Registered veterinary nurse Maria Fox, who holds the ISFM certificate in Feline Nursing, is the dedicated ‘cat whisperer’, and uses her understanding of the unique needs of cats to ensure the highest standards of healthcare and welfare are met.
There are separate medical, surgical, and ICU wards for dogs and cats, including a cat-only isolation ward for any infectious patients, and oxygen therapy kennels.
Each kennel boasts its own ‘cat castle’ with turrets to climb and cosy hideaways where pets can be comfortable and feel safe, with quiet soothing sounds playing in wards in the background.
