In a heartwarming tribute to Mandela Day, Joostenberg Animal Clinic teamed up with Proteavet & Howlelulah and successfully completed a Spay-a-thon campaign aimed at improving the lives of local pets. Over the course of three long and dedicated days, the compassionate team of veterinarians, including Dr. Liesl, Dr. Analize, and Dr. Michelle, donated their professional time and expertise to provide essential care to 67 precious cats and dogs. This was a Joostenberg Animal Clinic initiative and Proteavet facilities were generously offered.
This initiative by Joostenberg Animal Clinic was inspired by the spirit of Nelson Mandela’s legacy of service and community care. The Spay-a-thon not only ensured the health and well-being of the animals but also played a crucial role in controlling the local pet population, which is vital for maintaining a balanced and healthy community.
Each of the 67 animals received top-notch veterinary care at the Proteavet facilities, including spaying or neutering, vaccinations, and general health check-ups. These procedures are critical in preventing unwanted litters and ensuring that each pet has a greater chance of leading a happy, healthy life.
Dr. Liesl expressed her dedication to the cause, saying, “Mandela Day is about giving back to our community, and for us, there’s no better way than to ensure the health and happiness of our furry friends. This Spay-a-thon was a true labor of love, and we’re grateful to have had the opportunity to make a difference.”
The collaboration between Joostenberg Animal Clinic, Proteavet and Howlelulah, all organisations known for their commitment to animal welfare, was a natural fit. Together, they were able to pool resources and expertise to make a meaningful impact on the lives of pets and their owners.
This Spay-a-thon is just one of the many ways Proteavet and Howlelulah continue to support their community. The organizations hope that their efforts will inspire others to get involved in animal welfare and contribute to the betterment of society.
