Who we are
Aid4Aid is a volunteer-run animal rescue in Cape Town’s southern suburbs. We take in injured, abandoned and stray animals, get them well and find them permanent homes — and we run mass sterilisation days in Lavender Hill and Cafda so there are fewer needing rescue next year.

Ace
Ace… what words could possibly describe this boy? He’s affectionate, cuddly, adventurous and lazy, all rolled up into one big, good-looking boy — a real character who oozes confidence and is often found at the community book sale. Although he currently lives with other cats, he can be quite strong and playful, so he’d be best suited to a home where he’s the only cat. He’s not suited to a flat or apartment. Ace is over 2.5 years old and has been waiting for his forever home since he was just 8 weeks old.

Benson
Benson has been in foster care for 7 years, and in that time he’s done so well and come so very far. He adores people, adults and kids alike, and is happiest when he’s around them. Unfortunately, Benson was never properly leash socialised as a pup, so he can be leash reactive — purely out of fear and anxiety — but once he gets to know a dog and realises they’re not a threat, he’ll happily walk alongside them without issue. He’s great with puppies and has fostered alongside many over the years. It is high time that someone opened their heart and home to this misunderstood, constantly overlooked boy. Please give Benson a chance — he’s more than earned it.

Blake
Blake was originally rehomed by Aid4Aid when he was just a young pup. He grew up with his family, but sadly, his owners have now immigrated and were unable to take him with them. Through absolutely no fault of his own, this beautiful boy has found himself needing a new home.

Blue
Blue, the handsomest boy! A real character, he loves a cuddle (while suckling on his paws). He is highly social and needs to be homed with other cat siblings, as he’s very playful, talkative and food driven. He’s brought such joyful energy to his foster home and has even brought out the playful side of the resident adult cats. Blue has been waiting a few months now to be chosen by a family.

Rescued while she was pregnant, Cali gave birth to 6 beautiful kittens and was the best mom a kitten could ever have dreamt of. All but one of her kittens have now grown up and found homes, but Cali is still in foster care wondering when it will be her turn to find her forever home.

Dolores
Dolores is a young, happy teenage pup who is still learning her way in the world. She can be a little fearful of new people at first, but once she loves you, she loves you with all she has. She is great with cats and will happily both play with them and cuddle up with them. She goes to daycare twice a week, which has helped her confidence with other dogs grow exponentially. She also walks most nights with a big group of dogs in Tokai forest, where she’s best friends with all the dogs and their people — this has further boosted her confidence and helped develop her recall. Dolores will make an excellent addition to a family willing to give her the time she needs to settle in.

You don’t need to adopt to save a life.
Foster an animal
Please help us say yes.
Every rescue starts with one word: yes — and without enough foster homes, we have to say we can't. We cover all food and all veterinary care; you bring the home. Fostering costs you nothing.
Foster
Your donation saves lives
Help us rescue homeless and unwanted animals. Every donation pays a vet bill, fills a food bowl or funds a sterilisation day.
Together, we give them a second chance.
