enjoyed their visit to the Grahamstown SPCA Centre and given the multitalented bilingual team here at your SPCA we were able to provide the whole educational experience to the kids in isiXhosa. This was particularly important for the school as they teach in isiXhosa.
We continue to see significant influxes of animals and we are constantly looking for food donations and are extremely grateful for any we receive. On a positive note, these last months have also seen a large number of animals rehomed which has been fantastic and it has been wonderful to see them happily settled into their new homes.
For all updates and photos regarding our successful adoptions please visit our Facebook Page.
Other businesses continue to tirelessly support the SPCA, with fundraising including Madhatters Coffee Shop and Noom, where you can by books to support the SPCA. There are other businesses who help by acting as collection points for food donations including Blu Robin, Pam Golding and Madhatters Coffee Shop.
Our next major fundraising event will be the Dinner Dance at Graeme College on 7 October, with music by Pieter Naude and the Lumo Dog Photo: Supplied
Walk on 14 October, and we look forward to seeing you there. There are still tickets available for the dinner dance and please contact us on 046 622 3233 for more details. The cost per person is R130 and includes a light meal.
We have also been chosen as the recipient for Santa Paws for this calendar year, for which we are extremely grateful and encourage all to support their events over the coming months.
We are so humbled and grateful for all the continued support of our community with the money, food, blankets, books, items for our shop and the support of local businesses who help to keep our bakkie running and provide much needed assistance with veterinary help, grounds maintenance, cat litter, building work and building materials, trailer hire and all manner of other services and products, without which we would not be able to carry out the much needed work that we do.
Thank you so much for all your continued support for your SPCA.
We continue to encourage people to get involved with your SPCA Centre and give the greatest gift you can by volunteering.
We are always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help out at the Grahamstown SPCA Centre, with fundraising and many, many, many other roles. For more information please come in and chat to one of our enthusiastic staff.
Please follow us on Facebook and have a look at our adoption photo albums. This is where you will find write ups and pictures of all the animals we have up for adoption.
As the summer approaches please remember the danger of leaving pets in vehicles. On a 29oC day for example, the temperature inside your car, even with the windows slightly open, will reach 38oC within 10min and 48oC within 30min.
A dog or cat can only withstand a body temperature of 41-42oC for a very short time, before suffering irreparable brain damage or death.
