RCVS makes Christmas donation to StreetVet
The charity has been providing free veterinary care since 2016.
The charity provides vet care for pets of people experiencing homelessness. 

StreetVet has been announced as the recipient of this year’s Christmas donation from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).

The charity was chosen to receive the £4,000 donations by RCVS president Linda Belton.

Dr Belton explained: “The charity’s work providing free veterinary care for animals whose owners are experiencing homelessness is just one example of how the veterinary professions positively impact not only animals but also people, whether through individuals or wider society.

“Our connection with society at large is often overlooked and the collective veterinary voice has a lot to offer.”

StreetVet was launched in 2016. Since then, it has helped care for more than 2,500 pets, from providing essentials such as vaccinations to performing surgeries.

Jade Statt, co-founder and clinical director for StreetVet, said: “We are absolutely delighted to hear that StreetVet has been selected as the RCVS president’s charity this Christmas.

“The demand for our support continues to rise and these crucial funds will help us to continue delivering our free veterinary care services to the pets and their owners that need it most.

“The support we get from the veterinary profession as a whole – in funds, expertise, procedures, and volunteer hours – is truly incredible and StreetVet would not exist without it. Thank you all so much.”
