Last Saturday, the MustCare Vets team gathered for an unforgettable evening—our first-ever Gala & Awards Night. It was a night to step away from the day-to-day work, look around, and celebrate everything we’ve built together.
For Dr. Shibly, co-founder of MustCare Vets, the evening was a defining moment.
“This isn’t just a vet clinic anymore. It’s a movement.”
Bringing the MustCare Group Together
The event brought together veterinarians, nurses, client care teams, and their partners from MustCare Vet Centre’s four locations, along with those who have supported the journey behind the scenes. From the very first clinics—Calamvale Vet Clinic and Monty & Minx Vets—to the thriving team that exists today, the night was a chance to reflect on how far MustCare Vets has come.
“We wanted to build a place where pet care wasn’t just about fixing problems, but about creating real change. A place where the team felt valued, heard, and part of something bigger.” – Dr Shibly Mustapha
Recognizing Our Core Values Champions
A highlight of the night was the Core Values Awards, recognising team members who live by Kindness, Gratitude, Growth, and Respect every day.
At MustCare Vets, our Core Values Awards aren’t just about recognising hard work—they’re about celebrating the heart and soul of who we are.
Veterinary care is demanding, emotional, and deeply personal. It takes more than medical expertise to make a real impact. It takes Kindness, Gratitude, Growth, and Respect—the values that guide everything we do.
Our awards honour the team members who truly live these values, whether through the way they care for patients, support their colleagues, or go above and beyond for clients. These awards highlight those who make MustCare a place where people feel valued, supported, and inspired to do their best work—not just as professionals, but as people.
The Core Values Awards are our way of saying:
We see you. We appreciate you. And we’re better because of you.
A Personal and Special Moment
The night was even more meaningful for Dr. Shibly, who was joined by his wife Rehana, his children, and his parents, the people who have witnessed this journey from the very beginning.
“None of this happens without the people who walked this journey with me. Rehana—my wife, my business partner—has been beside me through every challenge, every impossible idea. And to share this night with my parents and kids made it even more special.” – Dr Shibly Mustapha
Looking Ahead: A Vision to Impact a Billion Beings
While the night was about celebrating the past year’s achievements, it was also about the future—a future where veterinary care is more than just medicine.
“We’re here to positively impact a billion beings. That’s the mission. Because veterinary care isn’t just about treating illness—it’s about education, prevention, leadership, and making a lasting difference in the lives of animals and the people who care for them.” – Dr Shibly Mustapha
The journey is far from over. MustCare Vets is growing, evolving, and leading the way toward something greater than just a network of clinics—it’s about purpose, leadership, and a new way forward for veterinary care.
To everyone who makes MustCare what it is—thank you. Here’s to 2025 and beyond.
