Ilford PDSA Pet Clinic is part of PDSA (a charity provider) and is described on its website as offering free and low‑cost veterinary care to pets in need. Reviews suggest it frequently handles cats with acute illness and end‑of‑life situations: one owner describes hours on a drip plus blood tests for a senior cat with kidney failure, and another mentions a cat brought in for breathing difficulties. Experiences around euthanasia are mixed—several reviews describe empathetic support on “the hardest day,” while one recent 1‑star review reports a rushed, distressing process and a mismatch with what the owner expected from information “stated online.”
