Happy Animal Garden for CLAW Clinic

The amazing team at CLAW (Community Led Animal Welfare) in Johannesburg mentioned that the animal clinic could do with some plants. We partnered up with Healthy Living Herbs to make it happen. Together we are funding a CLAW staff member to attend the Herbs for Animals Workshops in Gauteng. Healthy Living Herbs have also sponsored 100 happy herbs for the clinic garden. The plan is to plant a sustainable and useful  garden in the Spring that’s good for animalsanimal wellbeing. If you would like to get involved in this co-creative project, or similar projects at other sites, let us know.

A Happy Cat Story

We love getting feedback from happy owners with happy cats after trying Happy Cat. Every experience is unique and it’s great learning from each other.If you have a story or pictures you would like to share with others let us know. The photos and owner’s words say it all on this one. :-)

“Hello. Thought I’d share this with you… My cats sleep in our spare room on the bed during the day. I walk in there yesterday, and see the normally nervous cat, chilling in the sun… Later on that that evening, I find this…” See the story on our Blog.


Online Happy Animal Resources

Work has begun on the Happy Animal Resources section of the website. The idea is to provide a community resource for promoting the wellbeing of all animals. It is a work in progress, with the Herbs for Animals section getting attention initially. Take a peek and give us your feedback so we know what is most valued and needed.
