SPCA Pietermaritzburg

The Soul of Pietermaritzburg: the SPCA. In a city rich with history and heart, the Pietermaritzburg SPCA stands as a sanctuary of compassion. More than just a shelter, it's a place where paws find peace, tails find hope, and every creature is treated with dignity. Here, kindness is not a gesture, it’s a way of life. Volunteers become family, rescues become miracles, and every bark, purr, and chirp is a prayer answered. To walk through its gates is to witness love in action. To support it is to believe in a world where every life, no matter how small or furry, is sacred. If you're ever in Pietermaritzburg, let the SPCA be your first stop. You won’t just meet animals, you’ll meet angels. Adopt. Donate. Volunteer. Be the reason someone wags their tail today. And while you're there, pop into their book shop where Margie will help you find just about any book you're looking for. It's an absolute treasure trove for any reader. Love this space!

Hi I just wanted to say Sandile, was a super star hero. We called 3 other organizations. There was an injured vervet monkey. He came after dark and caught this little fellow. He would have been attacked. Thank you Sandile.

Found some great books at bookshop. Such a reasonable price as well . Will definitely donate my old book to them.

Hi. Good help. Also great book shops for kids and adults. I recommend a visit . Support them.

Assistant who shows the animals for adoption is unfriendly, surly and not helpful. A bad reflection on the branch

Disappointed Experience at the SPCA I must say I'm totally disappointed. This is the second time this has happened to us. We arrived at the SPCA at 3:25 PM, only to be told at reception that they were closed — despite the sign outside clearly stating that closing time is 4:00 PM. My son and I had a car boot full of dog chunks and canned dog food to donate, but sadly, we had to turn away. It was disheartening for both of us. It’s a real loss for the animals in need, and I sincerely hope that management reviews their actual closing times and updates the signage outside accordingly. Clear communication is key, especially when people are trying to support a good cause.

I'm a first time dog owner and the service I received from SPCA was wonderful. I was so anxious about welcoming a new member to my family, they made things so much easier for me.
