We are proud to announce our Hamilton clinic has just received a Silver Cat Friendly accreditation, making them the only clinic in Hamilton who has this accreditation as well as BESTPRACTICE. 🎉 🎉 🎉

The cat-friendly clinic is a worldwide programme from the International Society of Feline Medicine. There are certain requirements regarding the design, equipment, and facilities within the clinic, as well as the standard of care for cats, that must be met to achieve accreditation. 💙

We recognise that, because of their unique nature and needs, a cat's visit to the veterinary clinic can be very stressful for both cats and owners. The Cat-Friendly Clinic programme is designed to help address these issues, reducing stress for cats and making veterinary visits easier for cat owners. 🐱

Our team have worked incredibly hard to get this accreditation, congratulations Hamilton! 💙🐾

We have extended the time to enter. Judging will happen on the 15th of December now so there is still plenty of time to create a masterpiece for our cattery 🐾💙

Calling all little artists! 🎨

We’re looking to brighten up our cattery and need your help! Draw an A4 picture of your cat (or your dream cat!) and drop your artwork back into the Clinic.

We’ll be choosing our favourite drawings on 31st October 2025, and the winners will have their masterpieces proudly displayed on the front of our cattery doors. Winners will also receive a prize for your pet. 🐶🐱

Get creative – we can’t wait to see your designs! 💙

E. coli has been detected in water in Flagstaff, Rototuna, and Queenwood. This isn’t just a risk for people — your pets are at risk too! 🐶🐱

✅ What to do:

Boil your pets’ water before giving it to them.

Consider using bottled or filtered water until the water is safe again.

Keep an eye on your pets for any signs of illness (vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy) and contact your vet if concerned.

Stay safe and keep your furry friends healthy! 💧❤️
