Info for Mdzananda Animal Clinic Service Type Animal Welfare Organisation or Animal Shelter Brief description of service Welcome to the world of the Mdzananda Animal Clinic - the only permanent, veterinary council registered animal clinic in Khayelitsha, a township area just outside Cape Town, South Africa, estimated to be home to more than a million people. Highly respected and supported by the people they serve, Mdzananda Animal Clinic was founded in 1996 in response to the need to provide veterinary care to a fast growing community that had no access to help for their animals. Today the clinic provides primary veterinary healthcare services such as sterilization, dipping, deworming and vaccination. They also provide consultations, surgery, hospitalization, x-rays and care for sick and injured animals, primarily dogs and cats. Apart from the permanent clinic, mobile clinics run each weekday afternoon in order to serve areas too far from the clinic for owners to transport their pets. It is often of the opinion that people in townships should not own pets. We have a different opinion. Anyone who visits Mdzananda has the pleasure of meeting owners who adore their animals and are proud to be giving them the care they deserve. Even though our main focus is on giving care for animals, we are very committed to effectively making a change in the lives of community members. We have a strong focus on community empowerment and education to ensure responsible pet ownership. We focus on understanding the community’s needs, embracing this, gaining their respect and trust. In this way we can effectively make a difference in the lives of the people as well as their animals. Over the past 16 years Mdzananda has grown massively – from a little container only running on weekends to a fully functioning multi container and fixed structure clinic operating 5.5 days a week. It is a clinic filled with happiness and is often referred to as “My Happy Place” by supporters and clients of the clinic.
