Welcome to Paws&Hooves
We sincerely hope that this newsletter finds you and your loved ones well and provides you with some much needed distraction in such unprecedented times. We also want to take this opportunity to send everyone in the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) hospitals and those studying and teaching at the RVC all our love and support as we navigate such uncertainty whilst they care for critically ill pets.
In spite of all that’s going on, and thanks to your continued support, we have some wonderful happy stories to share from the RVC hospitals and are looking ahead at how your donations are securing and shaping the future of veterinary treatment and care.
The RVC continues to grow in every area of its work. More clients than ever before are visiting RVC hospitals, RVC scientists continue to produce world-leading research into conditions affecting animals and people, and students are coming from all over the world to study here and learn from the very best.
Every donation, every run, every event and every legacy is helping us at the RVC Animal Care Trust (ACT) to fund life-saving equipment and research so that RVC clinicians can go above and beyond to deliver better care to animals.
We hope you enjoy reading the wide range of news and stories from around the hospitals and from our fundraising front line, and that you are inspired to get involved over the coming months.
Thank you for your continued support.
