The Cat Thread

When a cat first has its injection, it's 2 parts, I think a couple of weeks apart. They tend to only give the 1st part and leave out the 2nd part in order to force new owners to register with a vet. If this is their open and public policy then it's fair, but in my case and many cases my vet has heard, Battersea lied. They refused to give Patch her 2nd booster before coming home with me because she had 'cat flu' which was not true, because I was told at 'check out' that she was healthy, I only found out that cat flu she was meant to have had 2 weeks after when I made a complaint. My vet said many of their ex Battersea cats also werent given the 2nd booster so they were left to pick up the piece, which is fine for the vet practice as it's all to do with money, but as far as cats welfare is concerned, is this really a good idea to be transporting a cat again within days from moving into a new home?

I think someone here just got a Battersea cat recently and the cat wasn't given the 2nd booster.

Also if the 2 weeks or however long window is missed, the 2 parts injection would have to start again for it to be effective, so potentially 3 injections in a short space of time is really shit.
