Cat Friendly Clinic

Our Deputy Head Nurse Mellissa Amies is our dedicated Cat Advocate having attained ISFM feline friendly status for the practice.
As a cat friendly clinic we understand that there are unique difficulties in bringing your cat to the Vets such as…

• Cats often do not travel well and feel unsafe away from home
• They are highly sensitive to new sights, sounds and smells
• Most cats prefer quiet and solitude and are highly susceptible to stress
• Most cats are highly stressed by nearby dogs in the clinic
• Cats need to be handled gently and with respect in the clinic

• Understand the needs of cats and have made visits to us more cat friendly
• Understand how to approach and handle cats gently and with care
• Have good knowledge and equipment to manage the care of cats
