Rumina Blossomed In Spirit And Strength

Possibly the best part of everything we do at the SPCA is our Happy Homings.

To see the joy on the faces of the new families and the sheer delight of the animals they adopt makes all the blood, sweat and tears worthwhile.

Many of the animals who come through our doors have been rescued from situations of such diabolical cruelty it is hard to imagine.

Others have endured traumas such as abandonment, bereavement from a deceased and beloved owner, getting lost and finding themselves stray… their hearts beat as ours and they feel emotions just as deeply.

Reading progress

City refuge removers noticed Rumina frequenting the Strandfontein pavilion for more than a week unattended. On the morning of 28 December 2021, they reported their observation to the Cape of Good Hope SPCA.

The Horse Care Unit was dispatched to investigate and found a stray underweight female pony with several harness wounds on her back and chest. The pony was loaded and transported to the Cape of Good Hope facility in Grassy Park, Cape Town.

On her arrival, she displayed signs of acute colic, likely due to dehydration and having to scavenge for food. Rumina made a fast recovery and once her colic symptoms and cramps subsided, she blossomed in spirit and strength.

Her new owner, Rene, contacted the Cape of Good Hope SPCA looking for a companion pony for her horse. Rene came to meet Rumina and just fell in love with her calming presence.

Rumina was successfully adopted out to her forever home in April 2022.
