If you have driven here and arrive earlier, wait in your car until 5 minutes before your scheduled time.

PLEASE BE PATIENT

With staff and those around you – we are all doing our best to provide services in this challenging time.  There is a great deal of additional work involved and we are still short staffed, everything is taking longer.

MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING

WEAR A MASK

 HAND SANITIZER IS PROVIDED

ALL CATS MUST BE IN A CARRIER  For contactless transfer by staff into the clinic

MEDICATION REFILLS –  CALL AHEAD to order refills and allow staff time to prepare. Prepayment over the phone is encouraged.  A tentative pick up time will be set when you place your order.  These measures are to reduce the numbers of people in the hallway outside the clinic at any given time. If you do not phone ahead you will have to leave and return once the prescription is ready, you will not be allowed to wait until refilled – this is for everyone’s safety.

FOOD SALESCALL AHEAD to ensure we have the food you want in clinic before you make the trip to our clinic.  Having your order ready for you in advance will help to limit wait times and congestion of people in the hallway.  IF you are here with you cat for an appointment you can purchase food at the same time if it is available.

 CLIENT ACCOUNT required for ALL FOOD SALES  – The Department of Health requires that we can provide a list of all customers who have made purchases at the clinic every day, including their phone number, in the event that there is a case of COVID and contact tracing is required.  If you do not want to be added to our computer system then we will not be able to sell you any items
