A wave of kindness has washed over the SPCA in Randfontein and Westonaria, which cares for 300 vulnerable animals, and it was in the form of a much-needed financial boost.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

West Rand, South Africa (28 May 2025)<\/em> – The Randfontein and Westonaria SPCA on the West Rand were recently on the receiving end of a generous donation that will greatly help care for the 300 vulnerable animals at the shelter.<\/p>\n

During a radio interview<\/a> with Martin Bester on Jacaranda FM SPCA Manager and Inspector Ren\u00e9 van Straten opened up about the challenges she and her team face on a daily. This looks like anything from attending to a chained dog or one burnt with hot water by its owner, to rushing to an accident scene involving a cattle truck.<\/p>\n

In April, Ren\u00e9 and her team attended to 40 abuse cases, this is all while grappling with strained financial resources and the daily demands of food, medication, blankets, bowls, toys, and payment for veterinary services for the animals.<\/p>\n

Moved by the challenges that the Randfontein and Westonaria SPCA<\/a> endures day in and day out, the Good Morning Angels, together with Martin Bester and Round Table’s Warm Fees, stepped in to help with a generous R70,000 donation to help keep their animals safe and warm this winter. In addition to this, Bester also committed to championing a blanket drive for the SPCA.<\/p>\n

A grateful, Ren\u00e9 was overcome with gratitude during the show and thanked the team for the funds that will not only lift a heavy burden, but also bring about but also bring about many wagging tails, soft purrs and happy chirps!<\/p>\n
