Every cat parent knows the power of small, consistent actions: a gentle headbutt, a rhythmic purr, or the soft pat of a paw. On their own, they seem small, but together, they make up the heart of our homes.
The same principle applies to saving lives across the Western Cape.
One person donating R50 a month is wonderful. But hundreds of local cat lovers giving R50 every month on a recurring basis? That builds a permanent safety net for hundreds of rescued, homeless, and feral cats.
That is the heart behind the Woof & Whiskers Club by TEARS Animal Rescue and joining couldn’t be easier or more rewarding!
What is the Woof & Whiskers Club?
The Woof & Whiskers Club is TEARS’ flagship monthly giving initiative. The concept is straightforward: commit to a modest R50 monthly debit order and join a growing Cape Town community funding the daily rescue, treatment, and rehoming of vulnerable animals.
As cat lovers, we know the sheer scale of feline welfare needs across the Peninsula. As individuals, our reach has limits. United through TEARS, our impact multiplies.
Bonus: Cash Prizes Every Single Month!
To show their appreciation, TEARS has built a fun prize draw directly into the club:
- 7 Chances to Win Monthly: Every R50 ticket enters you into the monthly cash draw.
- Top Prizes Up to R10,000: When fully subscribed (capped at just 2,000 tickets total), payouts include:
- 1x First Prize of R10,000
- 2x Second Prizes of R3,000
- 4x Third Prizes of R1,000
- Note: Until the club hits full capacity, cash prizes pay out as a percentage of these amounts.
Want to double your impact and boost your chances of winning? You can hold multiple monthly tickets or purchase a full year upfront (e.g., R600 for 12 tickets).
Important Dates: Draws take place in the first week of every month, capped off by a special Bonus Draw on 18 December 2026.
Where Your R50 Actually Goes
Your monthly ticket isn’t just an entry into a prize draw—it’s direct, tangible help on the ground for animals in need:
- The Community Cat Project: A vital Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program managing feral cat colonies across the Western Cape with dignity, healthcare, and compassion.
- Mass Spay & Neuter Outreach: Preventing unwanted litters and curbing homeless pet populations right at the source.
- Mobile Clinics & Veterinary Care: Bringing essential medical treatments directly into under-resourced communities.
- Shelter & Rehabilitation: Caring for up to 200 companion animals at any given time while they await their forever homes.
Why Monthly Giving Means Everything
A single, once-off donation is always appreciated, but recurring monthly support creates stability.
It allows TEARS to budget for emergency surgeries, stock life-saving vaccines, and keep TNR teams out in the field treating feral colonies week after week—without having to wait and see what donations might trickle in.
Joining costs less than a single takeaway coffee run for you and a friend. We’d never suggest skipping your morning caffeine fix, but redirecting just R50 a month gives Cape Town’s community cats safer streets, medical care, and the fighting chance they deserve.
