Welcome back to our vet Emma and our Registered Veterinary Nurse Rachael who both attended International Cat Care’s 2025 World Feline Congress in Edinburgh last week. The event lasted three days, and included lecture streams, seminars and practical sessions given by leading feline experts to help advance feline wellbeing across the veterinary industry and beyond. Topics covered were as diverse as happy vet visits, managing feline behaviour issues, how to best care for poorly newborns, when to use antibiotics, nutritional management of cat diseases, trauma surgery, wound management and much much more! A special shout out to Rachael who was invited by International Cat Care to work for their team as a support volunteer. We’re very proud of you Rachael!
Some of you may remember that International Cat Care came to do some photography and filming last year in our interconnecting West Midlands Cat Clinic. The fruits of their labour are now live! Working in conjunction with Ceva who produce Feliway, the charity has launched a series of training videos to help veterinary professionals reduce stress and improve health outcomes in feline patients. You can imagine Rachael and Emma’s delight on seeing at congress that the West Midlands Cat Clinic spotlights in the promotional literature for the new online cat handling training series! Rachael herself and our Clinical Director Hamish in our West Midlands Cat Clinic have top billing in their literature! We’re super excited that our cat clinic is being recognised on the world stage!
