As they wait for their perfect matches, Mdzananda is encouraging the community to express their love by sponsoring a rescue animal for this special day. ‘Instead of chocolates or flowers that fade, a sponsorship gift creates real, lasting impact,’ says Marcelle du Plessis, Fundraising and Communications Executive.

- R300 – Two weeks of nutritious meals
- R500 – A full month of care, comfort, and shelter
- R600 – Wholesome meals for an entire month
