The Oxford Cat Clinic

Quality veterinary care for your cat

Out of hours Emergencies

The Oxford Cat Clinic have arranged to use the Medivet Emergency Service(Click for directions) to provide out of hours care for our clients' cats. They are based at Parkwood Veterinary Hospital, 62 Hensington Road, Woodstock, just off the A44, approximately 15 minutes drive from our clinic.

Both the veterinary and human medical fields are increasingly using dedicated emergency services, and we feel there are definite advantages for our clients:

• Emergency centres have vets and nurses day and night which means that you can be seen as soon as you arrive by staff who are well-rested and ready for their on-duty shift.
• When pets are hospitalised the staff remain with them throughout the night to offer round the clock observation. The Vets and nurses are not called away to visit other animals off the premises. 
• Emergency centres stay brightly lit and staffed throughout the night, making them safe and easily accessible at all hours.

  In the case of an emergency please ring our normal clinic number. Outside of our normal opening hours the Medivet Emergency Service can be contacted on 01993 811355 (out of hours only)

        Should you have to take your cat to the Medivet Emergency Service then the centre will carry out emergency treatment. You will be referred back to us for follow up treatment on the next working day or as appropriate. All the details of the treatment that has been carried out by Medivet Emergency Service will be faxed to us the morning after your visit. In the more serious case where your pet requires hospitalisation we can arrange for your cat to be transferred back to us or you can opt to have their treatment completed at the centre.
