The sad tale of Bubbles with a happy ending!

Dr. Alex Melrose - Wednesday, February 15, 2012

We all know how difficult things can get over the Christmas period and many cats and dogs are dumped by uncaring owners but it is nice to hear a story with a happy ending.

Bubbles is a 6 week old female tabby and white kitten. She was brought in by a member of the public who had seen a car go over the top of her when she was out on the road. She managed to escape with her life but unfortunately had sustained a broken left
shoulder. She was also very thin, had cat flu and was riddled with with fleas and worms. She later developed ringworm as well! Read more

Case Study - Dino - a very lucky cat!

Dr. Alex Melrose - Wednesday, August 10, 2011

About 2 weeks after being in the cattery one of our nurses went down to give the cats a bit of extra attention before we closed on Saturday morning. She was horrified to find Dino flat out on his side struggling to breathe. Read more

Testimonials

I wanted to express my thanks to all the care you have provided over the years and I know that Katie had found a special place in your hearts. She never objected to her visits with you in fact I often wondered whether she secretly looked forward to all the fuss that you lavished on her.
