Twins Big Day Out

Twin tortis Pepper and Kimba had a big day yesterday.  They came into hospital for desexing before breakfast and were home in time for a much deserved tea!

Kimba has her premedication - a tranquilliser and pain relief injection - to help her relax and to minimise any discomfort from the surgery






This Feliway diffuser in the cat ward helps keep the twins calm before surgery.  It diffuses the natural pheromone that cats rub over their homes
and so makes them feel more relaxed and at home.
