Our ultimate goal is to create a world where every animal has a loving family that cherishes them and treats them with the care and respect they deserve.
ABOUT
WHO ARE WE?
Established 2008, LEAPS is a registered, non-profit animal welfare organisation.
We are dedicated to helping animals in need in the areas of Elands Bay, Lamberts Bay and Vredenburg (220km from Cape Town up the West Coast).
Supporting LEAPS through donations or attending events is a meaningful way to contribute to the organisation's important work and help make a positive impact in the lives of the animals we are dedicated to help.
DONATIONS
As an organization, we rely solely on the generosity of our supporters to carry out our mission. We do not receive any financial support from the South African government, either at the local or central level. Therefore, every single donation we receive, regardless of its size, is crucial to our ability to make a positive impact in the communities we serve.
Whether it's a one-time donation or a recurring contribution, each gift helps us to provide essential services and support to those in need. We are deeply grateful to all of our donors for their kindness and generosity, and we remain committed to using their contributions to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
LAMBERTS BAY FARMER'S MARKET & KIRSTENBOSCH MARKET
We have a stand and adoption days at the Farmers Market at Malkoppan, South of Lamberts Bay, on the last Saturday of every month. We are also at the Kirstenbosch Craft Market every last Sunday of the month from October to May.
LEAPS volunteers are on hand to provide information about the adoption process, and to answer any questions potential adopters may have. This initiative not only helps animals find homes, but it also creates awareness about the importance of animal welfare in the community.
MADIBA DAY: PET FOOD DRIVE
Mandela Day, also known as Madiba Day, is celebrated annually on July 18th in honor of Nelson Mandela's legacy and his commitment to promoting peace, social justice, and equality.
As part of the Madiba Day tradition, LEAPS hosts the Madiba Day Pet Food Drive. This initiative aims to collect and distribute pet food to support the well-being of animals in need. By donating pet food, individuals can make a positive impact on the lives of animals while honoring the values and principles of Nelson Mandela.
PADDLE FOR THE PAW
The Leaps Paddle for the Paw event is an exciting and unique opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy the beauty of nature while supporting a good cause.
The event is suitable for all skill levels, with options for both competitive and non-competitive participants. Overall, the Leaps Paddle for the Paw event is a great way to combine outdoor adventure with philanthropy and make a positive impact.
You will meet wonderful animal lovers in the Western Cape who are deeply dedicated to saving the lives of animals that almost didn't get a chance for a tomorrow.
We have opportunities for you to help as much as your schedule allows in every area of our organisation.
