Sarah Langridge, known to many animal lovers in the Tavira area for her tireless work with abandoned and injured street cats and dogs, has opened a veterinary practice in the Porta Nova area of the town.
Sarah came to the Algarve three years ago when, as a volunteer with the Worldwide Veterinary Service sterilisation project, she worked at the Goldra Animal Refuge in Loulé.
Sarah qualified as a vet at the University College (Dublin) School of Veterinary Medicine in 2004.
It has taken several months to meet all the statutory requirements of the licensing authorities in Faro and Tavira but NOVAVET is now up and running and is situated at 13a, Rua António Pinheiro, near the Porta Nova Hotel and driving school.
The ‘walk-in’ clinic is open from 10.30am to 12 noon Monday to Saturday.
Sarah is also happy to display photographs and details of cats and dogs that are looking for homes. “I have a large window display area that is ideal for helping to marry up pets with new owners,” said Sarah as another happy animal was put on the road to recovery by the professional care of this dedicated vet.
