Care that’s anything but prepackaged
Personalizing your cat’s care boils down to longer appointments than an average vet. With more time, we can listen, ask questions, answer questions, and provide you with options that work for you and your kitty.
From real clients on personalized care:
A vet visit that’s easy on your cat
Stressed cats don’t make for cooperative patients.
That’s why we designed our entire practice to make them feel more at home.

Reviews: Low Stress Cat Only Vet Practice
How we keep vet visits low stress for your cat
Cats only. Seriously.
Other species are not allowed in the building so your cat can visit stress-free.
Quiet lobby.
Appointments are spaced to keep our lobby empty, and minimize patient anxiety.
No scary smells.
We run a clean practice and include pheromone diffusers in every room - just in case.
Extra time to adjust.
Longer appointments give your kitty time to adjust and relax in their surroundings.
Calming staff.
Cats subtly tell you how they’re feeling. Our staff can read them, and put your cat at ease.
