The TEARS Animal Rescue Cattery needs help, they are at capacity, with many beautiful, vibrant kittens (under four months), juveniles (4-12 months) and adult cats that deserve to feel loved, cherished and safe!
Small kittens are in highest demand so as cats get older it gets harder to find them loving homes! The juveniles, who are ostensibly older kittens, need homes, and are at the perfect age and size to slot into a family. Juveniles are ready to fit in with children, other cats or cat-friendly dogs, or just to keep the humans company! They are full of life, love and endless potential, and deserve to know and feel the warmth of a loving family.
Now is the perfect time for a playful and affectionate addition to your family! With some of the cats being bonded pairs, why not consider adding two couch potato friends to your family! The juveniles up for adoption have spent their first few months with TEARS and have had to grow up without knowing how it feels to be a part of a family where they can really belong.
With the cattery capacity levels at a bursting point, adopting a cat will save two lives: the cat you adopt and another at risk cat that fills the space your cat leaves at TEARS. Homeless cats are at risk of exposure due to extreme weather conditions and a lack of shelter. They are also at risk of starvation and associated risks such as motor vehicle accidents while they scavenge the streets! With the weather changing, these cats deserve a chance to get out of the cold to safety. They will get sterilised by TEARS’ veterinary team and will no longer be part of the seemingly endless breeding cycle. These cats will be the lucky ones so help us save these fur babies by adopting and not shopping!
Ready to meet your new furry friend? Visit us at Tears Cattery and see for yourself the incredible personalities waiting to find their forever homes. You can help give these sweet souls the life they’ve always deserved.
The TEARS adoption process includes three simple steps: completing the online Adoption Application; visiting TEARS to meet-your-match (or matches), and completing a home check so you become the official pet parent to your new four-(or even three-) legged best friend!
For those who cannot adopt, financial donations or donating pre-loved items to the TEARS Thrift Shops helps fund the costs in keeping the TEARS Veterinary Hospital and Mobile Clinics, kennels and cattery open and running!

ABOUT TEARS ANIMAL RESCUE:
TEARS is a pro-life, non-profit organisation established in 1999 (registered in terms of Section 18A of the Income Tax Act) whose core aim is to rescue, treat, rehabilitate, reunite, and rehome lost, abandoned, abused, and neglected companion animals and to educate pet owners and the youth living in the four under-resourced communities within which we operate.
We strive to meet the needs of the under-resourced communities in the Southern Peninsula by providing:
● free sterilisations and subsidised medical support that includes vaccinations, deworming, and parasite control
● access to two TEARS mobile clinics that offer primary healthcare and pet care support.
● Access to the TEARS Veterinary Clinic, offering veterinary care for vulnerable pets for almost any condition, illness, or injury at a welfare rate.
TEARS remains the only facility in the Cape Peninsula’s far South available seven days per week, including an after-hours mobile clinic service from 4.30pm to 7pm with limited veterinary care. TEARS treat the hundreds of animals who need treatment each month for various conditions, illnesses, and injuries.
Our experience enables us to manage the population control of companion animals in these areas, based on available funding, and to reduce the spread of zoonoses as a means of supporting community health and complying to the WHO’s One Health approach to the animal-human interface.
We are partnered with community-based NGOs and community leaders to support vulnerable pets and pet owners living in the four core communities we are mandated to serve. Our Programmes aim to bring about systemic change through strategic interventions based on community involvement and support. Implementing effective animal welfare solutions in high-density and low-income communities has been proven to positively impact human welfare by delivering health, environmental, economic, educational, and social benefits.
