Ladysmith KZN: AACL in need of generous donations
Remember, Caxton Cares, so drop off your donations today
The Animal Anti-Cruelty League (AACL) has been protecting and caring for animals since 1956. It is South Africa’s second largest independent animal welfare organisation, relying entirely on the generosity and goodwill of the animal-loving public for financial support.
It is an organisation that gets involved with all aspects of animal welfare: providing shelter for abandoned animals; promoting an efficient adoption programme; prosecuting animal cruelty cases; running welfare hospitals for lower income groups; visiting underprivileged areas with fully-equipped mobile clinics; and regularly addressing schools and clubs on the challenges of animal welfare.
The Ladysmith Gazette is a drop-off point for AACL donations as part of the ‘Caxton Cares’ initiative, which means that all blankets and dog / cat food can be left in the box at reception (San Marco / Pick n Pay Centre, Shop 29B). Ladysmith NTT Isuzu has also stepped in as a drop-off point. This means that any donations towards the shelter can be dropped off at 60 Murchison Street as well.
The AACL is desperately in need of old blankets, towels, pillows or any pieces of material (even bathroom or door mats) you may have lying around. These can serve as ‘beds’ or blankets to keep the animals warm on cold nights.
