Why “cat friendly” matters
Every cat that visits us deserves care in an environment designed to reduce stress, fear and anxiety. Our ISFM Silver accreditation means that our entire practice — from reception to hospitalisation to diagnostics — must meet rigorous standards for feline-friendly practice.
We work in partnership with International Cat Care (iCC) to continually improve our facilities and practices so that your cat receives the highest standard of care in the gentlest, kindest way possible.

Our cat-friendly vet facilities & approach
We have put in place a number of features and practices to help your cat feel more relaxed when visiting us:
-
Separate cat waiting area — with raised surfaces on which to place carriers, away from zones used by other animals, plus a visual barrier for extra security
-
Feline pheromone diffusers throughout the practice to help calm and reassure
-
Quiet, well-equipped consulting rooms designed with cats in mind
-
Equipment tailored to cats, such as cat-specific weighing scales and blood pressure monitors
-
A hospital ward for cats that is partitioned from other species, using soft bedding, hide boxes, igloos and perches to allow privacy and comfort
Onsite facilities for surgery, dentistry, lab testing and imaging, enabling us to perform most procedures under our own roof with careful feline-friendly standards
A detailed list of all criteria can be found on the International Cat Care website: https://icatcare.org/veterinary/cat-friendly-clinic
