🐾FOUND KITTY🐾

We have had a tabby/tortie female cat brought into us this morning, found deceased on High Street, near Pomare shops.

She doesn’t have a microchip, and appears to be an adult kitty. She also looks to have been well fed, so we are sure she has a family.

If you think you know who her family could be please contact us on 04 563 6826.

📰Extra! Extra! Read all about it!📰

We are running low on newspaper, which we use on a daily basis 🐾📰
If you’ve got extra newspapers lying around, we’d LOVE to give them a second life.
If you have any you can spare, drop it off to our reception during our opening hours, we’d really appreciate it!

☀️ MEET THE TEAM TUESDAY ☀️

We’re excited to welcome the newest member to the team, Dr Erin! 🎉

Erin is a BVSc-qualified veterinarian who graduated at the end of 2021 and joined our team at the beginning of this year. Her favourite part of being a vet is all the cute animal cuddles on a daily basis—closely followed by performing soft tissue surgery. 🩺

Erin has always had a soft spot for animals and is kept busy at home with her adorable dog Scout and three cats, Jet, Pepper, and Soot. Outside of the clinic Erin keeps active, enjoying running, power lifting, hiking, netball, and horse riding, with hopes to get back into eventing in the future. 🐴 🏋🏼‍♀️
