These cats are NOT our fosters.

These cats are NOT our fosters.

😳

Then why are they in our car? 🤔

Because we do a LOT of volunteer transport (vet runs) for SAVA – Saving Avon Valley Animals

Why do some of the cats look sick? 🥺

Because they are RESCUED cats.

Rescued from all sorts of unhealthy or dangerous situations. ❤️‍🩹

What IS a vet run? ⤵️

It’s the days of the week where Colin transports SAVA foster cats and kittens to (and / or) from the vet.

Some days he has the morning ‘drop off’ run, which means waking up around 5am and picking up the cats from Northam around 6am.

(We live about 25 mins out of Northam).

Then driving them to the various veterinary partners, like Forestdale Veterinary Hospital.

(That’s a long drive!) 😬

Before going to work for the day.

Some days he has the afternoon ‘pick-up’ run, which means collecting the cats from the vet/s after work around 5pm and driving them back to SAVA in Northam.

🚗💨💨💨

The longest days are when he does both…

Drop off in the morning and pick up in the afternoon.

😮‍💨💤

Dropping off or picking up rescue cats isn’t a ‘drop and run’ job.

There is handover at both ends…

Checks, information sharing and medication / paperwork transfer.

It all takes time.

Every now and then, one of OUR foster cats is part of the vet run.

But usually when I post a vet-run reel, we have never seen the cats or kittens before.

As they are not the ones that we foster in our home.

Makes sense? 💁

In this reel, there are cats going to the vet for sterilisation.

And cats going to the vet for medical attention.

Whatever the reason, Colin volunteers a LOT of his time to driving rescue cats to their veterinary appointments.
