We have had this adorable kitten handed in to us as a stray after being found looking rather lost in the Langham area. Unfortunately they are not microchipped so we are unable to easily return them home! The kitten is incredibly tame and friendly which makes us believe they do have a home who is likely missing them very much! If you believe this kitten to be yours please contact the practice (proof of ownership will be required). In the mean time they are being kept safe, fed, watered and very comfortable in our air conditioned cat ward!

*SCAM MICROCHIP COMPANY*

We have been made aware by a few client’s that there has been an email circling from a company claiming to be a microchip database. The email states that their pets microchips are not registered and then charging a fee for them to be ‘registered’. This company is a scam and the microchips are not being registered anywhere.

If you receive this email and have any queries about whether your pet’s microchip is registered to the correct place please contact the practice and one of the nurses will be happy to assist with this.

We have very sadly just had a deceased female tuxedo (black with white chest and abdomen) cat handed in following an RTA in Sible Hedingham at the Halstead junction just up from Wash Farm. Unfortunately she is not microchipped. Sadly she has also got milk but on palpation not currently pregnant meaning she likely has kittens somewhere. If you think this is your cat please contact us. This sad situation really highlights the importance of neutering and microchipping cats.

This has to be one of the most amazing re‑design (from an old doll's house) projects we’ve ever seen — all created by Debbie, our talented Vet Nurse, in her spare time. Her attention to detail is phenomenal, and we just had to share it with you. It’s not even fully finished yet, but when she brought it in today, we were absolutely blown away. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it.
