We have an ongoing commitment to high standards of care for cats, as a species cats have unique needs for us to meet.
- Cats are highly sensitive to new sights, sounds and smells
- Cats need to be handled gently and with respect in the clinic
- Most cats prefer quiet and solitude and are highly susceptible to stress
- Our cat friendly team aim to minimise any stress for cats when travelling to see us and with the treatment that they receive whilst they are with us.
