About Cluny Animal Trust
The Cluny Animal Trust (CAT) is a non-profit veterinary welfare organisation that was established in 2011 to serve the needs of animals owned by impoverished residents of the eastern Free State and further afield.
CAT stems from Dr Katherine Barker’s (founder of CAT, who emmigrated to New Zealand) sterilisation programme established in 2004 and it is currently run from our small veterinary clinics in Fouriesburg and Clarens.
The Challenge
The sad reality is that there is a growing number of animals who receive little or no veterinary care and/or are victims of neglect, abuse, poor living conditions, lack of socialisation, dog-fighting or other forms of animal cruelty. The poor economic climate in the eastern Free State remains a barrier and significantly affects the ability of many pet owners to properly care for their animals.
