March 2021 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

INTRODUCTION We are an independent Non-profit organization that was founded in 2010 by a group of individuals who were concerned about the well-being of the animals in Orkney as there was no SPCA. Our main objective is to rehabilitate and re-home as many of the unwanted and homeless cats and dogs as we can. Our policy is that all our animals are sterilised / castrated before being permanently rehomed, as we are apposed to breeding.

In January 2020 the SPCA in Klerksdorp closed due to the lack of funds and aid from the community. The NSPCA approached us to take over the property and their responsibilities and pound duties in the KOSH area. We then relocated from our Anglogold premises next to Westvaal Hospital, Orkney to the old SPCA premises in Klerksdorp.

VET COSTS - MONTHLY R 2 500 R 7 000 PETROL - MONTHLY R 1 500 R 4 000 3 events since January 2020 due to Approx. 8 per year FUNDRAISERS / EVENTS Covid restrictions.

80% of surrendered animal are due the financial pressure that the Covid pandemic has brought to the country.

We have also found a marked increase in abandoned animals where owners have moved and left the animals behind.

FUNDING

90 % our funding presently comes from a few loyal individuals that have been assisting the shelter for many years. We have no assistance from the Government.

It is obvious from the aforementioned figures that our funding requirements have substantially increased. Our short-term goals are as follows:

 Approach local companies / industries for their support, either :

* with a fixed monthly financial commitment or * arranging fundraising events

 Aggressive marketing of our ‘Sponsor a Kennel’ @ R200 per month

We are convinced that with the support of the community as a whole, our Shelter will be able to provide a professional pound / shelter service.

Seats are available on our Governing Committee and we would welcome a few of our monthly sponsors to join us.

We are registered with the Department of Social Development as a non-profit organization. NPO / PBO and Tax Exempt numbers for all donations.
