CVC Clinics
Humansdorp CVC
More about the CVC
We serve the Humansdorp area, covering Jeffrey’s Bay, Gamtoos area, Thornhill, Loerie, Patensie/Hankey, Cape St Francis and St Francis Bay, up to Eersteriivier/Kareedouw and into the Tsitsikamma. The bulk of our work is large animal dairy work, but we also have a full-time vet dedicated to small animal practice.
Our practice borders on Arcadia and Kruisfontein. We serve this coloured community and charge reduced rates for vaccinations and basic treatments. Kwanomzane township is also within walking distance of our practice, and we offer reduced rates to these clients too.
The welfare needs in the area are great. We provide a service to the SPCA and to St Francis Animal rescue. The ‘catchment’ area for the SPCA is large, so dogs are collected from the entire Kouga region, including Thornhill, Loerie, Haney and up to Joubertina.
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 from a small clinic that is situated in Doringkloof Centurion. The clinic have been part of our community for 19 years. 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.
We work mainly with small animals, the odd critter and some birds.
My clinic is working with a local charity ( Thaba Thswane Dogs ) as well to help with basic health care and mainly sterilizations.
We also do a lot of work with feral cats. I have a soft spot for cats and feral cats as I believe that they always have the last spot in the queue. I believe in stable, healthy working feral cats- natural vermin control in exchange for a warm bed and a certain meal a few times a week.
The clinic has been helping Sava-CVC for a while now with 2-3 free sterilizations a month. We would love to help more.
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.
