Services
Preventative Care
Regular wellness exams help maintain feline health through early disease detection. Our preventative care includes comprehensive physical exams, parasite screening, and tailored vaccination schedules. This proactive approach prevents minor issues from becoming serious health problems, ensuring longer, healthier lives for cats.
Dental Care
We provide complete dental services including cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment. Digital radiography helps identify hidden dental issues. Our focus on oral health prevents systemic infections that can affect vital organs, ensuring better overall health for your cat.
Surgery
Our surgical services include spay/neuter procedures and complex soft tissue operations. We use advanced monitoring equipment and individualized pain management protocols. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures patient safety, while post-operative care focuses on comfortable recovery and follow-up monitoring.
Advanced Digital X-rays
Digital radiography provides immediate imaging for accurate diagnosis of internal conditions. This non-invasive tool helps detect skeletal, cardiac, and organ abnormalities. The technology reduces radiation exposure while delivering high-resolution images for precise treatment planning.
Vaccinations
We administer essential vaccines using PUREVAX brand products that don't contain adjuvants. Our vaccination protocols protect against rabies, feline leukemia, and respiratory diseases. These preventive measures help build immunity while minimizing adverse reactions in cats of all ages.

From the receptionist to the vets, the staff is all passionate and well informed. All the vets and techs are exceptional and we are so grateful for the continued high quality and compassionate care we get as we navigate the financial and emotional challenges of kidney disease with our aging kitties.

I've been brought all of my kitties to A Cat Practice since I found this hidden gem 9 years ago. The staff is very caring and the doctors are excellent with my cats! (even one that was fired from a previous clinic for bad behaviors). I'm glad that we are able to come inside and have face-to-face conversations again but even when they were curbside, I knew that my cats were in good hands.
