FAW are a community-based, non-profit organisation (NPO) working with the animals of Fisantekraal, Morning Star and farms surrounding Durbanville.
RJ45 Networking Solutions have been hard at work getting pricing and quotes for this project: Extending the roof to provide cover from the elements and paving the area outside the facility.
CEL Paving have generously offered to sponsor the 67 square metres of paving bricks required and Builders Warehouse (Cape Gate) are sponsoring the delivery charges to the site. Thanks to both companies for assisting us with this outreach!
Work starts on Wednesday, 26 June and will be completed by Friday 28 June - pop in and say hello if you're in the area.
FAW has vaccinated over 1500 animals against rabies, canine parvovirus, and distemper, and we are seeing a steady improvement in the health of the animals they deal with. What’s more, over 200 sick and/or injured animals have been helped back to health – euthanasia is now only used when absolutely unavoidable in order to end real suffering.
We're able to treat animals suffering from mange, and dip to combat fleas and ticks. (See The facts page for more details.)
A subsidised food programme allows the residents to purchase small amounts of dog or cat food at affordable prices, without having to travel into Durbanville (an impossibility for many of the residents) and pay high prices; Hungry dogs are regularly fed by FAW’s dedicated volunteers.
Our kennel project, which involves donated kennels or those made by two enterprising young men from Fisantekraal out of old pallets, has seen many a dog stay warm and dry in winter.
Without the kind financial and other donations from the public, and the work of our volunteers, local vets, vet nurses, AACL, Uitsig Animal Rescue Centre, and many others, this wouldn’t be possible. We say THANK YOU to all our supporters, and give a resounding round of applause to Rosa Pheiffer for founding Fisantekraal Animal Welfare.
