A recent media experience at the Woodrock Cat Café in Kyalami highlighted the powerful bond between people and animals; from yoga with rescue dogs to meeting adoptable cats. The event showcased the ongoing partnership between our 1st for Women Insurance brand and Woodrock Animal Rescue, focused on creating lasting impact through monthly funding, infrastructure support, adoption initiatives and sterilisation programmes.
Together, they have helped sterilise more than 1,500 animals, contributing to the humane reduction of stray populations. Beyond rescue efforts, the partnership promotes emotional wellbeing by encouraging adoption and creating meaningful connections between people and pets. As Seugnette van Wyngaard, Executive Head of 1st for Women Insurance, explains: “We believe caring for animals is caring for our communities.” A powerful reminder that real change comes from showing up consistently, for rescue, recovery and second chances.
