Tito Red spent three days in Vets in Practice animal hospital in Mandaluyong City, a few blocks away from the shop where a friend gets her weight loss vitamins. We took him there last Friday for neutering and asked for a two-day confinement while we were busy with house-transfers. Last Sunday, he was vaccinated with anti-rabies shot and given boosters. He was also given a tranquilizer pill to calm him down for the long ride from the hospital all the way to Cavite.

It was his first time to receive treatments since we got him five years ago. We were compelled to give him that since we’re transferring to a gated community and we don’t want him to populate the new neighborhood with kitties. Tingting, his best buddy for 3 years, was given to the care of a family friend.

Tito Red’s neutering and vaccination at Vets in Practice cost me around P3,500. Not bad for a first-timer who will soon grow into an orange tabby cat. His attending doctors and handlers were good and pleasant, and they do really care about the animals brought to them for medical care.
