The SPCA needs your support
The SPCA is calling on the community for urgent assistance after thieves damaged their main gate and stole the motor, compromising security.
VEREENIGING – The SPCA is reaching out to the community, as they urgently need support to continue caring for animals in need.
“Just when we think things can’t get any worse, we arrive at our offices to find our main gate broken open and our gate motor stolen,” says Marlien de Klerk, manager of the Vereeniging/Vanderbijlpark SPCA.
The damage left behind is heartbreaking. What was once a secure entrance has been destroyed to steal the gate motor.
“It is not just about property damage. Our animals, as well as our staff, are now at risk because our premises are no longer properly secured,” says De Klerk.
The local SPCA in Vereeniging and Vanderbijlpark is a beacon of hope for countless animals. The SPCA stretches every cent, as they rely on the kindness of the community to keep their doors open.
Not only do they need funds to repair the gate, but they also need to replace the motor – an unplanned expense they simply cannot afford.
“It is with a heavy heart and an urgent plea that we are reaching out for help. Without government or municipal support, our mission to care for and protect animals relies entirely on the kindness and generosity of our community,” explains De Klerk.
“We are facing a critical financial challenge. Without your support, our ability to provide essential veterinary care to animals in need is severely threatened.”
