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
SteriVet
More about the CVC
At Sterivet, we believe that healthy animals lead to healthy communities. Our core mission is to promote the One Health concept sustainably within South Africa's socio-economic context. We don't just treat symptoms; we address root causes through:
• High-Impact Sterilisation: Our cornerstone strategy. We aim for a 70% sterilisation rate in specific geographic areas during a single breeding cycle to effectively manage pet populations.
• Preventative Care: Sustained vaccinations and parasite control.
• Education as Empowerment: We believe a physical presence in communities builds trust. By educating pet owners and providing income-generating opportunities in animal care, we foster long-term, positive change.
Sterivet provides the clinical expertise and equipment, while the partnering welfare organization and their network of dedicated fieldworkers, coordinators, and donors provide the bridge to the communities that need us most.

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.
