CURIOUS KITTY!

This is adorable Lucky who came in to stay with us recently for a procedure. We settled him into our quiet cat ward with lots of cosy blankets and put on some soothing classical music to help him relax. Lucky looked so chilled, we were going to get a pic of him snoozing, but as soon as we went into cat ward, he was up to say hello and looking for a snuggle! We particularly like the shot of him going to nuzzle the camera!

PETPLAN AWARDS 2025

It was an exciting night at Excel London last night as people from across the UK veterinary industry gathered for the 26th annual Petplan Awards. A black tie event, guests arrived to a champagne reception and music from a live band before moving through to a three course dinner, the awards presentations and further evening entertainment. Comedian Josh Widdicome was our compere for the night!

There were five awards, and our Lead Receptionist Angie was runner up on the night in the Support Staff of the Year category. To be one of only three chosen finalists for this award from across the whole of the UK is spectacular, especially considering an immense 41, 693 nominations were submitted for this year’s Petplan Awards! Fantastic and very well deserved recognition, Angie, as a Petplan 2025 Finalist. We’re really proud of you!

GOOD LUCK ANGIE!

We are keeping our fingers and toes crossed today for our Lead Receptionist Angie as she heads to London as a finalist in this year’s prestigious Petplan Awards. Now in their 26th year, the awards are designed to highlight the great work that goes on in practices across the UK on a daily basis to keep pets healthy and owners happy.

Each year, clients and vet staff are invited to submit nominations for teams and individuals they feel deserve special recognition. This year Petplan received over 41,000 submissions across their five award categories! A huge thank you to everyone who voted for us and for your own individual practice champions!

Finalists are selected by a panel of judges, and Angie is one of three shortlisted candidates in Petplan’s Support Staff of the Year category. A fantastic and very well deserved achievement. Winners will be announced at a glamorous black tie gala dinner tonight. We’re super excited for you Angie, and can’t wait to hear how you get on!

COMFY ON CAT WARD

Meet stunning Ragdolls Max and Filo who were in this week for neutering. The 4 month old kittens are firm friends and kept each other company in our cat ward and looked super snuggly!

Did you know we assess all our feline inpatients on their emotional wellbeing whilst on ward, to ensure visits to the vets are as comfortable and stress free as possible for each individual? We keep charts by each kennel for emotional wellbeing checks so can monitor and respond to any change accordingly. These two look very chilled tucked up on their blankets – and teddy does too!

WE DID IT!

A massive thank you to all clients, colleagues, friends and family who have sponsored us for our Active October Challenge. 10 of us at 387 Vets and The West Midlands Cat Clinic set out to cover 700 miles and raise £700 (£1 for every mile) for the brilliant charity Vetlife over the course of the month.

We hit our mileage goal on 30th October, and are absolutely thrilled, with your help, to have raised an incredible £935!

In an industry that can be a real emotional rollercoaster, your donations will help Vetlife offer vital support to colleagues struggling with their mental health.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Our Lead Nurse Cody is running nursing consults in cat clinic today and has dressed up for Halloween! Spot the real kitten!
Whilst Halloween and the fireworks season can be fun for us humans, it can be a scary time for our feline friends. Here are some top tips from the charity International Cat Care to help keep your cat safer.

Keep cats inside after dark if you can, and provide cosy hiding places. Make sure windows are closed and cat flaps are locked and pop the TV or some calming music on to help muffle the sound of any fireworks or bangers. Make sure your cat’s microchip details are up to date incase they do slip out and go off to hide.

Chocolate and some sweets can be toxic to cats so keep out of reach.

Try using electric or battery-powered candles in place of those with a naked flame to prevent singed whiskers and paws or a candle accidentally being knocked over by an inquisitive paw or passing tail.

Keep glow sticks away from cats as their fluorescent contents can make them sick if ingested.

Here’s an interesting Halloween idea: Did you know that you can turn leftover clean and unseasoned pumpkins into a low calorie treat for cats? International Cat Care suggest roasting, steaming or boiling bite-sized pieces of pumpkin flesh, cooling them and offering to your cat. Us owners can share too!

