“So far, only 10 animals have been claimed by their owners. We appeal to anyone who has lost their pets to visit the SPCA rather than phone as we are completely overwhelmed,” said Patrick.
She also encouraged potential pet owners to consider adopting from the Kloof and Highway SPCA and give an unwanted or an unclaimed stray a second chance.
