Title: Vet practice loses cat
Post by: Gillian Harvey on June 18, 2009, 14:21:14 PM
A vet practice in Gloucester has lost a cat in its care - apparently a vet nurse took him home for the weekend  The nurse put him in her garden shed in his carrier - but left the carrier open - and he managed to get out of the shed! (practice owner nor the owner knew about this apparently - its just been on Radio 2 about it)

Cheltenham, not Gloucester  ;)

Honeybourne are good vets, I've not heard a bad thing about them, it is very worrying that he was put in a shed and not a nice cozy room in the house. I really hope they find him soon.

Poor Lionel.

I pray for a happy ending to this story.

I bet the nurse feels awful.

Well I would be frothing at the mouth if it were one of mine!  >:(

I would say the vet nurse was doing the cat a favour if she had'nt put him in the shed!  :Crazy: Why take him home to put him in a shed? He would of been better off staying at the vets!  :-:

Hope he is found soon!  :wish:

My thoughts exactly, surely if he was ill enough to be kept in over the weekend he would need tlc in a warm environment  :shocked:

If I thought one of mine was going to be kept in a shed, I would have brought them home with me where they are safe & warm and I could keep an eye on them. I always quiz vets as the one next door to me leaves animals on their own all night and even turns the light off  >:( (I know as there are glass bricks in their wall in our garden)
