Vets bring healing for Mandela Day
For the project to be successful, volunteers as well as funds are needed.
Lowveld Vet in White River will once again host a special Mandela Day spay-athon on July 18.
This year they plan to sterilise 60 dogs and cats at no charge in the community of KaBokweni, as well as some from Katoen, Msholozi, White River SPCA and a feral cat population.
The project entails collecting the animals from the owners, bringing them to the practice in town and returning them.
They will also set up two stations in KaBokweni, at the sports grounds at Dwaleni and on the main road next to Maphakama Primary School.
There they will have a vet doing vaccinations and volunteers assisting with tick and flea treatment, deworming as well as offering educational talks on animal care to pet owners.
As many dogs as possible will be vaccinated against rabies too.
The project aims to improve quality of life of pets and prevent suffering of future litters.
For the project to be successful, volunteers as well as funds are needed.
Donations such as blankets, dog and cat food, beds, bowls and toys, and refreshments for volunteers are welcome. Enquiries: René on 072-959-9511.
