What does cat-friendly actually look like here?

Gentle, unhurried handling (towel wraps beat wrestling matches, every time), exam-room patience while your cat decides the carrier is safe to exit, and a team with years of rescue-cat experience, including ferals from the trap-neuter-return community. Boarding cats live in their own room away from the dogs, which tells you how we think about feline stress in general.

How do I get my cat into the carrier without a war?

Leave the carrier out year-round as furniture with a soft blanket inside, feed treats in it sometimes, and it stops predicting doom. Day-of: stay calm, drop a worn t-shirt of yours inside, load the cat rear-first, and cover the carrier with a towel in the car. A calm ride is half the visit. If your cat is a hard case, tell us when you book and we'll plan a quiet slot.

Why do indoor cats need the vet at all?

Because the couch does not prevent dental disease, kidney decline, thyroid trouble, obesity or arthritis, and indoor cats are the world champions of hiding all five. Yearly exams (twice-yearly for seniors) with our age-based screenings catch the quiet stuff, and yes, indoor cats need rabies vaccination in Florida too.

What cat services do you offer?

Everything on our services list, feline edition: wellness exams, vaccines, spay/neuter (with county voucher participation), dental care (cats are dental disease magnets), in-house lab work including FeLV/FIV screening, and dog-free boarding.

Do you work with community cat caretakers?

Yes. TNR caretakers and cat rescues have brought us their hard cases for years. If you feed a colony in the neighborhood, we'd like to know you.
