The Animal Anti-Cruelty League in Cape Town is facing challenges in drying their blankets and towels due to the prolonged wet weather in the region. They have issued a plea for assistance in acquiring a secondhand tumble dryer or donations to purchase one.
Known for its wet winters, the Cape has experienced continuous storms without much respite, leaving many individuals struggling to cope. The Animal Anti-Cruelty League relies on air drying their blankets to keep the animals warm and cosy.
However, the persistent wet weather has made it impossible to keep up with the washing demand at both of their branches. The increased moisture in the air has significantly prolonged the drying time, putting a strain on their blanket supply.
The League is calling on the public for support. If you are able to provide a secondhand tumble dryer or make a donation towards purchasing one, it would greatly assist in their efforts to care for the animals during the winter months. Additionally, any spare blankets or towels would be welcomed.
To offer assistance, you can reach out to the Animal Anti-Cruelty League via their Facebook page or make a donation using the following banking details:
