Community in Action for Animals in Gansbaai

On 11 December, something truly special happened in Gansbaai. Volunteers, animal welfare organisations, businesses and community members came together with one shared purpose: to improve the lives of animals who need us most.

This initiative marked one of the first projects under Community Animal Action (CAA), founded by Adele Kokt, Dee Henderson and Sheryll Steyn, and showed just how powerful collaboration, compassion and teamwork can be.

From staff from Country Animal Clinic and EberVet Vetshops to volunteers from Gansbaai, Stanford, and CAA caring for animals during recovery, every role mattered.

A heartfelt thank you to the EberVet Vetshop volunteers from Station Mall and Vetshop Onrus, who supported post-operative care with flea and tick treatments and organised donation drives that made a meaningful difference on the day. We’re also grateful to the Hermanus-based EberVet Vetshops for pooling their efforts in support of spaying animals in Gansbaai.

This initiative was strengthened by the generosity of EMS Foundation, FirstRand Volunteers, local businesses, individuals, and the support of Overstrand Law Enforcement.

Because of this collective effort, animals received essential care and a foundation was laid for future CAA projects.

The next Community Animal Action initiative is planned for February, and we can’t wait to continue this journey together.

Thank you to everyone who showed up with open hands and open hearts.

Successful Sterilisation Clinic with KAPS!

We're so thrilled to share the success of our recent sterilisation clinic held on October 8th & 9th in Zoar (close to Ladismith)!

A massive thank you to our incredible team and the widely respected leader of KAPS (Karoo Animal Protection Society), Colette Teale!

Pawsitive Impact
52 animals were sterilised at this clinic!

Sterilisation is a vital procedure that helps to keep the pet population and neglect under control in the community.

This marks our 17th year of working alongside KAPS, and we continue to be inspired by the positive impact Colette and her team are making, often without help from the municipalities they serve.

Behind the Scenes
It takes a truly fanatical love for animals to do this work!

We captured a few special moments from the weekend:

Assistant Jackie and Sr. Hilda Mills preparing a patient for their operation.

Colette Teale always providing that little extra TLC and essential post-op cuddles for patients who need it most.

A rare moment for a break with tea and a cuddle for Sr. Hilda Mills and Colette Teale.

We'll be back in November to sterilise another 50 animals!

Thank you to everyone who supports this essential work!

Heritage Day in Our Community

Today, while South Africans came together to celebrate our heritage, our EberVet team spent the day giving back to the community we love. Through our Heritage Day Spay Day, we were able to help local pets live healthier lives and bring a little hope to their families.

Heritage Day is about celebrating who we are and at EberVet, that means standing together, caring for one another, and protecting the animals that are part of our homes and communities.

Thank you to everyone who supported today. This is the spirit of Ubuntu in action.

Spay Day Success in Sir Lowry’s

This past weekend, our EberVet Community Vet Clinic partnered with PETS in Sir Lowry’s for a very successful Spay Day.

In just one day, we were able to sterilise 34 animals, 19 dogs and 15 cats, helping to reduce unwanted litters and improve the health and wellbeing of pets in the community.

This incredible achievement was made possible by our dedicated CVC team: Dr Bennie, René and Eileen. With only one vet on site, this result is truly commendable.

We are proud of our team and thankful to PETS for their ongoing commitment to animal welfare.

Celebrating Women’s Day by Giving Back

While many were enjoying their Saturday, an incredible group of women (and a few great men!) spent their Women’s Day in Eersterivier making a real difference.

From the early hours of the morning, our team, together with local volunteers, worked tirelessly to sterilise 50 animals, giving them a healthier, happier future and helping to prevent unwanted litters in the community.

It wasn’t just about the surgeries, it was about compassion, teamwork and showing up for those who cannot speak for themselves.

A heartfelt thank you to every single person involved, from the vets to the drivers, the support crew and the amazing community members who made the day possible. You have truly shown what it means to uplift and care for one another.

This Women’s Day, we celebrated the best of our community spirit and the paw prints left on our hearts will last far beyond today.

Making a Difference in Nieu-Bethesda

Dr. Beer recounts their time in Nieu-Bethesda, "Recently, our team joined hands with Nieu-Bethesda Animal Welfare & Nieu-Bethesda Horse Welfare Initiative to bring much-needed veterinary care to this small, dedicated community.

"Over two incredible days Dr Bennie Grobler treated 12 horses, including performing life-changing procedures and treating conditions like an eye ulcer (as seen in the photo). The following day, Dr Bennie and our team sterilised 36 dogs and cats, helping to curb the cycle of unwanted litters.

"This vital work wouldn’t have been possible without the one-woman miracle worker Victoria Nance, who tirelessly ensures sterilisations happen regularly in Nieu-Bethesda."

A big thank you also goes out to Mandy Roets (all the way from Kirkwood; Mandy also took a number of the photos) for supporting Victoria with horse food and her unwavering dedication to the equine work.

The group would also like to say a heartfelt thank you to those who supported the EberVet team with meals, accommodation, and a venue for the horse geldings:
Mandy Roets for everything plus the photos she took;
Carla Smit of The Bethesda;
Elbie from The Village Inn;
Anne Graaf and
Katrin Alleman

Though Nieu-Bethesda is 730km from Somerset West, its spirit of compassion and goodwill toward animals keeps us coming back when needed.

We know the challenges small towns face and sadly, animals often become innocent victims. But thanks to people like Victoria and the entire NB community, hope shines bright.

EberVet Community Veterinary Care will always be there to help.

02/07/2025

Over the last two days EberVet Academy trained Greyton Animal Welfare's field workers on 70 medical conditions they are likely to see in the community affecting their animals.

Sr Hilda Mills conducted the training and worked her way slowly through all the conditions. We are hoping the training will equip the team to identify medical conditions they can treat themselves and which ones needs the attention of a veterinarian.

The students are keen to learn and we are hoping to support them in their efforts to keep the animals of Greyton and the surrounding areas healthy and happy.

Thanks to Anne-Marie du Plessis and Nicky Lourens for organising the event.

Greyton Pet Sterilisation Day: 54 Lives Changed for the better!

Despite the icy weather, our incredible CVC team, GAWS, and volunteers sterilised 54 pets, 31 dogs and 23 cats, on 12 June in Greyton. That was 14 more than planned!

We also vaccinated 44 pets for prevention of rabies and treated every single pet for ticks and fleas too.

We'd like to say a massive thank you to:
Dr. Bennie Grobler & Renee from EVPC;
Leon Perold (Greyton Animal Welfare Society);
Co-sponsor Kim Crosby;
and Eileen van der Watt.

Together, we’re so close to our goal of sterilising 80 pets in the community — with more outreach days to come. ❤️

EberVet Community Veterinary Care (CVC) sterilises dogs and cats at no cost to impoverished pet owners in areas where veterinary services are hard to come by. We travel thousands of kilometres each year to reach animals in small towns, rural villages and informal settlements. We rely on donations to fund anaesthetics and medication.
