The Mdzananda Animal Clinic is hosting its first Picnic for Paws event set to take place in Stellenbosch, and all animal (and picnic) lovers are invited to enjoy a day out for animal well-being.

 

Stellenbosch, South Africa (12 November 2024) — The Mdzananda Animal Clinic team is thrilled to share that they are hosting their first Picnic for Paws event ever, bringing together animal lovers and supporters over good food, better company and gorgeous scenery in Stellies.

Mdzananda is the only veterinary health care service and shelter in the vast Khayelitsha region, where around 300,000 animal companions live. Their work offers a lifeline to pet owners and street animals, offering a myriad of services, from sterilisation efforts to medical care and community education, that help the next generation of animal lovers in Khayelitsha.

Of course, without funds, the Mdzananda team can’t do the work they’re heavily relied on to do. As such, they host different fundraising efforts throughout the year, including the ever-popular ‘Paws on the Promenade’ in Sea Point.

The Picnic for Paws fundraising event hopes to make December a little less worrisome for the team and will provide animal champions with a chance to do some good for Mdzananda in the most chilled way.

Food options boast vegetarian and vegan picnic baskets with an array of treats to choose from whilst getting a chance to unwind in a setting that’s equal parts tranquil and beautiful at the Joostenberg Bistro & Deli.

Tickets are limited, so those interested are encouraged to book their spots early!

As for the proceeds, these will go directly to supporting Mdzananda’s programs; including sterilisation services, life-saving treatments and community education initiatives.

When: Saturday, 7 December from 10 am to 2 pm
