LEAPS (established 2008) is a registered, non-profit animal welfare organisation that is dedicated to helping animals in need in the areas of Elands Bay, Lamberts Bay and Vredenburg up the West Coast, 220 km from Cape Town (those areas that are often forgotten).
Our goal is to help all those in need over this busy Christmas, so that LEAPS can make sure all these animals have a home and a family that will love and care for them and make them feel safe, valued, healthy and loved.
Why we have chosen LEAPS as this year's contribution:
1. They educate township pet owners to better care for their pets and to assist with the medical needs of the animals. Education is key to ensure the wellbeing of township animals. They provide this education as well as medical assistance, particularly with regard to mass sterilisations, vaccinations, feeding programmes and providing shelter to hundreds of animals. They also provide food on an ongoing basis to those who cannot afford to feed their pets.
2. They rescue, rehabilitate and rehome unwanted and/or homeless animals. They are a foster-based organisation and have no shelter, that means they rely on volunteers to care for any unwanted animals whilst they find a suitable home for them. Before placing animals in foster care, they ensure the animal has received any vet care they may need (incl. vaccinations and sterilisation) and the foster family has been screened accordingly. Once a potential new family has completed the adoption process, the animal moves on to his/her forever home.
How can you help us?
Please drop off any items of dry or wet food for both dogs or cats! We will also collect any toys, blankets or carriers to assist with the many items LEAPS needs in order to keep their fur-babies happy and comfortable.
Collection times are from 15 November - 19th December 2019any time between Monday - Sunday between 08h00 - 16h00, but please do get in touch with us if a special time needs to be arranged for you. Please feel free to contact us on 021 788 6068 or events@casalabia.co.za for any questions
