She reminded anyone wishing to adopt an animal that a pet is a responsibility and often a long-term commitment.

“The SPCA is filled with beautiful, happy animals that have not always had the privilege of a responsible owner and they are waiting for their chance at a happy ending. All they want for Christmas is you,” she said.

There will be hourly appointments available over the course of the day to accommodate any adoptions.

“Walk-ins are welcome, but we ask people to be patient. Normal adoption procedures will still be followed, including a home inspection and socialisation,” she added.

To book an appointment, contact the SPCA on 031 764 1212 or email the adoption officer, Tania, at adoption@kloofspca.co.za.