FINAL PUSH FOR VETLIFE FUNDRAISER

Huge thanks to everyone who has supported us so far on our October fundraiser for Vetlife. The charity provides mental health and financial support to individuals struggling to cope in an industry where, very sadly, vets are 3-4 times more likely than the general population to die by su***de.

11 of the 387 Vets & West Midlands Cat Clinic Team have put on their trainers in a bid to cover 700 miles this October and we'd love to raise a pound for every mile. So far we've covered 644 miles and we've raised £615. We're very nearly there! If you'd like to help us reach the magic £700, please click on the Just Giving link below to donate. We'll be putting on our trainers after work this week to hit that 700 miles. Go team!

GREAT PERK OF THE JOB!

This is stunning British Short Hair Bruno who was in to see Hamish recently for his vaccinations. We love meeting your feline friends and spending time interacting with them and getting to know them. And sometimes we get to cuddle big teddy-bear-like cats like amazing 7.5kg Bruno too!

WINNERS OF BVA WELLBEING AWARD

Our Practice Manager Rachel and RVN Alanna had an exciting day yesterday as they attended the British Veterinary Association (BVA) Awards hosted at their London headquarters. The BVA present a small number of awards each year recognising excellence in the UK veterinary sphere. The portfolio includes their Wellbeing Award to highlight inspirational practices that prioritise the wellbeing of their employees through a range of creative approaches. We were absolutely thrilled that 387 Vets (and The West Midlands Cat Clinic) were announced as winner of this year’s BVA Wellbeing Award in the large vet practice category (over 25 employees).

The award was presented by BVA President Dr Rob Williams, for our open communication strategy. He made particular reference to our accountability toolkit for respectfully challenging behaviours that don’t meet our agreed practice values as being “really impressive.”

Wellbeing remains a hot topic in the veterinary industry and initiatives that were innovative 10 years ago are now more of an expected norm. To be recognised at such a prestigious level for our ongoing investment in new ways to make work better feels incredible.

FUNDRAISING FOR A GREAT CAUSE

Looking after our wellbeing and mental health remains a hot topic in the veterinary world as the industry continues to experience significantly higher levels of su***de and depression than the general population.

This World Mental Health Day, we’d like to raise awareness about a fundraising challenge members of the 387 & West Midlands Cat Clinic team are currently undertaking in support of mental health charity Vetlife. Vetlife works to ensure that people in the veterinary community are aware of signposts to the right help if anxious, overwhelmed and struggling to cope. They fully fund their own 24/7 helpline, have a dedicated Health Support Team, and offer financial aid, on application, to members of the veterinary community struggling to make ends meet.

11 members of our team are currently participating in Vetlife’s ‘Active October’ campaign. Our target is to cover 700 miles this month through exercise, and we’re aiming to raise a pound for every mile!

If you’d like to support us, please click on the link below to access our just giving page. Your donation will help to make things better for someone struggling with their mental health.

CENTRE OF ATTENTION!

We love it when our furry visitors make themselves at home in cat clinic consults. Meet Dozee who came in to see our vet Jen Jen for a health check yesterday. The 14 year old decided to settle down by Jen Jen’s computer keyboard – we wonder if she was thinking about helping Jen Jen to type up her clinical notes!

RECEPTION TEAM AT BVRA CONGRESS

We love supporting our team with their professional development and bringing new ideas back into practice. Last week, our receptionists Clare and Emma attended the British Veterinary Receptionist Association (BVRA) Congress in Solihull for a full day of lectures specifically designed for veterinary receptionist growth and support. The diverse range of presentation topics included overcoming subtle communication pitfalls, elevating the client experience beyond the reception desk, supporting neurodivergent colleagues and clients, wildlife emergencies and being a rabbit friendly veterinary receptionist. Clare and Emma had a great first BVRA Congress experience and came back buzzing with feedback. We look forward to continuing to improve our service to you and your furry friends!
