We are so excited to share that our Cat Protection Society Private Vet Clinic was recently recognised as a Cat Friendly Clinic (Silver level) with the International Society of Feline Medicine. This accreditation is awarded to Veterinary Clinics who consistently treat all cats (owned and unowned) with the highest levels of care, compassion and understanding and where staff:
- Understand the unique needs of cats and have made visits to the clinic more friendly
- Understand how to approach and handle cats gently and with care
- Have good knowledge and equipment to manage the care of cats
The Cat Protection Society is now the only cat-only clinic (bonus, no barking dogs) recognised as a Cat Friendly Clinic within Melbourne.
What does it mean for my cat and me?
A Cat Friendly Clinic gives you peace of mind and reassurance, letting you know that:
- Our clinic has achieved certain minimum accreditation standards
- Our clinic and clinic staff have thought about the specific needs of cats
- Our staff will be happy to talk with you, show you what they do and show you around the clinic
- Our staff will explain your cat’s treatment and recovery clearly and sensitively so that you have a full understanding of what is going on.
