Cat Friendly Practice

Gold-Certified Cat Friendly Practice®

We understand the unique challenges you may face when bringing your kitten or cat in.

From a feline's sensitivity to unfamiliar sights and sounds to their susceptibility to stress and anxiety, many cat owners find the process of visiting a veterinary clinic a difficult one. To help assist our clients and to further our commitment to providing the best veterinary care possible (from cat dental to surgery to vaccinations) in Spokane and South Hill, we have recently been certified by the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) as a Cat Friendly Practice.

  • Offering individual care plans based on your cat’s specific health needs
