The KAWS Charity Shop raises funds for Knysna Animal Welfare by selling pre-loved clothes, books, furniture, accessories, and more. Support us by shopping or donating items from your cupboards — every contribution helps care for the animals in our shelter.


We are committed to ensuring the well-being of animals in need, and we invite you to become part of this mission by joining our community of monthly donors. Our goal is to reach 3,500 Club 101 donors who contribute monthly to help us meet our growing overheads and continue to provide care and protection to the animals in our care.

As a Club 101 donor, you will be an essential part of the change. Your monthly contribution will directly help save lives, provide medical care, ensure that more animals are sheltered, and reduce suƯering caused by cruelty and neglect. Together, we can create a future where every animal has a chance at a better life. Join Club 101 today and help us make that dream a reality.

KAWS would love any tins or bags of any pet food, dog biscuits, cat food and treats that you might want to send our way.  Pet food  can always be used and will be gratefully received. We have collection bins at Super Spar and Pet and Pool, so please consider popping an extra tin or two into your shopping basket so you can add it to the KAWS collection bin on your way out.

An easy and effortless way to support KAWS is by using a MySchool Card. Simply make Knysna Animal Welfare (10845) your chosen beneficiary, and every time you swipe your card, a donation is made to KAWS at no extra cost to you.

You can get your free MySchool Card by completing the application form at our KAWS Shop, downloading the MySchool App for a virtual card, applying online at myschool.co.za, SMSing “sign up” to 31231, or calling 0860 100 445.
