The Cluny Animal Trust (IT69/2011) is an independent, non-governmental veterinary welfare organisation formed in February 2011 to serve the needs of animals owned by impoverished residents of the eastern Free State. The aim is to end the needless suffering of animals by treating them and educating their owners.

The trust stems from Dr. Barker’s sterilisation programme established in 2004 and is currently run from her small, private veterinary clinic in Fouriesburg.

WHAT WE DO:

The ongoing care of animals is a major part of our work. This involves sterilization, de-worming, inoculation and preventative measures against ticks and fleas; however, all veterinary work is involved. Dr Barker has dealt with injuries suffered by animals, such as wounds incurred by snares, animal and snake bites, broken bones caused by vehicle accidents, predator attacks etc.

Illnesses such as distemper, parvo virus and biliary have also been encountered amongst the animals of owners too poor or ignorant to provide them with the necessary protection. All owners are given the information that they need to care for their animals properly.

You will find Cluny Animal Trust collection cans in many business premises in the eastern Free State. Your small change is very welcome! Should you be a business owner, you can sponsor our work as a trust. We need help in our fund-raising work and if you have any time to spare, please contact Heather. If you have an idea that could help us to raise funds or in any aspect of our work, we would love to hear from you.
