Company Details

Furkidz is a registered non-profit organisation with the mission to help South Africa's thousands of shelter animals.

Our website www.Furkidz.co.za provides an easily searchable, comprehensive database of rescue pets available for adoption.

We visit each shelter, take pictures of their cats and dogs, film short video clips, write pet profiles, upload the information and monitor the adoption progress.

Regular newsletters are sent out, pet related articles written and FurKidz hosts and supports fundraising events and adoption days.
