🌟 PLEASE, EVERYONE, READ THIS CAREFULLY 🌟
Today’s post is not about kittens, but about something extremely important — the health of our beloved pets and the responsibility we share as owners.
I am very strict and careful when it comes to my animals.
If something doesn’t seem right, I always go to a vet immediately.
And I have changed more than one clinic in the past because of poor competence or because I felt that some vets were more focused on profit than on the wellbeing of the animal.
I want to share my story so that it may help someone else avoid unnecessary stress, money loss, or putting their pet through something they do not need.

🐾 My Story With Juci
In February, my girl Juci had an HCM scan done — everything was perfectly normal.
We also did the genetic HCM test, and it was clear.
Later, I changed clinics due to unprofessional behaviour and poor treatment of animals. In June, I started going to a newly opened clinic.
Approximately three weeks ago, I went there with my kittens for vaccinations and also to update Juci’s annual vaccine. The vet listened to her heart and suddenly said:
> “I hear a murmur.”
I was shocked, because Juci had just had a full heart scan and genetic test in February.
But the vet insisted, saying he does not specialise in cardiology, so he would refer me to a colleague in another city.
When I asked for the price, he said:
> “From £500 and up.”
“From £500” can easily become £1,000.
I calmly told him that if necessary, I would take Juci to Cambridge Queen’s Veterinary Hospital, where the full HCM package costs £350, including blood pressure and blood test.
He agreed.

🏥 Today I returned from Cambridge with Juci
And what do you think?
Juci is completely healthy.
Normal heart, normal function, nothing wrong at all.

💔 Why I’m upset
This is not just about money.
It’s about the stress, the time, and — most importantly — the animal’s health.
Every time a heart scan is done, sedation is required.
Giving sedation twice a year, without a real reason, is not harmless for an animal’s long-term health.
So tell me — who will give me back:
• The time?
• The money?
• The unnecessary stress?
• And the fact that my cat had to go through sedation again for no medical reason?
This is not normal.

❗️My message to all pet owners
Please, don’t rely on only one vet’s opinion — especially if they diagnose something serious or expensive.
If you feel something is not right — go for a second opinion.
Some clinics and some vets do make business from our love for our animals.
If they see you are willing to do anything for your pet, they will try to take every last penny.
I’m not saying all vets are like this.
But unfortunately, there are clinics where profit comes first.
So, once again — protect your animals and protect yourselves.
If something doesn’t sound right — go and consult another specialist.
Your pet’s health is too important to take risks💝
