Our services include excellent veterinary care at our premises in Grassy Park and a fleet of four Mobile Clinics that serve indigent communities in the Cape Metropole.
Staffed by three vets and a team of animal welfare assistants and orderlies, our Animal Hospital based in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town provides excellent medical treatment for sick and injured animals. Many of these are animals brought to the SPCA by our Inspectors or by owners who are unable to afford a private vet.
Sadly, we are seeing an increase in the number of people qualifying for special SPCA hospital rates, as pet owners struggle to make ends meet. Often their animals are the only source of comfort in times of hardship.
Our hospital treats thousands of animals every year, and we rely on contributions from our loyal donors and corporate partners to subsidise veterinary care for pets of poorer owners.
Please note that we mainly treat domestic pets. Other animals would need specialised veterinary care which is not performed at the SPCA, kindly contact us first if you are unsure if we can treat the animal.
Please note that the Cape of Good Hope SPCA does not have a vet on standby after hours.
The only after-hours collections we can arrange for are for your pet to be humanely euthanased.
The SPCA does not offer an ambulance service. Owners are responsible for bringing in their own animals for treatment.

It was a bequest made by the late Val Gorfinkel that enabled our Animal Hospital to receive a much-needed revamp about 16 years ago. That upgrade helped ensure that 40 000 animals received veterinary help during the past year.
