Title: Overheard conversation in vets
Post by: Mark on April 10, 2007, 19:45:50 PM

When I went in tonight the receptionist was taking a call from someone who's cat had disappeared. She took some details and said she would put it on their website. She also suggested calling other vets in the area "as people are likely to take a stray cat to their own vet". That was it. I'm surprised they don't have a list of resources to give people.

Maybe you could print the list of useful info and leave with the vets!  Just an idea.

I am pretty sure that a good percentage of vets have been given the details of mymoggy I know that sue and saffy blitzed vets but that might have been some time ago.
On a personal note all the vets in my area have the details of my site and most of the referrals locally come from them.....but I also get some from local chapels and libraries.
I do find unless the person you have contacted at the vet has suffered the loss(missing) of a cat its not a priority unfortunately >:(

I have never seen the poster up at my vets that Saffy gave me - will get another one printed next week and take it up, and will get one sent to the rescue's vet too.

My vet has put up the MyMoggy posters I gave them at both branches.  If anyone wants a MyMoggy poster, I'm Sue will be happy to email the latest one for you to print off: contact sue@mymoggy.com
