Cape of Good Hope 133rd Annual Report 2011
Without a doubt one of the highlights of the
year was receiving funding from the National
Lottery Distribution Trust Fund (NLDTF) for the
construction of a new Short-Term Wildlife Care
Facility at the SPCA in Grassy Park. Just under
R4 million was awarded to us for this critical
new facility, which once completed will serve
Cape Town’s wildlife for many years to come.
We hope you enjoy reading this review, which
can only give you a flavour of the progress the
CoGH SPCA has made in the past fiscal year. We
are both extremely proud of the Society and the
activities described in the following pages and
we hope you are too.
Dr John Oakley Allan Perrins
As the world celebrated South Africa’s successful
hosting of the FIFA World Cup, our celebrations
were for the imminent finalisation of the City of
Cape Town’s new Animal Control by-laws. Since it
was first proposed three years ago, our SPCA has
played a leading role in drafting and advocating
for a comprehensive set of laws that will
strengthen our ability to help prevent cruelty and
protect animals. It is by no means a perfect piece
of legislation, but it is a huge improvement on
what existed before and if adequately enforced
will have a significant positive impact on the lives
and well-being of animals in the city.
Whilst the recession has affected our efforts
to grow income more than we have, it has also
resulted in a greater number of animals being
abandoned and fewer people being able to afford
to adopt and give an animal a second chance in a
loving new home. However, despite the drop in
our adoption numbers, our commitment to keep
encouraging Capetonians to adopt rather than
buy a pet has continued.
ForewordDespite the past year being one of the most
challenging yet, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA
has continued to positively change and improve
the lives of thousands of animals.
through an efficient mobile clinic service;
Offer professional veterinary treatment for
sick and injured animals, through a large
animal hospital, which prioritises those who
cannot afford private veterinary care;
To educate young learners on responsible pet
care and the humane treatment of animals;
To inspire and motivate people to stand up
for animals and to give of their time, talents,
energy and resources in the name of animal
welfare.

To advocate for changes in laws and policies
to benefit animals;
Everyday these three words motivate the
dedicated team of staff and volunteers at the
Cape of Good Hope SPCA to do all they can
and more, to help animals.
Speak, protect and care

As the largest and oldest SPCA in South Africa, we
rely almost entirely on donations and legacies to
fund our R20 million plus annual running costs.
The Cape of Good Hope SPCA is a registered
non-profit organisation, which each year touches
the lives of more animals than any other animal
welfare organisation in the Western Cape. We
believe passionately in improving the well-being
of all animals and work tirelessly to prevent
cruelty and foster compassion and care.
Our priorities are to:-
Prevent cruelty to all animals;
Rescue animals from crisis and distress;
Provide care and shelter
for abandoned, stray
and surrendered
animals;
Reunite and adopt
animals into loving
homes with a
responsible owner;
Provide primary
veterinary healthcare
to animals in poor
communities,

The men and women in the SPCA’s Inspectorate
are on the frontline in our fight against animal
cruelty. Every day they face challenging,
intimidating and often threatening situations
where animals are at risk. In order for them to
adequately handle these encounters and ensure
that those responsible for animal abuse are held
accountable, they must be skilled and trained.
In the past year four Trainee Inspectors
successfully qualified through the NSPCA
Inspectors course and a further three are
nearing qualification.
In-house training has been prioritised (to
include Trainee Inspectors from other SPCAs
and animal welfare organisations);
Quality assurance is their ‘modus operandi’.

Frontline animals
Preventing animal cruelty includes disaster risk management planning.The demolition of the Athlone cooling towers
in August was successfully used to test the
effectiveness of the Disaster Animal Rescue Unit
(DARU), which works within Cape Town Disaster
Risk Management. The unit includes the SPCA
and other animal welfare groups, who cooperate
on disaster preparedness and response.
The SPCA also advised on the animal welfare
components of the Koeberg Nuclear Evacuation
Plan and took part in a preparedness response
exercise. Disaster planning was also carried out
for potential poultry transportation accidents as
well as shack and veld fires and floods.
In addition to speaking to hundreds of animal
owners on responsible animal care during their
daily work, their initiatives include:
Combating cruelty through educational
talks in schools and at community
gatherings;
Increasing the number of pro-active
outreaches in communities;
Increasing Inspectorate
visibility in informal settle-
ments around Cape Town.

