Cats Protection commission Animedic to build their first
Mobile Neutering Clinic
Cats Protection has just launched a brand new initiative
for 2005. A purpose-built Mobile
Neutering Clinic has just taken to the road in
a bid to cut costs and offer support to their hospitals
and adoption centres. When approached, Animedic
gladly rose to the challenge. The vehicle is fully equipped
to carry out surgical procedures and to provide recovery
facilities, for up to 12 cats at any one time. The vehicle
took over a month to build by hand and is fitted with
furniture of the highest quality. The design of the vehicle
is entirely bespoke to the charity's specification. Head
of Veterinary Department, Lisa Morrow, together with her
assistant Kate Keene, worked with Alchemy's
Managing Director Chris Arnold, to design the cutting
edge vehicle.
To build a vehicle capable of working completely self
sufficiently was no mean feat. The high-tech on-board
electrical systems allow the charity to carry out neutering
in remote areas of the country, making the service completely
versatile. Cats Protection are currently piloting the
initiative in the North of the country, and after extensive
trials throughout the first half of this year hope to
roll out the service to the rest of the country by commissioning
up to a further ten mobile units.
