Adoption: It’s Not Just for Pets. You belong together. Now’s the time to make it happen. https://thepeteffect.org/

My kitty wasn't feeling well and I knew something was wrong.
I went to VMSG and they used a special little camera scope called an endoscope to figure out what was happening in there. If you have a tummy problem, you might need a special doctor called an Internal Medicine Specialist. Thanks VMSG OC!

Lilies don't belong in a home where there are cats. Ingestion of any part of the lily can send a kitty in to kidney failure. Keep kitties safe by never brining a lily in your home. If your kitty were to ever be exposed to lily toxicity- such as playing with that fun looking yellow part, or biting any part of the plant, seek professional veterinary care IMMEDIATELY!
Call us anytime if you have a question regarding lily toxicity: 949.201.4100
