It’s inconceivable that in January 2020 we celebrated our 21st Birth-day. Our organisation has grown from most humble beginnings to a well-respected, well-known organi-sation, which is a major role-play-er in animal welfare in the Western Cape. Reflecting back on 21 years, TEARS’ journey has been a roller coaster ride but we have weath-ered the storm, and all the expe-riences have created an organisa-tion which is resilient and able to face challenges head-on.

Our focus, in the early days of 1999, was on Masiphumelele, a fairly new settlement outside Fish Hoek. We became aware of the plight of animals, many of which were skel-etal as their owners lived in abject poverty and couldn’t afford to feed them. Mange was rife, deworming and vaccinating against diseases unheard of, and sterilisation not practiced.

In 1999, we started a clinic in Masi-phumelele, offering basic services such as vaccinating, deworming, dipping, treating animals for fleas and mange, and we handed out food parcels. Animals needing vet-erinary attention and / or sterilisa-tion were identified and arrange-ments made to take them to local vets. Education also formed an im-portant part of our activities.

As we began accumulating dogs, we needed to house them, and our first kennel facility was in Ottery,

a long way from our area of oper-ation. We were most fortunate to be offered a smallholding in Lek-kerwater Road, backing on to Ma-siphumelele, and in 2002, moved our whole operation to our current location where we introduced our Rescue, Rehabilitate, Rehome mod-el, and we have never looked back.

As funding allowed, so our shelter grew, providing enhanced accom-modation for stray, abandoned, neglected and unwanted animals, and enabled us to employ more staff, many from our surround-ing disadvantaged communities. In July 2005, our veterinary clin-ic opened its doors; it was a very proud moment. Having our own clinic, veterinarian and a mobile van meant that we could provide a vastly improved service to our communities.

As donations of second-hand goods continued to pour in from gen-erous members of the public, we realised that it would make good business sense to open a charity shop off-site. By 2015 we had four charity shops including Fish Hoek, Valyland, Sunny Acres and the big Charity Centre in Retreat. Current-ly, our Charity and Bookshops con-tribute over 45% of our monthly re-quired R1.2 Million income.

In January 2007, we became the proud owners of Wenga Farm, a 3.1 hectare property on Kommetjie Road, Sunnydale. From the outset,

TEARS ANIMAL RESCUEreflecting on the 21 year journey of

it has been our dream to develop Wenga Farm into a world class ani-mal rescue facility. As a first step, in 2011, existing structures on Wenga Farm were converted into a Cat-tery Facility and a Feral Cat Steril-isation Unit, and our entire Cattery was moved from Rock Aloe Farm to Wenga Farm.

Through sheer hard work and de-termination TEARS has been sup-ported through its formative years, negotiating many hurdles and ob-stacles and has strived to contin-ually increase its footprint in the vulnerable communities we serve. We extend our sincere thanks to our animal-loving community for taking us to their hearts and sup-porting us in so many diverse ways.

As the years pass, and our organ-isation continues to expand and provide help to animals and the communities wherein they reside, we can look back proudly on our 21 year history, knowing that we have made a significant and meaningful difference in the lives of animals and people in the Deep South and beyond. We look forward to being the best animal rescue organisa-tion, providing the best services and facilities, while always putting the animals first, by being caring and compassionate to all crea-tures.

Kira arrived at TEARS emaciated to a point of exhaustion, with pressure sores right down to her hipbones. However, her eyes were bright with hope and after some veterinary attention, lots of food, and even more love she blossomed into the beautiful dog she was always meant to be. Kira was quickly adopted to a loving family where she now rules the roost.

UNDERDOG{rooting for the

It has been such an honour to join TEARS Animal Rescue as General Manager and I am very proud to be working with such an inspiring and dedicated team. The TEARS staff give their all every single day in pursuit of our vision and mission to alleviate animal suffering across the Cape’s deep South Peninsula. We measure our impact by the number of animals and commu-nity members that we help. The 2019/2020 financial year saw the number of sterilisations increase

It is with gratitude that I look back at our last financial year and re-flect on the core services that TEARS Animal Rescue provides. We exist to support the most vul-nerable animals that come into our care from extreme circumstances related to poverty, neglect, abuse, disease and animal over-popula-tion. TEARS has continued to raise funds vital to its continued oper-ation. The support we enjoy can only be attributed to the goodwill and visibility associated with our brand, the quality and dependabil-ity of our reach and impact in the vulnerable communities we serve, as well as to the dedicated staff, donors, volunteers and our com-munity partners.

