Open Wednesday, Friday, Saturday

Come along and browse, buy and support Friends of Care!
Lockdown continues as does our animal feeding scheme - we deliver food three times a week to two of our community members in White City, strategically situated to allow for fair distribution.
The feeders are filled and other food is collected by the children to take home and augment their pet's food.
A lot of these dogs are loose making it easier for them to forage. Cats are free roaming hunters and therefore require less attention than dogs. Although we do provide for the older and younger cats not so adept at hunting.
We will continue to do this as long as funds allow us provide.

White City Project : Oct – Dec – every Tuesday : 12h00 – 16h00 : Day 6 – 5 November 2019

Persons attending - Del Jones and Ilana Van der Colff
Over an hour was taken up with the following calls or complaints that needed attending to as well as follow ups from last week. 15 follow ups and calls were completed, there were three warnings that some work had been done but not everything had been complied to – these will be rechecked next week. On the checks, especially those who really didn't make a huge effort, we found the owners to be quite defensive and almost questioning as why we were at their house again – this was explained to them in no uncertain terms. We completed two half streets – we have the residual of Wynruit, Kareeboom, Akkerboom and Pepperboom left to do. 40 houses checked 31 dogs, 11 cats were observed – checked where necessary 11 sterilisations were booked 4 written warnings issued – mostly short chain, food and water – 1 for denial of veterinary treatment 5 instruction letters given 7 treatments 2 x stitch removal 2 x complaints 4 lots of food handed out to mothers with litters – just to fatten a little for spaying 4 kittens were brought to us they were in a box and extremely hot actually panting. We are going to try and find homes 1 is already there, the other 3 are presently with a foster. It was an extremely hot afternoon which makes it uncomfortable for us – good time to think about the minority of dogs out there that are chained in the sun. White City Project Oct – Dec – every Tuesday 12h00 – 16h00 Day 4 – 22 October 2019 Persons attending: Del Jones and Andy Robertson The first hour was taken up with the following calls or complaints that needed attending to, as well as follow ups from last week: Deliver dip & instructions to 17 Kareeboom for Japie Jantjies usage 36/29 Loop St - check on dog from spay day Cnr Tindall and Willie Meyer check for a black dog with mange 26 Kankerbos - bitch and pups from Saturday spay day |
