hope that you can find it in your hearts to donate toward them and the many pups who are waiting in the wings to be rescued too.

Our Story...

It’s incredibly humbling to look back and reflect on what started off as a WhatsApp group and is now a fully fledged rescue organisation. What a ride it has been and how we continually learn and grow from strength to strength. To date thus far we have rescued and rehomed over 750 animals.

Our committee is comprised of twelve individuals which includes a Chairman, Financial Officer, Secretary, Adoptions Manager, Behaviorist and Wildlife Officer. Some may not know this either, but each of us has a full time job and this is purely a voluntary passion that we commit to whole heartedly in our limited spare time.

This organisation, however, would not be the success it is today, without the tremendous support from an amazing community. Our 4 WhatsApp groups contain over 200 willing participants who are never afraid to drop what they are doing and attend to emergency situations, from confronting puppy sellers to rescuing stray dogs.

We don’t have a formal premises and completely rely on foster care, with each and every foster home aiding in the rehabilitation of every animal in their care.
