Hey friends! 💕
Our team at Petfirst Veterinary Havelock North is gathering some oddly specific (but super helpful!) items to keep our furry patients comfy during their visits and recovery.

We’re currently seeking:

Baby – 5yr socks — perfect for keeping little toe beans warm during procedures

Baby suits and 5–10yr shirts — these help protect our fur kids while they recover

Small blankets — ideal for wrapping them up snug while they rest

These donations make a huge difference to their comfort and care.
You can drop items to us at Petfirst (look for our new sign!). Everything will be washed before use.

Thanks team — your kindness helps our animals feel safe, warm, and loved. 🐾🫶
