What Compassionate Feline Care Means for Your Cat

We want your cat to have an enjoyable experience at our hospital, which means dedicating ourselves to reducing stress and making visits easier for you. Our team is educated about your cat’s individual needs and behaviors and is trained to handle your feline in a gentle way while using specific methods of care to ensure their comfort.

Here’s what to expect:

  • Feline-Specific Examination Rooms: Our cat only exam rooms are designed with cats in mind, featuring pheromone diffusers and comfortable, non-slip surfaces. This helps create a safe and secure environment for your cat during examinations.
  • Use of Feline Pheromones: We use feline pheromones in waiting areas and examination rooms to mimic the scent marks cats leave when they feel safe, helping to calm and reassure your cat during their visit.
  • Compassionate Handling Techniques: Our team is trained in cat-specific handling techniques that minimize stress and fear. This includes understanding cat body language and using gentle, slow movements to avoid overwhelming your cat.
  • Trained Staff: Our entire staff, including veterinarians, technicians, and support staff, receive training on the unique needs of cats. This ensures they understand how to approach and care for cats in a way that reduces stress and promotes their wellbeing.
  • Calm Environment: Efforts are made to maintain a quiet and calm environment at our hospital, as cats are particularly sensitive to loud noises and chaotic environments. 
  • Advice and Support for Cat Owners: We provide owners with advice on how to transport their cat to our hospital for appointments, how to administer medication and how to create a stress-free environment at home.
