Owners give Pet Pals permission for any necessary veterinary treatment during their cat(s) stay and accept that the cats owners will be responsible for any costs incurred by Pet Pals including flea and worm treatment and any transportation costs. Where possible, we will endeavour to use the cats own vets, but the owner gives permission to use Pet Pals own vets, and also agrees to the euthanasia of the cat if the vet deems necessary.
