Dr Kim and husband John are off to Sumatra to check on the Elephants there.
Cat Central donated a significant amount of money to filling in some old wells in the Way Kambas area that were trapping and killing baby elephants, tigers and rhinos. There are not enough to spare, so the program is worthwhile. Thank you for all of you supporting CCC - much more than just a cattery!
Dr Kim is also going to another Veterinary Forensics Conference in Orlando - learning to identify deliberate mistreatment of animals is the first step to stopping it. Not every broken bone is from a car accident. The RSPCA is holding a seminar in Canberra 23/2/10 - one of the topics is on managing stray and feral cats. Dr Kim wants to hear both sides of the cat story! And once again, Dr Kim is presenting a paper at the prestigious College Science Week in July, discussing the problems of feline cystitis.
Dr Kim is available by appointment only. Cats who are booked for operations or grooming, as well as cats coming for consultations need to go to the ‘new’ premises. Dr Kim Kendall Cat Vet is 50 metres down the road from the Cat Central premises, at 131 Victoria Avenue, Chatswood (2 doors up from the Snow Shop).
Dr Kim will fit you in as best possible within the following general timetable Bear in mind she works every weekend, and till 8pm on Mondays and Fridays. So it is a five day week - Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. If you have an emergency, you can just turn up during the opening hours, but much better to phone first.

SATURDAY consulting (by appointment) 9am - 4pm
SUNDAY consulting (by appointment) 12noon - 4pm

WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY and PUBLIC HOLIDAYS - RARELY AVAILABLE but phone 0400 756 331 anyway - if Dr Kim is in the area she will usually come and see your cat. Otherwise, the receptionist will advise you.
Fees are the same on weekends as weekdays - cats don't care what day it is so Dr. Kim just makes herself available.
