Second Chance Rescue Centre was established in January 2009. We are a no-kill shelter and take the responsibility for sick, injured, abandoned and orphaned kittens from 0 – 7 weeks in the greater Durban area.  Up to date, we have successfully re-homed 49 kittens, and have a constant flow of new arrivals, there are also 31 adult cats in our care, which could not be homed.

The kittens that come into our care are often in need of great medical attention and our vet bills tend to mount, we therefore rely on donations to keep the sanctuary running.  All donations are used for the general care of the kittens such as medical treatment, bottle feeding, feeding, blankets, de-worming, de-fleaing, constant laundering, etc…

We seek permanent, loving homes where our kittens can live a long, happy and healthy life.  Re-homing is done after an adoption application is completed and a home check has been done to ensure that the kitten will be cared for the rest of its life.

KITTEN ACTION was launched in 1998 to rescue abandoned and unwanted kittens and to care for them until they are old enough to go to permanent homes.

Because most animal welfare shelters do not have the staff, funds, facilities, or sadly, sometimes even the will, to care for under-age, sickly or untamed kittens, these animals are usually “put down” immediately. Scores of unwanted or abandoned kittens, who would otherwise be put down or die cruel deaths are saved every year by Kitten Action,  a Durban-based organisation that takes in kittens from as young as a few hours old and bottle-feeds them. More importantly, it finds homes for them and ensures that they are sterilized before reaching six months of age.

In line with Kitten Action’s motto : Every One Deserves A Chance, tiny kittens like these are bottle-reared by caring foster parents and when they are old enough, loving homes are found for them.
