Merivale Cat Hospital

Merivale Cat Hospital The Cat Hospitals: Ottawa's only veterinary hospitals devoted exclusively to cats! At Merivale Cat Hospital, we exclusively see cats!

That means there are no barking dogs in the waiting room who can upset your cats! Our cat-only veterinary hospital is dedicated to the health and well-being of your feline family. The Merivale Cat Hospital is in its 25th year and was founded by Dr. Doug Boeckh. He and Dr. Chermain Yui make up our team of cat-loving veterinarians.

*We have temporarily suspended taking new patients in an effort to

provide timely care for our current patients. When we are able to take new patients again, we will post on social media and on our website. In the case of an emergency, contact one of the 24-hour emergency veterinary hospitals in Ottawa, such as the Animal Emergency and Specialty Hospital,1155 Lola St. (613-745-0123), https://www.oaesh.com/home. Other emergency hospitals are listed on our website at the bottom of our home page https://cathospitals.net

Our veterinary and technical team has experience treating a wide range of cat personalities, from the very nervous to the very grouchy. We are equipped with an in-house laboratory, X-ray machine, full anesthetic, surgical suite, and dental facilities. Ultrasonography and endoscopy can be arranged if needed. Plus we carry a range of specialty cat foods. Visit our website at www.cathospitals.net for more information! WARNING: If you send us a photo of your cat or post a photo of your cat to our social media there is a risk that we may use your photo in a future post so the world can see how adorable and paw-some your cat is too!

Oh by gosh, by golly, cats should not have mistletoe or holly! Keep these common holiday plants away from your cats this season- especially lilies. If your cat ingests any of these plants it will likely experience vomiting and diarrhea. Lilies are highly toxic even if your cat ingests small amounts, so call your veterinarian right away! Have a safe and happy holiday!

It's Farley Month! Our spooktacular Meowloween fundraiser is raising funds for the Farley Foundation! These are some of the reasons why we are proud to scare up support for this amazing organization. The Farley Foundation helps low-income pet owners in Ontario by subsidizing the cost of urgent veterinary care for sick or injured pets. The human-animal bond has a profound impact on human health and well-being. This is especially true for people facing hardship as they rely heavily on their pets for companionship. The Farley Foundation helps preserve this bond and keep people and pets together. Please donate in clinic or online via Canada Helps!
