Services

Preventative Care

  • Annual exams can detect problems before they are obvious to owners.
  • Vaccines are not the only reason to bring your cat to the vet annually.
  • Indoor cats need exams too – it’s not all about vaccines!
  • Annual labwork after age 7 can allow for early intervention.
  • Early treatment can reverse some diseases and prevent permanent damage.
  • We practice very thorough, but very practical, medicine.

Feline Behavior

  • Cats are masters of disguise.
  • They are a species that is both predator and prey – this creates unique issues!
  • If cats show weakness or illness, they are a meal for larger animals!
  • We understand and can help you better meet your cat’s environmental and emotional needs.
  • We can help prevent and treat behavior problems. 
  • Education about normal cat behavior is part of every appointment.

Internal Medicine

  • Our specialty is treating and micro managing chronic health problems.
  • We can extend your cat’s quality of life and therefore your time with your cat.
  • It’s about quality, not just quantity, but we aspire to achieve both!
  • Treatment not working? We’ll help find another as long as kitty has quality.
  • We refer for advanced diagnostics and work with specialists to treat your cat.

Senior Care

  • Older cats have different needs and they are different than older dogs.
  • As masters of disguise, medical problems are often not obvious to owners.
  • Metabolic disease drives many behaviors that are misinterpreted by owners as positive. Example: drinking and urinating more is often first indicator of metabolic disease.
  • Old age is NOT a disease!
  • Let us help your cat age gracefully and comfortably!

Grooming

  • Cats are self-cleaning! Baths are not routinely needed.
  • All cats need to be brushed and/or combed out.
  • Many cats need help taking care of fur “below their waist”!
  • Every strictly indoor cat’s nails must be trimmed - even if they only have back nails.
  • Nail trims are free for our clients; only an appointment is required.
  • We routinely perform lioncuts, stomach & sanitary shaves, comb outs, nail trims & ear cleanings and bathe if medically necessary.

Dentistry

  • Cats do not automatically need a dental cleaning every year!
  • There are things we can do to prevent some types of dental disease.
  • We prefer to keep your kitty from requiring a dental cleaning!
  • If your cat has/develops dental disease, we can take care of that too.
  • We can clean up the healthy teeth and remove any unhealthy ones. 

Boarding

  • We do not believe in boarding cats!
  • Change of environment is one of the top stressors for cats.
  • Cats should be checked on every day, but remain in their own home environment.
  • We have several knowledgeable, skilled feline loving cat sitters to recommend!
  • Have a friend or neighbor come by, in addition to a cat sitter, to allow for multiple visits each day!

Surgery

  • We perform routine procedures – spay, neuter, biopsy, growth removal.
  • Our anesthetic protocols will not leave your cat “drunk” or “out of it”.
  • Cats go home the same day of surgery!
  • If best for your cat, referral to a board certified surgeon might be recommended.
