Second Chance Sanctuary

Good Morning Animal Lovers!

We will be featuring blogs on the charities we have listed so that you can learn a little more about them...

First up is Second Chance Sanctuary, here is what Cherece told us:

Annie SCS's blind feral cat.

In 2008, after a 5 week old rescue
kitten died from a dreaded disease, we
found our lives taking a whole new
direction and a passion was birthed, a
passion we have never dreamed of. We
wanted to honour 



Second Chance Sanctuary is a non-profit, pro-life organisation based on the
Bluff in Durban. We currently home, nurture and care for 98 resident cats that
have been rescued from severe abuse, abandonment, trauma, neglect and other
horrific acts inflicted by humans. Many of these cats are special need cases,
have physical defects and are terminally ill.

We totally rely on donations and our virtual adoption program to keep the sanctuary running. Due to the extreme situations these cats came from they need constant specialised treatment, veterinary care and high quality food to keep their weak immune systems going. The sanctuary also relies on volunteers for their work in fostering homeless animals until they can be
adopted into their forever homes.

All our residents are sterilised, inoculated, treated monthly for fleas and
ticks and regularly wormed. The cats don’t live in cages and have free access wherever they want as long as they stay in the perimeter of the sanctuary.
To keep them confined we installed a cat proof fencing as well as a low
voltage electric fence to prevent the cats from roaming or running away.

Mean while at SCS...

SECOND CHANCE CHIPPING:

Working in the rescue industry, we have noticed that there are far too
many animals that are not microchipped and never reunited with their owners. 

The amounts of animals that go missing, get hijacked in cars, stolen for
fighting and smuggling is reaching epidemic proportions, and it is a necessity
that as many people get educated about microchipping to save their animals’
life in the event of such misfortune.

We have become extremely passionate about spreading the word for pet owners
to microchip their pets, and we have taken the next step into supplying this
important service at a low once off cost of R145 per animal.

If you would like to know more about Second Chance Sanctuary or Microchipping your pet at low cost, please feel free to contact us.

Kind Regards
