With the recent economic decline, people have to give up their homes as well as their family pets. This in turn means that the Cats and Dogs Project is running at full capacity and in desperate need for extra helping hands and people to give these animals the human touch that they crave. The Cats and Dogs Project also does school visits within the local area to educate children on how to take care of their animals and pets. A Traveling Clinic goes out five times per week to the impoverished townships in the area where they give injections, dip animals and give general primary veterinary advice. Depending on the circumstances, volunteers might be allowed to accompany staff on such days.
