Update - Donor found, thank you to everyone who shared ❤️

-----

Has your cat previously donated blood?

Our friends at Vets Now Manchester are looking for a potential blood donor cat who is type B.

If you know your cat's blood type, or have a breed that is commonly type B and wish them to be typed (BSH, Cornish Rex, Devon Rex, Exotic, Ragdoll, Turkish Angora or Turkish Van) please get in touch with Vets Now Manchester directly on 0161 222 0803.

Unless your cat has been typed for a transfusion in the past, we won't have a record of their blood type, as cat blood transfusions are an uncommon procedure usually done at specialist hospitals.

Sending our best wishes to the little cat needing a transfusion ❤️

Marty would like to talk to you about pet insurance!

We can work directly with most insurance companies but some are much easier to submit claims to than others. So far in 2024 we have taken nearly 900 payments directly from pet insurance companies so our clients don't have to pay their bills upfront 🙌

As you can imagine, arranging all of these claims is a huge amount of work for our Practice Manager Lilli and she does a fantastic job of it. However, for a small handful of companies who we can't submit claims to electronically, we are now charging a small admin fee to cover the time taken for filling out insurance paperwork (new claims only, existing claims are unaffected). For more details or to see how we work work your pet insurance provider visit: manchestercatclinic.co.uk/insurance

Most claims are still free of charge, including all of the companies we work with very regularly (most of our claims are with Petplan, Animal Friends, Argos, John Lewis, M&S, ManyPets, Sainsbury's, Tesco & Waggel).

Here's handsome Jasper who came to see vet Dan recently for a check up and to join our Healthy Cat Plan. He's normally very nervous at the vets but was a really good brave boy who appreciated a slow approach and time to make himself at home. Well done Jasper ❤️

Two cats found today without microchips (found separately) - please get in touch if either of them are yours.

1 - Ginger & white young adult male, not neutered or chipped, found on Stockport Rd in Levenshulme

2 - Black & white young male, not neutered or chipped, blue collar, found at Unsworth Park in Fallowfield

Both have been returned to where they were found with paper collars on, the finders will be keeping an eye on them.

-----

Please neuter and chip your cats before letting them outdoors to help keep them safe. Entire male cats are at higher risk of road traffic accidents and FIV. Cats without chips are much harder to reunite with their owners if they get lost.

Meet Winnie, our most recent FIP survivor! Winnie was referred to our internal medic, Eloise, following an acutely bloated abdomen. Winnie was diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis, a disease that used to be untreatable in cats but recent breakthroughs in medication mean that we can give these cats long, fulfilled lives. After 12 weeks of treatment, Winnie has been a superstar and has finally been given the all clear. We have loved seeing Winnie's progress over the past few weeks and seeing that she has grown into the most beautiful young lady!

Winnie's caregivers have also given permission for her to take part in a FIP treatment study with the University of Edinburgh. We are very grateful for this as it gives us better information on how to care for these cats in the future.

We'll be in touch with anyone booked for appointments directly but if you pop in, keep an eye out for temporary signage directing you to use the back door for access.

Thank you in advance for your patience while we improve the practice 😺
