Happening on 26 November 2025, the countdown to Gansbaai Steri-Thon has begun!
What started as a setback turned into one of our most heart-warming community days yet! Jason and I were already at the venue by 07:00 to catch anyone who might have missed the postponement notification - thankfully, most did, but SteriThon turned those lemons into pure lemonade!
First, a huge thank you to Trudy, who arrived with brownies originally meant for the catering. Not long after, a young boy arrived with his sick puppy, so we helped, shared a brownie, and told him to send his friends with their pups for treatment, and just like that, a mobile clinic was born!
Throughout the morning we:
• Treated wounds
• Dewormed most of Blompark
• Provided tick and flea care
• Shared basic first-aid skills
• Cleaned wounds and offered guidance
A big shoutout to Adele for jumping in with her amazing tick-removal and skin treatment skills!
The incredible EberVet team donated prepacked kibble, and thanks to them, every malnourished pet that arrived went home with a week’s worth of high-quality food.
We also managed to register 29 more dogs for sterilisation, including several female pitbulls. Thank you to everyone who made this possible!
To Sheryll, who was stuck in Pearly due to the fire disaster, we missed you terribly! You would’ve loved the energy of the day.
SAAWIA also stepped in when needed, and we were able to issue a warning for animal abuse on Leeubekkie Street.
Thank you to every volunteer, every donor, and every pet parent who showed up.
A challenging day turned into a huge success filled with new faces, wagging tails, and grateful hearts.

We’re filled with gratitude as we reflect on the amazing support we’ve received for our community-led Steri-Thon initiative.
For those who haven’t yet heard about it: Gansbaai Steri-Thon is essentially a sterilisation “marathon” for cats and dogs.
We’re delighted to share that 10 cats were successfully sterilised on 22 October 2025.
Our planned Steri-Thon not only includes sterilisation, but also the Rabies vaccination and the 5in1 vaccination, deworming and tick and flea treatment.
We’re thrilled to share that we’ve raised enough funds to sterilise and vaccinate 43 dogs and cats, and we’re just getting started!
