‘Welcome to the world of the Mdzananda
Animal Clinic - the only permanent, veterinary council registered animal clinic
in Khayelitsha, a township area just outside Cape Town, South Africa, estimated
to be home to more than a million people.’
This is the short description on the
Facebook page of Mdzananda Animal Clinic that has been running out of six
recycled shipping crates since 1996.
They consult, hospitalize and in
general, see around 1000 animals a month and if that sounds tough, just imagine
how much more tough it is during the freezing winter months!
Unfortunately many of the animals come
out of surgery and then don’t make it through the recovery period due to the
extreme cold.
Due to hefty electricity bills they are
forced to switch off heaters and instead rely on less effective ways like
bubble wrap on the windows and keeping doors closed to keep the heat in.
This NGO is in just as much need of
basic goods such as polar fleece blankets, pet food and goods for their charity
shop as they are of more expensive things like surgical equipment, spay kits
and an ultra sound machine.
There are endless ways in which we can
all make a contribution to this amazing organization. Visit, Like and hit the
Share button on their Facebook page or visit their website for more
information. Below is a great kennel building event happening the 18th of July.
Licks & Kisses!
