The vet that can make your cat less stress

Sitting in his carrier in a busy waiting room, Felix the tortoiseshell moggy cat, was on hyper alert. Two large dogs were eyeballing him only yards away and, normally, he’d be running now, if not confined to his temporary bed, left leg immobile due to a road accident a week ago. His owner Pam is uncomfortably aware that Felix is stressed, but figures that this is the vets and he should now be used to being surrounded by curious canines. She’s unaware that just down the road there’s a cat-only clinic that could be much better for her puss, and her own peace of mind as a cat carer. It’s the London Cat Clinic (thelondoncatclinic.co.uk), based in Bermondsey, which opened its doors in May this year as a response to the concerns of Pam, and other cat owners like her, who are deterred from bringing their pets to the vets because the average practice you encounter on every high street just seems way too dog-centric.