I wish to thank the TEARS Board members for their commitment and consistent support. I also wish to thank the TEARS Vets, Locums,

Management and Staff, who work tirelessly to make this organisa-tion the “World Class” animal res-cue that we believe it is. I also wish to extend a sincere thank you to our many generous and dedicated volunteers, without whom TEARS would not exist.

Finally, I wish to thank all our con-tributors and supporters– whether you donated or bought something from our shops, purchased items online, fostered or adopted one of our special rescue dogs or cats, or contributed in cash as a donation to TEARS.

Capetonians love their animals, and it’s this caring and big-heart-ed attitude that gives us the moti-vation to continue our efforts. We are committed to ensuring sustain-ability and working with key stake-holders towards solutions to over-

by 31%, to 420 sterilisations a month. The number of vaccines we administered increase by 60%, as we strive to actively prevent dis-ease and uplift lives. Adoptions in-creased by 31%, on average we ad-opted out 60 cats and dogs every month, which means we are able to rescue up to 60 cats and dogs a month too. Furthermore, this year we imple-mented of a point-of-sale system at all TEARS outlets, providing bet-ter control over sales income and more comprehensive reporting and monitoring. We appointed a Finance Manager to improve our financial controls and cash flow management. We launched a new website, a paid media advertising strategy, a donor management system and an Online Shop as a new income stream. Our annual Sleepathon was a huge success and generated a much-needed

R500,000 for animals in need. We are incredibly grateful to all our donors, members, volunteers, sponsors and supporters for stand-ing by our side as we work tireless-ly to end animal suffering. It is only with your contributions and assis-tance that we are able to continue our work. We could not exist with-out you. To the TEARS team, you amaze me every single day, thank you for your passion and commitment to every cat and dog that we help. I am so proud of you all.

changing lives at theTEARS KENNELS & CATTERYTEARS Animal Rescue provides shelter and care for up to 140 cats and kittens and 120 dogs and puppies who have been rescued from abuse, neglect or abandonment while they wait to be adopted. Your support turns hopeless into hope and has helped transform the lives of thou-sands of dogs and cats, giving them their second chance at a loving home and a life free from suffering.

The TEARS Cattery, situated at Wenga Farm, provides a safe, caring and enriching environment for our feline friends who need time to recover from trauma, neglect and abuse and for cats who just need to find a new way in life. The TEARS Cattery features a Maternity Unit for nursing mothers with kittens, a designated Kitten Area for adoptable kittens, multiple indoor/outdoor enclosures for adoptable adult cats, Isolation Wards for sick and convalescing felines and a surgery for vet procedures and the Feral Cat Project.

The TEARS Kennels, situated on the same property as the TEARS Wel-fare Clinic, provides facilities for dogs ranging from puppy accom-modation to adult enclosures and kennels. A wide range of housing meets the needs of the many different types of dog temperaments, sociability and sizes. The site also features exercise runs, a training area as well as quiet spaces for those who may need a little more TLC and attention.

With behavioural expertise and other skilled staff, the TEARS Cattery and Kennels provide a high standard of animal welfare. We believe in giving the best to the animals we have in our care and our incredi-ble team of staff and volunteers are responsible for the effective and efficient operation of both the Kennels and the Cattery. It’s all about turning tears of sadness to tears of joy.

SECOND CHANCESwe believe in

TEARS Animal Rescue is committed to changing individual lives. Our animal care staff use a holistic approach to include veterinary, physi-cal, mental and emotional wellbeing, ensuring that the animals in our care truly flourish during their time with us. Our shelter animals re-ceive one-on-one attention from staff and volunteers, and it is this love and compassion which makes a big difference in an animal’s life. With successful rehabilitation comes successful rehoming, giving them their second chance at a happy life.

The majority of dogs and cats in our care have been rescued as strays or surrendered or uplifted from the low-income communities in which we work. Coming from less than ideal circumstances means that it’s imperative that they learn how to put their best paw forward and get ready to start the next chapter in their lives: experiencing what it’s like to be part of a loving family. Some rescued animals need a little more time and guidance than others, but we believe that every dog and cat has their day and there’s a perfect family for every rescue.

