MDC Exports is launching a cat cage at BSAVA Congress which it claims will revolutionise the way cats are cared for in veterinary surgeries
According to the company, plastic cages currently in use tend to harbour germs where cats have made scratches in their surfaces. This cage, however, is the first of its kind to be made from stainless steel, which cats' claws cannot damage.
MDC claims the hygienic Cat Cage will protect animals from disease and infection during their stay in surgery making for happier, healthier patients. The company says the stainless steel Cat Cage is strong, durable and can be flame sterilized. The handles can also be colour-coded, for example, yellow means neuter, red means post-anaesthetic and green means ready to go home. Each stainless steel Cat Cage also comes with a two-year free replacement guarantee.
For more information, visit MDC Exports at BSAVA Congress 2011 on stand 123. All visitors to the stand will receive a complimentary NipLok - the quick-release tourniquet that can be operated one-handed

revolutionise the way cats are care for?! i was not expecting to see a crush cage! A metal crush cage that can be properly cleaned is great.. but to use as a crush cage, nothing else.
The advert is a little misleading as MDC are suppliers of animal restraint products so these cages will be aimed at the feral neutering aspect of Veterinary work where the animals are not able to be handled and so have to remain in crush cages until operated and released.
Cant say im sold on this one, i prefer removing cats from their carriers and placing them in our spacious stainless steel kennels where they can stretch out and toilet without having to sit in it!
Wish I was going to BSAVA - I could ask how was a cat crushed in a metal basket going to revolutionise the way cats are cared for and as for them being in this level of confinemnet for post op and whilst waiting to go home - that's positively 19th century - what's going on. Sorry MDC Exports - this may have been really badly marketed but I would suggest you re- look at how you sell this one.
