🐾 Celebrating Toast’s Big Day 🐾

Earlier this week we had the privilege of caring for one of our very own family animals, Toast 🧡

Toast belongs to our wonderful nurse Seren. He came to us just 5 months ago as a poorly little stray kitten, and look at him now, living his best life, surrounded by love, and officially part of our Abbey Vets family.

He was such a brave boy for his big boy operation today, showing just how far he’s come from those uncertain beginnings. We couldn’t be prouder of him, and of Seren for giving him the home and heart he deserves.

Here’s to Toast, the stray who became family, and a shining reminder of why we do what we do.

🐾Health Pet Club Spotlight: Lovely Lola 🐾

Today we had the pleasure of seeing the gorgeous Lola for her Health Pet Club check. She was the picture of bravery, winning hearts with her wagging tail and soulful eyes.

Of course, no visit is complete without a few biscuits and plenty of belly scratches to sweeten the deal, and Lola soaked up every moment! 💜

We’re so proud of her courage and charm. Well done, Lola, you’re a superstar! 🌟🐶

✨🐾 Celebrating 6 Years of Gold Standard Feline Care 🐾✨

If you’ve ever met our feline nurse Seren, you’ll know she is so cat-like… and she totally owns it! 😸 Her embodiment of all things feline is exactly why we’re proud to celebrate 6 years as a Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic, awarded by International Cat Care.

Seren’s dedication goes far beyond cuddles and whisker wisdom, she tirelessly educates both pet owners and her colleagues on cat-friendly practices, ensuring our standards remain high and our feline patients feel safe, respected, and understood. 💜

She’s a true advocate for every cat who walks through our doors, and we are so lucky to have her on our team. Seren reminds us daily that caring for cats means thinking like cats, and that’s the secret to our success. Thank you Seren 💜🥰

🎥 Check out our TikTok video to see Seren in action, being her wonderfully cat-like self!

✨ Kitten Spotlight: Lyra✨

The beautiful Lyra made herself right at home today, stretching out comfortably on our scales during her weigh & worm appointment 💕.

She’ll be joining our nursing team each month for her special “kitten check-ins” — a chance to chat all things kitten, track her growth, and make sure she’s developing just as wonderfully as she deserves.

It was such a joy to see you today, Lyra, we can’t wait for your next visit and to watch you blossom! 🌸💜

✨ Meet our absolute gentleman, Theodore – affectionately renamed by the team as Theodorable (because, well… just look at him!) ✨

Today was a big milestone for this dapper lad as he came in for his “big boy operation.” It’s a much safer choice for him to say goodbye to those 🍒, and we couldn’t be prouder of how he handled it.

Before any procedure under general anaesthetic, our vet carries out a pre-anaesthetic health check.

This thorough exam helps us ensure safe anaesthesia and can highlight any concerns with the heart or general health that might need attention. Theodore passed with flying colours, proving he was fit and ready for his procedure.

And here he is afterwards – bright-eyed, bow-tied, and still every inch the gentleman. 💙🐾

🌟 Meet Potato, our brave and beautiful senior lady cat 🌟

Today was dental day for Potato, and she took it all in her stride calm, composed, and utterly charming. After her procedure, she tucked into three helpings of food (because bravery deserves a feast!) and soaked up every cheek rub from our lovely nurse Eleanor, who was on hand with all the cuddles and care 💕

Potato didn’t just win hearts today, she earned herself an Abbey Vets Bravery Award for being so very brave.

Here she is, full of food, full of love, and full of well-deserved praise 💜

🐾 Cat Carriers & Clever Cats: Seren’s Top Tips.

Let’s be honest, getting your cat into the carrier can feel like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube. 🐈💨

With so many carrier styles out there (some fabulous, some… less so), it’s no wonder this part of vet visits causes a bit of a domestic drama. But fear not! Our brilliant feline nurse Seren has created a short video to help you load your cat safely and calmly into their box, without the acrobatics or emotional damage. 😅

🐾 Ripley’s Big Day Out to the Vets🐾

This gorgeous girl had the best time at Abbey Vets today, and honestly, we’re not sure who was more excited: Ripley or us! 😄

She couldn’t believe her luck when she spotted a whole tub of toys in the consult room… and yes, that is three toys in her mouth at once 🙈 Talk about commitment to the cause!

Seeing young dogs so happy, relaxed, and full of confidence at the vets truly melts our hearts. It’s what we strive for every day, making visits feel like a treat, not a trial 💜
