Trips to the vet (emergency option):
In case of emergencies, we will always endeavour to take your cat to their registered veterinary practice. If it is not possible to arrange an emergency appointment with your cat’s usual practice, we will take them to the closest emergency service. Trips to the vet are priced at £25 per hour and include travel to and from the practice.
