CVC Clinics
Funda Nenja CVC
More about the CVC
Funda Nenja is rolling out a brand-new Veterinary Outreach Programme, which will be run separately from all the other Funda Nenja activities. Our aim is to reach as many rural dogs and cats as possible. We plan to do weekly clinics in the more rural areas, that currently have little to no access to animal welfare and veterinary care. Our experienced veterinarians, Dr Daniela Hughes and Dr Lee Pachonick will be running these clinics, together with 1 or 2 assistants. The team will be focussing on a different area each week and we are sure, that after 1 or 2 clinics in each area, the communities will soon hear about the services that we are offering. The vets will be doing rabies vaccinations, 5 in 1 vaccinations, treating for ticks & fleas, deworming and doing monthly sterilisations. Dr Lee is a registered mobile veterinarian and already has her own mobile clinic vehicle, which they will be using at these outreach clinics.

Hammanskraal CVC
More about the CVC
The Hammanskraal Steri Project was created to address the overwhelming need for dog and cat sterilizations in the greater Hammanskraal community, spanning a large area from Tshwane (Gauteng) to Moretele (North-West) municipalities.
The current veterinary services in the area cannot meet the demand. This vital service has become unavailable to many, resulting in exponential growth of pet populations in the area. Multiple requests for pet sterilisations are received from residents as they battle with the financial implications of rearing litters of puppies and kittens and see the negative impact of constant pregnancies on their pets.
The project was launched with assistance from clinicians and hospital sisters from the Onderstepoort Veterinary Academic Hospital (OVAH). Veterinary and veterinary nursing students generously volunteer their time at the clinic to ensure that both pets and people in the community receive the help they need.
HAWS CVC
More about the CVC
The HAWS CVC provides vet care to members of our community at an affordable rate in the hopes of preventing unnecessary suffering of pets due to financial constraints of owners. The focus of our clinic team (Dr Kate Tucker, Nurse LeeAnn Levey and clinic support Ilka & Terry) are sterilizations to further support our welfare efforts of reducing the number of unwanted litters. Education to promote preventative care such vaccinations and parasite control.
Responsible pet ownership is promoted and services are paid for at reduced rates. Education to owners about the dangers of self medicating from social media tips and folklore is also very important and we believe by providing affordable vet care we prevent the needless suffering of so many animals affected by this whether well intentioned or not. Most of what we treat is preventable with basic care such as tick borne diseases, skin conditions from parasites and digestive and bladder problems from incorrect feeding. Education is key and helping people offers us the opportunity to change the way owners take care of their animals.
Hoedspruit CVC
More about the CVC
Hoedspruit CVC is based in Hoedspruit, Limpopo and services four local communities (Ga-Moraba, Tswenyane, Lepelle and The Willows) in the area. Our goals are to improve animal health and living conditions, prevent and alleviate suffering of domestic animals, encourage and assist in spaying and neutering of pets and to provide education about their animals to the individuals in the community. Being in an area with multiple nature reserves and a strong emphasis on wildlife and conservation, an additional goal is to help save South Africa’s wildlife by preventing diseases such as Rabies and Distemper from being transmitted to wild populations from domestic animals.
