Love is King ❤

Despite his regal name, King’s life was far from royal…. In fact he wasn’t even treated like a living, breathing, feeling being.

He was seized by our Inspectors earlier this month and taken into the care of the Cape of Good Hope SPCA on a court order secured at the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court. King was limping on a badly injured front leg, and his owner’s couldn’t have cared less. At our animal hospital, our veterinary team x-rayed King’s leg and to their horror, also found a pellet lodged deep in his thorax. King’s leg has since healed well, and he is now weight-bearing on all four limbs. He still has a long way to go, he has obvious scars and the kind we can’t see but we’re doing our best to make him feel every bit like the King he is.
