Cat Friendly Practice

We are proud and delighted that Port Elgin Veterinary Clinic is now certified as a Cat Friendly Practice by the American Association of Feline Practitioners! We love cats and we want their experience with us to be as comfortable and stress-free as possible. As a Cat Friendly Practice, we are committed to understanding and accommodating the needs of cats and their owners. The minute our clients and feline patients arrive they become part of a comfortable, welcoming experience.

We understand that cats require special care and attention. We gently interact with your cat so examinations and procedures are comfortable and pleasant. We have modified our clinic environment and appointment process and now include cat-exclusive appointment times and a cat-only separate entrance (side door), so your cat will enjoy a quieter, less stressful environment. Our examination rooms are also feline-friendly.

Our entire hospital, our equipment, and our procedures are certified for cat safety and comfort. The certification includes the operating room, anesthesia, diagnostic imaging, laboratory, and dentistry practices. We have a separate feline ward and boarding facilities, so things are quiet and peaceful for your feline friend.

Continuing education is a priority for our doctors and staff. We are members of the American Association of Feline Practitioners, Cornell Feline Health Centre, and American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior.

We are committed to providing quality care to all of our patients and their families. Now as a certified Cat Friendly Practice, you can be further assured that your cat will enjoy the best experience possible at our hospital.
