Sponsor a Cat – Soentjies – Our Softest Heart
To sponsor a cat at our sanctuary means providing food, medical care, and a safe, loving environment for cats in need. These cats are not for sale or adoption; they are permanent residents with unique needs and stories. Your sponsorship helps us continue our mission to rescue and care for cats who have nowhere else to turn. Make a difference today and give a cat the second chance they deserve!
Soentjies’ Story: A Gentle Healer
Soentjies’ journey to our sanctuary began with his sister, Mammies, who appeared out of nowhere one evening asking for food. The next night, she returned with her two wild brothers. By the following day, she brought her babies, Seuntjie and Ogies, to safety. Tragically, one of the brothers was lost to a jackal that night, but Mammies, Soentjies, and the babies found refuge with us soon after.
The story of Soentjies’ name is as unique as he is. On the day he moved in, we drew a card from a oracle card deck, and it was the Kitsune card. The card foretold the arrival of a red-haired person or animal who would guide us in understanding trust. Inspired by this, Kitsune became Suni, and finally, Soentjies—meaning “kisses” in Afrikaans.
Why Sponsor Soentjies?
Though still shy, Soentjies is the sanctuary’s heart of gold. He welcomes every new addition with open arms, offering love and acceptance without hesitation. His gentle and nurturing nature has helped some of the most traumatized animals heal and feel at home. Sponsoring Soentjies supports his continued care and honors his role as the sanctuary’s quiet, compassionate healer.
