Why pay an adoption fee? 

There are many costs involved in looking after an abandoned pet before finding him/her a new home. On average pets stays with us for 2 months before a new home is found. In the first month alone, our cost per pet is R1565. Most pets stay much longer. Some even for over a year. Your adoption goes towards covering some of these costs.

First month's costs:

  • Sterilisation - R350 (our cost price excluding our veterinarian's time)

  • 1st Vaccinations - R50

  • 1st Dewormers - R25

  • 1st Flea and tick treatments - R40

  • Food for a month - R300

  • Average cost per pet for medical care, housing, electricity, water, staff involved - R800

To foster

Our organisation is predominantly a veterinary clinic and our shelter unit is very small and can only house 15 dogs and 15 cats at a time. When our shelter is full we cannot take more pets in and direct people to other welfare organisations. Placing pets in foster homes allows us to have space available at our shelter facility to help more abandoned pets.
