Enormous appreciation to Ellen Fortmann-Biesheuvel and her wonderful Acadin - African Cats And Dogs In Need donors for making further intervention in this 'lost' and seemingly forgotten community in the Overberg.

Accolades to our besties who are the feet on the gound and the hearts in action ensuring impact, Butterfly Effect.

In partnership with Animal Lifeline, these animal champions are going all out to make certain pets in this Theewaterskloof community receive essential support for their pets.

The goal : a minimum of 75% steilisation saturation afterwhich maintenance will continue inching towards the first prize of no more litters.

This project adds to the Glen Fruin Community Engagement Project and will be supported by Dr Koba for veterinary assistance.

Together we can do so much more !

At the beginning of winter we announced we'd slow down to a panic on the steries until the rains abate. I guess we fibbed 😹

Dr Koba's feelers are finally paying dividends and low-income farm and seasonal worker's pets are flooding in to take advantage of our free spay/neuter Glen Fruin Community Engagement Poject 👏🏼

Still a week to go in June - keep em peeled 🤩

Feral digs

Colony A

Appreciation to Butterfly Effect who paid forward two pefect cat kennels - to Yvett Haarburger fo collecting and transporting them to Claire Shadbolt who installed them as additional feeding stations for her Milnerton colonies.

Colony B

The Kenwyn colony received kennels two years back. Thanks to the kindness of Giving is Living- Cape Town. These furies enjoy their safety snug pods.

Some updates on the 'good feral life of the Kenwyn colony'🥰 Saara oversees their care however a, now teen, resident is their chief carer and feeder.

All have been sterilised and are fed daily. They have kennel 'digs' and have been on this erf for more than two years.

Adrian at Checkers Sea Point has been a champion in organising food for these precious pups as well as the outreach dogs and cats Saara and her hubby tend as part of their 'indigent persons' ministry.

Black cats abound 🥰

More suffering pevented through sterilisation under the Glen Fruin Community Engagement Project last week - two days despite the onset of seriously k*k weather on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Massive appreciation to Dancers LOVE Dogs for the sponsorship, Butterfly Effect for education and transport including duty to care and Dr Koba for her care and determination and low-rates.

Outside-only doggies were kept overnight to ensure they had a wam post-op recovery.

Weekly sterries underway. Several Overberg pets scheduled tomorrow and Wednesday.

We're tying to get as many done before winter as possible as outside-only pets take additional strain in wet cold weather.

Giving is Living- Cape Town dropped off 5 safety pod kennels and many Husky tins this weekend for sterilised doggos to help stave off the harsh looming weather.

Animal Lifeline has been involved with the Capricorn Vrygrond pet clinic since 2021. A Director began volunteering in her personal capacity and noted a need for cat champions on team. Slowly she began drawing in friends and Animal Lifeline supporters to assist and support cat beneficiaries at the clinic.

A little over a year later together with the support and commitment of several dedicated volunteers including Lynda, Isotta, Shannon et al. and Lilo, Animal Lifeline became an official partner of the AfriPaw TEARS Animal Rescue Capricorn Vrygrond pet clinic.

Fast forward to May 2025 and Animal Lifeline has officially withdrawn as a pet clinic partner however our dedicated volunteer base including Mignon, Libby, Donald et al, Sam, Lilo, Michael, Michelle and Jessica will continue in support of new partner org, Kitten Clinic to ensure cats are served with care and commitment. Lee-Ann and Jade, Afipaw volunteers who have also been an important part of the team will continue their support.

Animal Lifeline focus has always been primary pevention in under-resourced communities encompassing education and sterilisation. Our mandate is based on an 80-20 principle whereby secondary prevention (what we term 'duty to care') fulfills 20% of our activities with prevention being our core 80%. The pet clinic, while being a passion poject for five years skews this mandate and it's for this reason and with the prospect of primary initiatives on the horison that we, as an organisation are passing the batton.

We've had an incredible time and celebrate our partnership with Afripaw in our 'happy place' and have been so moved to have been welcomed into the Capricorn Vrygrond community. Massive appeciation to our dedicated cat volunteer team. Thank you for helping us grow the clinic and uplift the status of cats in this caring community.

Keep 'em peeled for upcoming partnership announcements, JVs and direction with heightened focus on sterilisation of which the first was announced last year - The Glen Fruin Engagement Project. Additional local projects are under negotiation and we're excited for the way forward. Our hearts are full.

Animal Lifeline is a registered animal rescue organisation. Our core focus is primary prevention including education, sterilisation, vaccination, parasite control (worms, ticks, fleas), and microchipping. We are all volunteers who are passionate about what we do.


  • Community Liaison Volunteers
  • Animal Lifeline operates through community liaison volunteers who flag at-risk animals for intervention in under-resourced areas in Cape Town. Community-based volunteers are involved in giving vital assistance to animals in need - this includes trapping (TNR - trap, neuter, return) and subsequent feeding of feral cats, supplemental-feeding for a number of dogs and cats, negotiation for access to animals that are identified as at-risk and entering into dialogue with pet owners regarding the benefits of sterilisation, parasite control and general upliftment of their pets’ circumstances (obtaining kennels, runs-leads instead of short chains, etc.) Community education is an essential part of this process.
