CVC Clinics
Ikhala CVC
More about the CVC
Ikhala vet clinic’s vision is to eventually be able to provide basic veterinary services to about 8 or 9 small communities which are lying in amongst the numerous private game reserves in our area. We are a mixed clinic with a wildlife component with a strong vision and passion for conservation and one health.
We would like to be able to spend time circulating through the numerous communities, and provide them each with education, sterilizations and basic vet care..
We have so far this year had access to the Seven Fountains community associated with the Laibela game reserve (who have funded most of the consumables) just outside of Grahamstown and the Alicedale community.
We try and create a “constant presence” by spending every Wednesday afternoon in one of the communities.
We are small and limited with funding at this time but have a massive vision and the passion for it. So really pleased to be able to have support from SAVC and other CVC’s doing similar work around the country. We soon hope to find the funding to do more!
Inanlé CVC
More about the CVC
I am a veterinarian that moved from the city to a farm in Limpopo. As a young vet I went out with the mobile CVC clinic and did primary health care for pets under the trees of Hammanskraal. Some of the best hours spent.
My current CVC work focuses on basic animal health care in the rural communities around Tzaneen as well as feral cat sterilization projects. I believe in stable, healthy working feral cats - natural vermin control in exchange for shelter and a certain meal a few times a week.
I am part of the SAVA rabies vaccination team. The destruction of Rabies as a disease by proper vaccinations of vulnerable communities is my passion.
Johannesburg Wildlife Veterinary Hospital
More about the CVC
We are a dedicated wildlife ONLY veterinary hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa. Our aim is to improve the quality of treatment, survival rate and success rate of rehabilitation of small to medium sized indigenous South-African wildlife. We are the first of its kind in Gauteng and our vision is that our hospital will grow to such an extent that it will become a world class facility which will serve as a teaching hospital for veterinary students interested in treating wildlife. We will be working closely with wildlife rehabilitation specialist, Nicci Wright, to ensure all our patients get the best possible care during and after their stay in our hospital.
John Moore CVC
More about the CVC
John Moore Animal Welfare was established in October 2017 by Dr. Helen Moore with the dream of making a positive difference in the lives of the animals in the surrounding, less fortunate communities. John Moore Animal Welfare’s mission is to uplift animal welfare in poor, under resourced and marginalized areas of Robertson, Nkqubela township and surrounding farming communities.
Our main activity is primary veterinary health care: vaccinations, parasite control and sterilisations. We offer a weekly clinic every Wednesday in the low income, coloured community. All animals handed over for sterilisation are vaccinated, given preventative tick and flea treatment, and dewormed as we are dedicated to population control, believing strongly that this is the first step in disease prevention and community upliftment.
We try maintaining a continuous presence within our community and are hoping to expand our clinic to Nkqubela township, just outside Robertson where the need for welfare services is enormous. During our weekly clinic, we also put a lot of emphasis on educating pet owners about basic care of their pets and educating owners about cruelty such as tail docking and why it should never be done.
In addition to our weekly clinic, we hold regular mass sterilization days.
We are passionate about education and hold regular school education visits. Visiting schools and holding educational talks allow us to share our knowledge and passion with the children in order to ensure that they understand the importance of the five freedoms for animals.
We are a small team with a BIG heart and are passionate about improving the lives of the animals in our community.
Anyone who would like more information about our work or would like to donate can email Michelle at johnmooreanimalwelfare1@gmail.com.
Joostenberg CVC
More about the CVC
The Joostenberg CVC is the community clinic of the Joostenberg Animal Clinic. The CVC is run from the Joostenberg clinic premises doing sterilisations, consultations and Primary Healthcare for multiple welfare organizations (about 28) mostly in the City of Cape Town. We average about 180 steris per month. Our outreaches occur mostly in the Wesbank Township and the Koo Valley farming area where we concentrate on Steris and encouraging responsible pet ownership. We also work very closely with an organization focussing on cat population control and trapping of feral cats.
One of our staff members runs a charity shop from home on Saturday mornings to subsidize some of the organizations costs. We believe in teamwork.
With the rise in living expenses we also try to offer treatments, dental work and minor surgeries at a lower cost to the surrounding indigent community. Our contact number is 072 432 7525
