'In these underprivileged communities, many pet owners want to sterilise their animals, but they simply cannot afford the fees. This eventually leads to overpopulation, neglect and unnecessary suffering of the animal,' volunteer Clarisse Kruger stated.
She added that by contributing to this campaign, residents can help prevent the rising number of litter, decrease the amount of strays in and around the town and improve the health of affected animals.
To help the animal rescue achieve their goals, Clarisse explained they need a total of R16 000 to sterilise 15 dogs and five cats. She further mentioned that any funds in excess will go directly to helping the animals in their care.
The community's support, whether through covering the cost of one animal or contributing any amount, will have a lasting impact on our community by addressing the root causes of overpopulation in a humane way,' she explained.
She continued that residents who donate to the cause will receive a letter of appreciation as well as public acknowledgement on their social media pages, if the resident wants to.
'Most importantly, you will become part of a movement that creates a safe environment for animals in need. We cannot do this without the community. We are pleading with the community to consider making a difference. Every donation, no matter how big or how small, can change the lives of many animals,' Clarisse concluded.
