In early 2024, Mission Veterinary Partners (MVP) and Nevis Animal Speak (NAS) launched their first collaborative event, led by Christopher Anderson, DVM, Regional Medical Ambassador for MVP, and Heather Harken, Associate Director of University Engagement.
This initiative provided low- and no-cost spay/neuter services to the community, while also leveraging NAS’s proximity to Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (RUSVM) to offer veterinary students a hands-on learning experience. Through this collaboration, students gained valuable surgical and clinical skills while actively supporting NAS’s mission:
“No dog or cat, homed or stray, will go without necessary medical care.”
We also recognize the merger of Southern Veterinary Partners (SVP) and MVP as a significant milestone in advancing our long-term mission, vision, and goals—ensuring greater impact for our patients, clients, students, and dedicated volunteer veterinarians and veterinary technicians.

Nevis
Island Of Experiences
Nevis may be famed for its boundless beauty, but what really makes this Caribbean island such a unique gem is its welcoming people, easy-going nature and unique experiences.
A remarkable island jewel nestled in the northern end of the Lesser Antilles, among the crystal-clear water of the Caribbean Sea. Here the vibe is relaxed, the landscape is lush and the view is majestic. From the elegance of the Four Seasons Resort, to the restaurants inspired by local ingredients , there is something here for everone!
Here, we rush slowly!
St. Kitts
Mother Colony of the West Indies
18 miles of verdant land stretch across rainforests that teem with gentle wildlife, mountains that scrape the sky, and shores that defy convention—some volcanic black, others Caribbean gold. In St. Kitts, each day calls for its own adventure, with hidden treasures in every soul-stirring discovery.
Wildlife
St. Kitts and Nevis has a diverse range of wildlife, including vervet monkeys, which were introduced centuries ago and now thrive across both islands. The islands are home to colorful bird species like the Antillean crested hummingbird, frigatebirds, and brown pelicans, making them a great destination for birdwatching. Marine life flourishes along the coral reefs, with sea turtles, dolphins, and various tropical fish species inhabiting the waters. The lush rainforests and coastal areas also support mongoose, iguana species, and numerous amphibians and insects. Despite human development, conservation efforts aim to protect the islands’ unique biodiversity.
