Well done GWS Football Club. A great effort to save street cats at their club.

A discovery in the carpark at Giants HQ has led to coaches, players and the media team uniting behind a furry cause

Female tabby cat found in Underwood Ave. No microchip. Please call the clinic if this is your cat on 87253327. We would love to empty our now full isolation ward of at least one stray cat this week!

Please note we have no more room for stray cats.

Happy ending yesterday: after being missing for a couple of months Jinx was brought into the clinic by a kind person who had noticed him hanging around near their house. Thankfully Jinx was microchipped and we were able to reunite him with his owner :)

A great story highlighting how important it is to get your pets microchipped.

If your pet needs microchipping, please call the clinic on 87253327 and we can assist you.

Peyton passed away in our shelter last night.

He came to us just yesterday, a weary soul found in a barn. Fourteen years old, underweight, half an ear missing, and struggling to breathe. His microchip, dating back to 2009, was a silent witness to a life that once was – a life that had somewhere turned bleak and lonely.

In his final hours, Peyton experienced moments of love and care that had been missing for so long. We cleaned his crusted nose, combed out his matts, and he purred, basking in the affection he so deserved. He clung to our warmth, his body going limp with trust and perhaps, relief.

This morning, we found him gone, his struggle quietly ended in the comfort of a soft blanket and a full belly. His departure is a profound reminder of the countless animals who face similar fates, animals whose stories go untold, whose lives end without a whisper.

Peyton's story is a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by many animals. It's a testament to the resilience and enduring hope they possess, even in the face of neglect and abandonment. It underscores the vital role shelters play – not just as a place of refuge, but as a final sanctuary where love and care are given, even if just for a moment.

As we mourn Peyton, let's remember the countless others like him. Each day, shelters across the country are filled with animals waiting for a second chance, for a family, for a home. They wait for someone to notice them, to care, to extend a hand of kindness.

Peyton's story is not just about loss; it's about awareness, compassion, and the bitter-sweet role shelters play in the lives of animals. In sharing his story, we hope to shed light on the unseen struggles and to inspire a community of care and support for these innocent lives.

Rest in peace, Peyton. In your final hours, you were surrounded by love, and your story will not be forgotten.

Another stray cat and baby handed in today. Has been hanging around in Kalimna Crescent. Not microchipped.
Please call the clinic if this is your cat 87253327.
***please if you own a cat get them desexed and microchipped. It’s been the law since 2017 and is the right thing to do. Rescue groups and pounds are all full. Don’t make your pet someone else’s problem.

03/01/2024

Is anyone missing a female tabby and white short haired cat from around the Mulga St school area? Not microchipped. Please call the clinic on 87253327.
(PS as you also didn’t desex your cat - you are also now the proud owner of 4 kittens born overnight in our clinic).

Hey did you know that our dogs and cats can also get breast cancer? 🤔😳
And just like humans it can either be benign or malignant!
Roxi was in last week to have a mammary lump removed. She got the good news that it was benign and completely removed.
If you notice any strange lumps on your pets don’t hesitate to book an appointment for them to be checked.

Stray cat found near Umpherston St. Has been hanging out there for a few days. Friendly. Not microchipped!

Cat Vaccine shortage - How do you protect your cats?

Adult cats who have been vaccinated regularly can have their vaccination boosters delayed. The risk of disease increases if your cat goes outside so if you are worried about this they can become inside only cats for the time being. This will also protect them from fights, snakes and road accidents.

It is recommended to delay the vaccination of kittens until 10-12 weeks of age, and only having a 2 vaccine course. Kittens will need to be kept inside and isolated from adults (especially those that go outside) other than their Mum.

As always if you have any concerns about your cat please call the clinic on 87253327.

VACCINE SHORTAGE: heads up to all our cat slaves….there is currently a feline vaccination shortage across Australia. This is likely to last into next year.
Kittens will receive priority for our limited vaccine stocks. Please keep kittens isolated from adult cats.
Adult booster vaccines will be deferred until next year HOWEVER if you have any concerns about your adult cat’s health we are still available for health check ups!
Please enjoy our baby Theo pics.
