Sharing the caring.
Our community outreach.

So many pet owners in Hermanus and surrounding areas would like to get the necessary treatment for their beloved pets, but simply cannot afford it. 

Because of this, important procedures like vaccinations and parasite prevention (worms, ticks, fleas) are neglected and this results in animals suffering from serious and often fatal diseases that could have been prevented. 

How does the CVC work? 

The clinic operates from Hermanus Animal Hospital’s private consulting rooms in Hermanus and Onrust. This means our welfare patients have the benefit of receiving help and treatment from the same qualified vets and trained staff who work at our private animal hospital.

Our veterinarians donate their time and services pro bono to this worthy cause, whether it is for important routine treatments and procedures like vaccinations and sterilisations, or the more complicated surgeries and care needed.

We also support and work closely with the other welfare organizations in the area.  

Cost management? As previously noted, our veterinarians donate their time and services. But to operate efficiently, the clinic needs to have the necessary medicines, drugs for sedation, vaccinations, and more in stock. To buy all of this, we rely solely on donations and whatever the client can afford to pay, which is mostly very little or nothing at all. The generosity of our community members has been invaluable in helping us to run the clinic. So too has the hard work that staff members at CVC head offices in Pretoria (under the South African Veterinary Association) put into fund-raising and applying to companies for help.

Unfortunately, there are so many animals in need of our help, that we continuously have to ask for financial support from anyone and everyone who can assist.

If you can support this worthy cause, please contact us to find out how you can help. 

Thank you.
