HOMEMADE CAT CLIMBER A WINNER!

This is an amazing cat climber that one of our clients has made for their cat family. Huge thanks for sharing. If you are looking for the perfect valentine’s gift for your feline friend, this could be it! The climbing pole is a fence post covered in sisal rope, bought off the internet, together with 4 brackets. Look at the little cat lounging shelf at the top! Total cost of materials was £45. Much cheaper than buying similar products on the internet and endless entertainment for cats!

WELCOME BACK!

Many of you will have recognised a familiar face back on the 387 and West Midlands Cat Clinic Team! We were delighted to welcome Alanna Ankcorn back in January as a Registered Veterinary Nurse, taking our Registered Veterinary Nursing team to a new total of 10. Alanna first came to 387 Vets in January 2019 on a 3-year Student Veterinary Nurse contract in order to undertake her Level 3 Veterinary Nursing Diploma. Since qualification in 2022, Alanna has gained a huge diversity of nursing experience, working in small animal veterinary nursing most recently as a locum nurse. Positions have included small animal general practice, day and night work in veterinary hospital and referral centre nursing, and not just locally but country-wide. Keen to settle back into a permanent nursing position, Alanna applied for our recent RVN vacancy, and started back with us almost 6 years to the day she arrived as a student nurse! Super proactive, she’s hit the ground running and is already keen to start nutrition ambassador training, clinical coaching training and is a member of our practice eco team. It’s lovely to have you back, Alanna.

SMART KITTEN!

Beautiful Mila came in to see us for her vaccination and microchip appointment looking very smart indeed! The British short haired kitten sported a bow that matched the colour of our West Midlands Cat Clinic decor perfectly! What a super star!

WOW!

Wow! A huge thank you to everyone who donated to our 'Give a Pet a Christmas Dinner' campaign this December. As you can see, we were literally bowled over by the amount of goodies you brought in to practice to support cats and dogs in local shelters waiting for their forever homes. We collected just shy of 600 tins and sachets of wet food, more than our Clinical Director Hamish's weight in dry food, 66 packets of treats, 50 towels and blankets, 66 leads and harnesses and enough toys for 138 pets to have a gift each. That's not to mention coats, pet accessories, bedding, bowls, bandanas, poo bags, puppy pads and more!

All dog donations go to the Coven branch of Birmingham Dogs Home, whilst cat goods are distributed amongst local cat rescue charities. We know recipients will be touched and incredibly grateful for your amazing kindness and generosity. Thank you for sharing the love with pets in need.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Huge congratulations to our Registered Veterinary Nurse Lauren who received her International Society of Feline Medicine Feline Nursing Diploma results yesterday. We are over the moon to announce she passed with distinction!

Completing the ISFM’s Feline Nursing Diploma was no mean feat. The course spanned 16 months and 8 modules and delivered a comprehensive insight into feline physical health and mental wellbeing with a view to making experiences in clinic even more cat friendly. Diploma students are required to study for around 15 hours a week outside work with regular assessment throughout, and all training resources are produced by international cat experts so graduates come away with a brilliant bank of knowledge and lots of tools to use in day to day practice

Lauren joins one of around 200 ISFM Feline Nursing Diploma holders to date. Based primarily in theatre and in hospitalisation areas, we can’t wait for Lauren to share new learning and top tips on how we can continue to improve the clinic experience for felines who come to stay.

EXCITING NEW YEAR!

Happy new year! We hope 2025 has been kind to your and your feline friends so far! This January is a particularly exciting time for our Registered Veterinary Nurse Charlotte as she is expecting a baby, due later this month. Those of us in work on Friday gathered for a celebratory lunch to wish Charlotte well as she heads off on maternity leave.

We can’t wait to meet your little one, Charlotte. It won’t be so very long now until you and your husband become a family of three! Such exciting times ahead!

FESTIVE OPENING HOURS AT THE WEST MIDLANDS CAT CLINIC

It’s hard to believe Christmas is only a couple of days away! Here is our Lead Nurse Cody getting into the Christmas spirit in her festive-themed theatre cap!

Whilst appointments at The West Midlands Cat Clinic end today for Christmas, our interconnecting 387 Veterinary Centre is open on Christmas Eve until 2pm should you need to get in touch. All team are taking well deserved time off on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and open again again as normal on 27th December.

New Year's Eve will follow Christmas Eve with regard to team availability and opening hours and we are closed on New Year's Day. All resumes as normal from 2nd January 2025!

If you have any concerns about your cat's health while we are closed, all registered clients have free access to Vidivet, a 24/7 service offering triage advice from a qualified vet. Great if you have any meds queries or if you are unsure whether your feline friend needs to see a vet urgently. Check out communications from the practice for information on how to access if you haven’t already downloaded the app. The Advice 24/7 page on our website (https://wmcatclinic.co.uk) provides lots of additional information on assessing your cat’s health:

If you do have a pet emergency, please continue to call the practice on 01922 411755 and follow the answer machine instructions.

IT'S DEFINITELY REALLY NEARLY CHRISTMAS!

A huge thank you to our Operations Manager Jo who has made us a beautiful Christmas cake, as she does every year, for the team to tuck into in the final week’s lead up to the big day. Needless to say, the cake no longer looks like this but has already been partially sliced! We wonder whether it will last the duration before we close for Christmas and Boxing Day!

WE CAN SEE YOU!

This is beautiful Arthur who came in for diagnostics and made himself at home in our quiet cat ward! Here he is as we were getting him ready to go home. He didn’t want to leave the litter tray which he’d turned into a cosy bed, and was much more interested in having tickles under his chin!

WE'RE BACK!

We are now all back from our first ever off-site whole team training event! Thank you very much for bearing with us while the practice was closed between 10am and 3pm today to facilitate this. A huge shout out to Gemma from Vet Dynamics, who ran the session on team profiling and communication and how we can best utilise our individual strengths. A great learning event, and we look forward to putting our training into practice in the coming weeks and months.

GOOD JOB PIXIE!

This is beautiful Pixie who came in to see Emma today for a meds and health check. Nine year old Pixie was diagnosed with diabetes earlier this year, and at the beginning of treatment was around 4kg. With careful monitoring and tweaking of his insulin treatment, Pixie is doing brilliantly, has put on 2kg and got a great report at his health check today! Well done Pixie!

The most obvious signs that your cat may be suffering from diabetes are an increased thirst, urinating more frequently and losing weight whilst still having a good appetite. If you notice any of these symptoms please do bring your cat in for a check up. If your cat does have diabetes, we can advise you on how to manage feline diabetes at home and we’re only a phone call away for support.
