Time to Celebrate

In 2025 ACE is celebrating its 25th anniversary!

Since our humble beginnings on rented land in July 2000 with just washing and care facilities, we are now treating an average of 100 outpatients six days a week and 25 in-patients every day plus significant small animal treatments and neutering, in our own Hospital! 

We employ 6 Vets and 15 Staff who are constantly busy with the working animals of Luxor, their impoverished families and companion animals.  

 

We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your monthly donation which allows us to plan our expenditure and pay our bills!! Like any other Charity, costs are rising and to have your support is invaluable - you helped us to achieve our 25-year milestone and will continue to help us with our work for many years to come.
