The Cape of Good Hope SPCA just got its gold stars!
Cape Town, South Africa (04 March 2026) – The organisation has just been honoured with not one, but two prestigious titles in the LUXlife Pet Products and Services Awards 2026.
The SPCA scoops both Best Animal Welfare Organisation (Cape Town) and Outstanding Animal Protection Excellence awards for the year!
Now in their ninth run, the awards are presented by LUXlife and recognise the most outstanding organisations and individuals in the international pet and animal care sector.
Recipients are selected purely on merit and assessed on demonstrated impact, ethical standards, innovation, governance, and sustained excellence.
Cape of Good Hope SPCA’s two wins at the awards add to a growing list! Four years ago, just weeks before their 150th birthday, they took home the Global Excellence Award.
“This honour belongs to our inspectors who enforce animal protection legislation, our tireless veterinary team, the educators who shift mindsets, and YOU, for your support and generosity that makes our work possible. Thank you so much!” the Cape of Good Hope SPCA shared.
They fight court battles for the voiceless and don’t give up until justice is served. They step in for neglected, abused, injured and abandoned animals with compassion and urgency. They use their platform to inspire real change in the fight against animal cruelty in South Africa.
The Cape of Good Hope SPCA are exemplary of the high standards that so many incredible animal welfare organisations across this country quietly uphold every single day!
