UPDATE: He has been adopted! Thank you Hannes, we wish you all the best with this lovely boy.

This absolutely gorgeous and affectionate young male cat is looking for a new home. He was castrated yesterday. We think he is probably only around 7 months old. His previous owners believed he was heavily pregnant! We can confirm that he wasn't. 😉.
Anyone keen to adopt him can phone us on 043 735 1456.

ACHI GETS THE ALL-CLEAR!! 🎆🟢✅

After a slight delay all Achi's tests have come back and never has a negative been such a positive outcome. 🩷

We have also had an update from Cape Town to say that he has settled in and is doing well in quarantine. We trust that he will be released soon.

She has a home! And a name. Thank you to everyone for all your thoughtful suggestions. We love the meaning behind many of them. Willow, Tessa, Lilith, Phoenix and Vicky (Victory) made it to the short-list, but she has been named Querida! We love the sound of the name, the meaning (darling) and the "Qu" prefix that reminds us of her time spent in quarantine with Achi. Go well, little Querida. 🩷

BRAND NEW START.

We need your help. This little kit-cat was brought in last Monday by Spay A Stray and The Furry Godmother Township & Squattercamp Outreach . Tessa, pictured here, works tirelessly in local townships caring for the pets of the destitute while Spay a Stray does invaluable work sterilising both dogs and cats. This ginger girl was spayed last week, but was one of the patients that was unable to return home owing to our quarantine conditions. Tessa came to collect her this morning with the sad news that she no longer had a home to return to; her owners had decided that they didn't want her anymore.
So we need a new, loving home for her. There will be no adoption fee, but of course we need to ensure that she goes to a caring and responsible home. She is barely out of kittenhood and is playful, engaging and affectionate.We think she would fit into any household. She also needs a name! Please spam us with suggestions...perhaps something that suggests she was part of Achi's saga, and that represents the thousands of local dogs and cats that require rescuing on a daily basis. Anyone that might be interested in adopting her can contact us on 043 735 1456.

A message from Dr Wood:

QUARANTINE LIFTED

At last, we can open and start to offer our services to our clients. Achi left yesterday morning en route to (hopefully) a short stay at a state quarantine facility in Cape Town.

The clinic has been professionally disinfected as a precaution. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those in our community and abroad who have supported us emotionally and materially during what has been a difficult episode.

I would like to emphasise that at no time did I seek to defy the Veterinary Services but having a profound regard for the sanctity of life, sought to do what I considered correct under the circumstances. In this regard I would like to make a special mention of Dr Kim Rosslee for her empathy and absolute professionalism in handling this difficult situation

ACHI HAS LEFT THE BUILDING

Before the first light of dawn this morning Achi embarked on what we hope is going to be the final leg of his voyage of confinement. He will travel straight through to Cape Town to his new quarantine quarters.
We are assured that should all his tests come back negative that Achi will be free to leave quarantine on 5 September. We are keeping fingers and paws crossed that the results will be favourable. Achi is pictured here getting a farewell scratch and cuddle from his true champion, Catherine Prentis, Station Commander of Station 7 of the NSRI. Catherine has been part of Achi's rescue from the beginning to the end and has literally given blood, sweat and tears to ensure that everything possible was done to prevent Achi from being euthanased. When it comes to "having your back", Catherine has Achi's.
We thank her and all the individuals and businesses that have given us such wonderful support over the past 10 days, as well all those out there fighting Achi's fight. 🩷

Footnote. We just need to have the premises disinfected this morning, after which we will be open for normal business. We have contacted the owners of the animals that have been confined here with us and they are in the process of going home to their families.

We came close to losing the battle to save Achi this morning, but he has received his third, and we fervently hope final, stay of ex*****on.
Part of the conditions demanded are that our practice remains under quarantine and closed to all members of the public until Friday 29 August. By that date we are hoping that all the necessary test results will be available.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank the owners of the animals that are on lockdown with us for their patience and understanding. Achi is not the only animal to be affected by this saga. We have 4 dogs and 3 cats they were admitted earlier this week for treatment and procedures that are not able to be sent home.
We also thank all our loyal clients for their support during this challenging ordeal.

Don't forget the importance of your pet's annual vaccination and health check. In addition to preventing common diseases, it is an opportunity for the vet to assess the general welfare of your furry family member. Problems such as dental decay, heart irregularities, enlarged glands and ear infections can be detected and dealt with. It is also an opportunity to discuss any concerns you might have, no matter how small.
