The Mdzananda Animal Clinic in Khayelitsha has launched #MyFirstChristmas to encourage members of the public to give a homeless pet some Christmas love.  

The NPO animal clinic and shelter has seen an enormous increase in pets being handed over or abandoned at their clinic leading up to the festive season. These pets will be alone for Christmas and the organisation’s staff aim to make it a bit more joyous for each of them. 

 Kelly Arendse, fundraiser for the organization, joins us on the line
