🔥 THE SEARCH CONTINUES – EVERY LIFE MATTERS 🔥 Our Search & Rescue Team is still on the mountain today, working hand in hand with the relevant authorities to cover as much ground as possible in the safest, most efficient way. With a vast, unforgiving landscape ahead we need to work smart! 💔 The heartbreaking reality is that many baby birds and slow-moving creatures never had a chance to escape the fire’s wrath. But in the devastation, a miracle—a single survivor has been found. A tortoise, trapped fortuitously in an uncovered manhole, was left untouched by the flames that must've raged over him. A single misstep that could've spelled disaster became his saving grace. Against all odds, this little guy cheated death twice but only because we found him. 💙 Searching is hard work, but for even one life saved, it’s worth every step. Our fire-trained team is doing everything they can, even wetting small, smoking areas of ground as they go. Thank you for your support that's kept us searching and saving animals. We couldn't do this without your support and we are so grateful. Please keep supporting this incredible team 🙏❤️https://lnkd.in/guGBWTmt #SPCAWildlifeRescue #TableMountainFire #EveryLifeMatters #ActNow

🔥 THE FIRE MAY BE CONTAINED, BUT OUR MISSION CONTINUES. 🔥 The Table Mountain fire has been contained, and while flare-ups persist in Redhill, the blaze has finally lost most of its fury. We are deeply grateful to the brave firefighters who worked tirelessly to bring this monster to its knees. Now, our Search & Rescue Team pushes forward into the aftermath. The areas we are searching have been deemed safe for our fire-trained team, but they are anything but easy—hot, dusty, and fragile, where solid ground crumbles to ash with a single misstep. We are combing every crevice, every scorched patch of earth, searching for survivors. It’s a massive area, steep and unforgiving, but we are walking a grid, following the faintest tracks in the ash, and literally leaving no stone unturned in our search for the injured. Slow-moving creatures like tortoises stood little chance against the flames—many did not make it. But it is the thought of those still clinging to life, suffering in silence, waiting for help, that keeps us going. They are who we have come for. 💙 THANK YOU! Your support has kept us searching and kept us treating! 🔹 HOW YOU CAN HELP: 💧 Leave shallow water dishes out for displaced wildlife—add stones for small animals to perch on. 👀 Look out for injured or displaced animals and call us immediately. 📞 We are available 24/7 on this number 021 700 4158/9 🙏 Donate to keep our teams in the field, saving lives: https://lnkd.in/dMk2bcyJ We won’t stop until every last survivor has been found. #SPCAWildlifeRescue #TableMountainFire #SavingSurvivors #EveryLifeMatters #HopeAmongstTheAshes

Simple words that spoke volumes. 🐾 "Jy oraait My Boy? Pappa’s hier." 💙 On World Spay Day, we stepped in together—and the impact was life-changing. 171 animals sterilised. Thousands of unwanted litters were prevented. But beyond the numbers, we're celebrating something even more powerful—a community’s endearing love for their animals. You need your sound up for this video! 📣 Despite life’s hardships, these pets are family. Their owners brought them to be sterilised, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for ticks and fleas —not just because it was free, but because they care. Their dogs and cats went home with full bellies, collars, tags, and most importantly, a healthier future and it was an honour to be of service to them. 🐶🐱 This is what happens when we step in together. We unite our strengths. We pool our resources and We get more done! Read the full story here 👇 https://lnkd.in/da3yKreb #WeStepIn 💙 #WorldSpayDay 🌍 #BreakTheCycle 🔄 #SPCA 🐾 #WeStepinTogether

🚴♂️ Same Passion, Different Saddle! 🏇 Inspector Mark Syce isn’t trading in his love for horses—he's just swopping saddles! And he's going to be hanging onto handlebars for a full 109KM in the upcoming Cape Town Cycle Tour . Why? Because horses like Lady Grace don’t get to choose their race. She was forced to pull a cart loaded with a broken car, starving and almost lame. Now, she’s safe, but her recovery isn’t free. Help for Horses is expensive! 💙 Inspector Mark’s heart beats for horses. He needs your help to keep them safe. If your heart beats hoofbeats too, back Mark’s ride with your donation today! 🏇💙 👇 https://lnkd.in/dS2MpDDQ #CTCycleTour #CapeTownCycleTour #CTCycleTour2025 #TeamSPCA #CapeSPCA #CapeTown #ScienceDidThat #ChainsAreForBikes #BreakTheChain #RideForFreedom #CycleForGood #EndAnimalCruelty @Pedal4Ponies

🐢🔥 JUST IN TIME! FAST ACTION SAVES 6 OVERHEATING TORTOISES FROM TABLE MOUNTAIN FIRE! 🔥🐢 Today, amidst the charred remains of animals who never had a chance, our team found life—and saved it! Our Search & Rescue Team combed through the scorched aftermath of the Table Mountain fire, where they found six tortoises struggling on the burnt, ground. Their shells and legs were blackened with ash, their bodies hot to the touch —but they were alive. 💦 FAST ACTION SAVED THEM! Equipped with portable water hoses, our team cooled and hydrated the tortoises—a simple but life-saving act. Two of the tortoises had minor burn wounds, which were treated by our qualified first responders before all six were moved to safety. They will be released into a safe, lush area later this evening. These six were the lucky ones. 🔥 But our work is far from over. Our search continues tomorrow, at first light. Please keep our Inspectors searching and saving with a donation of any amount made here: 👇https://lnkd.in/duFkQQZS #SPCAWildlifeRescue #TableMountainFire #EveryLifeMatters #ActNow
