Vetnews | Mei 2024 26 « BACK TO CONTENTS Kariega Foundation and Domestic Animal Care - Kenton on Sea together with Community Veterinary Services Southern Africa held another successful mass sterilisation outreach in Ekuphumleni sterilising 56 dogs. Last year October they also sterilised 54 dogs. With the township of Marselle now 97% sterilised they are focussed on Ekuphumleni and making steady progress. Domestic Animal Care - Kenton On Sea ( DAC) sterilises 24 community dogs plus cats every month at Kariega Community Veterinary Clinic- Kenton (KCVC). They also have all their sick and injured community dogs and cats attended to by the very compassionate and caring vets at KCVC. Domestic Animal Care - Kenton is not a registered NPO so all donations are paid directly to the KCVC account. DAC is a small group of volunteers that transport the dogs and cats to and from KCVC and try as best they can to see to the welfare needs of their community dogs and cats. The dogs are all vaccinated 5 in 1 and rabies when they are sterilised. Cats also receive rabies vaccinations. Mange, parvo virus and distemper are now seldom seen in these townships. Dr Marette Dreyer has done outreaches in Marselle to do rabies vaccinations and Vets Go Wild under the direction of Dr William Fowlds and Ikhala Veterinary Clinic hold at least 3 -4 outreaches yearly in the surrounding townships and Alexandria to give rabies vaccinations and deworm tablets. v An initiative of the SOUTH AFRICAN VETERINARY ASSOCIATION Non-profit Company: 1998/016654/08 Non-profit Organisation: 000-234 NPO Public Benefit Organisation: 130001321 CVC News I CVC Nuus Kariega Foundation and Domestic Animal Care: Mass Sterilisation Outreach written by Verona Veltman from Kariega Vet CVC
