Doggie from Bottleray farm area
2011/11/13
RIP Angel.... We rushed this poor doggie to the vet (see post below) after being hit by a train according to family members (they live just off Bottlerary Road, at Koelenhof near to the railway line). Needless to say Sheree and Lindie got there in lightening time. Poor baby was in immense pain, crying, lost 2 feet, suffered internal injuries, bleeding from the mouth and according to the vet had suffered brain damage. Thankfully her owners called Lindie who called us for help. The vet arrived in lightening speed after already seeing to another callout . Thanks to Stellenbosch Animal Hospital, doggie was put to sleep and sent to doggie heaven being held by it's caregiver.We are very grateful for small mercies. Doggie didn't have to lie in pain for days.

Doggie from Bloekombos
2012/01/09
We came across this Fox Terrier girl during collection of animals for a mass spay day recently in Bloekombos. We were unfortunately too late for this angel who has been in agony for 2 months! Apparently a seed or something like that got into her nasal cavity and created a massive infection, which internally broke most of the bone structure :( We thought we could save this little sweetie but Dr Roos who we have every faith in says no. We have ended this poor creatures suffering. RIP Sweetheart.
Kitten from De Novo
2012/02/17
Another day, another tragedy :( Lindie found this paralysed kitten in De Novo a poor area close to Bloekombos an hour ago and raced her immediately to Brackenfell Vet for treatment. The kitten was in a lot of pain, shaking and in shock and was completely lame from the tummy down. The vet examined her and said the prognosis was not good at all and he suspected a spinal injury. We don't prolong suffering so we sent the little kitten to heaven and made sure she felt love in her last moments on earth. R.I.P. Kitty :((
