I am available 365 days a year and can visit your cats once or twice a day. Your cats staying in their own home is much less stressful for them than going to a cattery, and they are there to greet (or ignore!) you when you return. Please look at the website for much more information. We cover all areas near to Chigwell, Woodford, Buckhurst Hill, Loughton, Debden, Epping, Theydon Bois and Abridge.

I noticed last night on my visits how many fireworks are going off already 😩 and it’s only going to get worse between now and the 6th November ☹️ PLEASE keep your cats in after dark and overnight to help them through, what is for them, an extremely stressful time. There is never a warning when a firework suddenly goes off; it makes me jump sometimes so imagine how a cat feels with their far more sensitive hearing. 🙉 To help keep them calm, close the curtains and turn lights on so the flashes aren’t so obvious, turn the tv or radio up a bit more to drown out the bangs and make sure they have covered, dark places to hide in if they want to. Act normal yourself too, if you seem like you’re worried it will make them worse. Sky TV have created a pop-up channel to help worried pets over the next few days. I think Magic Radio, on their classical channel, also have calming music, along with Classic FM as well. Stay safe everyone, and support your cats as much as you can over this noisy, flashy time of year. 😻🐈🐾🐈‍⬛❤️

I have used Forest Vets for almost 20 years and totally recommend them. What has always given me peace of mind is that their hospital in Epping is their out of hours service; I really appreciate that, in an emergency, the vets are the same and that they have full access to all the cat’s history, which is not an option if other vets use a totally different firm for their out of hours service.

Forest Vets in Essex, in Epping, Harlow, Isle of Dogs and Woodford Bridge, provide the best pet healthcare and accept veterinary referrals from your local vet

Sometimes it’s not all about the cats! This little chap came down the chimney into a customer’s house, thou he was still in the chimney when one of the cats proudly alerted me to his presence; he was having too much fun to come down for breakfast 😂 after shutting the cats out of the room and leaving for a couple of hours, when I got back he’d come out by himself. It was then just a case of persuading him to fly through the window 👏🦜😻

🌟🌟PARKER IS HOME! 👏🎉🌟🌟
Little Parker has gone missing; he’s a customer of ours. He lives on Honeycroft in Loughton and it’s been bin day today. If you live nearby, or know people who do, please ask them to check their sheds/garages as it’s very likely he’s accidentally been shut in somewhere. It’s not like him not to come home. 🤞😻

Today is Tortoiseshell Cat Appreciation Day 😻 we have lots of beautiful tortie customers 😻🐾😻

Today is the day we celebrate these beautiful felines! 😻 Here are some interesting facts about tortoiseshell cats👇

🐱Nearly all tortoiseshell cats are female. This is because female cats carry two X chromosomes (males carry one X and one Y) and these chromosomes carry genetic information about orange and black coat colour.

🐱Tortoiseshell kittens inherit an orange coat gene from one parent, and a black one from the other and are born with interesting patches of each colour which make up their unique coat. A male kitten on the other hand has only one X chromosome, so would be either black or orange in coat colour.

🐱For this reason, male tortoiseshell cats are extremely rare. They are usually sterile as they have XXY chromosomes, similar to humans with Klinefelter syndrome. As a result, male tortoiseshell cats are prone to health issues.

📝One 2016 study showed that sex-linked orange female cats (tortoiseshell, calico, and torbies) were more frequently aggressive towards humans. However....... we should be mindful not to label tortie cats as this can create a negative bias towards them and affect how we interact with them in a home and veterinary environment. A cat's temperament is influenced by lots of things, not just their genetics! There are plenty of friendly tortie cats out there! 💗

🍀Tortoiseshell cats are also considered lucky in many countries

Personally, I think tortoiseshell cats are beautiful 😻

Show me your beautiful torties! 😻😻
