HOW TO HELP ANIMALS IN NEED
ANIMAL welfare organisations need help during the lockdown:
PAWFECT NATION is trying to get food to feeders in areas not close to supplies, or who cannot afford the food. Bulk food donations will be delivered for distribution.
Pawfect Nation feeds feral and stray animals not in shelters. It needs bags, cans or pouches of cat and dog food. If you can help, please email info@pawfectnation.org.za
