I would like to thank City Vet Shore Road for taking such good care of my cats. Special thanks to the wonderful nurse Christina and the receptionist Rachel. I can't find words to describe these two girls. They are always smiling, ready to help and very professional. Thanks to them, I feel very well cared for here.

We found a large mass in our little Luna’s mouth on Friday evening (20th Dec) and were panicked and distraught. City Vets Shore Road fitted her in for a check up first thing the next morning, on the Saturday. They scheduled Luna for a biopsy first thing Monday morning (23rd Dec), which I’m told was their only emergency appointment over the Christmas period and I’m so grateful that was available for her. While Luna was in surgery, the head vet nurse rang me to say that the vet had got a proper look at the mass and gave me the option to go ahead with the biopsy, but they recommended palliative care instead of putting her through the surgery. I chose the palliative care on their recommendation and I’m so grateful that they were straight up and so compassionate about the situation, they certainly could have made a good £300 more if they went ahead with the biopsy as agreed without saying anything. When I couldn’t just let her go on the operating table, they then fitted her in for euthanasia the next day, on Xmas Eve so we could have one last night with her. We were well looked after and Luna was treated like the little old queen she was, even though she was dreadfully sick during the procedure. She was running around playing and eating like a champ on Friday, and she was gone by Tuesday. As you can imagine, it was an incredibly quick and painful few days and my partner and I were well supported by all of the staff, even the lovely girl on reception was incredible and comforting. All in all, while we would have paid anything to keep Luna from suffering, the cost of it all was extremely reasonable and we are now waiting on our baby’s ashes coming home. Thank you, City Vets, for helping us through the hardest time of our lives and for ensuring Luna got the best and most compassionate care we could have asked for, especially in the run up to Christmas when I’m sure you all would rather have been at home with your families. Thank you ♥️
