We are thrilled to announce that Horse and Cat Vet has been officially accredited as a Cat Friendly Clinic by the global charity International Cat Care. This recognition is a significant milestone in our ongoing mission to provide the best possible veterinary experience for our feline patients.
What This Means for Your Cat
The Cat Friendly Clinic program is a global initiative to raise the standards of care for cats by creating more accommodating and less stressful veterinary environments. Achieving this accreditation involved a thorough evaluation of our clinic to ensure we meet a high standard of cat care.
This includes:
- A Cat-Friendly Environment: Our facilities, including cage sizes, are designed to make your cat’s visit and stay as comfortable as possible.
- Gentle Handling: All staff, from our reception team to our vets and nurses, are trained in cat-friendly handling techniques to interact with your cat gently and respectfully.
- Understanding Feline Behaviour: We have policies in place to encourage normal cat behaviour and reduce stress during their time with us.
Our Commitment to Feline Wellness
From the very beginning, our goal has been to make our clinic a welcoming place for cats. This accreditation from International Cat Care affirms our commitment and recognises the dedication of our entire team. While we are proud of this achievement, we are always looking to improve. We are already aiming for Gold level accreditation as our clinic grows in the future.
We encourage other veterinary clinics to consider pursuing this valuable accreditation. To learn more about the wonderful work of the leading international cat charity, please visit iCatCare’s website.
