Kloof Spca is a disgrace

A few months ago, I had to surrender my dogs to the Kloof spca because I was relocating and I couldn't take them with and they made me feel like the worst pet owner ever. I couldn't help I have to relocate and I couldn't take them with me. Now a friend of mine had messaged a few minutes ago and I had given my 3 beautiful kittens to an organization that I trusted so much and the family they gave them to sent them to the spca. My friend informed me that the Spca staff said that if these kittens don't get a home within the next 2 weeks they will be put down. They say the spca doesn't do well with cruelty to animals, but this, they haven't even began to live their kitty years and the spca want to put animals as young as this is the top case of cruelty. I'm so angry. The Kloof spca have changed and have become unfriendly and cruel to all animals. They make people feel like absolute **** and money hungry *******s. Where does those donations go? Not to the animals, in their pockets and when you don't give them a donation, they look at you funny. No I'm done, the Kloof spca can literally go to hell. You **** so called animal *****s

Good morning,  I am very sorry to read your complaint received on ‘hellopeter’, our team at the Kloof and Highway SPCA are always compassionate to animals and when dealing with people who visit our SPCA.  You are welcome to email me on *** and I will investigate your concerns, I have spoken to all the staff in reception and can assure you that they are never rude or disrespectful to members of the public who bring their pets to our SPCA. If you are able to send me more details, and names of who said what, I will be able to investigate further. With regards to the kittens, I am not sure why another animal resuce organisation would bring kittens/cats to our SPCA without good reason, perhaps they have tried to find homes for them and were unable to or the kittens/cats were sick and could not be cared for. Whatever the reasons, the SPCA will never turn away an animal, but we also deal with the reality of too many animals and not enough homes for them. We follow a strict adoption process when re-homing any animals in our care and we ensure that those animals have the happiest life. Please remember that there are fates worse than death, and any home is not ever the right home. I will wait to hear from you.  Kind regards Barbara Patrick Manager
