Established in 1872, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA is the founding society of the SPCA movement in South Africa and the oldest animal welfare institution in the country. It is affiliated to the RSPCA, is a member of the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) and is an Executive member of the National Council of SPCAs South Africa.

Over the past 137 years we have diligently carried out our mission to prevent cruelty to animals, through education, law enforcement (our Inspectorate operates around the clock investigating reports of animal cruelty and neglect), veterinary care services (24 hour animal hospital and three mobile clinics serving impoverished communities), and running a kennel, cattery, horse care unit and adoption centre, which every year places hundreds of animals in loving and caring homes.

Our area of operation is vast and covers approximately 11 000km². Last year alone the society sterilized over 4000 animals, thus helping to reduce the region’s animal over-population problem. By providing primary veterinary care, we not only helped thousands of individual animals, but also improved the health of their human family by reducing the spread of mange (human scabies) and worms. In the same period we re-homed 784 companion animals and responded to thousands of reports of animal cruelty.

Steadfast in our determination to raise awareness of animal welfare and to significantly reduce and prevent animal cruelty, we provide veterinary care to those communities most in need and a qualified team of experienced inspectors, ready to prevent animal cruelty, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
