The Roodepoort SPCA needs financial support and is turning to the community for help. With Lotto no longer supporting animal welfare, there is a fear that the Roodepoort organisation will follow in the footsteps of the Krugersdorp SPCA, and close down.
There are various ways to assist the Roodepoort SPCA, such as sponsoring a kennel for a dog or cat for R500 per month. You can take out a MY SCHOOL card with the Roodepoort SPCA as the named beneficiary at no cost to yourself. Collect blankets, collars, leads and bowls from friends, colleagues and loved ones. Donate directly into the organisation’s bank account (Standard Bank, account number 021145571, branch code 015641, current account). The Roodepoort SPCA also has fund-raising activities, and thrift- and bookshops that the community can support. Assist by promoting the donation of items needed to operate effectively. This includes photocopy paper (for admission forms, adoption papers and preparing dockets for court cases) and printer cartridges.
“Our fuel costs are high. We collect unwanted or injured animals, respond to reports of cruelty and have an emergency service on standby 24/7/365. We cover both Roodepoort and Krugersdorp – a vast area. We would greatly appreciate it if someone came forward and sponsored a monthly tank of fuel, or if a filling station was prepared to step up and become a valued sponsor. The Roodepoort community is caring and for this we thank you. Let’s work together to ensure that our animals are cared for and protected. With your help we can do this and move forward together.”
