Puss

In Memory of Puss

2000 - 2023

We adopted the most beautiful little black and white kitten from the RSPCA at 8 weeks and named him puss.

Little did I know then that we would have the most closest, beautiful bond of 23 years.

He loved to curl up on the nape of your neck and as he got bigger he still wanted to do this (not always so easy!)

We had a very deep, beautiful bond. He was my boy and was always by my side. I’m sure over many years he was there to catch many a tear from me on his head, especially when my dear mum passed in 2015.I was heartbroken but he never left my side only to eat and toilet. He had this way of staring into your eyes and many times I stated, “I feel like he is touching my soul!!) I had the honour of nursing him through pancreatitis (diagnosed by Brunker road vets) when he was 20. 24/7 around the clock care for 3 weeks. At night I would nurse him in my arms and pray to give me a few more years as I wasn’t ready to say goodbye just yet. My prayers were answered, and he lived another 3 years! He was PTS at Brunker road vets in November 2023, and my heart was absolutely broken. The staff there were so understanding and compassionate. The Dr said, “Puss is very old and very, very tired”. I knew in my heart it was his time to leave me. I broke my heart as I felt part of my heart left with him that day.

In honour of Puss, we have adopted 2 more kittens, but as much as I love and adore them, there will only ever be 1 puss.

He was unique, clever, intuitive, loving and so loved.

I have so many wonderful memories of our precious boy.💙💙

    Our little cocker spaniel Tinkerbell who is only 1 yr old was feeling so unwell and was cared for by wonderful Dr Emily and Vet nurse Izzy. They communicated with us constantly, showered our little girl with lots of cuddles and they didn’t care how many times we rang. The beautiful girls at the front desk always made a point of reassuring us every time we spoke and always passed on our messages. We have always taken our pets to Brunker Rd and they are just like a family. They care above and beyond what is expected and they love and support our animates if they were their own. We cannot thank all the staff at Brunker Rd enough for the love and support they gave to our little Tinky. They are beautiful people inside and out. We would never go anywhere else. ❤️

    We recently had our King Charles Cav in for luxating patella surgery. Brunker Road Vets have been so helpful in the aftercare process, and I couldn't recommend them enough for any of your pet needs!🙏

    We've been taking our cats here since 2015, and more recently our cocker spaniel. I'm always impressed by the staff's professionalism, warmth and knowledge. Special shout out to the wonderful Stacey for running puppy preschool - you're such a gem and I'm so glad you were the one teaching! Thank you 🩷

  • We have always received friendly, efficient and caring service from this practice. The staff are always obliging and helpful and the Vets professional, and caring. We would recommend this practice to anyone. We have been bringing our British Bulldog here for 8years now. Brunker Road Vet Centre is definitely our vet practice.
