I think it's their policy. We need to get his second injection next week. Which is fine, because it means we'll find a vets and get him registered, but it isn't the most sensible policy.

Have fun finding a vet. You would not believe the number of vets in the Maida Vale area that offer woo like homeopathy... I eventually went with the vet that didn't have that listed on their website as a genuine treatment option.

No it isn't. Like I said, I asked them why she wasn't given her 2nd jab before leaving and is it really sensible to let this happen? Cats take forever to settle in etc... you know I gave the the usual speech.
They then told me Pach had flu the day when I took her home which meant she wasn't fit to have her 2nd jab. When I said I was not told about it at 'check out' despites asking not once, but twice about Patch's current health, I was told she was fit and healthy with no health issues at all. They were speechless as they realized I know they lied, then swiftly offered to give her her 2nd jab for free.
I spoke to 2 vet practices and both thought it was batshit crazy, 1 said if I were to get the booster jab with them, they would have to start again, making a total of 3 jabs as what they use is different to what battersea uses. And this is CHAT, so they weren't out for my money...

did Jack get both jabs before leaving Battersea? Patch was given 1 less on purpose and my vet told me a lot of their cats and dogs from Battersea had the same treatment, or rather the lack of it. I was told they do this delibrately so it forces people to register with a vet asap.
I had a very strong word with them and they gave me some bullshit excuse, managed to get the 2nd jab, but still wasn't ideal for Patch as I had to take her back to Battersea a week or so after she came home with me, which could have totally been avoided.
Still I am grateful I met my best friend who keeps on my toe all the time
