SORTED 🎉🎉🎉
We're hoping that social media works its magic for this case.🤞🙏

Are you by any chance in Cambridge tomorrow morning (11.00-12.30) or Saturday morning (9.30-12.30) and able to pick up medication from the R.S.P.C.A. Cambridge Clinic in 1 Pool Way, Whitehall Road, CB5 8NT to take back to an owner in Haverhill CB9 9HN?

We know this is a big ask, 'a needle in a haystack', but DAVE a much loved Cavalier King Charles is needing more medication and his owner has no way of collecting it.

So it is collecting pet medication from Cambridge to take to Haverhill.
Collection between 11.00-12.30 Thurs or 9.00 - 12.30 Saturday when the clinic is open. The 11.00 timing is to enable the tablets to get from the vet school.
Delivery in Haverhill when it is possible.

Please either FB message or email [email protected] , or call us on our direct line 01284 335351 before 5.15 today or 8.30-5.00 tomorrow or Friday.

Thank you.
