Kamfinsa Veterinary Surgery started off in 1982 as a branch clinic of the Hatfied Veterinary Hospital. Hatfield Veterinary Hospital was started in 1958 by Dr. John Adams and was taken over by Dr. Anthony Donohoe in 1980 when Dr. John Adams returned to UK. Dr. Anthony Donohoe qualified as a veterinarian from Onderstepoort in 1970 and had worked under the guidance of Dr. John Adams for 10 years. H

e had grown up in a veterinary family with his father working in Matabeleland as veterinarian since 1949. In 1983 he married Dr. Helene Meintjes who also qualified from Onderstepoort in 1983. Together they have 6 children of whom, at this stage, one is studying to be a veterinarian. Initially Kamfinsa Veterinary Clinic was situated under the TM Supermarket at the Kamfinsa Shopping Centre where DV 8 restaurant is now). All surgical cases were taken by ambulance to the Hatfield Hospital daily. In 1994 we moved into the house at 20 Court Road as the practice had expanded and we needed more space. The property was surrounded by large pine trees that had to be excavated in order to form what is now the front car park. Since then we have expanded the building and grown the practice into what it is today with 2 consulting areas, a theater, a dental area, X ray room, ultrasound room, kenneling for hospitalisation of animals, as well as an administration area. 2013 saw the first phase of further expansion with the formation of a large hospital and surgical prep room area. The second phase of expansion is imminent including the formation of a new kennel area, cattery, surgical packing area and a larger pet warehouse area for the provision of pet- care products. Since 2012 we have upgraded our equipment to include a new dental scaling machine, a new X- ray unit and a state of the art ultrasound machine. In May 2013 we stated a 24- hour service whereby we have a veterinarian on duty at the practice 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This is essential for the care of hospitalised animals during the night especially those needing critical care. Other than the qualified veterinarians on duty at all times, our staff includes 4 experienced veterinary assistants, 2 helpers, reception staff, administration staff and a fully qualified veterinary nurse. Our aim is to provide the best veterinary service to you and your pets that we are capable of, at all times. To this end our veterinarians continually attend courses and conferences in order to learn the latest techniques and treatments and learn about the latest equipment that is available world wide.

More cats……..

23/08/2024

We have several lovely adult cats up for re-homing. Please see the descriptions below and give us a call or pop in if you decide that one of these lovely cats is for you!

This year’s flown and, overwhelmed by the dogs and the debts their treatment has/is incurring, I’m afraid I’ve totally neglected all of you wonderful, caring people who have encouraged and supported us in so many ways since Adrianne first opened a window on our world with the RAC page.
I know some of you are wondering whether we’re still working with the animals in Caledonia and the rural areas around us, and the answer is an emphatic yes – every day, because I simply cannot bring myself to turn away the desperate cases we see and am absolutely determined to find enough sponsorship to continue taking them into our vets, who’ve been incredibly patient with us, despite the fact that we owe them a fortune
Anyway, herewith my promised update - we'll be posting a belated collage of photos of some of the dogs and cats we’ve taken into town for treatment in the months since I dropped off the edge of the world – be they at the vet, in our little rehab or at their own homes - some of which are as far afield as Ruwa, Goromonzi and Cromlet.
One dog, and one day at a time, I know we’re making a difference in the area around us and, luckily for them, I’m better with animals than words, which are always too many, but never enough!! Having said that, it’s not easy to keep doing what has to be done, this is a battle against suffering that we’re not giving up on and, should any of you know of any embassies, organizations or individuals looking for a worthy community outreach program to support, please would you let us (and them) know!! With our love and thanks, as ever, April

These puppies will be available for viewing at Kamfinsa Vet next week. 5 x ridgeback cross puppies looking for good homes.

11/07/2024

We still have these absolutely fabulous adult cats looking for homes. They are all friendly and will surely keep the rats out of your homes. Please consider offering one of these moggies a loving home.

We have also been carrying out internal renovations and our hospital prep room now has a brand new ceiling with lovey down lights to ensure excellent lighting when working. Again- we apologize for any inconvenience during these renovations but the work space will be vastly improved once the renovations are completed and the changes that will be done to the kennel space will ensure that your pets have a comfortable hospital stay.

We continue to repair the road side outside Kamfinsa Vet in order to make the exit from the hospital safer for everyone. The new drain is being constructed and the edges of the driveway are being put in. There is a new exit gate. The edges of Court road have been repaired and retarred.
The Council have instructed us to remove the flower pots which were placed to prevent the taxi rank that had developed outside the vet. These vehicles were obstructing the view of anyone driving out into Court rd and this had become dangerous especially in the evening.
And so we shall resort to placing rocks along the roadside to prevent vehicles from parking outside the vet just as other residents do along Court rd. Not as attractive as nice flower pots, but we have no option.
We do apologize for any inconvenience caused during these very necessary repairs- hopefully they will be completed in the near future.

09/07/2024

We have 5 lovely ridgeback cross puppies looking for homes. 3 females and 1 male. Ready to go to new homes. Home checks will be carried out. Please call Kamfinsa Vet 0772312896 if you would like to offer one of these lovely puppies a home.

Many thanks

During the COVID pandemic we were forced to abandon the third phase of the renovations to Kamfinsa Vet and it has taken all this time to get back to a point where we can at last continue.
We have started with the surrounds of the hospital building - firstly with some trimming of trees to let more sun onto the property. We have increased the number of our solar panels and upgraded our solar system to ensure a good,continual power supply for the hospital.

We have also started to work on the driveway, the parking area and the outside road area which has become quite dangerous with the edge of the tar in tatters. Often there are taxis that park on the roadside which makes the traffic-light intersection very congested and dangerous. The steep, tattered, road edge will be repaired next week and we will position some large flower pots carefully to control the “ taxi rank” that is developing at the road side. We have already widened the “exit” driveway to ensure that leaving the premises is safer when entering Court Road.
We ask our valued clients to please bear with us during the ongoing renovations and repairs that we are carrying out. Luckily there will be a few, minimal disturbances inside the actual building during these renovations. The bulk of the work is to be carried out in the yard and this phase of renovations will result in a vastly improved facility that will provide a new and exciting veterinary health care experience for you and your pets.

Please watch and share these videos regarding the activities of VAWZ and the up- coming fundraising event that will be held next SUNDAY 11th JUNE at Old Georgians Sports Club from 10 am. Please feel free to share these videos to spread the word about the fund raising event. This will be a great family- fun day with live bands, music, stalls, food and drinks and the fun RESCUE AND RELEASE EVENT where the poor caged animals will at last be released. Our last R&R event held in 2020 allowed us to purchase two new vehicles for VAWZ. This year’s event is aimed at raising money to set up a new regional veterinary education Centre in the rural areas near Hwange. This will allow Veterinary and animal welfare education of regional veterinary students which will give them hands on practical experience as well as training in animal welfare issues which will then be spread to para- veterinary staff such a dip tank attendants etc in the rural areas of Zimbabwe.
