PLEASE HELP 🙏

We have two beautiful adolescent kittens (approx 18 weeks of age) and 2 adult cats who are all DESPERATE for their homes 🫶🏻🥺

The two kittens are extremely sociable, healthy, desexed, chipped, vaccinated, wormed, flea treated, the works. They are GREAT with kids (see our story for more!) and dogs and would be perfect family pets.

The two adults (both females) are also extremely sweet but would be more suited as adult companions or with experienced cat 🐈‍⬛ lovers. They are also completely up to date with all necessary treatments and vaccines.

If you would like more info, or to meet these please DM or call us on 32077325 💖🫶🏻💖

🐢🫶🏻 Turtle Release Success! 🫶🏻🐢

You might remember our post about the 9 precious turtle eggs hatched by Nurse Kasey and her incredible family… well, look at them now! 🥹💚

These little have grown up strong and healthy, and were officially ready to be released into our property’s protected dam! 🌿

Our team was lucky enough to meet them before release, and thank Sandy & David from the Knight Family for their amazing dedication to these babies. 💚

Nurse Bee, PM Abbey, and Dr Gail supervised the release, and it was pure magic — the turtles were SO excited to explore their new home! 🐢✨

Dr Gail has been keeping a close eye on them post-release, and they’re thriving. 🌱💦

A true team effort — and a beautiful example of the love and care our crew (and their families!) have for all animals, great and small. 💫

⚠️ Why We Don’t Recommend ‘Early Finish’ Puppy Vaccinations

It’s 🐶 and we’re addressing the recent push for early finish vaccinations in puppies.

Puppies usually get 3 vaccines starting at 6–8 weeks, spaced 4 weeks apart, with the final dose ideally at 16 weeks or later. Why? Maternal antibodies can interfere with vaccine effectiveness, sometimes up to 20 weeks of age.

Vaccinating too early may leave puppies unprotected. There’s no way to know exactly when maternal antibodies wear off, so a full 3-dose schedule ensures protection for all puppies.

Studies show vaccination failure is highest when the final dose is before 16 weeks. Both the WSAVA and AVA recommend completing the full course. In many cases, we even go one step further by recommending and upholding the latest WSAVA guidelines which recommend a booster vaccination at 6 months of age for completeness 🫶🏻

At REDVET, we don’t support early finish vaccines. While convenient, the risks are too high—especially with diseases like parvovirus still common.

Questions? Reach out—we’re always here to help keep your healthy 💖

Guess who’s back and bossier than ever? That’s right— our own Harry Potter 🧙

Recently, our pint-sized drama king gave us a scare with signs of severe colic. He was rushed to WestVETS Equine Hospital for emergency abdominal surgery, where the team discovered a rare surprise: an enterolith—a stone-like mass lodged in his small colon, wrapped around a calcified hair.

Enteroliths are extremely rare in horses this young, but Harry doesn’t do anything halfway. Thanks to quick action and expert surgery, the stone is out and he’s now on the mend, recovering under the close watch of Nurse Jenna and Dr. David (one of the original pioneers of equine colic surgery here at Redlands). This is major abdominal surgery and with our equine hospital downsizing, we knew the best place for Harry would be with the expert team West Vets. We thank them so much for their excellent care and communication as they worked to save Harry’s life.

His recovery comes with risks, but our team is tackling each one with care, using gold-standard protocols for gastrointestinal healing. And Harry? He’s already giving side-eye from Stall 3 and making sure everyone stays on task.

Huge thanks to the entire team who helped save this feisty little soul. Harry’s still got a road ahead, but with his resilience (and attitude), we’re hopeful 🤞

PLEASE share and help us find this beautiful girl a new home 🫶🏻💖💟

She was surrendered due to a sad change in owner circumstance, and is desperate for a second chance in life.

This beautiful cat is playful, affectionate and quirky in that wonderful feline way. She is not bothered by loud noises and dogs, but is NOT a huge fan of small children or babies.

Ideally suited to a single pet/adult household but would likely settle in with other pets if need be.

Very healthy, and we have vaccinated, desexed and brought her up to date on all necessary preventative health measures 💟
