Procura-se família

Some patients arrive with no family.

Street cats, abandoned dogs, animals that were mistreated: they are treated here like any other patient, and cared for at the clinic until someone takes them home.

I wanted to be a vet to be able to help street animals more.

— Dra. Liliana Dias, replying to a review

Thanks to them we adopted Faísca, who was being cared for at the clinic while waiting for a family.

The clinic's reply

They came in with one and left with two — double the love.

One vet · one door

A neighbourhood clinic, run by the vet herself.

Dra. Liliana Dias is the clinic's only vet. That means the person who sees your cat today is the same person who saw it last year — and who will remember.

Owners keep coming back: some have trusted her with their dogs for fourteen years, from puppies to old age. What they mention most is not speed but care: she explains the recovery, keeps in touch, and gives the hard moments the time they need.

Over 27,000 people follow the clinic on Facebook. Most of them came through the door first.

Also on staff: a curly-haired, four-legged head of public relations.
