Upgrading of existing kennels: Top priority for safety reasons.

To repair or replace the roofing and facia boards to the dog kennels. Several of the kennels leak during winter creating a disastrous environment for the dogs.

Repair to concrete floors, replace all existing wire meshing and frames as well as doors. To be replaced with new safer design, all galvanised. To be undertaken over a period of time. Diseases play a large role in the loss of many animals and it is proving almost impossible to sterilise and prepare kennels properly, as the viruses (parvovirus and distemper especially) and bacteria go into the cracks and holes. This too creates an enormous wastage in expenditure as animals have to be constantly treated for these illnesses, which they get from this shelter.

Three 3m x 7m Wendy Houses

One to replace the old prefab which MUST be scrapped before the end of April (before the rains). It can’t be repaired further and the electrical wiring is exposed. A disaster just waiting to happen. There is simply no space elsewhere to place the freezer (sadly but necessarily used to store carcasses) and the washing machines etc.

The second wendy house is needed to replace the second prefab, which too, must be scrapped for the same reason as above. This prefab is currently used to house as many as 15 cats. There is no other available area to house them - meaning additional euthanasia of cats due to lack of space.

The third wendy house will stock good quality second hand clothing and bric a brac which will be sold to the public. This will generate an income.
