- Behavioral CounselingOral disease, if left untreated, can lead to pain and discomfort, which can result in your cat not eating, or other behavior changes that effect their health and happiness. It can also cause heart disease, kidney failure, and even cancer.
- Nutritional CounselingAfter lengthy testing and research, the American Association of Feline Practitioners is recommending canned food for cats. It may be easier on a cat’s digestive system, causing fewer upsets than dry food, and it has been shown to assist with weight control, an issue for many cats.
- Comprehensive ExaminationWe generally recommend annual exams, so we can do our best to ensure your cat lives the best and longest life.
- Behavioral Disorder TreatmentFeline Distemper (FVRCP): (which stands for feline viral rhinotracheitis, calici, panleukopenia) Modified live vaccines are advised because they are non-adjuvanted. Recent studies have shown that there is also a more rapid immunity against feline parvovirus in kitten given a modified live FVRCP.
- Pain ManagementWe use state of the art equipment to perform a wide variety of surgical procedures. Controlling pain during these procedures is essential. Our licensed veterinary technicians are trained to recognize pain and work with the doctors to provide your cat with the necessary pain relief in accordance with the most up-to-date anesthetic protocol.

- Thyroid Disease Treatment— If your cat is not a current client and has a medical condition that would put them in a high risk category while boarding, our doctors may require an examination upon or prior to admission. This is to ensure we can keep your cat happy and healthy during their stay. These conditions include but are not limited to: Diabetes, Heart Conditions, and Hyperthyroidism.

- Kidney Disease TreatmentDid you know that 90 percent of cats over age 8 have dental disease? That’s important because it can lead to heart and kidney disease. Regular exams mean we can recommend when to schedule a dental cleaning.
- Periodontal Disease TreatmentAt Just Cats your cat’s mouth is examined by one of our veterinarians during each annual or semi-annual healthy cat visit. If there are signs of periodontal disease, a dental exam will be recommended.

- GroomingJust Cats offers grooming services for your cat. Most cats are not fans of grooming and are referred to us because they are unable to have grooming services done without sedation. Our veterinarian will choose the right sedation for your cat so there is no stress involved in the grooming process. The patient is monitored by our skilled veterinary team while under sedation until grooming is done and the patient is awake.
