This post is from 2019, it shows the big heart Dr Kate Adams possesses. The world needs more kindness, its timeless.

Can anybody help? This little lady has been a patient with us for 11 years and was an inside cat with a dedicated owner that loved her heaps - she had regular dentistry, vaccinations, worming and always the best foods. Unfortunately her owner recently passed away and now she is all on her own. She was brought to us for euthanasia but we just couldn’t do it without trying to find her another somebody to love her. She is a sweet little indoor cat that is quiet but loves a pat. If you or anybody you know would like to meet her or even just ask a few questions, please give us a call on (02) 91302001 or email [email protected]. She would be great for someone’s grandmother or even an apartment person with not much space that could do with some !

We are expanding our services to include dog walking and doggie play sessions in your home.

Our dog walking service is a great way for your pooch to stay healthy and happy. The many sights and smells on a walk are incredibly interesting for your pooch to take in, and will also help to prevent boredom and stress. A walk in the fresh air to burn some energy with plenty of belly rubs along the way.

Your dog will never be bored or lonely again!

Its going to be hot today, as a result Bungendore Happy Cats Hotel would like to offer anyone with an aging cat or mother with kittens the opportunity to utilise our air conditioned facilities at no cost. Rabbits, guinea pigs also welcome as long as they can be contained in a confined space. Apologies we cannot take dogs.

Possum received some very interesting and important information from the Bungendore Vet this week, and it was too good not to share.

December is the season for joy and celebrations, and with our top tips you can help your Cat have a pawsome time too. From sunshine to snacks, the festivities can bring some surprising hidden dangers for our much-loved furry family members.

Keep it cat proof ...
To an adventurous cat, a twinkling Christmas tree looks like a tantalising playground. Consider securing it, so it can’t be toppled.

Protect your cat from preservatives ...
Chemical Christmas tree preservatives can be highly toxic to cats, who often love lapping up tree water.

Be berry aware ...
Poinsettias, holly and mistletoe can give our four-legged friends a sore tummy, especially the berries.

Stick to your established routine ...
Cats thrive on routine just as much as we love the hustle and bustle of Christmas, so maintain regular feeding times. Allow your cat access to a peaceful space, away from loud voices, party poppers and crackers. Ask little visitors not to overwhelm cats with attention, but to let them come for a cuddle when they are ready.

Be clever with candles ...
Position them away from inquisitive paws and furry tail
Make sure there is fresh water at all times
You could include ice cubes to help keep the water cool.

Create good air circulation for indoors ...
Keep windows open and set fans up around the areas your cat often spends their time. Putting ice in front of the fan will help blow colder air.

Provide shaded areas outdoors to cool down in ...
If your cat worships the sun, apply pet sun cream to the exposed skin (i.e. ears, nose). Note: Human sun cream can damage cat’s skin.

Be snake aware ...
Keep an eye out for common snake hiding spots where cats like to hang out, such as near/under rocks, in sheds or in garden beds. Call a vet immediately if you think your cat may have been bitten by a snake.

Check all sheds and greenhouses thoroughly before shutting ...
Cats could easily find their way in and become quickly dehydrated if trapped inside.

Although we know it's unlikely, please never leave any of furry friends in a car in warm weather ...
Even at 22°c outside a car can reach over 50°c in an hour. ‘Not long’, is too long.

Bungendore Happy Cats Hotel and Possum would like to thank Bungendore Vet Surgery for their information and we hope you all have a happy and safe festive period.
