Since opening our doors in 2013 Jaffa's have become firmly established as a place to bring your cats for a different quality care in what we believe to be the most cat-friendly environment. We are a 'family-owned' business and aim to offer an alternative to modern 'corporate' veterinary practice. We delight in telling you that your cat does not need to be vaccinated against every possible disease every year, and charge you (not) accordingly.
Our priority is your cat's care and we will do whatever it takes to do right by you and your cat. Jaffa's is the 'baby' of myself and my wife Jill - our take on how we would personally like to be treated at a vets, offering the care we would like our pets to receive. We hope you like our offering and look forward to meeting new faces.

Jill and I are a surviving husband and wife team, with a frightening-long 70 years experience in the veterinary and healthcare world! Jaffa's is the culmination of my long and very varied veterinary life - and I would like to think it is the pinnacle of my career. Cats are really challenging professionally - as a species they are prone to lots of rare and unusual conditions, many of which we are still learning about.
Jaffa's was created with the intent of providing the ultimate, no-compromise, cat-only practice. We believe it is impossible to examine a cat thoroughly in a 10 minute consultation so we generally allow up to 30 minutes. For more complex cases we take as long as it takes - though we do have to charge accordingly.
At Jaffa's we aim to cater for virtually all your cat's veterinary needs, ensuring that it remains in our unique cat-friendly environment rather than enduring travel to a distant referral centre. We have full hospitalisation facilities, with the biggest, most comfortable cat cages around, meaning longer-term hospitalisation is as stress-free as possible.
We castrate and spay kittens from 12 to 14 weeks of age though we do neuter them earlier if required. We don't use skin stitches or Elizabethan collars. Why? - because if there are no stitches to pull out then they cant be pulled out, and because a comfy wound will be left alone. When we do need a collar we have soft paper ones which allow them to sleep and eat in comfort.
Feel free to send us your own snippets for inclusion. With us remaining on lockout we have clients wishing to know where there cat is 'disappearing' into. These days we are spoilt for choice when it comes to drugs for skin parasites (paraciticides) making. Here's an excellent summary of the most up to date information of the relationship between cats and.

Report
Absolutely brilliant cat only/friendly vets. We just moved our three cats to this practice when our burmese cat, Tigger, became seriously ill. Pete and the team not only knew all about the rare condition Tigger was suffering from, but researched and liaised tirelessly in an effort to give him the best chance of survival. A week of intensive care later we are looking to finally take home our boy, and I am eternally grateful. I was treated like a member of the family, allowed lots of visitation rights, given lots of coffee and shortbread and given a standard of care second to none I have ever experienced
