Dear animal friend,

30 years of love. 30 years of care. And now, we need you more than ever.

This year, Mdzananda Animal Clinic and Shelter celebrates 30 years of serving the animals of Khayelitsha. But alongside our celebrations comes a heartbreaking challenge: the loss of our main funder who is not currently renewing their grants in South Africa.

So, for our 30th birthday, we have one very special wish: 1,000 Paw Supporters, each giving R100 per month. Together, you can help us bridge our funding gap and ensure we can continue caring for the animals who need us most.

Please take just two minutes to watch the video below and see the difference your support will make.

Then, please give us the greatest birthday gift of all: sign up for a monthly debit order and become a Paw Supporter – a loyal part of our family who helps keep our doors open and tails wagging.
