Manchester Cat Clinic

We have been chosen to be a teaching practice for and our first elective students started this week 😺

Selected final year students at Harper-Keele Vet School who have an interest in feline medicine will be undertaking 3 week elective placements at Manchester Cat Clinic for the next several months.

Our vet team were lucky to be mentored by some amazing vets when we were students and we are thrilled to have this opportunity to repay this experience by teaching next year's vet graduates how to give cats the very best care in general practice.

Thank you to our wonderful clients and patients who have always been incredibly welcoming to vet students we've had on placement in the past and going forward 🐾

We will be closed on Monday 26th August for the bank holiday, back open 8.30am Tuesday as normal.

We hope that our patients & clients have a lovely long weekend 😺

It's Black Cat Appreciation Day 🖤

We're going to show you some of the lovely black cats owned by our team, but first here's lots of photos of a very special cat called Ted. There were too many good ones to choose from and he deserves his own post 😺

Do you have a lovely black cat? Lots of members of the MCC team do 🖤

🐈‍⬛ Have you noticed your black cat can look a bit different in the sunlight? ☀️ Some black cats have fur that can turn a lighter rusty shade when exposed to the sun, much the same way you might notice your own hair getting lighter during summer. 🧬 Even with a dominant black colour gene, a recessive gene can lead to a slight tint in your black cat’s fur. You may also notice that a subtle tabby pattern appears too! This is also a dominant pattern in cats so it could poke through if the tabby gene isn’t totally suppressed.

Show some love for these mini house panthers, shadows, voids and tuxedo cats by sharing a photo in the comments! 🖤 📸👇

It’s ! A microchip is the best way to help your cat be reunited with you if they ever become lost. Take a few minutes to make sure your microchip details are up to date. Check your cat’s microchip here: www.identibase.co.uk/catsprotectioncheckyourchip

✨️ MCC team appreciation post ✨️

When the first photo was taken in November 2022, the Manchester Cat Clinic team only had 2 members. We opened in May 2023 as a team of 8, and we're currently 15, but we have another 2 nurses and a vet joining us very soon ☺️

The daily feedback we get from clients about our team's warmth and compassion makes us incredibly proud and grateful to have found such wonderful people to work here. Here's a few recent examples...

"A lovely welcoming, kind and caring environment where our cat’s welfare and comfort was put above all else. This is our first visit and super impressed. Thank you"

"Hi there, I am thrilled with the treatment my boy Nugget received yesterday at your practice. The practice management were super helpful and reassuring in the lead up to the appointment and helping me understand and sort out my pet insurance! Most importantly, the biggest thing for me is that you are an independent clinic and not controlled by a corporate, and this came through in your service and interactions. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your practice to my fellow cat-crazy friends!"

"I would like to say I am extremely happy that I have transferred to this clinic, my vet Eloise is amazing, my cat Milo hasn’t been the easiest to deal with as he gets really stressed out visiting the vets, but she has always made us feel comfortable and answered any questions I have. Thank you all for your hard work"

Well done team 👏👏👏

All of our patients are VIPs but some of them are family too! Ellie's sister brought the wonderful Deya Sunshine to see us today for his annual vaccinations and health check. He posed for some lovely photos and was rewarded with lots of lick-e-lix 🤍

Even though Deya is an indoor cat, he still needs his annual health check and vaccinations against cat flu. More info here: manchestercatclinic.co.uk/services/ahv

Found cat - Adult tortoiseshell female, no microchip

This lovely lady has been hanging around Cuthbert Ave in Levenshulme for a couple of years and her finders don't believe she has a home nearby as they have been advertising her as found and asking neighbours. She's recently become in need of some medical attention and TLC so we've taken her in while we continue the search for her owners.

If you know this cat please contact us on 0161 464 5545 or WhatsApp 07893 950646.

Arthritis is incredibly common in cats but they are very good at hiding it when their joints are painful. Often you may only notice very subtle signs of "slowing down" or changes to their daily routine.

If you'd like us to assess your cat's mobility and make sure they are as comfortable as they can be, there at a few ways that we can help...

🌟 Vet consultation (£55) 🌟
Our vets can examine your cat, discuss their lifestyle or any concerns, suggest a diagnosis or possible further tests, prescribe medication such as pain relief (given by monthly injection or by mouth), or recommend supplements.

🌟 Nurse consultation (£25) 🌟
Our Registered Veterinary Nurses can examine your cat, discuss their lifestyle or any concerns, refer them to the vets for medication or other treatment if needed, or recommend supplements.

To book a vet or nurse consultation, visit manchestercatclinic.co.uk/book

🌟 Over the counter products 🌟
You can buy some joint support products, such as Flexadin Advanced, from our reception without a prescription. For more information visit manchestercatclinic.co.uk/otc

Independent vet practices like ours are continuing to grow and thrive despite significant challenges affecting the rest of the veterinary industry. We've been blown away by the reception we've had since we opened 14 months ago. We know that the fact that we're a small family business is a significant part of why many people choose us and we're very grateful to our lovely clients for trusting us with their cats' care 😺

Do you currently work at another vet practice? Although we don't have any active vacancies, we're always happy to hear from experienced veterinary staff who may be interested in working with us in the future. Many other independent practices are taking enquiries from potential future employees who currently work at corporate groups. You can find your local independent vet practice at independentvets.co.uk or vmwo.co.uk

Update 12.07.24: Unfortunately his health deteriorated significantly, he lost the ability to use his legs and we made the decision to put him to sleep on welfare grounds as we suspect he had a brain tumour. His body will rest here for 2 weeks before we arrange for him to be cremated. RIP 🖤

Do you recognise this cat?

He was found M20 4TF and is currently with us receiving medical attention. He is an entire male with no microchip.

Please call the practice on 0161 464 5545 if you know him 🤍
