Thanks for reaching out with your question. I understand how concerning this situation might be for you. The legality of a vet giving out your personal phone number without your consent depends on privacy laws in your region. Generally speaking, personal information should be protected and shared only with your permission, as privacy is a top concern.
That being said, miscommunications can happen, and it might be helpful to have a calm discussion with the veterinary clinic to understand their privacy policies and to address your concerns. This way, everyone can ensure that such an issue doesn’t happen again.
While this situation doesn't directly relate to your adopted cat's health, I do recommend discussing such matters to maintain a good relationship with your vet. It's also a good idea to keep records or documents to help track any communication and agreements regarding your adoption process.
If your cat needs any medical advice or if you have more questions about their health, feel free to book a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. We're here to help with any concerns you might have and ensure a smooth transition for your new furry family member.
