Outreach
StreetVet Cambridge
The StreetVet Cambridge team, supported by StreetVet's Clinical and Volunteer teams works closely with local homelessness support services, to deliver weekly clinics in the city. Through consistent, compassionate veterinary care and support, the team helps protect the vital human–animal bond, enabling those experiencing homelessness with their pets stay together across Cambridge, accessing support when they need it most.
Volunteers at each outreach location work collaboratively, sharing leadership, tasks, and responsibilities across administration and service delivery to ensure the outreach runs smoothly.
What We Do
StreetVet Cambridge
Each StreetVet outreach team delivers free accessible veterinary care directly into the community. Outreach clinics are held on the streets, in hostels or other homelessness support facilities. Our teams of volunteers take the practice to the pavement, meeting people and pets where they are.
Anything that can be done in a consulting room, our volunteer vets and vet nurses can do at an outreach clinic, helping remove barriers to care while building trust and continuity.
At each outreach clinic, teams may provide:
Full health checks and clinical assessments
Vaccinations and microchipping
Preventative treatments, including flea, worm and parasite control
Diagnosis and treatment of illness or injury
Dispensing medications and providing follow‑up care
Blood sampling, urine testing and basic diagnostic procedures
Sampling and monitoring of lumps or wounds
Advice, guidance and education to support responsible pet care and ownership
Provision of daily pet essentials, including food, coats, collars, leads and toys
This outreach based approach ensures pets receive the care they need, in a trusted environment, supporting the wellbeing of both animals and their owners
