CVC Clinics
Siya Ncedisa CVC
More about the CVC
Siya Ncedisa CVC is focused on helping pets in The Buffalo City Metropolitan area. With the closure of both the East London SPCA clinic and The King William’s Town SPCA clinic, there is limited access to primary veterinary health care for the lower income residents of BCM. Siya Ncedisa CVC is focused on sterilization and vaccination (particularly rabies vaccination as there is a severe rabies outbreak in the metropole). Dr. Nicky Webb is the principal, and she is assisted by Ms. Ziyanda Ondala

The Big and Small Animal CVC
More about the CVC
This CVC is based in Rispark, South of Johannesburg and is operated by Dr Caryn Rademeyer
The Big: working with local equine welfare organisations, a comprehensive equine veterinary service is rendered to the hard working township horses and donkeys. A wide variety of cases are seen and treated such as: harness wounds, abscesses, plastic ingested colics, potato skin poisoning and traumatic wounds often as a result of being hit by a car. Donkey gelding outreach clinics are regularly done in far outlying rural regions where there is no veterinary assistance to the local communities.
The Small: assisting two different local organisations with weekly outreach sterilisation days, many owners are able to get their pet sterilised. A much needed and appreciated dental clinic has also been added to the outreach services.
Education days: regular, practical equine orientated education days are run at the local welfare organisations.
Day courses offered:
● Owner Equine First Aid course;
● UNISA Animal Welfare Assistant practical equine course;
● High School Equine Value Added days – for scholars wishing to apply to Onderstepoort
● Final Year Equine Welfare practical day – for fourth and final year vet students to get practical hands on exposure to equine welfare work.

Wandervet CVC
More about the CVC
As a veterinarian, who has always been invested in welfare work - I am always hit hard by the devastating effects that poverty and lack of access to veterinary care and education can have on animals.
In travelling to many less developed areas in the world, not only in SA, I have been witness to many animals suffering from malnutrition, disease, parasitic infestations and neglect.
I still strongly believe that it is our calling to improve lives of animals in need, even wider spread than our direct contact areas in South Africa.
The focus of Project WanderVET is on providing primary veterinary healthcare to animals in less developed areas all over the world, and educating the people about the importance of animal welfare as well as promoting responsible pet ownership.
In collaborating with existing welfare organisations in areas of need, we can make a real difference in the lives of animals, on the long run, on every continent, in every language, and in every culture.
