​​Mooi River & District SPCA

Every SPCA is supported by local funding – there is no support from the national government and branches are not ‘franchises’ for National Council. Without local donations, your SPCA will not survive. Some ways to assist include:

 

• Donate money: By donating via EFT or debit order (you will need to go to your bank for this), you can deposit an amount of your choice into the bank account of your own local SPCA. Rather than supporting a national cause you’ll be making a huge difference to your own community’s animals. Tax certificates are provided on request. Please clearly mark your donation with your name so we can acknowledge your generosity with a thank you letter and a certificate of amounts collected for shops and other commercial outlets. Should you prefer to contribute towards a specific cost centre such as veterinary bills, food, outreach work etc, this is easy to arrange.

 

• Fundraise: The SPCA always needs help with fundraising. There are a few large events each year that are organised by the SPCA itself (for example the 1000 Paws Walk), but we need sustained funding throughout the year. Why not come up with your own ideas to help? Host a lunch or tea and ask guests to donate money or a tin of food for the SPCA. Put together a raffle and donate the funds to the SPCA. Have a cake sale, a book sale or jumble sale...the list is endless and only limited by your imagination!

 

• Donate food: Food for the animals at the kennels is a major expense for the SPCA, so by collecting dry or tinned dog or cat food you will be helping save money that can be spent elsewhere (on veterinary fees, for example).

 

• Donate time: We always need people to help out, either to assist with projects such as fundraising or educational talks about the SPCA at local schools, or to share professional expertise. Perhaps you can help as a bookkeeper assisting as a committee member, or if you are a builder or handyman you could repair things at the kennels.

 

• Sponsor a kennel or cat: For just R300 per month you can sponsor a kennel and for R200 per month you can sponsor a cat in the cattery.

 

• Give a gift: Ask your friends and family to donate to our SPCA in lieu of anniversary, birthday or wedding gifts. If you notify us in advance, we can prepare a certificate, letter or card to show that they have given to us.
