A VETS in Abingdon is proposing to move cattery facilities to its surgery in Didcot.

Abivale Veterinary Group in The Vineyard is contacting customers to ask them what they think about the plans for the switch to the Hadden Hill location, which is expected to take place on October 31.

Staff say there will still be a ‘cattery presence’ in Abingdon and arrangements for how cats will be transported have not yet been finalised.

A lack of space in Abingdon has led to the proposals.

A statement from Abivale said: “We are always looking for ways to improve our service and ensure that we are able to continue to provide an excellent level of care for cats when they stay with us.

“From October 31 Abingdon Cattery is moving to join our well established Didcot cattery at Hadden Hill, which is only a short distance away from Abingdon. Hadden Hill provides a beautiful rural setting for cats to enjoy during their stay, and up-to-date facilities, creating a more comfortable environment.”
