Animal shelter out of cat food, help online
No more food for around 700 cats at Wollies animal shelter. Pet lovers can make use of online platforms to help.
Wollies animal shelter in the north of Pretoria is in desperate need of cat food.
The shelter takes care of around 700 cats and 700 dogs, and has run out of adult cat and kitten food.
“I had to go buy food myself, because we are completely out of cat food,” said Cilla Trexler, owner of Wollies, on Thursday.
Wollies is a non-profit organisation that is completely dependent on donations from its community.
On their social media pages, the shelter has made a plea for any donations of kitten food (dry and wet), adult cat food (dry and cans), cat litter and kitten milk.
“I know being in lockdown makes it difficult for people to come and deliver donations themselves, which is why we also want to remind people that they can shop online and have the food delivered to us,” said Trexler.
Cat food can be purchased online and people can use Wollies’ address for delivery:
101 Rooikat Street, Hestea Park, Pretoria North.

The shelter is still open for public visits: Mondays to Saturdays (closed on Wednesdays) from 09:00 to 17:00, and Sundays from 09:00 to 12:00.