Before taking punitive action, SPCA Inspectors will educate first to effect a change in behaviour and attitude.

action for
Almost 5000 cruelty investigations were carried
out in the past year by a team of 16 Inspectors
and four animal collection officers.
Dog fighting issues remain a scourge within
our societies and inroads were made to eradicate
these heinous acts of animal cruelty. A task team,
comprising of various law enforcement agencies,
together with the SPCA Inspectorate, continued to
work tirelessly to bring the perpetrators to book.
The SPCA will not hesitate to lay charges against
anyone who contravenes the Animal Protection
Act, where preventative and corrective measures
have not been adhered to, or in cases which
involve any acts of cruelty. Whilst the rate of
conviction is low, this does not deter us from
taking punitive action against those who harm
animals or neglect their needs.
A woman, who strangled her two dogs to death
in November 2009, was found guilty on charges of
animal cruelty. She was committed to a psychiatric
evaluation centre.
Two men arrested in May 2010 for hunting
illegally with their dogs in Philippi Nature Reserve,
were found guilty on five charges, including
maiming an animal. They received a R10 000
fine, suspended for three years.
A man who allegedly castrated his
own dog in Mitchell’s Plain will soon
face charges of animal cruelty in
court. His Boerbul, Bobby recovered
from his severe wounds at the SPCA
Animal Hospital, before being
adopted to a new loving home.
The owners of a menagerie of animals found
in a filthy warehouse in Parow Industria have
been charged with alleged animal cruelty. The
22 rescued animals included two dogs (pugs),
10 cats, seven racing pigeons, two Egyptian
geese and a Cockatiel.
SPCA Inspectors obtained an urgent Court
Order to seize a dog, barricaded in its kennel
on a blistering day in January. The animal was
severely dehydrated and had to spend a few
days in the SPCA Animal hospital. The SPCA has
pressed charges and hopes the magistrate will
permanently deny the owner ownership of
animals as a result of his
alleged inhumane action.
The dog survived and
was rehomed.

Go-ahead for Short-term Wildlife Care facility
Wildlife rescues
The National Lottery Distribution Trust
Fund (NLDTF) awarded just under R4 million
to the CoGH SPCA for the development of Cape
Town’s first formal Short-Term Wildlife Care
Facility. We plan to construct an environmentally-
friendly facility, designed around the needs of the
animals and run by an experienced team of staff
and volunteers.
Calls to remove snakes are frequently received by
the Inspectorate control centre and this past year
the Wildlife Unit has successfully moved 139
snakes out of harms way. The largest was a 2.8m
pet Burmese Rock python kept by a Sangoma
who said he used it to “speak to the ancestors
about the FIFA World Cup”. The snake was found
in a shack - underweight, dehydrated and
suffering from mouth rot and pneumonia. Luckily
she survived her ordeal and the owner faces
charges from the SPCA.
The SPCA Wildlife Unit serves a critical
role in responding to reports of displaced,
injured and sick wildlife and investigating
reports of cruelty.

With a large proportion of our district made up
of a long coastline, several nature reserves and a
national park, the SPCA Wildlife Unit serves a
critical role in responding to reports of displaced,
injured and sick wildlife and investigating reports
of cruelty to wild animals.

Monitoring captive wildlife facilities
Ensuring humane treatment
The Wildlife Unit keeps a watchful
eye on zoos, pet shops, aquaria and
other captive wildlife facilities within
our district. The two most notable
establishments are Tygerberg Zoo
and Monkey Town, which are
steadily improving living conditions
for their animals.
As part of our ongoing monitoring of
wildlife on Robben Island, the wild-
life team monitored the safe and
injury-free relocation of 81 Fallow
Deer from Robben Island to Lions
Rock Sanctuary in the Free State.

