Found in our car park this afternoon… a very special little patient! 🧸

This little furry friend was found in our car park today, so we’ve taken them inside to keep them safe and well looked after until we can reunite them with their owner.

We’ll be keeping them safe over the Easter weekend and making sure they’re well cared for (although we promise not to feed them too much Easter chocolate! 🍫).

If this belongs to you or your child, we will be open again from 8:00am on Tuesday, and you’re very welcome to come and collect him or her then.

Please feel free to share this post so we can help reunite this little friend with their owner! 🧸💛
