⚠️⚠️⚠️ SCAM ALERT ⚠️⚠️⚠️
Tonight someone has used the practice to fraudulently take money from an owner who is missing their pet cat. They have called the owner and claimed to be someone working at the practice, claiming the missing cat has been handed in as a stray. They have then asked for money over the phone to discharge their missing cat back to them before booking an appointment for the cat to be picked up from the practice.
A lot of money was unfortunately taken from the owners bank account and the cat was unfortunately not in our care so the cat has not been returned and is still missing.
Please note, we would never ask for payment over the phone to return a found pet. We do not charge to return missing pets to their owners.
Please do not fall for this scam. If you receive a call along these lines please hang up and call the practice directly.
