Animal Anti-Cruelty League

The Animal Anti-Cruelty League was established in 1956 as an independent self-sufficient welfare organisation that exists to prevent and eliminate cruelty to all animals whether arising from ignorance, neglect or deliberate cruelty and to service the less advantaged communities though education to care for their pets.

We house unwanted, stray, rescued and abandoned animals at our facilities with the aim to rehabilitate them for adoption.

The Animal Anti-Cruelty League Cape Town is situated in Epping and has a satellite branch in Bellville South. The two branches are equipped with a Clinic and a Theatre and an Adoptions department. The main Epping branch houses the Inspectorate department and mobilizes a Mobile clinic which visits disadvantaged areas five times a week to assist the community with primary health care and vaccinations.

As a non-profit organisation we survive on public donations alone and through our own fundraising efforts, we offer a subsidized animal primary health service, support and education to less fortunate communities. By increasing the public's involvement in our fundraising efforts, we hope to be able to continue to provide the essential health service desperately needed in our communities and to be able to rescue more animals in our surrounding areas.
