Animal “hoarding” can be identified when a person is housing more animals than they can adequately and appropriately care for. It is a complex issue that often encompasses mental health, animal welfare and public safety concerns. Animal hoarding is defined by an inability to provide even minimal standards of nutrition, sanitation, shelter and veterinary care—often resulting in over-breeding of animals, animal starvation, illness and even death. In some cases, guardians believe they are helping their animals and deny this inability to provide minimum care. Nawa! Pets aims to tackle this issue and attend to animal needs as promptly and efficiently as possible, with the assistance of the Oranjemund Community and Stakeholders, we will make sure that our animals are loved unconditionally.
