Meet Pia.

She is an 8 yr old spayed DSH tabby with white paws who is looking for her forever home. She is super cuddly and friendly and likes to sleep with owners and sit in laps.

Very quiet and demure and very good at the vet. She can be nervous in new environments so a quiet, calm home would be needed.

She is up to date on vaccines.

Pia has a gastrointestinal health issue that her elderly owners are unable to handle--she is currently defecating outside her litterbox. This issue is under investigation in that she may have a food intolerance causing this, it is possible she may need to be on a special diet going forward. She is currently on anxiety medication because she is between homes. She has been well-loved and cared for, but she needs special help from a patient, understanding owner with the resources to care for her. If you think you may be able to give this girl a home--or even foster her--please email [email protected] with her name in the title.

Dear Feline Hospital Clients,

Dr. Ternes and Dr. Lewis both avidly pursue continuing education on the latest in cat medicine to better serve our patients. As such, they will both be attending the annual American Association of Feline Practitioners conference this week. Both doctors will be gone from Wednesday through Sunday. The wonderful Dr. Ricketts will be filling in on Friday. As such, the office will have special hours this week:

Wednesday: CLOSED
Thursday: 9-4, nurses only (no doctor on duty)
Friday: 9-5

If you have urgent medical concerns for your cat on Thursday, you may call the office and a nurse will triage your call and may recommend urgent care/ER referral. We thank you for your understanding!

Dear Feline Hospital Clients,

We are in the process of changing online pharmacies. We have listened to the feedback we received about our previous online pharmacy and have decided to partner with Covetrus for our online pharmacy needs. This should be a smooth transition--you will receive a welcome email, and Covetrus has a lot of opportunities for savings. We will also be able to prescribe compounded medications from our online pharmacy as well!

This should streamline your ability to get your cat's medications shipped directly to your home at a reasonable cost and a faster turnaround time. We appreciate your patience during the transition!

This handsome, shy boy is looking for a home! For your consideration, Tobias, hailing from the streets of Peabody. He is 2 years old, neutered and UTD on vaccines.

This perfect gentleman was once clearly in a home but somehow found himself abandoned and alone, depending on the kindness of strangers. One of these amazing strangers asked us if we could help and well, who could say no to that face?

Toby has since been taken into foster care with a TFH team member, where he is now safe and sound. All the newfound adoration has allowed him to flourish. He loves his foster parents, tummy rubs and biscuiting his bed.

He is still a nervous boy with new people, learning how to trust again but never angry, just shy. A patient quiet adult home is a must.

If you're interested in meeting Toby, please go to https://palscats.org/ and click adopt, adoption application from the menu on the top right.

the next Grief Support Meeting is on Wednesday August 6th! See info below. There is no cost or commitment, you can come once, or once a month, and you can pop in and out during the open hours (7-8:30pm).

The Feline Hospital will be hosting a Companion Animal Loss Grief Support Group (for clients only--but if you've ever had a kitty with us you are a client!) on the first Wednesday every month from 7:00pm-8:30pm. This group will be facilitated by Margaret Hall, one of our incredible and compassionate veterinary nurses who has been certified as an Animal Chaplain and Companion Animal End-of-Life Doula. Please check out the information below for more details and how to register.

It doesn't matter how fresh or old the grief is, you are still welcome.
You don't have to do this alone.
