Saldanha Animal Care is a rescue group based in the Saldanha area and made up of volunteers that are committed to helping with the problem of unwanted cats and dogs due to lack of spay/neuter.

​

​

Our aim is to educate township pet owners to better care for their pets. We are constantly fund raising to assist with the medical needs of the animals, particularly with regard to mass sterilisations, feeding programmes and providing shelter to hundreds of animals. Our closest vet is 15kms one-way and we often have to transport ill or injured pets utilising our own vehicles. Ideally, we are aiming to grow by constructing a structure from where we can work. We currently walk door to door, and administer assistance in the street.

We understand that it is not always easy for people to simply make monetary donations, therefore most of our fundraising is achieved by arranging entertaining fundraising events and projects where our donors can enjoy themselves and at the same time get to know who we are and what we do purely for the love of animals. 

​Many people ask, “What do we need?” To be honest, we need just about anything you can think of for an animal; food, food and food, blankets, shelters, money for medicine and veterinary assistance, money to hopefully buy or build a permanent structure from where we can work in the township, and so we could carry on indefinitely. With the help of our supporters, we continue to work to achieve our goals of sterilising as many animals as possible and teaching township pet owners that a pet is more than just an item of ownership, but a loving sentient being.
