Even better, throughout the rest of the month, get a FREE catnip toy when you update your cat’s wellness services 🐱

Meet ‘Gizmo’! 🤖

Gizmo was found as a stray along with 2 other kittens last month and surrendered to our staff for care. After a week of our team bottle-feeding Gizmo, fate brought ‘Luci’ along. Luci is a 1 year old Domestic Shorthair that was brought in for an emergency c-section, but unfortunately all of her babies were still-born. Upon hearing about the motherless kittens, Luci’s owner offered to foster Gizmo and his siblings. Fortunately, Luci accepted them and began nursing them!

We are so happy to announce that after a few weeks of motherly love from Luci, Gizmo is now up for adoption here at our Newberry location! He has received his first FVRCP vaccine and will have the rest of his boosters as well as his Rabies vaccine and neuter covered by NAH. If you are interested in meeting this sweet bundle of joy, please give us a call at (352) 472-7035 or fill out an adoption application under the ‘Online Forms’ tab at NewberryAnimalHospital.com

Gizmo’s siblings are also available for adoption through Faithful Friends Pet Rescue and Rehoming! Learn more at www.faithfulfriendsrescue.org