More than just a stable yard, the SPCA Horse Care
Unit is a refuge for neglected and abandoned
equines, whose lives are restored by the
dedicated, patient efforts of many.
Two full-time Inspectors work almost exclusively
on equine and farm animal issues. During the
past year they inspected 1610 equines of which
106 were confiscated from neglected or abusive
circumstances. In a few cases the SPCA was able
to educate the owners on responsible care and
return their animals once improvements were
made, but in some situations the animals were
permanently removed and charges laid.
Confiscating to prevent cruelty
Horse Matters
The largest case resulted in the SPCA seizing 72
Thoroughbred horses at Arrowpoint Stud in the
Breede Valley, following numerous inspections
where the owner and resident management were
warned that conditions were unacceptable. The
animals were eventually returned under strict
conditions and the High Court awarded costs to
the SPCA.
Four other cases of equine cruelty are
currently pending.

the commitment of the Unit’s volunteers and staff, who spent hundreds of
hours working with these animals, rebuilding their trust in people and
helping them recover from an often horrific past.
Last year also saw the launch of REHORP (Rehoming of Ex-Race Horses
Project), which was initiated by the Western Cape Equine Trust. The Trust is
the Unit’s primary sponsor and thanks to their joint efforts, 33 ex-racehorses
whose racing careers are over, were surrendered to the SPCA and then
adopted to loving new homes.
The Western Cape Equine Trust has continued to partner with
the SPCA in securing funding for the Unit. Their monthly
contribution and the personal efforts of a number of
their committee members, who also volunteer at
the Unit, has resulted in the Unit having
a particularly successful year.

Inspecting living conditions More farm animals are used than any other
group or type of animals in South Africa (over
600 million per annum). Most are kept on large
commercial farms where prescribed welfare
standards are monitored by the SPCA.
Thousands more are kept by subsistence
farmers in and around the City of Cape Town,
in conditions far removed from the rolling
green pastures in rural farmlands.
SPCA Inspectors regularly remove stray cattle
and goats left to graze dangerously on the side of
major highways; confiscate chickens kept in filthy
conditions with no food and water from roadside
markets and regularly take in neglected sheep.
During the past year three confiscations involving
173 farm animals were conducted and 170 cases
of cruelty to livestock were investigated.

and Caroline Sedgwick and family in memory of

constructed at the CoGH SPCA, which is
providing shelter for surrendered, stray and
confiscated livestock. The new facility is not
just a functional, working unit for rescued or
rehabilitating livestock, it’s also of important
educational value and enables the SPCA to
show children, the farmers of tomorrow, how
to properly care for farm animals and the
benefits of proper care and informed
sterilisation.
Ongoing operational costs of running the
facility will in part be covered by a monthly
donation from the Sedgwick family.
Cats and dogs may constitute a large
proportion of our efforts, but the welfare
of animals such as cows, pigs, sheep and
chickens is just as important to the Cape
of Good Hope SPCA.

Every day SPCA collection officers, Inspectors and
Metro police arrive at the SPCA facility in Grassy
Park, with vans full of dogs and cats, that have
either been picked up as stray or surrendered into
our care. Others are admitted by caring members
of the public and still more handed over by our
mobile clinic operators, which serve indigent
communities.
More stray and unwanted dogs and cats are
brought to this SPCA than to any other animal
welfare organisation in the Western Cape.
A small percentage of the stray animals
admitted are owned and thanks to the efforts of
our Lost and Found department, 582 dogs and
cats were reunited with their owners last year.
Despite the massive influx of animals, each
one is treated compassionately and a thorough
veterinary examination by one of our three vets,
determines whether the animal is in good enough
health to be rehomed, if it is not claimed after
10 days.
Unfortunately the vast majority come to us
sick, diseased, injured and/or old and we cannot
put them forward for adoption, as their life
expectancy is poor and the resources required to
nurture them back to health are exorbitant.
Currently the cost of caring for stray and
www.spca-ct.co.za/adopt
TheAnimal carers
TheAnimal carers
discarded animals is entirely funded by public
donations.
The task of admitting and assessing so many
animals that have been badly neglected or just
discarded, takes a huge toll on the SPCA Kennel
and Hospital staff, who work tirelessly to try to
give as many animals as possible a second
chance of a good life.
Those that are assessed as suitable for adoption
go through a behavioural assessment and the
vast majority of animals that move into our
adoption block will remain there until adopted.
A huge amount of dedicated effort is spent on
trying to source good homes for animals awaiting
adoption. Our website is where many people will
go to look for a new pet and so we keep
photographs and descriptions of our animals
regularly updated.
We have also worked hard to streamline the
adoption process to make it quick and easy for a
person to apply and go home with their new pet.
Whilst we have seen a decline in adoptions this
past year, which we believe is as a direct result of
the recession, the rate of animals being returned
after adoption is only 2%, thus indicating that a
thorough adoption process, which aims to match
the right animal with each adopter, is essential.

