Street Dogs Sterilization (S.D.S)
We may not see many stray dogs where we live but go off the beaten track into the streets of industrial estates and you will hear the small cries of newborn puppies or see orphaned puppies playing on the streets, oblivious to on-coming traffic. Stray dogs generally don’t live very long, often dying in road accidents, starvation, illness and dog fights; mainly for food or sex. Male dogs tend to fight for the females when she comes into season.

Countless puppies fighting for food. They learn to fight from a very young age because they have to survive. |

Help sterilize these street dogs so they longer have to endure the pain and suffering of being mated by numerous male dogs and giving birth under bushes, in the drains, etc |
Female dogs can go on heat twice a year, each time producing at least 4 to 8 puppies |
What if we had not chanced upon Dawn and rescued her? |
Often when we rescue strays, they dont even know how to drink from water bowls |
What if our paths did not cross? |

These stray dogs provide companionship to security guards in industrial sites, as well as warn them of intruders as the dogs would often be the first to bark and alert.
Street Cat Sterilization (SCS)
Every year thousands of healthy cats are euthanized because of complaints by residents that the cats have been a nuisance, messing up void decks with food waste. Male unsterilized cats also prove to be a nuisance when they caterwaul to mate with a female cat.
Cats in industrial estates
The Solution
• Caregivers should sterilize the cats to control the population
• Caregivers should feed responsibly and clear-up after the cat has finished eating. By leaving food waste around, it encourages rodents and gives residents more reason to complain
Together, as a community, we can help solve the problems of unwanted and abandoned cats both domestic and feral. We strive to lower these numbers and the only possible humane way is sterilization.
What is a Feral Cat?
Feral cats are the "wild" off-springs of domestic cats and are primarily the result of pet owners' abandonment or failure to sterilize animals, allowing them to breed uncontrolled. Feral cat "colonies" can be found behind shopping areas, in alleys, parks, abandoned buildings and industrial areas. They are elusive and do not trust humans.

A pair of breeding cats, which can have two or more litters per year, can exponentially produce a few hundred off-springs by the following year.
Sterilizing eliminates annoying behaviours associated with mating and it costs less to spay a cat, rather than to pay the pest control to exterminate the cats. Vacated areas will soon be filled by other cats who will start the breeding process again.
If you are feeding a cat in your area, we invite you to be part of the sterilization solution. We can assist you with low-cost sterilization for street cats, as well as loan you a humane cat trap and demonstrate how to use these traps.

Sterilization is but a small investment for a long term solution.

To all the people who feed strays, help, rescue and care for them; we thank you for making that difference in their lives. We hope you continue to do so because the meal you provide them with, may be the only decent meal they have had all week. Thank you for loving them.
