ECO Maping actively supports the following projects:
CatPals is a small volunteer organisation of some 15 years' standing dedicated to helping the feral (street) and other homeless cats of Pretoria and Centurion. We are registered as a non-profit organisation, and we have no permanent source of outside funding. Subject to capacity and funds, we do as much as we can of the following: - Feed as many feral cats as possible in the streets - at present 600-700 per day. - Steriliseor help to sterilise as many feral cats as possible. We have already aided in the sterilisation of around 2 500 cats. - Rescue, raise and home orphaned kittens. (Our adoption scheme includes inoculations, deworming, microchipping and sterilisation.) - Run two sanctuaries for non-adoptable cats, where we house around 80 cats at present.

Wetnose To date we have successfully re-homed over 20 500 dogs, 1 700 cats, donkeys, horses, guinea pigs, pigs and rabbits. In April 2000 we became involved in rescuing animals from Zimbabwe whith great success. To date over 4 800 dogs, 340 cats and almost 50 horses have been rescued. 600 Dogs, 345 cats and a large amount of livestock are presently being cared for at the Wet Nose holding station in Zimbabwe. These animals are all destined for re-uniting or re-homing.
The largest financial layout the Centre has is the feed of all the animals. The animals are fed twice daily and the feeding costs are astronomical. A lot of these animals require medical attention and this amounts to large veterinary expenses. One of our largest responsibilities is to educate public and to prevent unwanted litters. The Wet Nose Animal Rescue Centre is dependent on the animal-loving public for funds, which are raised in numerous ways such as their annual International Homeless Animals Day in conjunction with ISAR and various other fund raising events. Wet Nose receives no Government or municipal funding.
Currently Wet Nose Animal rescue Centre is situated on a plot in the Boschkop area, Lynnwood Road extension, exactly 5.2km from Hans Strydom Drive in the Pretoria East area. Our aim is to be in our very own premises by 2008 and a lot of work needs to be done as well as finances are very needed to assist us with the move into the final permanent resting home of Wet Nose. If anyone can assist us with building materials, fencing, signage, advertising materials and voluntary help it would be greatly appreciated. ONLY YOU CAN HELP STOP THEM FROM BEING BORN INTO THIS WORLD, ONLY TO BE KILLED LATER. A PET IS A LIFELONG RESPONSIBILITY.
