During a spay day in Swakopmund, this little boy came to the mobile trailer with his cat for her spay operation. Not having a transport box, she was safely secured in a blanket with a plastic bag. Ensuring a cat can't escape in an unfamiliar area is essential. Running away between unknown dogs can have devastating consequences!
When it was the cat's turn to be operated on, the little boy was so worried he couldn't stop crying. After the procedure was explained to him and when he noticed he could stay close to his cat during the whole event, especially during the recovery phase, he was still worried but calmed down.
All went well, and after the final check-up by the vet team, the little boy and his best friend could go back home together. We are sure the bond between these two best friends grew even stronger through this experience!

In Mariental, Dr. Erna planned a small spay day, hoping to pick up a few dogs and cats before lunch.
However, to her surprise, within minutes, over 18 cats and 8 dogs were brought to her car by responsible, caring owners!
The demand for assistance was so overwhelming that she had to regretfully decline more animals as her car had no more space.
By supporting Have a Heart Namibia with a donation, you will become part of the fantastic community caring about the dogs and cats in Mariental!
We received another heartwarming story from Drimiopsis.
Drs. Beukes and their team from Gobabis generously decided to make the trip to Drimiopsis and offered the community Have a Heart Namibia's assistance. Drimiospis is one of the poorest communities in Namibia and medical care is so needed. And wanted! By supporting Have a Heart Namibia with a donation you can make miracles come true.
The response was overwhelming, with over 30 dogs and cats brought to the vet by their caring owners within just 2 hours. It’s clear that there is a tremendous demand for help, and we’re grateful to be making a positive impact in these communities! Hopefully we will be able to return soon!
