The holiday season may be a joyful time for you and your family, but it’s essential to keep your cat's safety in mind. Many festive items can pose hazards to your cat. Ornamental items like shiny decorations and tinsel may attract curious cats and lead to digestive issues if swallowed, so keep them out of reach.

The wonderful team at Forever Loved is going to take a brief, well-deserved break....

❤️💚Holiday Hours💚❤️

Dear clients, please be advised that we will be closed for the holidays from December 24th-January 2nd. The email will be monitored periodically during that time. We will resume regular correspondence (phone/email) on January 3rd, and will resume housecalls on January 4th. It's important for us to take time to rest and recoup so we can continue to serve you well in the new year.

If your pet is in urgent need and you cannot get into your regular clinic, there are several options available to help you and your pet over the holidays: MAEC (Metro Animal Emergency Clinic), Coastal Care, Martime Emergency, 4Paws and Penhorn Animal Hospital.

In veterinary medicine, it's not uncommon to hear "I just want to get them through one more holiday". We completely understand how difficult it is to let go and not wanting to associate the holidays with loss, but please keep their quality of life in mind. "Getting them through" is for us, not for them. Our pets see us through every high and every low, it's only fair we do the same for them.

Wishing you all a beautiful holiday season❤💚❤️💚

We love this!

Bringing your cat or exotic animal to Maritime?

Did you know we have a special waiting area for our feline and exotic patients? This almost completely enclosed space creates a quieter, less stressful, environment for our smaller friends to await their appointments.

In preparation for the upcoming busy holiday season, we would like to remind our clients to check their prescriptions and plan ahead!

We require 2 business days to fulfil an in-clinic prescription. If your prescription has to be ordered in from a compounding pharmacy, please understand that there may be shipping delays. We are asking clients to place their orders as soon as possible.

The last day to pick up filled prescriptions before we are closed for the holidays will be Monday December 23rd. If your cat requires a controlled drug, such as Buprenorphine, the last day to pick up will be Friday December 20th.

If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to call us at (902) 423-7877.

A matter near and dear to our hearts here at Atlantic Cat Hospital - only wish we could do more

The Atlantic Cat Hospital is a proud monthly sponsor of Spay Day House and we thank them for their support. Did you know that way back when we started and were unknown, the Atlantic Cat Hospital was the very first clinic to take a chance on Spay Day HRM. The very first low-income spays & neuters happened on April 20, 2011 at the Atlantic Cat Hospital. Kitties Bear, Simone, & Velvet were complimentary spay/neuters by Dr. Julia Gilkerson in her efforts to support our work and give us a great start to helping cats in HRM and humanely control the ever growing cat population. Thank you Dr Julia Gilkerson for believing in us and helping to keep the doors open at Spay Day House.
