Mobile clinics The Cape of Good Hope SPCA Mobile Clinic programme operates in informal settlements and impoverished communities around Cape Town, the mobile units provide primary veterinary care and educate owners about responsible pet care. Dipping, de-worming and vaccinating are among the vital services they provide. Animals in need of sterilisation -- and those that are ill or injured -- are transported to The Cape of Good Hope SPCA Animal Hospital for further treatment, and returned to their owners afterwards. On 24 August 2015, the first Mobile Clinic operating in Gugulethu was launched. This was made possible by resident Thamsanqa Paliso, who approached Proportional Representation ( PR ) Councillor Constance Leputhing, of Ward 44, to arrange with the Cape of Good Hope SPCA to launch the Mobile Clinic in the area.
