Cat-Friendly Approach

The clinic presents itself as a centre adapted to the needs of cats. It recognises that cats often do not travel well, feel unsafe away from home and are sensitive to new stimuli, and that the presence of nearby dogs can cause them stress. For this reason, the team uses careful, respectful handling with felines.

The clinic's website includes a pet advice section with articles on topics such as the leptospirosis and kennel cough outbreak, cat boarding, the best start for puppies and kittens, senior pet check-ups, dog age calculator, parasites, socialisation and kitten dental care and nutrition.
