2026 Kennel Sleepover – our biggest and best yet!
Our 5th Annual Kennel Sleepover, held in honour of International Homeless Animals Day on Saturday, 15 August, was incredibly successful – thanks to our brave fundraisers and their amazing supporters.
The animals are losing out on over R20 000 every month
Our former MySchool supporter base was 3,976 people. Today, just 305 supporters are linked to our SPCA through the new Woolworths MyDifference loyalty programme. The difference is devastating. And the shortfall massive.
A huge ‘thank you’ to our ABSA runners
On Sunday, 12 July, our dedicated Team SPCA laced up their running shoes and took on the ABSA Run Your City 10km – not just for the finish line, but for the thousands of animals who rely on us every day.
Sometimes, all it takes is one person to care.
We are overjoyed to share the happiest ending … Nandi has been ADOPTED!
130 pawsome years of ‘speaking’ for animals
This year is a special milestone birthday for us. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating 130 years of ‘speaking’ for animals … of rescuing those that fall down drains or get stuck … of prosecuting owners who beat, starve or neglect their pets … of investigated circuses, pet shops and farming operations … and of teaching children to respect and care for all animals.
Paws for thought with Caroline Smith
We have been serving animals for 130 years! Take a moment to let that sink in … and imagine what life was like for our founders back in 1896.
