🐱 * Please share - Stray cat * 🐱

We've had a stray cat brought to the Hady branch this afternoon from the Brampton area. The finder reports he's been hanging around for a little while now and while is does have a chip, it appears the details are out of date.

Please share and help us get this fella home!

*Proof of ownership will be required*

📢 Did you know that a flea can live from between 14 days to one year and a female can lay up to 50 eggs in one day – that’s 1500 in a lifetime!

We believe preventative treatment is the best course of action for fleas, ticks and worms, that’s why we include year-round treatment for cats and dogs in our Pet Health for Plan.

Signs that your pet might have fleas:

🐶🐱 excessive scratching
🐶🐱 small red bumps or bite marks
🐶🐱 hair loss or dry skin from scratching
🐶🐱 tiny black specks in fur, bedding or furniture.

If you’re looking for something to entertain the kids this half term, why not get them involved in National Children’s Gardening week and complete a project that will help to improve your garden’s biodiversity all year round?

You could build a mini meadow with some wildflower seeds in a planter - add a little water dish so bees have somewhere to rehydrate – or you could build a bee and bug hotel as in this guide from The Wildlife Trust.

Make sure to put your projects somewhere any interested pets can’t disturb them, or insects may be put off using them!
