Happy outcome to a cruel situation

18/1/2019

 
This adult Chacma baboon (Papio ursinus) was confiscated in a collaborative effort between SPCA Randfontein & Westonaria as well as SPCA Roodepoort Krugersdorp. After receiving an anonymous tip, the team confiscated the baboon and transported him to our hospital.

Once sedated, we examined him and found that he was severely underweight and in poor condition, likely from stress and incorrect nutrition. He has been transferred to a permitted specialist primate facility where he will be reintegrated with other baboons and prepared for his eventual release back into the wild.

Thank you to the respective SPCA's for their tireless work and dedication to our urban wildlife.

otterly adorable update

14/1/2019

 
A few weeks ago, we introduced you to this African clawless otter (Aonyx capensis) who was kept illegally as a pet, and confiscated by the local SPCA. While in captivity, this little otter cub was fed the incorrect diet.

During the past few weeks, it was critical for us to ensure that we provided her with the right nutrition to ensure that she would grow and meet all the necessary developmental milestones. We asked you to assist us, with our One Meal campaign, which helped us greatly! She is still receiving bottles, however, she is slowly being weaned off her bottles as she consumes (and becomes more interested) in eating tilapia!

A MASSIVE thank you to Fisheries Hartbeespoort for donating all the fish an otter could possibly need! We have received unwavering donations and assistance from Fisheries HBP, and we cannot thank you enough!

latest patient

14/10/2018

 
We are currently fighting hard for the survival of this newly born vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus).

We collected him from SPCA Carletonville after he was found next to his dead mom. With the umbilical cord still attached, he was newly born and highly compromised, still covered in blood. His prognosis is guarded and we are doing everything we can to ensure his survival.

Our thanks to the Carletonville SPCA and inspector Bokkie for their assistance and for collaborating with us as well as primary carer for this vervet, permitted volunteer, Lauren Beckley.

tale of two servals

28/8/2018

 
Recently Sandton SPCA confiscated two sub-adult male serval (Leptailurus serval) from a private residence in Bryanston, Johannesburg. They were being kept illegally as pets. 

We sedated them and both underwent a complete health check. They were in good health, albeit a little overweight. 

The one has already been placed into a pre-release enclosure at his release site and the other one will soon be placed on another reserve. Because they are both male, they cannot be released into the same territory.
