Heading for 12th August!

The builders are installing the cupboards today. Soon the floor coverings will be down, the painting done and, yes, Daisy, Canberra Cat Vet will throw open its doors after 3 long years of planning!  
Who will be the first feline to check us out? Watch this space!
(and phone reception at Hall Vet Surgery on 6230 2223 if you have a 'poser' cat who would love to be the celebrated one!)

Recovery ward in progress

At the new Canberra Cat Vet Hospital we will watch your cat every step of the way from sedation for a procedure until it's time to go home.
Behind the glass your cat is snug and private and does not see what is going on in the rest of the hospital - but we can see any sign of discomfort or anxiety and respond immediately.
The builders have installed our windows - next step the floor!

Angry cat

Jacque soaking up the little Canberra sun we had this week

Jacque has a little trouble with anger management. When a stray cat wanders into his domain he gets very worked up.
If people appear when he is one of his tempers he may attack them, inflicting nasty scratches.
He displaces his anger with the cat onto people.
Fortunately his carers came and discussed the problem with us and we instituted some preventative strategies. He is now a lot more laid back - and less scarey to his human companions. 
Additionally they use Feliway to make him feel safer and more comfortable. Initially, we also gave him some drugs to help him manage his anger.
Everyone is much happier!
