Dogs being walked along Wivenhoe Quay, cats on every estuary street corner: hey - y’know what we need? Wivenhoe Pets, of course.

And so it was with great delight that my first proper pet ownership more or less coincided with the opening of Wivenhoe Pets down at the Business Centre towards the end of last year.

A cat is a cat is a cat - you feed them, they pooh. Everyone’s happy.

Um, not quite…

Andreya and Jane (for they are the *ahem* Pet Shop Girls) provide much more of a service than simply selling pet food. Both are highly skilled and have a professional background in pet care.

As well as a local delivery service, a cat care service if you are out of town, and even a growing garden business, it is the conversations and help that I value most when down at the Business Centre.

The Wivenhoe Pets Wall of Fame is a badge of honour to be included upon (Murphie, not me.) We’re in fine company as well, with one lovely neighbour also having representation, and I here talk of the other side *shhh* possibly about to take part in the pet action as well.

Matching up the Wall of Fame with the audio above made perfect pet sense. There is of course the special guest appearance of everyone’s favourite Station Cat towards the end. Andrea and Jane have been crucial here in ensuring that a genuine care in the community approach is now in place to look after Wendy and her needs.

You can contact Wivenhoe Pets on 01206 823 941, or via the Facebook page, or even on twitter @wivenhoepets. Pop in for a chat, explain your pet needs, and I’m sure you’ll be accommodated.

Meanwhile, the Facebook page updates with:

“MISSING BLACK CAT - missing since Thursday night 9th June - Lower Wivenhoe area. No tag, large, slim male, very friendly. Black with few white hairs under his neck. Any information please call 07833 256949″

NOT the adorable Naughty Boy, who sadly is back on his semi-permanent vacation in Frinton.

Meowww.
