Rafiki’s Return

11th Oct, 2017
When a sturdy little Jack Russell male of around seven years old came in as a stray on the 28th of August 2017 he was, of course, scanned for a microchip. When it was ascertained that the little dog was indeed microchipped, kennel assistant Lilanie Hart immediately logged on to Identipet’s website and punched in the microchip number; details of a Mrs Price from Greenside, Johannesburg, popped up on the screen. ...read more

Twiggy’s Tale

6th Oct, 2017
A heavy U-bolt pierced the emaciated dog’s foot behind her Achilles tendon; she was tethered by this U-bolt to a pole in a filthy yard. The foot had begun to die off and infection had set in, and she was barely clinging to life. ...read more
A loud calling for help came from the Mdzananda Animal Clinic’s front gate late one afternoon in July 2017. The Clinic had already closed for the day and most staff had gone home; fortunately, two staff members were still on site. Two elderly ladies were calling desperately, beckoning for our staff to come closer: “A man – he just put a small animal into a drain. Please help!” they exclaimed. ...read more
When we first met Stanley Jacobs and his beautiful cream-and-white dog, Meira, on Doring Road in Vrygrond, it was simply to treat her skin allergy but, upon closer inspection, we noticed that her left eye was closed and watering quite severely. Stanley was very happy for us to take Meira to be seen by a vet… but under no circumstances was he going to agree that we spay her. ...read more
It’s lunchtime on Monday 14th August 2017 when in walk three young lads from Lewisham, Krugersdorp. They pass a storm water pipe on the way to and from school every day; the concrete pipe runs under a busy road and, inside, a mother dog and her pups have made their home. ...read more
In 2013 I rescued a little Yorkie from a caged environment (not a breeder), where he was cold, afraid and hungry for both food and love. I took him home to the sanctuary where he could run free among many dogs. But he didn’t; he wouldn’t let himself be free. ...read more
A homeowner living in a complex in the Mount Edgecombe (KZN) area contacted me asking for help in trapping a black cat that had been eating regularly at her place for the last six months. She’d noticed that its skin condition was poor and it was very thin when it arrived, and she needed help to get it vet-checked and sterilised, if needed. ...read more

Lucky Lewis

15th Sep, 2017
Less than a month after his second birthday and at the start of the Father’s Day long weekend, little Peanut found himself all alone at the vet in Graaff-Reinet. His owners had requested that he be put to sleep because he’d managed to escape their yard. Luckily for him, the lady at the vet decided to contact Camdeboo Sterilisation Initiative (CSI) to ask if they could find Peanut a new, safe home. ...read more

Rescuing Rae

13th Sep, 2017
The tiny tabby kitten was starving, emaciated and so dehydrated that he cried when touched, no matter how gently. He was so weak he could not stand or walk; he was also suffering from hypoproteinaemia (low protein/protein deficiency), was extremely anaemic and had a heavy worm burden. But, where there’s life there’s hope – and we were determined to give him the best chance at life we could… ...read more
