Currently, the organisation has 160 furry friends in its care. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/cheryl5_89696.jpg\" alt=\"Cheryl-Lyn Potgieter with a furry friend relying on CRO for safety and care.\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cheryl-Lyn Potgieter with a furry friend relying on CRO for safety and care.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-sanctuary-under-threat\">A sanctuary under threat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, CRO has grown from a small rescue effort into a full-scale sanctuary, providing a safe haven for animals in recovery, those awaiting adoption, and permanent residents who have nowhere else to go. The farm has become central to its operations \u2014 a place of safety for animals that have often come from traumatic backgrounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But with the property&#8217;s future uncertain, the organisation has been forced to make a difficult decision. &#8220;With a heavy heart, we have to close our doors to new intakes for now,&#8221; said Potgieter. &#8220;Inside these fences are already so many lives depending on us \u2014 and right now, they need us more than ever.&#8221; <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/cheryl2_11459.jpg\" alt=\"Amidst the wagging tails, Cheryl-Lyn Potgieter pauses for a moment with a furry friend.\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Amid the wagging tails, Cheryl-Lyn Potgieter pauses for a moment with a furry friend.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-an-overwhelming-need\">An overwhelming need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The rescue currently cares for an overwhelming number of animals, going through nearly 70kg of dog food every day. Despite the emotional and financial strain, the team remains committed to giving each animal the best possible care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a phone that never stops ringing. Each call is a life that needs saving,&#8221; Potgieter said. &#8220;We&#8217;ve always said yes \u2014 even when it was hard, even when we didn&#8217;t know where the next bag of food would come from.
