Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic

ISFM Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic

We are delighted to have been awarded the ISFM (International Society of Feline Medicine) Cat Friendly Clinic Gold standard, the highest rating available.

The ISFM is an International Charity that setup their Cat Friendly Clinic programme to help address the unique needs of our pet cats and helps us as a practice to make your pets visit less stressful.

 

 

Mochdre Vets is Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic!

Gone are the days when it was acceptable in veterinary medicine to treat a cat like a small dog.  As a profession we know many diseases in cats that can be related to stress so designed our practice to minimise the stress to our cat clients as much as possible. In 2019 we were awarded Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic by the ISFM (International Society of Feline Medicine), the highest standard available, this is unique to us in the area and we are only the second practice in North Wales to receive it.

 

What we offer
  1. We have a dedicated area designed exclusively for our feline friends. With its own entrance, waiting room, consult room, operating theatre, and accommodation, our cat section ensures a comfortable and specialized environment, tailored specifically to meet the needs of cats.
  2. Our cat area is located next door to our rehab department, our staff will guide you.
  3. We now offer more cat only appointments, Monday to Friday between 09:00 and 17:00. If required we can offer further investigation blood tests, x-rays, CT or ultrasound scans on the same day meaning less stress for your cat and you.  Where available we will try to offer any procedure on the same day too.
