Just to give you all a happy update on a Sunday 🐱

We really appreciate all the shares and comments on our last post about the 5 dumped cats… well they are all getting a happy ending 😍
Our Leeds Cats Protection branch have very kindly agreed to take them all in tomorrow (we were waiting for kennel space as they are very busy). Under their care we have already started to health test them all and they will then be neutered, flea/worm treated and vaccinated, ready to go to new homes!

Their page is Leeds Cat Centre with a website link if you are interested in rehoming, or to make a donation for the fantastic service and care they provide 💜

We will miss these cuties 🥰

⚠️ Vomiting
⚠️ Diarrhoea
⚠️ Weakness
⚠️ Jaundice

Up-to-date vaccinations are the best way to keep your pets safe.

Another Halloween lover stopped by today! This is Teddy, a gorgeous Pomeranian who came disguised as a bat! 😍

He’s the fluffiest bat we’ve ever seen! 🐕

Everyone meet Cobweb 🕸️

He is the grand old age of 19 and has been battling gastrointestinal lymphoma for the past 8 months.

We are amazed that he has been doing so well and feel he deserves to be in the spot-light!

It’s only right for him to be in his Halloween outfits for his photos, as his name suits the spooky season 😍🎃🕷️

✔️ Fact: Regular boosters are essential throughout their lives to maintain protection.

Just like us humans, pets require regular vaccinations to stay safe from harmful diseases.

Here’s a handy reminder of the vaccination schedules for cats, dogs, and rabbits.
