Keep our Inspectors Safe so they can Save Lives
A level 8 weather warning has been issued for Thursday, 11th July 2024, predicting a high likelihood of flooding and mudslides across Cape Town, Drakenstein, and Stellenbosch municipal areas.
The impending storm poses a grave danger to life, with widespread displacement of communities and animals. Our SPCA Inspectors are gearing up for a critical mission to rescue animals stranded in these life-threatening conditions, and we urgently need your support.
Last year Rover’s rescue was only made possible via equipment loaned to us by the City’s water and sanitation department. Read more about Rover’s Rescue here.
We Need Your Help!
We are calling on you to help us equip our brave Inspectors with the essential gear they need to stay safe while rescuing animals like Rover from certain death. Help our inspectors to save more lives!
What Our Inspectors Need:
To tackle these extreme conditions and ensure their safety, our Inspectors require the following equipment:
- Waders: To navigate deep, fast-moving floodwaters.
- Gumboots: For secure footing in muddy and slippery conditions.
- Rain Suits: To stay dry and protected from relentless rain.
- Safety Harnesses: To perform safe and effective rescues.
- Rope: Essential for reaching and retrieving animals from precarious situations.
- Life Jackets: To safeguard our Inspectors in swift waters.
- Waterproof Pouches: To protect critical equipment and documentation from water damage.
