Dear CHAIN Supporter

Our next mass sterilization (Spayathon) is happening later this month, on 23 and 24 May in the outskirts of Cape Town. This time Drs Doempies Triegaardt and Ben Burton (Tulbagh Veterinary Practice) will be the vets assisting us to sterilize close to 90 animals over the two day period.

We need practical assistance from the community for us to make a difference to the over population problem and for this event to be a success. Here’s how you can help:

Sponsoring an animal: The total average cost per animal is R280. Times are tight and this is unaffordable for many of the pet owners who wish to have their animal/s sterilised (and some have more than 1 pet). Sponsoring a spay or neuter will change that animal’s life for the better FOREVER! Please consider making a donation in this regard.

Our bank details for EFT payments: CHAIN Boland, Standard Bank, Tulbagh. Account : 085958557, Branch : 050307.

Please use “Spayathon” as a reference. Alternatively cash may be given to any of the committee members.

Identifying an animal: Maybe the dog or cat of your maid, your garden boy or the staff on your property needs to be sterilized. Perhaps you can encourage them, assist them with completing the booking form and possibly cash flow arrangement for payment? Booking forms are available from Gaynor (@ Spar) or email chain-boland@mweb.co.za.

Blankets & Newspapers: We require old blankets and towels to keep the animals warm while they are recovering from surgery. The newspapers we use to try and keep things clean as we go through the day. Both are very important. Should you be able to assistance with blankets, towels or newspapers please drop them off at Mari Lane in Van Der Stel Street (they have kindly agreed to be a collection point for us).

Cages: We require additional carry cages for cats and dogs as most pet owners do not have these. We use these when collecting animals from the homes, keeping them separate before surgery, if they are aggressive or excited, during the recovery process and for delivery after surgery. Should you have any cages or secure baskets that we could use, they can also be delivered to Mari Lane (make sure they are marked with your name and number so we can return them to you).

Thank you for your support!!
