We are now closed for the Bank Holiday weekend.

And whilst we're all hoping to enjoy some of this rare natural Vitamin D source 😎, the lovely Pepper would like to remind you that cats are not as fond of the warmer weather as we are!

Make sure they have plenty of water, whether that's through fountains, bowls, or whatever clear water source they usually like. You could add ice cubes into water fountains to keep it cooler for longer.
Encourage them to play in the shaded areas rather than in direct sunlight
Cool mats are also a great addition for cats to lie and relax on
Make sure they don't get trapped in warm areas such as conservatories
And creamy treats are a great treat to freeze, as well as the spring water from a tuna tin

Sending our best wishes for the weekend, and we're open again on Tuesday at 8:30am

🎉😻 Today we are celebrating 17 years of us! 😻🎉

It was 17 years ago today that Sarah, Paul and Caroline opened the doors to this new unknown adventure.... a feline-only vet clinic in the North East. It's quite an achievement for a small, independent vet clinic, not to mention one that's only for cats!

In typical vet fashion we didn't get a chance for a lunch-break catch-up or even to grab a cuppa together as planned, but we managed to all be in the same room at one point for some photos with the epic cakes that our Reception team made for us 🎂💙 How amazing do they look! 🧁
The jury is out on who can stomach the "cat litter tray" cake 💩. At least one of those cats definitely needs to see a vet!

Thank you, as always, to our wonderful clients who entrust us to care for your cats.

Here's to the next 17 years!
