Meet the Team: Sr. Matilda

From tea lady to trailblazer, Sr Matilda’s journey in veterinary nursing is nothing short of inspiring. Starting out at a large Cape Town practice, her passion for animals quickly shone through - earning her the role of the practice’s first female kennel assistant in 2009.
Driven to grow, she completed her Veterinary Assistant Diploma in 2013, followed by a Veterinary Nursing Diploma in 2016. In 2025, she brought her experience, heart, and dedication to BVH - and we couldn’t be happier to have her on our team! 💙🐾

When she’s not caring for patients, Matilda loves spending time with her family, watching movies and cartoons, and enjoying fun outings together.

🌟 Harvey – March Patient of the Month 🌟

This brave little Jack Russell, Harvey, came to us from Paws R Us: SA after his world turned upside down earlier this month, when he and his two family members were suddenly surrendered from their home. Just days later, Harvey began showing signs of severe pain and difficulty walking, and was soon diagnosed with IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease).

But Harvey is a fighter. 💪🐾
Thanks to the incredible support of his rescue community, he underwent ventral slot surgery on Friday, 20 March. Today, Harvey is recovering here at BVH - healing steadily and reminding us every day just how strong and sweet he truly is. Once he’s discharged, he’ll move into a foster home for cage rest and rehabilitation: the next step on his journey toward a pain-free life and, hopefully, a forever home alongside his family members, Dex and Bella. 🤍

You can read more about Harvey, his family members, and their quest for a new home, and a triple adoption miracle, here:
