At Home Animal Care - Veterinary Service

We love Dr. Marohn!
She has taken care of our cats since early 2007, as well as those of our clients. Some of our kitties are difficult to crate and handle, but Dr. Marohn offered many solutions to our variety of "kitty issues." We appreciate her veterinary expertise, military training and background, as well as flexibility in handling each pet as their personality requires. Our famous kitty Puzzle purred loudly through his exam, and wanted more attention even after his vaccination!
Dr. Marohn's ability to come to us ties in well with the Terrapin Pets mission of keeping pets in their home environment during stressful times in their lives.
We talked at length about pet nutrition, how it has evolved over the last few years, and our mutual goals of keeping our best friends with us for as many years as possible.
Puzzle, Peekaboo, Meep, and Butterball all say "Call At Home Animal Care next time we need veterinary attention!"

Alley Cat Rescue is helping to solve the crisis and tragedy of unwanted and abandoned cats. Please visit their website to see the range of services provided - Terrapin Pets especially appreciates the low-cost spay & neuter clinics for feral cats!
Terrapin Pets and Alley Cat Rescue are currently working together to trap, neuter, and release (TNR) every kitty in a feral colony in Riverdale. The colonly has grown from 2 cats to 14 in just over a year; 2 momma cats are pregnant again! 3 cats were humanely trapped on March31, and are currently at the clinic getting their surgeries, vaccinations, and treatment for parasites. They will be returned to the colony as soon as they recover from surgery, and 3 more will be trapped next week. Terrapin Pets is donating the traps, trapping time, and transportation to and from the clinic.
Hav-a-Hart traps are desperately needed so that more kitties can be trapped before each clinic. If you have traps you can lend or donate, please contact Christi at terrapinpets@gmail.com to arrange for pickup.
Thank you ALLEY CAT RESCUE!
