“You cannot do a kindness too soon, because you don’t know how soon it will be too late.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fisantekraal Animal Welfare (FAW) is a community-based, non-profit organisation (NPO) working with the animals of Fisantekraal, Morning Star, and farms surrounding Durbanville.
Our mission is to sterilise and vaccinate the animals, treat them if they’re sick or injured, and rehome when necessary. We aim to educate and assist the people of the area, empowering them to look after their pets as well as they can.
Many hands make light work! Please visit our How to help page to find out how YOU can help.
Every little thing really does make a difference.

WHAT DO WE DO?
Fisantekraal Animal Welfare operates from shipping containers in Fisantekraal itself. We’re entirely staffed by unpaid volunteers, and are open on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 09h00 – 12h00.
We help and advise residents with sick or injured animals, sell subsidised food, bath and dip dogs, vaccinate (monthly), and organise sterilisations. We also run an informal shop, selling donated items to the people of Fisantekraal to raise funds.
Visit About us to find out more about what we do.
Strays: Unfortunately, we don’t have kennels or the means to collect stray animals. Please contact one of the nearest animal welfare organisations (Uitsig Animal Rescue, AACL, etc.) – click here for contacts.
Tygerberg Animal Hospital very generously donates 8 sterilisations, and Durbanville Animal Hospital donates 2 every week. Thank you!
