The Cat Doctor

When we opened our doors in 1987, this was the first feline practice in the Southeast. There are now over two hundred across the country. From the beginning, our philosophy has been

"to provide the highest quality medicine available to our patients in the most pleasant environment possible."
We believe the medicine we practice here is the best you'll find anywhere. That's also why a visit here is like walking into a good friend's home. We want to provide a comfortable environment for your cat -- and for you -- with the same kind of care and attention you give him. Our clients expect the finest in veterinary medicine and care. Our efficient, professional, friendly staff makes sure you're never disappointed.
Walk in the door and he runs, tail in the air, to greet you ... with a stretching roll on the floor. Or, maybe, she slo-o-owly arches her back as you reach out to stroke her. Other times, he'll merely look up, as if to say, "Oh ... it's you."
You gotta love 'em. They're independent and individual, but they're so special. And full of surprises. Like the time she got trapped in the kitchen cabinet for three hours. And wouldn't speak to you all day -- until dinnertime.
Your cat is so much more than just a pet. He's a companion, a footwarmer, an alarm clock. She's an earmuff, a varmint catcher, and a heck of a good judge of character when it comes to visitors. Remember that time...?
Special friends deserve special care. All their lives.

I truly love treating cats!
Mysterious creatures, aren't they? They rarely show overt signs of illness until they're quite sick. That's the challenge: finding the underlying cause of disease. Traditional medicine often treats symptoms, without looking for the source of the problem.
We take a different approach. At The Cat Doctor, we practice preventive medicine, not crisis medicine. The idea is, if we can diagnose a disease before the patient is sick, it's often much easier (and less costly) to treat -- and the prognosis is much better!
We also feel a responsibility to educate our clients about their cat's care. Clients often come in with a list of questions; we encourage and welcome them and hope you'll bring your own list with you -- next time we see your cat.
