Letter from THE EDITOR Dear Friends, It’s been an exciting and gruelling start to 2015 - a year that’s already had our wonderful team of inspectors and animal welfarists working round the clock, taking care of animals in need. This is no easy job - and waking up to news of a fire, twice in one year is enough to send anyone running for the hills. But our staff are dedicated and passionate - and each of them are every day heroes who bring out the silver lining in every dark situation (read more about our journey with fire on pages 8-10). Times like these though, would be far more daunting, were it not for the support of our more
than generous donors, like yourselves. Your support - both financially and in spirit, are what keep our inspectors, hospital and kennel staff motivated. Seeing the thousands of donations and gifts in kind which came through our doors after both fires, inspired a new energy amongst our team coupled with a good few tears of joy. In our first edition for the year, we tell you about the wonderful story of Indigo - whose story is proof of our staff’s commitment to helping any animal in need (pg. 13). We also share with you some tips on how you can best care for your pets during the coming cold months
(pg. 18), and how to house train your puppy (pg. 15). We give you a sneak peek into our continuing Animal Care Centre redevelopment (pg. 21) and give a heartfelt thanks to 148 cyclists who peddled their way to an incredible, record-breaking half a million Rand for animals (pg. 22). We hope you enjoy this edition of our new-look Footprints - please feel free to write to us and share your thoughts. We’d love to hear your happy tails with your own furry friends. Wanika.

IN THE AFTERMATH Months after an arson attack gutted the Cape of Good Hope SPCA’s on-site Charity Shop, and wild fires raged through most of the Cape Peninsula affecting a number of wildlife, the Society remains steadfast in its mission.

And whilst we believe that most of the wildlife who call the national park home, made it out safely, our attention has been focussed on the treatment of injured and displaced animals. Months after the fire, the outlook is a very positive one with the fire-adapted (and dependent) fynbos vegetation already showing signs of new life, and our team now better equipped than ever before - our mission remains top of mind to always continue, through any situation, to speak for, protect and care for all animals.

GOING HOME One of the biggest tasks for our wildlife unit, came days after the fires on the mountain were extinguished. Rescuing animals that came out of hiding those just displaced, and those with serious injuries. Whilst both of the greybokkies that came into our centre were too seriously injured to survive, and three out of the five porcupines also succumbed to their injuries, a number of tortoises, snakes and two porcupines recovered well. Together with Table Mountain National Park, our team was able to release two angulate and four parrot beak tortoises, a couple of Cape Cobras, a Puff Adder and a Boomslang, as well as one of the surviving porcupines (the other remains in our care for the moment still undergoing treatment) back into their natural home in the national park. “It’s a beautiful end to a tragic story seeing this brave (porcupine) going back home, after weeks of painstakingly cleaning and treating his wounds every day - it’s all worth it for this one amazing moment. This is what it’s all about” remarked Megan Reid, Wildlife Unit Supervisor.

In February, our Horse Care Unit attended to a plea from an owner for his pony who was suffering from severe colic. When the team arrived, the owner insisted the pony had recovered. But in their wisdom, our inspectors made sure to check the pony before they left. The property was overrun with thick bush, rubble and rubbish. Twenty Cents, as he was named, stood in a tiny, rickety, run-down structure. Nothing prepared the team for the
sight before them. Twenty Cents stood, head hanging, tied with a rough rope, no water or food and looking like a skeleton with pressure sores from his withers down to his hind quarters. His coat was dull and filthy and yet he beamed the most soulful eyes. Anne Boyce, our HCU Supervisor, informed the owner that Twenty Cents
would be removed and brought into our care for urgent medical attention. One month after receiving medical care from our vets, the now more aptly named, Indigo, was already a brighter soul. Our staff were able to gently brush him, and treat his pressure sores and very sensitive skin, while he softly beckoned for a good cuddle every morning. And, since Indigo’s owners never responded to our messages, nor checked on his health, Indigo was

Puppy Survival Kit Tips on how to train your puppy Owning a pet can be tough work especially when it comes to battling those bad habits and behaviours. Megan Hagglund, Pet Behaviourist and Puppy Trainer, shared some tips with Footprints on how to house-train your dogs: A puppy will need to relieve itself every few hours (the number of hours equals their age plus 1 hour). Other factors that will increase this frequency include drinking water, eating, and waking up from a sleep.
l
l
l
Always praise your dog for getting it right - the more you do this, the faster your dog will learn. Never reprimand your dog for messing in the house. Never clean up the mess in front of your dog.
Training aids to assist you: Footsack spray (Discourages dog from going to treated areas)
Absorbent training pads
Pheroma spray (Eliminates odour)
Treats (for when they get it right)
All products listed are available at the SPCA Vet Shops in Plumstead and Grassy Park.
Some tricks to make it easy and stress-free for you include: l Take your dog outside every few hours. l With young pups, wake up during the night and take them outside. l Pick up the water bowl overnight. l Stick to a regular feeding time and feed a high quality pet food - this promotes regular bowel movements.

