If you’ve visited us recently, you’ll have seen the wonderful changes that have taken place to keep attracting our loyal supporters, friends, and members of the Kloof and Highway community to keep supporting our valuable generation of income.
Many charities depend heavily on the success of their thrift shops to keep going. And this is evident in the increase in number of thrift shops in our area.
If you haven’t visited us recently, please come and see the changes for yourself, and enjoy your SPCA’s hospitality as well as a shopping opportunity.
The very popular Fine Feathers shop has been re-opened which specialises in good quality ladies clothing. Now back in the original building with funky décor and a lovely vibe, Fine Feathers is well worth a browse.
The Hidden Treasures tent has been closed to make more space in the tea garden for the public to enjoy our beautiful venue. The remaining tent is Ella Bella where you’ll still find clothes, bric-a-brac, and many other unexpected gems.
Two rooms have also been opened in the Tea Garden house – one for Christmas in July, and the second one is a bridal room full of beautiful, donated wedding dresses.
The Tuck Shop in the Village Green is now open again as a Spaza shop to cater for foot traffic. Here you can buy vetkoek, popcorn, chips and sweets, samosas, cold drinks, samp and beans and many other delicious meals.
Finally, 1 July saw the opening of our new thrift shop next to our Reading Rooster book shop at the Mushroom Farm in Kassier Road. Here, visitors to the Mushroom Farm will also find clothing, antiques and collectables, art and even some jewellery. Donations are accepted at the shop and we also hope that this will prove to be an extra convenient location for some of our supporters.
You’ll receive a warm welcome when you visit any of your Kloof and Highway SPCA locations. Do come – and bring your family and friends.

It’s well known that surprising and hidden treasures are often discovered in charity shops.
Our wide range of shop categories gives you an even greater chance of finding that missing side plate of a particular design; the vinyl disc that is back in fashion; a necklace like the one that grandma used to wear; fashion items, craft supplies, and so much more.
Check the list below to find the category that you’re looking for:
All the above are open from Tuesday to Saturday and public holidays unless a religious day. 8.00 am until 3.00 pm
Off the property you’ll find:
We hope to welcome you to one of our shops really soon, and to celebrate that special find with you.
Anyone can call in to their SPCA and report animal cruelty and abuse. Here are the steps that are followed:
Your awareness, your action and your donations count in stopping animal cruelty. Use your right to speak and act for the animals who can’t defend themselves. And perhaps you might even like to make a contribution towards our work by clicking here now.
As someone who cares about animals, and gives towards their welfare, have you ever thought about extending your care into the future?
Leaving a bequest in your Will to the Kloof and Highway SPCA is a gift that costs you nothing now. It’s also one that can be changed at any time.
The purpose of any Will is to ensure that our family and other loved ones are taken care of when we are no longer present to do so. But sometimes there’s also the opportunity to include a charitable cause that’s close to our heart.
A Will is also a very personal document, with its contents being kept confidential. But if the Kloof and Highway SPCA is already a beneficiary in your Will, or you’re considering it, might you be willing to tell us, so that we can thank you appropriately? Thank you.
So much in life can be taken for granted – like the Kloof & Highway SPCA branch always being there for the care of animals in our area.
But reality is harsh. With no Government funding, and animal welfare being low on the official priority list, we depend on the generosity of our friends and supporters to keep our doors open each month.
The Village Green is a big part of this generosity, bringing in half of our financial needs each month. So, donations to keep our various shops running are more important than ever in these difficult times. Donations in kind, and support from shoppers are both vital to our continued existence.
Most households have items they no longer use . . . books long read, outgrown children’s toys, good quality clothing that no longer fits or is out of fashion, even furniture and appliances that still work can have a second life. And all these are so appreciated by shoppers on a limited budget, making it a win/win outcome.
Please support our thrift shops in any way that you can, so that the animals can continue to receive the care they deserve.
