Unfortunately a sad post this morning. A member of the public found a deceased cat by the barge and bottle this morning. A large female light tabby and white with a yellow collar. She is microchipped but the details aren’t registered. Please contact us on here or on 01529 414525.

🔥It's going to be hot for the next few days!

❄️Here are some tips for keeping your cat cool:

💧Make sure there is plenty of fresh water available both inside and outside of the house. Try offering water in different types of containers to see what your cat's preference is.

🌳Make sure there are plenty of shaded areas outside. Garden furniture, large plant pots, trees and bushes all provide good shade.

📦Cardboard boxes also provide shade and can be left out on their side for your cat to use as shelter from the sun.

❄️Place cooling mats in beds and areas where your cat might like to sleep, these are available in most pet stores and online.

💧Make some tuna water (not brine) or liquid treat ice lollies for your cat to lick.

❄️Place some ice cubes made from tuna water or unseasoned meat broth in your cats water to keep them cool and encourage them to drink.

🌞Keep your cat out of conservatories and out of the midday sun where possible.

🐾 Be especially careful with the older cats who may be less able to move to cooler areas of the house or garden.

🐈Long haired cats are particularly susceptible to overheating , so should be monitored and given access to cool areas to rest out of the sun.

🐈Make sure white cats or those with pink skin on their ears or nose are kept out of the sun, and use pet friendly sun block as they are more prone to sun burn

🐈Reduce playtime, especially with kittens as they are more likely to overheat.

⚠️If you have more than one cat, make sure they all have easy access to their own water and shaded resting areas, plus a spare.

What do you do to make sure your cats stay cool in the summer? 🐱

Lenny spent the night at the out of hours vets and then spent the day with us on his drip, after eating an impressive 13 grapes!!!

Even one grape can be poisonous to dogs and cats so it’s important to act fast and seek veterinary attention just like Lenny’s owners did!

Luckily Lenny is back to his normal puppy self and we enjoyed having lots of cuddles and kisses 🐶

We had the pleasure of looking after this gorgeous boy Kilo. He enjoyed his cuddles, isn’t he sweet!

Just two weeks to go until Tom Burston, Sam Vause and I take on a huge challenge in memory of my son Oliver, who died aged 22 months in May 2023.
150km in 2 days!

All worth it in support of raising money for MPS Society UK, here for those with rare diseases and Acorns Children's Hospice

If you can donate even just a little amount we would be so grateful.

Thank you and wish us good luck!

Weʼre raising money to Support Acorns Children’s Hospice and the MPS Society in memory of Ollie.. Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.

Fawn is one of our regular patients, after being diagnosed with IMHA and needing multiple blood transfusions she is still delighted to come and see us and have treats.

IMHA (immune mediated haemolytic anaemia) is a condition that causes the body to break down its own red blood cells causing severe anaemia.

We are so glad Fawn is doing well and we love it when she comes to visit, she makes her way around the practice saying hello to everyone. 🩷

Kitten season is well underway and our vets, nurses and volunteers are working hard to hand rear lots of babies already.

This highlights the importance of neutering cats because although these guys are super cute they are hard to home.

There are many pregnant and stray cats coming into care and the charities are overrun.

Gandalf spent the morning with us to have some of his knots combed out. He loved the comb and all the attention 🐱