REHABILITATE

REHOME

Rescued from a shack fire in Vrygrond these two suffered both internal and external fire related injuries. With a little love and attention Hope and Hero recovered and have blos-somed into two much loved, and quickly adopted, felines.

HOPE & A HERO{all you need is a little

No matter how hard our world gets there is still so much love in it. Every day we meet people who have so much love for their animals, you can see it in their eyes. There is nothing more rewarding than working with people whose faces light up with one purr or bark from their furry friends.

FOR US ALL IS LOVE{the only path wide enough

Welfare Veterinary ClinicThe clinic provides veterinary care at a subsidised welfare rate, and has radio-graphic and diagnostic facilities in sup-port of surgery, consultations and other treatments. An average of 30-40 hospital patients are treated daily ranging from motor vehicle accidents, biliary, ehrlichia, malnutrition, animal bites, gun-shot and knife wounds, diseases and more.

Mobile Clinic & AmbulanceThe TEARS Mobile Clinic takes primary health services directly to vulnerable an-imals in the low income communities of Masiphumelele, Ocean View, Redhill and Vrygrond. Our mobile team picks up in-jured and abandoned animals, provides primary healthcare and ambulances ani-mals in need of hospital treatment to the TEARS Clinic.

Spay & NeuterSterilisation is key to alleviating suffering and pet homelessness.. TEARS provides free sterilisations for companion animals in the low income communities it serves, as well as feral cat colonies across the West-ern Cape. During this financial year 4,999 cats and dogs were sterilised. To date, TEARS has sterilised 72,447 animals.

Parasite ControlThough fairly common in pets, the health impacts of parasites can be life threat-ening. Controlling ticks, fleas, worms and mange uplifts the lives of pets and their caregivers and children. We treat all hos-pital patients for parasites, and administer dippings and parasite control via our mo-bile clinics in the communities we serve.

Feral Cat ProjectLooking after feral cats, often called com-munity cats, the TEARS Feral Cat Project sterilises and feeds feral cats from across the Western Cape. Though primarily with-in the Cape Town Metropole, the project also reaches out to areas further afield where the need is often the greatest.

VaccinationsVaccination is fundamental to prevent the spread of infectious and fatal diseases such as parvovirus, distemper, parainflu-enza, adenovirus and rabies in dogs and calicivirus, panleukopaenia, chlamydia, rhi-notracheitis, feline herpesvirus (FHV) and rabies in cats.

Education is key to achieving our mission. We are passionate about teaching communities and their children about basic animal health-care and responsible pet ownership.

As part of our primary healthcare programme we ensure that one-on-one conversations as well as broader engagement takes place in the context in which the animals live. Whether it is children who come to the kennels looking for leads and collars, community members who need help with providing their pets with a secure and comfortable environment or pet owners who bring their animals to our mobile clinics, TEARS staff and volunteers aim to provide the information and access to tools necessary to keep animals safe.

We aim to expand formal educational outreach programmes across our vulnerable communities to effect positive change through em-powering and inspiring both adults and children.

Our Feral Cat Project aims to reduce feral cat populations and en-hance the lives of feral cat colonies through a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programme. TNR represents an effective solution for feral cats by stablilising colonies, improving the cats’ wellbeing and saving lives through veterinary care and sterilisations.

As relocation and eradication are not viable options, stray or feral cats are humanely trapped and taken to the TEARS Clinic to be ster-ilised, ear-tipped, tested, treated and vaccinated. After recovering from surgery, the feral cats are released back to their colonies where an active feeding and monitoring programme is in place.

The Feral Cat Project is supported by an amazing team of volunteers. During the 2019/2020 financial year, a total of 2,766 cats and kittens were sterilised, preventing around 12,000 kittens being born into a life of hardship and reducing shelter intake. With the help of our volun-teer feeders, TEARS feeds 20 feral cat colonies comprising about 500 feral cats.

Animals often get dropped off at TEARS as strays or we get called to pick up lost animals across our operational area. Every effort is made to reunite lost animal with their guardians. Found posters are printed and displayed where the animals are found and we have a dedicated TEARS Lost and Found Facebook Page to help network lost and found pets in the hope of getting them home.

