Midrand SPCA is experiencing significant financial pressure. Without a broader and more sustainable base of support, it is becoming increasingly difficult to meet the costs of delivering these essential services.
Despite months of fundraising efforts and the generosity of supporters who have helped us through difficult periods, we continue to struggle to secure the funding needed to sustain our operations.

For 37 years, the Midrand SPCA has been a vital part of our community, investigating animal cruelty, responding to emergencies, rescuing animals in distress and caring for stray animals. Over the past year alone, our work has touched the lives of more than 23,000 animals.
The need for these services continues every day.
Animals will still need protection. Cruelty complaints will still need to be investigated. Animals in our care will still need food, veterinary treatment and daily attention.
Midrand continues to grow, with new residential developments, businesses and infrastructure transforming the area. Yet the resources available to the Midrand SPCA have not kept pace with the demands of the community it serves. As the area expands, so does the need for animal welfare services, cruelty investigations and assistance to animals in distress. The responsibility to protect these animals does not grow with the community unless the resources to do so grow as well.
In the previous financial year, Midrand SPCA touched the lives of more than 23,000 animals.
In the first six months of the 2026/2027 financial year, Midrand SPCA has continued its vital work, reaching more than ๐ฎ๐ฐ,๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐บ๐ฎ๐น๐ through inspections, cruelty investigations, rescue operations and direct animal care.
Between ๐๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ถ๐น ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฒ, our work included:
๐ญ๐ฐ,๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ณ animals monitored during routine inspections
๐ญ๐ฑ๐ฏ cruelty investigations involving ๐ฏ,๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ณ animals
๐ญ,๐ญ๐ฒ๐ฌ animals collected and rescued
๐ญ๐ฏ๐ฌ after-hours calls responded to
๐ฏ,๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ญ animals admitted into our care
๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฎ animals sterilised
๐ญ,๐ฎ๐ฒ๐ฒ animals receiving veterinary treatment and preventative care
Delivering these responsibilities requires reliable financial resources, yet we cannot continue indefinitely without the financial resources needed to fulfil them.
It currently costs between R480,000 and R520,000 per month to operate Midrand SPCA and sustain its essential animal welfare services. Despite ongoing fundraising efforts and the generosity of our supporters, the Society is facing a ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ต๐น๐ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ณ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐

This ongoing shortfall places increasing pressure on our ability to meet essential operating expenses and maintain the services that animals and our community depend on. We urgently need to broaden our support base and encourage more individuals, businesses and corporate partners to contribute, whether through once-off donations or regular monthly support.
Continued support will help Midrand SPCA maintain its established role in protecting animals, investigating cruelty and responding to welfare concerns across the community.

We are appealing to individuals, businesses, corporate partners, trusts and foundations to help us through this critical period.
We urgently need:
- Immediate financial contributions to help sustain our operations.
- Monthly donors who can provide reliable, ongoing support.
- Businesses and corporate partners willing to make meaningful financial commitments.
- Introductions to potential major donors and funding partners who may be able to help secure our future.
Every contribution matters, whether it is a once-off donation, a monthly commitment or an introduction to someone who can help.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who supports the Midrand SPCA. Every contribution, whether regular or once-off, helps us continue our work and makes a difference to the animals who depend on us. However, the responsibility of sustaining the Society cannot rest on the shoulders of a few generous supporters alone. We need more individuals and businesses to please stand with us and contribute towards securing the future of the essential animal welfare services our community relies on.
