THIS MANDELA DAY, HELP US FIX BELLA’S BROKEN FENCE!
Your contribution will go twice as far, as we will match each donation.
Bella’s Guardian Angels Animal Rescue needs to raise R67 000 to repair the damaged fencing around the animals’ enclosures.
Bella's already received R24,800 and counting . . .
that equals R49,600 with SBM rand-for-rand match!
The existing wooden structure is deteriorating and has already broken in places. A strong, secure fence is essential to protect the rescued animals and provide them with a safe environment.
Over the next three days, to help Bella’s reach this goal, Stand By Me Animal Care will match donations made towards the fencing project.
At SBM Animal Care we believe in helping people help animals. For almost two years we have proudly partnered with Bella’s Guardian Angels. Every month we sponsor vulnerable litters, giving them the care they need before finding them their forever homes.
Help us to help people help animals.

Stray Cat Populations
The Worcester Yacht Club on the Brandvlei Dam, about 110km from Cape Town, is a water sport club with roughly 80 weekend cabins and a campsite. A community of stray cats occasionally outgrows the area’s capacity to maintain a balanced environment. In extreme cases, some people resort to inhumane methods like killing the animals. Instead, we promote compassionate sterilization efforts to stabilize the cat population, safeguard their wellbeing, and foster harmony for both humans and animals. By coming together — similarly to successful programs in countries like Greece and Turkey — we can trap, neuter, and release stray cats, ensuring they receive necessary care and access to managed food sources. The community, including club committee members and local businesses, has rallied to provide veterinary services and hands-on support. While an ongoing effort, it has significantly reduced overpopulation. Together, we can create a kinder environment where every creature is treated with respect. Join us today.
Donate your funds or volunteer
At Stand By Me Animal Care, we are fueled by the collective passion and generosity of donors, volunteers, and supporters who share our commitment to animal welfare. Each day, we work to secure the resources necessary to support shelters, sanctuaries, and rescue teams that tirelessly care for animals in need. Every donation—whether it’s a one-time gift that provides essential medical supplies or a monthly contribution that ensures food is always available—makes a tangible difference in the lives of these vulnerable animals.
This mission is not ours alone; it’s a community effort driven by individuals who believe every animal deserves a chance. By joining us, you help sustain the vital services that so many depend on. Together, we can continue this important work—offering hope, compassion, and support to animals in need. We invite all animal lovers to get involved: donate, share our mission, or volunteer your time to help create a brighter future for all.
