non-profit organisation, run solely by volunteers.

Our municipality is unable to assist us.

We receive no funding from government or bigger welfare organisations. We are a member of the animal welfare Forum.

 

We are reducing the numbers of unwanted, suffering dogs and cats in Clanwilliam. If one unsterilized dog can produce 64 000 dogs in its life, one sterilisation makes a huge difference.

 

We run mass sterilisation drives as we raise funds. We aim to sterilise at 500 animals a year. Each sterilisation costs an average of R300 with a vaccination.

 

From November 2010 to DEC 2012 we sterilised 1019 animals with the help of VETSOL, Annelize Roos CVC and Dr Longland from Langebaan.

 

We do not have a permanent vet in Clanwilliam. Our closest vet is 75km away.

MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

Hello…

 

 

We are planning to host the first mass sterilisation event for 2013 in March .

 

Making a life time difference,

 

by clearing out any unwanted items in your home, you can help many…

 

The benefits of an uncluttered home are three fold!

You can find things you had forgotten about ,

give to those who don't have and

save lives.

 

It's fun and exciting to venture into the forgotten back cupboard, and if you find things that are not useful to you anymore, you can donate them to CLAWS.

 

We sell the goods to people who really need them and in turn use the money raised to fund sterilisation programs.

 

Please support us in our initiative to reach our target of 500 sterilised animals for 2013!

Since Nov 2010 we have sterilised 966 animals.

 

 

Thank you for your contribution

Getting to Zero euthenasia's of stray, abandoned and unwanted cats and dogs can only be achieved through a spay campaign.

The more pets are sterilised the less we have to euthanase.  

 
 

UNDERSTANDING  STERILISATION

There are up to 1 million animals (mainly dogs and cats) euthanased per year in South Africa.

WHY?

• Each female cat or dog can produce about 4000 lives in 7 years.
  
• 6 puppies / kittens are born for every human baby
  
• Homeless and hungry strays could be aggressive and carry disease
  
• Repeated pregnancies cause unnecessary strain on the female dog and reduce her life span
  
• Unsterilised bitches face an increased risk of breast cancer each time she comes on heat
  
• Uterus infection is common in unsterilised bitches
  
• Sexually active males spray or mark their territories, roam and jump fences to get to bitches on heat.  They are more aggressive and prone to fighting each other.
  
• Unsterilised males are vulnerable to prostrate disease and perianal hernias.
  
• There are just not
  enough homes for all those dogs and cats.
  
•  
  

What your pet will NOT
become:

• fat after sterilisation (unless you feed too much and exercise too little; like in humans)
  
• have stunted growth and
  
• there are NO benefits in letting your pet having a first litter
  

 
 

THEREFORE

STERILISE instead of EUTHANASE

Which in the end means:

• Less pain and suffering for the animals
  
• Improved health conditions for both pets and humans
  
• Less heart sore for the people involved
  
• Reduced costs at the end of the day

Auctions for funds

• Clanwilliam Animal Welfare Society hold auctions to raise funds for mass sterilisation drives in Clanwilliam.
  
• We have had a few negative comments about it but no suggestions as how we are expected to otherwise raise funds for these events without outside assistance.
  
• I asked the people out there what they thought and here are a few replies.
  

  Thank you once again for the support without you we would not be able to do good work!

  For those of you who do not agree with the auctions that CLAWS hold, please let us know if you have a better idea to bring in money every month, without the help of other organistions, and without the help of the municipality. We have alot of work to do and we are not going to let small obstacles stand in our way. We have proved that we can get on with out the help because we try. We have done more sterilisations than many smaller organisations who do recieve benefits.