21 Wiggle Waggles for Cape Town
Nearly 2000 walkers, 2- and 4-legged, flocked from all over Cape Town to take part in the 21st annual Cape of Good Hope (CoGH) SPCA’s MyPlanet Wiggle Waggle Walkathon at the Cape Academy of Maths, Science and Technology, Firgrove Way, Tokai on Sunday 7 December 2014. The 4.5km charity dog walk raised R132 000 which, thanks to the contribution of event sponsor, MyPlanet, will all go toward helping the CoGH SPCA prevent animal cruelty. Despite the hot weather, participants enjoyed spot prize giveaways, various stalls, and children’s entertainment. One of Cape Town’s most-loved, Soli Philander brought a vibrant energy to the morning as the event MC. A big thank you to everyone who walked (with or without a dog); to volunteers and sponsors for making this year’s Wiggle Waggle a huge success. Lisa Templeton gets into the festive spirit with Jasper

Pet Care for the Changing Season Just like people, our pets need some extra care during the change of season - and if you take care, it could be the perfect season to enjoy both the in- and outdoors with your best friend. The following tips should help make the shift into the new season enjoyable for both you and your pet. It’s important at this time of year to assess your pet’s condition, age, weight and level of exercise, and make adjustments for the colder weather. If you use indoor heaters, make sure your pets can’t chew the cords or get burned. Close up your fireplaces or block off any fire pits in order to keep your pets protected. Dogs may need slightly more calories in cold weather if they spend time outdoors. Give them a little extra food which generates body heat, if they exercise heavily outdoors.
18
One of the best ways to keep you both safe when exercising in dim light, is the use of reflective gear and flashlights. Try to maintain some level of exercise for your pets during the colder weather to avoid excess weight gain.
Heavy shedding of hair can however be a sign of health problems. Skin allergies and parasites as well as poor nutrition or other health problems may trigger shedding. If you are unsure consult your vet.
Snakes tend to be a little bad-tempered when they are preparing for hibernation, thus increasing the possibility of bites, so be careful when walking in areas prone to snakes.
The cold weather can lead to increased pain from arthritis caused by inflamed joints. If your pets are having trouble moving, moving slower than usual, whimpering when they move, or just seem generally uncomfortable they may be suffering from seasonal arthritis and you should consult your vet.
During the change of season, dogs typically lose their shorter, lighter summer coats to make room for a heavier protective fur for winter. In the spring, this cycle is reversed - the winter coat is shed.
A gift that makes a difference There are many ways to support the work of the Cape of Good Hope SPCA and one way in particular which guarantees a lasting legacy.
T
he CoGH SPCA receives no government funding, and so the support received from trusts and bequests are exceptionally important to the society that speaks for animals. Legacies help fight cruelty to animals and educate communities on proper animal care. They give second chances to neglected and abused pets; and to injured and displaced wildlife. Leaving a legacy could be the most meaningful and significant statement you make for animals in need. By leaving a gift in your Will you will become a member of the CoGH SPCA Bequest Society, which is made up of like-minded individuals who strongly believe in helping the creatures of this world that cannot speak for themselves.
Your legacy will help rescue animals from crisis and distress well into the future. Bequest Society Member, Marian Woodward, explains why she chose to leave a legacy: “My husband and I supported the SPCA since we got our first dog in 1960. He was with us for 17 years and was like a child to us. Animals need someone to speak for them so that’s why I’m leaving the Cape of Good Hope SPCA the bulk of my estate.” Please consider leaving a legacy to Cape of Good Hope SPCA and know that your gift will help prevent cruelty to all animals and rescue them from crisis and distress well into the future.
For more information on how to leave a lasting gift, contact Joette Emerton on 021 700 4150 or email bequestofficer@spca-ct.co.za. You can also visit our website at www.spca-ct.co.za/bequest

Exotic Animals Are Not Pets Imagine if life as we knew it meant only having a 1,5m radius of freedom. A life where we were fed not what we wanted to eat or drink - but what was merely handed to us, day in and day out. A life without the freedom to get up and go - to do the things we wanted, when we wanted. This is the life that many wild animals are subjected to, daily, throughout the world. And more specifically, what many exotic animals experience by being kept as pets - away from their natural habitat. Monkeys, snakes, hedgehogs, tortoises, exotic birds - these are just some animals that make their way to organisations like the Cape of Good Hope SPCA, because pet owners neglect to take proper care of their exotic pets, or because a nosey-
neighbour finds the courage to report illegal ownership of unpermitted pets/blacklisted animals. A recent example is that of a rhesus macaque monkey - kept by irresponsible pet owners for no less than 10 years in an enclosure 1,5m squared in size, with no access to sunlight or the fresh outdoors. The CoGH SPCA was called in to assist Cape Nature, the authority on wildlife in the Western Cape, with the removal of the monkey from the premises.
To find out more about the permits required in the Western Cape for the keeping of exotic animals as pets, contact Cape Nature on 021 955 9120 or visit www.capenature.co.za. What to do if you suspect your neighbour is keeping an exotic pet illegally? If you suspect that your neighbour or someone you know is may be keeping an exotic animals illegally as a pet, contact the authorities (Cape Nature) immediately to report the matter.

PAVING THE WAY in Animal Welfare In January of this year, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA commenced work on a major redevelopment project that will take the animal welfare organisation to greater heights in the near future - increasing its capacity to speak for, protect and care for animals by a whopping 75%! Phase 1 of the building project (142 years of Speaking for, Protecting and Caring for all Animals; Footprints Issue 2, 2014) commenced late January 2015 and has been going according to schedule which means the Society should look forward to a brand new Animal Care Centre and Pound facility, including a new on site Charity Shop and Vet Shop before the year closes. Here’s a look in pictures of the progress:
