Season of Hearts❤️: All of us here at Vets2Home want to say just ‘WOW’ and extend a huge ‘THANK YOU’ to Karen (& Lacey - RIP) who has really gone ALL out with sending us the nicest and biggest boxed surprise this Christmas🎄 !
Last week, in our PEACEHAVEN office, we received a huge white box, full of lovely sweet meticulously wrapped little thoughtful presents containing an abundance of tasty (naughty) treats and nice cards to each and everyone of us.
Amanda’s lovely very elderly childhood rescue cat, Spike (aged 18 1/2yrs - who was hours away from dying of cat ‘Parvo’ when he was merely 5-6 weeks old!) helped us unpack all the goodies….
Also incredibly touching was the envelope with a very generous donation to support our new Angel charity work, with helping senior cats not be put to sleep (in Sussex & Portugal) but instead finding temporary foster and forever homes to these senior cats that come to us occasionally and who clearly have more time left. Thank you SO much Lacey, Karen (& mum) for this super thoughtful, generous and amazing gesture to all of us (& in memory of Lacey, the beautiful little black girl we helped Karen send off 🌈💔 last year). We are very touched and humbled. ❤️🐾
Happy Christmas to you and your new loves, your two young kitty cats - here to receive and share all that left over love that was left behind…. 😻
Dr Suzen & Amanda, Dr Jo, Dr Emma, Dr Emily, Andrea & Lex (& The We Take Calls & MoneyPenny Team 24/7)🎄🌹

FULL UPDATE!!! Love & kindness is fur real….
WHO DOESN’T LOVE A HAPPY ENDING! Read on….

Best friends/siblings(?) Monty & Delphi, arrived Sunday in their loving, forever home in St Leonard’s.
After housing these two elderly kitties for a few weeks and, not least, rescuing them from needlessly being put to sleep, Dr Jo delivered these two 🐾angels to a childless couple in East Sussex with access to safe garden.
We can’t quite believe what a happy outcome from this ordeal.
We think THIS is a real early Christmas Fairytale Story….
Thank you so much to the wonderful cat lovers who have rescued these kitties and given them a forever home, and to all of you who have shared and registered your interest to foster or adopt older cats that come to us for premature euthanasia.
THANK YOU WONDERFUL ANIMAL LOVING COMMUNITY 🐾😻
The Vets2Home Team❤️🐾

5/11 UPDATE UPDATE!!!🐾🐾
THANK YOU for all your help and interest in helping Monty & Delphi.
Looks like we MAY have found a loving home for these lovely elderly kitties🤞😻🤞. More soon.

Please 🐾 Keep registering with us on ([email protected]) for any future long-term fostering/adoption as sadly we get these occasionally.

Our wonderful senior vet, Dr Jo, was last week called out to euthanise these two lovely elderly kitties, Monty & Delphi, who have lived together all their lives and have a very close bond. When he arrived he was surprised to see two healthy & lively elderly cats, definitely not two cats at the end of their lives!
Sadly, the elderly owner, who has had the cats for their whole lives, simply couldn’t cope with them any more and had exaggerated their ‘poor health’ and age related ailments to justify them needing to be euthanised! Very, very sad.

As they were both curiously circling around his legs for attention, esp Monty being very cuddly and sweet, Dr Jo very soon realised there was no way he would be able to carry out what the owner had asked for… so he asked the elderly owner, if she’d be willing to give them up for long-term fostering, if there was a chance an animal lover with a ‘heart and a house’, would be able to give them a loving home with outdoor access and lots of TLC for whatever time they have left?
Her reply was: ‘Yes, but who would possibly want these two old cats?’…. 🤞🐾

So Dr Jo ended up walking out with these two sweeties in two carrier boxes instead of putting them to sleep – these two little darlings do not know how close they came to an untimely end!
Monty & Delphi are now residing in Dr Jo’s unheated garden shed waiting for someone to step in and save them…. They both had vet check & blood tests last week (including a thyroid check) and have been given the all clear. For their age they are remarkably healthy.

More info:
These two 🐾 are used to having access to the outdoors; Monty loves human attention and life as a predominantly indoor cuddly cat (with the occasional leg stretch in the garden!), while shy Delphi is clearly more independent and prefers the outdoors.

With this rather urgent situation, Vets2Home are proud to kick start and announce our brand new up-start & collaboration with ‘The Angel Fund’ (in Sussex) and new UK charity, ‘Oasis’ (in Portugal), a new charity run by Dr Andrea Wraith, who have a sanctuary in Portugal for elderly, unwanted or abandoned animals there.

Vets2Home will on behalf of every animal we help, support ‘The Angel Fund’ & also Oasis to help re-home unwanted, abandoned or homeless senior cats (12+) who are given up by their owners when they themselves perhaps are forced into the care system or hospitalised or when, for various reasons, they are no longer able to look after their elderly kitties (like Monty & Delphi).

Elderly cats, that if they went into the mainstream large charity centre re-homing system would most likely end up stuck in cages forever or worse, needlessly be put to sleep, much too soon because they cannot be found a new loving home.

To support this much needed work of finding short-term, long-term or permanent forever foster homes for senior cats (12+) in Sussex, Vets2Home is making a donation of £5 to either ‘The Angel Fund’ or to ‘Oasis’ on behalf of every beautiful animal we help send over the rainbow 🌈.

If you can help re-home or foster Monty & Delphi, or other cats that come to us in this sad way in future, please register your interest by email or text/what’s app us at:

‘The Angel Fund’ & ‘Oasis’ welcomes any small (medium or large!) donation to help support this vital work in Sussex and in Portugal: so please donate today or email us to register your interest in providing a foster or forever home in the UK.

THANK YOU 🐾❤️

Happy 1st birthday, big beautiful Quaver! 27-8-24
BIG CONGRATULATIONS & HAPPY CELEBRATIONS OF 🐾 LIFE ❤️🐾🎉🥳 🐾❤️

Quaver is here featured posing with, and belonging to, our wonderful Practice Manager (and Dr Suzen’s daughter), Amanda, in our ‘Celebrating Life’ delivery car (for personally and safely returning ashes of beloved pets to their families).

Quaver has quickly become Amanda’s trusted co-road warrior, as they’ve done thousands of miles together round Sussex already (seen often with Grandma, riding shotgun as a true family-run practice!).

Quaver is Amanda’s very first dog, and a big, bouncy Golden Retriever and today celebrating their adventurous and fun-filled (but also tough) first year of life together 🎉🥳🐾.

Have a GREAT day, celebrating a seriously spoilt, and much loved 🐾most handsome family member!🐾❤️

ANNOUNCEMENT!
We here at Vets2Home, are so incredibly proud to have had the most warm and compassionate human, our triathlon World Champion, Brighton-local and just most amazing Vet, join our small team of especially trained vets in end-of-life care and peaceful home goodbyes.

Dr Emma, our most Jr vet, has been with us little over a year now, helping families say goodbye and we think it’s about time we shine the spotlight on her as the most amazing young vet we’ve ever met!
The whole team feels so very blessed to be able to do our ‘angel work’ with Dr Emma by our side. Her enthusiasm, compassion and warm light just shines through her natural intuitive way of helping both animals and families under her care and hereby help them have the most loving and healing goodbye, a beautiful forever memory.

Please check out the many 5⭐️ reviews (on Google or on our website) Dr Emma already has accrued as a testament to her finding her true calling and proving this in her relatively short time with Vets2Home.
We are just so happy Dr Emma gave up ‘normal vetting’ in a clinic, after 3 years, to follow her heart and found her new ‘home’ with us.

“Dr Emma, thank you for all you do and give, your professionalism, dedication and your true compassion for giving pets and their families the most beautiful goodbye at home. Never rushed and always warm and with loads of time for everyone you meet.
We hope you’ll stay with us for many years to come. You are such an asset to our team. Thank you 🐾🌹”
Dr Suzen❤️

BIG CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 to our wonderful Dr Jo for having given me (& Vets2Home), the pleasure and honour of working with him for 10 years, this very week. In this decade he has personally helped thousands of much-loved animals peacefully leave their loved ones in the best way possible.

Dr Jo(Joaquin, Ximo), joined me as my very first Assistant Vet on 31st March 2014, just two years after I founded Vets2Home, the first dedicated, end-of-life and palliative care mobile vet practice in all of the UK.

Anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting our soft-spoken Spanish vet, Dr Jo, will know we have been very lucky to have him onboard this pioneering vet service, almost from the start, as the love he holds for helping all animals, great and small, is very strong and clearly his biggest passion, alongside being a great, devoted dad’ to Joaquin Junior.
After reluctantly (Jo was head-hunted for his big animal loving ♥️ ) starting as a ‘home euthanasia vet’, covering for my - rare- absences, Jo realised fairly soon that when he became a vet to ‘save animals’, this could actually also extend to ‘saving them from suffering’ at the end and in the very best way, with a sedation first and while staying at home. Very different to the quick, cold clinic way.

At no other time, than at the end, do we, with our work as end of life vets, help animals suffer less that when we relieve them in the most caring and compassionate way.
Helping families give pets the gentle end, every loved one deserves, animal or human, is truly a big honour and calling for those of us who understand this is the most memorable time.

We know we help families/single owners who are animal lovers, let go of their loved one, in the very best way possible and leaving them with peaceful forever memories of goodbye; peacefully at home, and while gently asleep on a lap or in loved ones arms.
Congratulations Jo, you’ve helped thousands of animals-and their humans suffer so much less by staying at home for this daunting event.
This is the finest task and best reward for any animal loving vet.
It’s been a real honour to have you on my team, nearly more family than colleagues, for a whole decade, while we have balanced raising our own families. It been a joy to watch you being a very hands on dad to a wonderful young boy, who has had his dad (& mum) by his side, every step of his, at times, quite challenging road.
Your dedication to your own family, your patients and their loved ones, has been a joy to watch, work along side and have on our team.
Thank you Dr Jo🐾You are the best - this his clients will also testify to! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ps. You are more than welcome to stay for another decade 😉🇬🇧🇪🇸 🐾 (Dr Jo is celebrating with his dad and family in Spain this coming week)🥳🍾🥂🐾🌹🌹🌹
