"These unforeseen expenses are putting immense strain on our already tight budget and we are in urgent need of public support," says Marcelle du Plessis, fundraising, communications and programmes executive at Mdzananda Animal Clinic.

Despite needing to address the damage to its facilities, Mdzananda Animal Clinic says that its dedicated team is tirelessly patrolling the community, searching for chained-up dogs, dogs at risk of drowning and strays. 

"Our commitment to helping these vulnerable animals through the storm is unwavering," says Carolyn Dudgeon, programmes manager at Mdzananda Animal Clinic.

Apart from patrolling the community, the clinic and shelter are at capacity with a large number of sick pet patients and homeless dogs and cats. The team is making sure that every animal gets the care they need to recover and to stay warm at the facility during the storm, says the clinic. 

"We are urgently calling on compassionate individuals to help us recover from this storm's unexpected damage costs and to continue our mission to protect and care for animals in need," says du Plessis.

"The Mdzananda Animal Clinic thanks the community for their compassion, generosity and support during this time. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of countless animals affected by this storm," concludes du Plessis.

Individuals are encouraged by Mdzananda Animal Clinic to donate towards the repair of the clinic and the shelter.