The inherent dangers of working in impoverished
communities have sometimes necessitated them
changing venues when areas become too
dangerous to operate in.
Despite the risks, the Animal Welfare Assistants
(AWA) who run the mobile clinics continue to take
the SPCA to the poorest of the poor and in so
doing prevent immeasurable suffering and pain.
This enormous task has been made possible,
largely thanks to the magnanimous support of the
Dangwen Trust and the Airports Company South
Africa: Cape Town International. ACSA has
awarded significant funding to the SPCA Mobile
Clinic programme for the past three
years. Their commitment to support
this work, which improves the
health and welfare of people and
animals in impoverished commun-
ities, is exemplary of a
company which acts on its
commitment to support
community projects.
52 032 dogs and cats and their financially
strapped owners were the direct beneficiaries of
the SPCA’s subsidised veterinary services, which
includes the Animal Hospital in Grassy Park and a
fleet of four mobile clinics serving impoverished
communities.
Despite the recession and lack of financial
support from government, we have continued to
help many sick and injured animals, at vastly
subsidised rates.
The SPCA mobile clinic service performed well over
the past year and the four operators
strove to bring in as many sterilisations
as possible. They often meet with
some resistance, given that breeding
is a source of income for many
owners. In addition to offering basic
treatments and dipping animals to
prevent ticks, fleas and mange, they spend
a lot of time educating owners on animal care and
the importance of sterilisation.

Primary health care clinics
The “all women” veterinary team in the Hospital
has worked hard to raise standards of care and
provide ongoing training for AWAs and orderlies,
who have learnt new techniques and improved
methods of treatment over the year.
All four theatre orderlies passed an external
Theatre AWA Examination and are authorised
under the South African Veterinary Council.
During the year they sterilised 5 899 dogs and
cats and in so doing made a significant impact on
reducing pet over-population in the City of Cape
Town. Routine and life-saving surgery was carried
out on 4 708 animals, whose owners pay a
subsidised rate dependent on their level of
income.
The vast majority of animals which
pass through the animal hospital,
which is open 7 days a week, are
seen by AWAs in the day clinics.
The thousands of doses of
vaccinations and deworming
tablets dispensed over the year,
prevents the spread of serious
zoonotic diseases (i.e. mange and
worms) from animals to humans.

exposed to the SPCA Ani-Pal Education
programme.
Simultaneously, funding awarded by the
National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund (NLDTF)
in 2009 was fully expensed in the redevelopment
of this programme, which now incorporates
classroom activity booklets in English and Xhosa
and two new puppet shows tailored to ‘speak’ to
learners from different socio-economic
backgrounds. There are other fun, interactive
elements to the programme, which has been
approved as curriculum-based for Foundation
phase learners by the Western Cape Department
of Education. The new programme will be rolled
out from the beginning of May 2011.
Humane education is vital for children to become responsible, compassionate and caring adults – not just of animals but of their fellow human beings too.

an important role in teaching young learners
about the importance of responsible pet
ownership through an interactive and fun puppet

The SPCA was joined in its commitment to
spread humane education by Barloworld Toyota,
whose Western Cape dealerships in Tygervalley,
Kuilsriver and Stellenbosch, collectively
contributed R120 000 to our education
programme. Despite the tough trading climate
for the company, they remained steadfast in
their support of this important community
project, for which we remain enormously
grateful.

