Our Cat Clinic Facilities & Approach
We have designed our clinic with feline comfort in mind, taking steps to create a more reassuring, calm environment:
-
Separate Cat Waiting Area: Our reception includes a distinct waiting zone for cats, with raised surfaces for carriers and visual barriers to keep them away from barking dogs or other distressing stimuli.
-
Feline Pheromone Diffusers: We use diffusers strategically in the clinic to help calm and reassure cats during their visit.
-
Quiet, Feline-Sensitive Consulting Rooms: Our consulting rooms are furnished and organised with cats in mind, to help them feel safer and less stressed during examinations.
-
Cat-Specific Equipment: We use dedicated tools such as cat-specific weighing scales and blood pressure monitors to ensure accurate and gentle handling.
-
Thoughtful Hospitalisation Ward: Our inpatient area for cats features visual barriers from other species, soft bedding, and cat igloos, hide boxes or perches to allow privacy and comfort.
- Full Suite of Diagnostic & Treatment Services: Our clinic is fully equipped to deliver surgery, dentistry, laboratory testing, and diagnostic imaging for cats—ensuring that treatments can be done promptly and to high standards without unnecessary transfer.
