We ask for contact details so we can regularly update you on progress. We’re happy to talk to any family member but experience has shown us that having a single point of contact over 18 years old, who can relay updates to the family, usually works best for our customers.
We ask for information about your cat’s diet, habits and routines to keep things as familiar as possible.
We will provide you with an estimate for the expected procedures, explain these to you and ask you to sign a consent form.
For non-elective procedures or hospitalisation, we will ask for an initial hospital deposit of £850 or 50% of the estimate (whichever is greater) of the care for the first 24hrs. If the cost of the stay is less than this at discharge, we’ll refund the difference within 24 hours. We’ll keep you updated on your account balance daily throughout the time your cat stays with us and we require any outstanding balance to be cleared to £0 daily.
We contact you with updates at least once a day if your cat is in a stable condition and more frequently if it’s more serious. Your cat will be medicated and monitored throughout by our professional team.
If your cat is here for an elective procedure, such as spaying or castration, you can expect a post-procedure call or text message from our nurses by early afternoon.
For dental procedures, after we’ve done the initial assessment and determined the course of treatments and costs, we’ll call to discuss these and get your consent to proceed if this is what is agreed during your admit appointment.
Most patients of dental procedures and elective surgeries are discharged the same day. We will schedule the discharge time with you and go over the discharge instructions and necessary medications.
If your cat requires intensive overnight monitoring, they will remain with our team at the clinic which is fully staffed 24/7 by our dedicated team of vets and nurses
We go above and beyond to care for our patients – in fact you may be tempted to check in yourself!
All of our accommodations have been specifically designed and built to International Cat Care Gold Standard, using the best materials to keep noise down and retain warmth and are larger than the standard size. We can even offer tinted doors for those kitties who love their privacy!
The clinic is climate controlled and we have Feliway® pheromones diffusing throughout to promote a feeling of calm and wellbeing. We even play soothing music throughout the wards!
