🐾 Suid Natal pupils for the awesome donation of food, blankets and other items for our kennel animals. They also collected a much appreciated monetary donation.
🐾 Chloe Ellis who for her recent 16th Birthday kindly asked for friends to donate food and blankets in lieu of gifts. Chloe also spent some quality time with the dogs and cats!

🐾 A special Thank You to the Naicker family who for the past 8 years on their late son's Heavenly Birthday, donated 8 bags of 8kg dog food.
Mrs Naicker shared with us this beautiful tribute in honour and memory of her son:
""Happy heavenly birthday to my precious, one and only child! Today, we celebrate the life and love of an extraordinary soul who left an indelible mark on our hearts. As I reflect on your compassionate nature, I know that you would want me to honor your memory by caring for those who brought you so much joy - your beloved furry friends.
From a tender age, your heart beat for the disadvantaged, and your love for animals was unparalleled. I cherish the memories of your first birthday, when Boomer, your loyal bestie, became an integral part of our family. As the years passed, our home became a sanctuary for many more furry friends, each one receiving the same boundless love and affection from you.
Your kindness and empathy inspired us all, and your legacy lives on through the countless lives you touched. Now, as we celebrate your heavenly birthday, we will continue to honour your memory by showering love and care on your friends at the LSC SPCA. We will remember the laughter, the tears, and the unconditional love we shared with you.
Though you may be gone, you will never be forgotten. We love and miss you more than words can express, my dear child. Your memory will continue to be a blessing to us, and we will keep your spirit alive by spreading love, kindness, and compassion to all those around us".

Thank you ✨

❄ COLD WEATHER WARNING ❄
Please take heed of the below advice to keep your animals warm and safe with the Level 2 weather warning, and with Winter upon us.
Animals feel cold just as much as humans do.

🐾 Keep your dog’s coat longer in winter for warmth. If your dog is short-haired, consider getting a jersey to help keep them warm.
🐾 Always ensure your animal has a dry, warm safe space to shelter in.
🐾 Clean, warm and dry bedding and if possible, an extra blanket or two.
🐾 If pets cannot come indoors, you should make sure they are protected by a dry, draft-free enclosure large enough to allow them to sit and lie down, but small enough to hold in the pet’s body heat. Raise the floor a few inches off the ground i.e. a rubber mat, pallet. Turn the enclosure away from the wind and cover the doorway.
🐾 Move other animals or livestock to sheltered areas in a draft free enclosure as above and make sure they have access to drinking water.
🐾Take care of their coat and skin. To avoid itchy, flaking skin, towel dry your pet as soon as he or she comes inside. Pay special attention to paws and in between the toes.
🐾 Check your engine. A warm vehicle engine can be an appealing heat source for outdoor and feral cats, but it's deadly. Check underneath your car, bang on the bonnet, and honk the ho**er before starting the engine to make sure a cat hasn’t taken refuge on your engine.
🐾 Use heaters with caution. The heater can burn your pet or be knocked over, possibly starting a home fire.
🐾 Watch for hypothermia. If your pet is whining, shivering, anxious, slower than usual or stops moving, seems weak or starts looking for warm places to burrow, get them back inside quickly because they are showing signs of hypothermia.
If you suspect your pet has hypothermia, consult your Veterinarian immediately.

For any Animal related Emergency, contact the SPCA standby line on 0832226355.

🐾 We need YOUR help too! By becoming a monthly contributor, you can support our ongoing efforts to care for the animals.
