The Animal Welfare Society of South Africa is in dire need of assistance after the devastating storm that hit Cape Town on Sunday caused significant damage to its facility. The organisation’s hospital, which provides crucial medical care to animals in need, has been severely affected, with large amounts of food and supplies being water-damaged.
Storm Damage Extent
The heavy rains and powerful winds have caused extensive damage to the hospital and parts of the property, where donated food supplies are stored. Sadly, a large amount of food used for hospital patients and the adoption department has been severely water-damaged. Despite the challenges, the organisation’s teams have been working tirelessly to assist pets and families in distress, while also trying to manage the damage and keep the hospital running.
According to the South African National Parks website, the recent storms have had a significant impact on the environment and wildlife in the region. The organisation is now appealing for public assistance to help them continue their vital work during this difficult time.
Donations Needed
The Animal Welfare Society of South Africa is desperately in need of donations, including food, blankets, and towels. Due to the ongoing rain and damp conditions, the organisation is struggling to keep these essential items dry, making donations even more critical for the animals in their care. A list of needed items includes:
- Dry food for dogs and cats
- Blankets and towels
- Medical supplies, such as bandages and antibiotics
Every donation, no matter how small, will make a direct difference to animals who have nowhere else to turn. The organisation is grateful for any support it can receive during this challenging time.
