Mandate
-
Animal Lifeline operates within under-resourced rural and urban communities in Cape Town
-
Our core focus is primary prevention which entails the education of owners and sterilisation of their pets
-
Adopting a 'duty to care' approach and based on a 'means' test, Animal Lifeline Volunteers collaborate with owners to uplift the circumstances of their sterilised pets; issuing kennels, providing basic preventative care and parasite treatment and supplemental feed until the owner can care for their pets independently. Naturally this is funding-dependent
-
Our goal is an 80-20 split of resources and capacity between prevention and intervention
"
Being poor does not make a person incapable of loving their pet
"
Duty to Care:
Projects
In accordance with the ethos of 'duty to care' our projects include :
-
"Don't let them go hungry" - supplemental and subsidised feeding of sterilised vulnerable pets
-
"Winter Woofs & Meows" - the provision of kennels for sterilised dogs (and cats where indicated)
-
Optimal health - De-worming and tick and flea prevention as well as treatment for mites and sarcoptic mange
-
Free to be - Unchaining of pets is a complex process and one that we prioritise for education and rehabilitation
Metrics

*Sterilisations were not possible during hard lockdown due to legislative constraints
"
The sad reality is that if we don’t supply food many of the pets we serve will go hungry
