Cactus Foundation

Would you believe we feed over 300 animals every single day at Cactus? It's no small feat. Every dog needs a proper, hearty meal and making sure nobody gets crowded out by the dogs with big appetites and bigger opinions takes real coordination. Our whole team is hands-on for every feeding round, and we're lucky to have five volunteers who show up to help carry this enormous job 💚

🐾 We are always grateful for food donations - if you have any kibble, roller meal or meat offcuts we would be so grateful for your support.

Huge thanks to , who donates chicken to our shelter every single week. It goes into the dogs' food as an excellent source of protein. It goes into the recovery room for the ones who need strengthening up. And it goes in with the tablets, because our dogs have strong opinions about medication but can never resist their chicken!

Supreme Chicken, we owe you. The dogs owe you more 💙

Miley, our distinguished supervisor of playtime, has claimed the black chair in the garden as her office 🐾 From there she watches over the whole yard, paws crossed, very much in charge and we wouldn't dream of asking her to move. She loves running and exploring outdoors, and while she's a little shy with new people at first, she warms up quickly and gets on well with people and other animals alike.

If your home has room for a supervisor, get in touch.

With the cold weather setting in, getting our animal shelters built and repaired before winter really bites has become urgent and we've run short on materials. Gum poles, wood offcuts, compact laminate, cardboard offcuts: anything you've got spare goes straight into dry, warm homes for dogs and cats who'd otherwise be on bare ground through the cold months. Even a small load helps us right now.

Drop-offs welcome at Cactus, Lusaka. Thank you for your support 🙏
