As the largest and oldest
animal welfare organisation in the Western Cape, no other
organisation has the same impact on the lives of animals
as the CoGH SPCA does. Our state-of-the-art animal hospital;
experienced and well-staffed Inspectorate; dedicated Horse
Care Unit; large kennel and adoption centre and highly
competent team of administrators and fundraisers, sets
us apart from others.
The CoGH SPCA can make a difference because we employ some
of the hardest working people, whose passion for animals
helps them find ways to cope with the heart-wrenching abuse
they are exposed to on an almost daily basis.
Despite the challenges of having to attend to an ever-increasing
case load and numbers of animals handed into our care,
they carry out their duties diligently and with compassion,
enabling this society to boast a very low staff turnover
rate.
