Anyone dreamt of doing an amazing job with animals, but not just any animals…CATS!! Job alert 📣

I used to be a VCA and it was such an amazing job. I actually cried on my way to work because it was a dream come true. And with a small close-knit team the value you get from working together will make your experience POP! I know this team too. So yeah, maybe a little bias, but still that just means I know they’re great people who care deeply, and that’s the truth.

I loved my VCA job, back when it was my first animal related job, and it gave me skills I still use today. Yup, when I’m caring for your kitty the little VCA in me is also there checking my skills over and making sure I’m working not just for the grooming but for the health as well

Give it a go. They don’t bite 😉

June is National Microchipping Month!

Did you know microchipping is now a legal requirement for cats in the UK? More importantly, it’s their ticket home if they ever go missing.

Why microchip?
• It's a quick, simple procedure, that lasts a lifetime.
• About the size of a grain of rice.
• Unlike collars, it can't fall off.
• Indoor cats too: Escapes happen unexpectedly! 🐾

Your checklist from us this month:
•Check details: Are your current phone number and address linked to the chip?
• Get chipped: Book an appointment if your cat isn't chipped yet.

If you need to book or have any questions, contact the clinic today!💜

National Microchipping Month

It’s not only a really good idea to ensure the safety of your cat and to minimise your stress when they’ve not come home, but it’s also ILLEGAL to not have your kitty microchipped.

It’s a simple procedure. Ensure you use a professional who is trained. Why not complete a whole health package and get kitty chipped and checked at the same time by your vet.