Behind the SPCA staff stands a team of
committed volunteers, who give willingly
and generously of their time and expertise
to help us meet our objectives and achieve
our goals. Our wholehearted thanks go to:-
The Animal Care Centre volunteers who
everyday come rain or shine, ensure that
the dogs in kennels are given plenty of
time to run and play and smothered with
love and affection. They also help with
the laborious task of feeding animals,
cleaning cages, and create stimulating
enclosures for our cats.
To the Horse Care Unit volunteers who
have given hundreds of hours to help
us nurture abused and neglected animals
back to good health and if that isn’t
enough, gone out of their way to help
us find suitable new homes for the
dozens of horses, ponies and donkeys,
which were admitted into our care
this past year.
To the unwavering support of the
Fundraising volunteers, who provided
the man-power enabling us to stage our
hugely successful fundraising events;
counted thousands of Rands worth of
coins each month; fulfilled important
administrative tasks; and sifted through
piles of second-hand clothing and books,
which were resold to generate much-
needed funds.

The ResultsOur financial results for the year to end March
2011 were heavily skewed by the receipt of the
capital of a Trust (of which we had been an income
beneficiary for many years), which was terminated.
This once-off very large capital sum amounted to
over R11.5 million and has been added to the long
term reserve assets on the society’s balance sheet
and conservatively invested to ensure the capital
can grow, while delivering a steady but growing
income stream to fund our operating activities in
the decades that lie ahead.
Stripping out the impact of this single receipt,
to get a clearer picture of the operational
performance of the organisation, reveals a less
successful financial year, although this was
partly intentional.
Income
Operational income (excluding the trust
distribution referred to above) increased by 10%
to R15.7 million. Notably following a Board
decision, the Hospital implemented a more robust
almoning system, to ensure we are consistently
and predominantly attending to only genuinely
needy cases, rather than offering a cut-price
veterinary service to people who in reality should
be served by a private practice. As a consequence,
Hospital revenue was flat for the year, while costs
rose slightly. Our Adoptions unit, despite a
disappointing year from a number of adoptions
perspective, managed to control costs very well.
Our Fundraising team achieved several
milestones, notable amongst these were securing
funding from the National Lottery Distribution
Trust Fund (NLDTF) for the building of a Short-term
Wildlife Care Facility (R3.9 million approved with
building plans submitted and construction to start
in the next few months) as well as NLDTF funding
for the day-to-day work of our Inspectorate. Some
of this income is reflected in the financials
presented here and the rest will be evident in the
2012 accounts. In addition they achieved
significant growth in income from our in-house
direct tele-marketing team, acceleration in mail
appeal donors, following a refresh over the last
two years to our approach and record results from
our major community events (i.e. SPCA Royal Canin
Wiggle Waggle and SPCA Purina Woefie Wandel).
Our Vet Shop in Gabriel Road Plumstead reached
breakeven during the second half of the year and
we confidently expect it to start contributing to
our funding requirements in the new financial year.
Expenditure
Total expenses of R20.5 million were 9.5% higher
than the previous year. The largest contributory
factors to the increase were an average 5%
increase to salaries, which in total comprises about
60% of overall operating costs, as well as certain
additional costs such as extra expenditure on feed
in the Horse Care Unit, which is a function of that
unit’s success in handling more animals and the
establishment of the Farmyard towards the end
of the year.
Capital Expenditure during the year was limited
to replacement and maintenance expenditure of
various aspects of the Grassy Park facilities and our
hard working vehicle fleet.
Investments
Income from investments was lower than the
previous year and was caused by lower interest
rates and lower average cash balances. More
importantly 2012 should see this number rise
substantially as the income from the capital
received from the terminating trust (mentioned
above) is received directly. Our reserve capital
assets now stand at over R45 million, which
represents more than 2 years operating costs,
and provides a strong foundation from which
each year’s operating activities can be planned.
