SPCA King Williams Town on Algoa Cares

Algoa Cares June 22nd : The King Williams Town and District SPCA

The KWT SPCA is an NGO which renders vital services to King Williams Town and the surrounding areas. Unfortunately they are battling to survive. 
Their daily mission is to  prevent cruelty and the ill treatment of animals at the hands of man. They also work tirelessly to prevent the wanton and improper treatment of animals. Their aim is to educate wherever possible, to encourage kindness,compassion and consideration towards all animals. Through their Junior Movement programmes, they hope to teach youngsters how to take care of and treat animals well. In addition to this they work to maintain and protect animal and bird life in their natural habitats. Everyday they alleviate the suffering of many animals. Sterilisation is an essential part of the service that they offer so as to keep the dog population down. As with any other shelter, they are over run with strays and even folk dumping their dogs or surrendering them because they cannot afford to take care of them anymore. 

Unfortunately, they now find themselves in a position where dire financial straits threatens their very existence.  They are facing the very real possibility of closure. They now cannot afford to render services such as picking up dogs in the street and taking them into their care. Doing so incurs both costs and staff time. Sadly, the municipality is not compensating the municipalities for this work.
