TEARS Animal Rescue is thrilled to announce the commencement of ticket sales for its 2023 Sleepathon.
As the flagship fundraiser for the organisation, the TEARS Sleepathon has established itself as a cherished annual tradition, inviting animal enthusiasts of all ages to devote a night to snuggling with rescue pets while championing a noble cause, generating awareness and fundraising for the charity.

The 2023 Sleepathon will happen on the 11, 18 and 25 of November, with each ticket priced at R250 per person.
Upon registration as a ‘Snoozer,’ participants will receive a welcome pack designed to kick-start their individual Back-A-Snoozer funding campaigns.
The revenue generated from the annual TEARS Sleepathon will go towards supporting the organisation’s mobile clinic and veterinary outreach services during the busy December and January holidays.
Luke Kruyt, the TEARS Kennel Manager, commented, ‘While the TEARS Sleepathon has become an iconic brand building and fundraising lifeline for the organisation, it’s also a life-changing experience for our rescue pets, as some have been fortunate enough to be adopted as a direct result of the Sleepathon.’
Last year, the Sleepathon received tremendous support from 206 dedicated ‘Sleepathoners,’ whose collective efforts yielded over R380 000.
Luke further added, ‘We’re grateful for the loyalty of our regular supporters, but we would like to challenge Capetonians who haven’t ever considered a sleepover in support of rescue pets to sign up for this unique experience that is especially fun for families. The event provides a friendly, loving and heartwarming environment with pawsome partners, prizes, delicious food and entertainment.’
Snoozers are required to check in at the shelter at 5pm, and are asked to bring sleeping bags, camping gear, snacks and treats. The Sleepathon officially concludes at 7am the following morning.
Local businesses and lifestyle brands interested in engaging with an audience of animal lovers while championing a noble cause can explore exclusive sponsor and partner packages. These packages offer a range of association rights and exposure benefits.

TEARS Animal Rescue remains committed to its mission of rescuing, treating, rehabilitating and rehoming vulnerable companion animals.
As a pro-life, public-benefit organisation equipped with a veterinary hospital, two mobile clinics and a cattery and kennel housing up to 230 rescued companion animals, TEARS relies on the compassion and support of individuals and corporations.
This support enables them to provide free sterilisation, vaccinations and primary healthcare to at-risk and homeless pets in the Southern Peninsula.
