Did you know our CPSV Vet Clinic now offers GapOnly®?

Great news for cat parents with pet insurance!

Our Cat Only; Cat Friendly Vet Clinic now offers GapOnly®, helping to take some of the financial stress out of caring for your feline family member.

Rather than paying the full vet bill upfront and waiting for your pet insurer to reimburse you, GapOnly® allows eligible pet insurance customers to pay only the gap – the difference between the vet bill and the amount covered by your insurance.

✅ Less money to pay upfront
✅ No waiting for reimbursement on approved claims
✅ More convenience when your cat needs veterinary care

Because looking after your cat's health should be as stress-free as possible!

Ask our friendly Vet Clinic team about GapOnly® when booking your next appointment.

Before October — and all things Victorian Seniors Month — officially comes to a close, we wanted to give a little extra love to our older feline friends.

The team at houseandcat.com.au has shared a lovely article about why senior cats make such wonderful companions and why they are so deserving of a second chance.

If you’ve ever shared your home with an older cat, you’ll know just how much love, personality, comfort and companionship they can bring.

Have a read — and if you’re lucky enough to be the hoo-man of a senior cat, what would you add to the list?

Pop your thoughts in the comments below. We’d love to hear them!

Our Nurture & Enrichment Hub has its first residents!

With the very generous support of Royal Canin and our incredible cat-loving community, on International Cat Day we proudly opened the doors to our Nurture & Enrichment Hub — a dedicated sanctuary created especially for shy, timid and unsure cats who find the hustle and bustle of the adoption shelter simply too overwhelming.

Here, cats are given something incredibly valuable: time, quiet and space to just be themselves.

With tailored care, gentle one-on-one interaction and enrichment designed around their individual needs, our goal is to help these cats build confidence at their own pace — and ultimately reduce their average length of stay by up to 50%.

Not only is this a kinder experience for cats who need a little extra support, it also means we can create capacity within our adoption shelter to help even more cats and kittens who need us.

And now, the Hub is officially becoming a home.

Last week, our very first residents moved in — with some of their early exploring captured by our in-Hub CCTV cameras!

🐾 Zaen
🐾 Windsor
🐾 Owen
🐾 Gus

Over the coming months, we look forward to introducing you to these special cats and sharing their journeys as they settle in, grow in confidence and, hopefully, take those all-important steps towards finding loving homes of their own.

To Royal Canin and every single person who donated, supported and helped bring this special space to life — a heartfelt thank you. 💛

This Hub exists because you cared. Now, the real journey begins.

7+ and Fabulous

So, if your much-loved feline is 7+, October is the purrfect time to book their next check-up.

Planning to adopt this long weekend?

While our Adoption Shelter is open right across the long weekend, if you’re specifically hoping to adopt a kitten, it may be best to ‘paws’ for a few more weeks when we expect to see a higher number of kittens becoming available.

As is often the case at this time of year, the majority of cats currently waiting for homes are teenage, adult and senior cats — many of whom are shy, cautious or just a little unsure of the world around them.

They are no less deserving of a loving home.

They simply need someone special who comes prepared with plenty of patience, a gentle approach and a willingness to let their new four-legged family member set the pace.

For the right person, watching a timid cat slowly learn to trust, relax and realise they are finally safe can be incredibly rewarding.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to see you this weekend.

🐱 Friday: 10am–3pm
🐱 Saturday: 10am–4pm
🐱 Sunday: 10am–3pm

Walk-ins are welcome.

Come and meet the beautiful cats currently waiting patiently for someone to choose them. ❤️
