  • Kimberley SPCA has a responsibility to conduct services ethically and responsibly during the lockdown period. This means that certain services or activities both inside and outside our facility will have to be halted during this period and essential animal welfare issues should take centre stage.

     

    With immediate effect:

    1. No new adoption applications will be accepted. The reason for the temporary halt is that our inspector cannot conduct pre-home inspections during the lockdown. We will also not be able to administer vaccinations or have the animals sterilized during this time; both aspects are crucial parts of the adoption procedure; and
    2. Our boarding facility will only take new boarders in emergency cases (for example: owners have been hospitalized and do not have anyone to take care of their animals).

    Starting Friday 27 March 2020:

    1. All volunteering services are suspended. The President has ordered members of the public to stay at home for during the lockdown in order to curb the spread of the virus. Our staff has sacrificed the comforts of their own homes to stay on our premises to tend to the animals in our care. We have a responsibility to protect both our staff and the public, by avoiding human-to-human-contact as far as possible;
    2. Our Lost & Found department will remain active, but strict access measures will apply to our facility. The public will be met at our main gate for a determination. We ask that you please call our office before driving to our facility. Also have a photo ready of your lost pet; and
    3. Our Pound will remain active, but strict access measures will apply to our facility. Anyone bringing in a stray animal will be met at our main gate. While we will do our best to assist with stray animals in the streets, in some instances our inspectorate will only be able to collect confined stray animals.

    We remain dedicated to our core function; the prevention of cruelty to animals.


    If you are aware of any abandoned animals or animal cruelty, please call our
    Emergency Number on 082 376 7679
    or send a WhatsApp to our Complaints Department on 082 932 9182.

     

    Information on the Kimberley SPCA

    General information on the NSPCA

    Mission: To prevent cruelty and promote the welfare of all animals.
    Vision: To end animal cruelty in South Africa and to engender compassion for all animals.
    Who are we?
    The National Council of SPCAs (NSPCA) was founded in 1955 as the Federation of SPCAs to provide a forum to bring uniformity to welfare legislation and standards. The 90+ member SPCAs in South Africa are governed by the SPCA Act 169 of 1993 which is administered by the NSPCA, constituting us as a statutory body. Inspectors are authorised in terms of the Animals Protection Act 71 of 1962 and the Performing Animals Protection Act No. 24 of 1935 with the SPCA movement collectively undertaking over 90% of all animal welfare investigations and prosecutions in South Africa.
    Apart from dealing with legislation and specialist matters, the NSPCA also operates in areas where there is no existing SPCA, or where support is required, or has been specifically requested, or in response to disasters (i.e. emergencies, floods, fires).
    National issues include but not limited to
    • Awareness Campaigns
    • Community Outreaches
    • Compilation of Codes and Regulations
    • Development of Committees
    • Development of Units or Standards within industries that utilise animals
    • Disaster Response
    • Education

      I found a young cape cobra in my kitchen this morning. Called Mario from the SPCA who collected the critter and took him to a safe new home outside of Kimberley.

      Thanks
      Mario.
