SA-Animal Cancer Association was established as a need for animals with cancer. As the 4th in the world, SA-Animal Cancer Association will fill the gap for the animals with cancer in Southern Africa. Cancer has always been seen as a human illness, but little does everybody know that animals are diagnosed and die of cancer as humans do. In one study, 45% of the dogs that reached 10 years of age or older died of cancer.
SA-Animal Cancer Association is the first organisation in Africa that will focus on cancer and animals. SA-Animal Cancer Association has 5 main objectives:
- To fund a portion of the studies of 1 student in the veterinary field to further specialise in Animals with Cancer at an institute of our choosing.
- To assist the Onderstepoort Oncology department with monthly resources.
- To assist reputable Animal Shelters with shortfalls.
- To assist rural areas & rural Animal Shelters with sterilisations.
- To educate the public on the 10 Warning Symptoms of Animals with Cancer.
