    Pet owners are urged to ensure that their animals are vaccinated against rabies following a report that five cases of rabies in humans have been confirmed in South Africa since December 2017. The National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) said the cases were recorded in patients from Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Eastern Cape and two patients in KwaZulu-Natal. Rabies vaccines are available through all the vets in Grahamstown. The Grahamstown SPCA and the State Vet have also been proactively vaccinating against rabies within the townships and outlying areas as part of our outreach work to help control this risk.

    For more information or advice, please contact Grahamstown SPCA or any of the vets in town:

    Grahamstown Veterinary Practice on Fitzroy Street, Tel: 046 622 6743

    Ikhala Veterinary Practice on Strowan Road, Tel: 046 622 3261

    The State Vet on George Street, Tel:  046 622 7112

    Keep in touch with all the improvements and updates on your SPCA and our work in the community by following us on Facebook.

    We are desperate for any and all donations of food and financial contributions to assist us with our preventative vaccination and sterilisation drive programmes and appeal to all who can, to donate to this worthy cause.

    For more information, advice or guidance, to report cruelty and or details on how you can donate to help us with the work we are doing in your community, please contact the Grahamstown SPCA on 046 622 3233 or e-mail us at spcaght@gmail.com.
