Hi everyone,

A ginger cat has been brought into our clinic after being found near the horse paddocks in Rototuna North. Sadly, he has passed away.

If you are missing a ginger desexed and microhipped male cat, please contact us on 07 855 5655 or visit us at our clinic on North City Road.

If your cat has any identifying features, please let us know so we can help confirm.

He is unfortunately not registered on NZCAR or on the CareVets database which can help us locate owners almost immediately.

We’re very sorry for anyone affected by this.

🐾 What is a desexing tattoo in a cat? 🐾

In New Zealand, a desexing tattoo is a small, permanent mark placed on a cat’s ear at the time they are desexed (spayed or castrated).

🔹 Why is it important?
The ear tattoo allows vets, rescues, and animal control officers to instantly identify that a cat has already been desexed even from a distance or if no medical history is available.

🔹 What are the benefits?
✔ Prevents unnecessary repeat surgery
✔ Helps stray and owned cats be identified as desexed
✔ Supports responsible pet ownership and population control

🔹 Does it hurt?
No-the tattoo is done while your cat is under general anaesthetic during their desexing surgery.

Desexing ear tattoos are a quick, safe, and widely used identification method for cats across New Zealand 🐱🇳🇿 If you’d like more information about desexing or ear tattoos, our team is happy to help!

☀️ Hot cars are dangerous for pets 🐾

Even on mild days, temperatures inside cars can rise quickly and cause heat stress or heat stroke in just minutes. Cracked windows and short errands don’t make it safe.

If you can’t take your pet with you, it’s always kinder to leave them at home where they’re cool and comfortable.

If you’re worried a pet may have overheated, seek veterinary care immediately!!

Holiday Pet Safety Tip: Christmas Trees & Decorations

Christmas decorations look fun… especially to curious pets!
Keep them safe with a few simple precautions:
✨ Secure your tree so it can’t be knocked over
✨ Avoid tinsel-it can cause serious gut blockages if eaten
✨ Keep baubles, lights, and cords out of reach
✨ Don’t let pets drink Christmas tree water (it can contain preservatives)
