At Simabo's vet clinic we really need help from veterinary doctors!
Simabo was the first free veterinarian clinic in Cabo Verde. We offer help to the local people who want their dogs and cats to be spayed/neutered, dewormed and treated.

What to expect?
Tasks
The clinic is open to the public from 9AM to 1PM and then again from 3PM to 6PM, but surgeries are held only during the morning. So your working time will depend on the tasks that are agreed:
In our experience, veterinary doctors are always very motivated and work long hours by their own choice. It is true that they really make a difference to the animals that arrive at the clinic and this is very rewarding.
The island is famous for its music and its partying vibe! So night activity is guaranteed!
Our driver will wait for you in the airport arrival hall with a sign with your name! Driving time to town is about 10 min.
Accommodation for volunteers is available in single rooms with shared bathroom in our volunteer house or in double or triple rooms with shared bathroom in the hostel. Both are located just a couple of meters away from our clinic, the beach, and the main square of Mindelo. Extra fee is charged for a single room in the hostel.
Volunteers can prepare their own food in the hostel kitchen, where paying guests are hosted to raise funds for the project.
At the hostel volunteers can meet any kind of travellers and together they can plan trips, excursions, parties, dinners, anything that makes fun and makes your volunteering time unforgettable.
Surgeons that can make at least 10 castrations/day get a pocket money for food and access to the communal kitchen.
Pocket money for food is not included for veterinarian doctors who come to help but can't castrate at least 10 animals/day.
We accept veterinary doctor all year around according to availability. Usually we accept one veterinary at a time.

The veterinarian will treat sick animals and, preferably, will also do surgeries and castrations.
