This week Veterinary Nurse Kathlene will be travelling to the Gili Islands in Indonesia to volunteer with Vets Beyond Borders! ✈️🏝

There she will be helping the amazing team at LUNI Lombok with a TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) program on Gili Air.

LUNI Lombok Indonesia is a charity that runs the only veterinary clinic on the Gili Islands. They treat cats, dogs, wildlife, and large animals as well as helping with community education.

TNR programs involve desexing, vaccinating and providing parasite protection to the island cats to keep the population healthy. 💉🐱

It is the most humane and effective way to prevent overpopulation, reduce suffering, and protect the island’s delicate ecosystem. 🌿🏝️

Anyone can help by donating directly to LUNI Lombok via this link: ⬇️

We hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas gifts and yummy holiday food!

But don't forget that many foods we eat at Christmas, like ham, Christmas cake, fruit mince tarts and chocolate, can make our pets very sick! 🍇🍫

Batteries, tinsel and small parts from toys are also common causes of emergency Vet visits this time of year! 🎁🎄

So do your furry family a favour, and please only share your time and fun with them this holiday season 😊
