StreetVet is a nonprofit animal welfare organisation in the United Kingdom founded in 2016. The organisation provides support for homeless pet owners who cannot afford private veterinary treatment and educates them on the responsibilities and care of animal ownership.
StreetVet operates throughout London, Bristol, and Brighton. Its major services are: providing veterinary services to pet owners who cannot afford the private fees charged by private veterinary surgeons and promoting animal welfare through education.
StreetVet vets and nurses, working with Streets Kitchen and other organisations, are out in the London community at least 4 days a week.
The Blue Cross and the Village Vet Group are some of the earliest supporters of StreetVet.
The organisation can’t work without the support of local practices and hospitals. While many things can be done on the streets, simple operations such as neutering, dental procedures and lump removals need the use of theatres.
The founders of StreetVet have teamed up with hairdresser and #dosomethingfornothing campaign founder Josh Coombes, who has been giving homeless people across the capital free haircuts for the past 18 months.
StreetVet launched a partnership with IAPWA on World Homeless Day (October 10, 2017)
