Parsnip
Parsnip began entertaining patients and staff during lockdown

Pharmacy Today’s new Pet of the Month feature shines a spotlight on our furry (or feathered) friends. We are asking you, our readers, to join in with pictures and comments on your own adored pets

Unichem Pharmacy Greenmeadows in Napier has lots of photos of Parsnip, the cat which is not technically a pet, but a regular visitor at the pharmacy and the medical centre next door.

His visits began during lockdown and pharmacy owner Susie Farquhar says, “To be honest, I think he is what saved us during those crazy days. He would casually walk through the morning huddle and make sure to get a pat from everyone.

“Patients love him and it is so lovely to see people (including doctors) sit on the floor and give him some TLC.”

Parsnip is ever helpful to staff