We offer a place of safety from busy roads and dark nights and have been able to reunite many animals with their families. After ten days at TEARS unclaimed animals are considered abandoned. In prepara-tion for their new beginnings they are vaccinated, sterilised and mi-crochipped before moving across to the kennels or cattery for adop-tion.

there’s nothing like the heart of a VOLUNTEERVolunteers are part of the heart and soul of TEARS. We recognise and appreciate each and every volunteer who gifts their time and skills in support of the animals and our team. The kennel volunteers are essential to the rehabilitation and rehoming of our rescue dogs and pups. Our cat-tery volunteers provide much needed human contact and love to our rescued and abandoned cats. Thank you to our fosters and our home-checkers. The faster we can rehabilitate and rehome, the more animals we can take in and help. So thank you to everyone involved with the dogs and cats. We acknowledge and are extremely grateful to those of you who assist in maintaining and improving our facil-ities, both at the cattery and kennels. To the volunteers who assist with marketing, fundraising, adoption days and events, and in our shops - thank you! We recognise and truly value each of your contributions to helping TEARS and our rescue animals.

partnering with kindred organisations to extend

Collaborating with other welfare organisations enables us to extend our reach outside our operational area. We also work closely with community leaders to increase our impact in the communities we serve.

In Ocean View, we have forged a close and supportive relationship with 1 Kennel at a Time, who reports ani-mals in need of veterinary treatment and neglected or abandoned animals in need of help. We also run food drives to feed hungry pets in Ocean View.

In Vrygrond we have partnered with AfriPaw, a non-profit animal welfare organisation that has strong ties with community leaders, to provide mass sterilisations. We work closely with community leaders in Redhill and Ma-siphumelele to provide animal healthcare services and to ensure that we are alerted to any emergency cases.

TEARS is proud to have partnered with DARG (Domestic Animal Rescue Group), Adopt-a-Pet, Pitpals and Red-hill Animal Rescue, with our main objectives being sterilisation, vaccinations and microchipping.

Thirty percent of our sterilisations are in support of other animal welfare organisations outside of our opera-tional area.

OUR REACH AND IMPACT

In collaboration with UCT, the effects of zoonosis (diseases, viruses and par-asites that can spread between animals and humans) was researched within the communities where TEARS operates.

The findings concluded that the impact of TEARS’ primary healthcare services in these communities has a positive effect on the health of animal popula-tions. Consequently, healthy animals result in a healthier human population with less zoonotic disease outbreaks such as rabies, scabies, and leptospirosis.

With continued education and veterinary support to the animals, TEARS will continue to assist in maintaining a healthier human population within these communities.

MAKE A DIFFERENCEsupport the cause and

There are many different ways in which you can make a difference in the life of the animals that TEARS cares for. Though it may appear that adoption and donations are the only ways to help, rest assured that there is something for everyone! Here are just a few ways in which you can help TEARS ensure that animals get the care and love they need. The bigger the team of TEARS supporters, the more animals are helped.

Support Our Charity ShopsThe four TEARS Charity Shops are located in Sunnydale, Valyland Shopping Centre, Fish Hoek and Retreat. We rely entirely on donations of previously loved goods - if we can sell it, we need it! By shopping second-hand at TEARS Charity Shops you’re giving animals a second chance at a better life.

Opt To AdoptUnconditional love is waiting for you at TEARS Animal Rescue! Come meet your new soul mate and know that with one adoption you are saving two animal’s lives: the one by your side and the one that will be able to be rescued because there is now a space available.

TEARS Collection TinsDo you have a counter available for a TEARS collection tin? Whether it be in your shop or even at your bridge club, donations come from many sources. Our collection tins generate an average of R17,000 per month.

Leave A LegacyBe remembered for what really matters to you by leaving a bequest to TEARS Animal Rescue in your will. Continue to make a dif-ference to the lives of animals even after you are gone. No matter the amount, one single legacy can make a huge difference to our work in rescuing, treating, rehabili-tating and rehoming animals in need.

Shop With Your HeartFeed hungry pets while feeding yours. By shopping online, the care of your beloved pets can help us care for animals in need.
