‘Animals are in crisis and so are we’ pleads the SPCA.
The institution has been directly addressing the root cause of pet overpopulation and the resultant neglect of unwanted animals with aggressive sterilisation drives in several communities.

These preventative measures are taken to provide a high quality of life for pets and owners alike.
For the past month, these sterilisation drives have been underway in Atlantis.
On Friday past, the SPCA Inspectorate and the City of Cape Town Law Enforcement: Animal Control Unit, returned to Atlantis for the third consecutive week with the aim of providing essential health care and sterilisation services to pets in the community.

As it stands, 284 animals have been checked, dewormed and vaccinated. 113 animals in the community have been sterilised.
The SPCA views these initiatives as an investment into a kinder world for animals and a sustainable future for animal welfare.
They’ve declared a war against pet overpopulation.
