Dr. Hicks has been Goblinā€™s vet for over a decade. It all began with an emergency visit and she quickly fell for this handsome fella. Goblin, in typical cat mode, has a pretty ā€œmehā€ response to vet visits. It doesnā€™t matter. Itā€™s still true love.

Texting is tiring us out!

We are getting urgent medical questions sent to us via text outside business hours, to our unmonitored text line. Sadly we are not always seeing them. We want to offer excellent care to our patients and clients so PLEASE call with urgent questions. If you need to send photos, use email. Texting is for appointment reminders and non-urgent communications only.

Thank you!

Are you a caregiver for community cats? Researchers from Michigan State University are conducting a study to measure the health of community cats and they would like to hear from you! Whisker Wellness Center is not affiliated with them but we support the goal of this project: "To gain a better understanding of how resource availability may impact the health of both individual cats and colonies, and to establish a foundation of care practices that could enhance community cat welfare."

Share your experience with the researchers with the QR code in the flyer. The survey will take 10-20 minutes to complete. You can also access the survey and learn more about the project by going to the link https://msu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_38lovCd6pqp4wU6. This study will be open till the end of September 2025 or till they reach the targeted number of respondents. They hope to reach participants from across the U.S., and all responses will remain confidential.

On behalf of community cats, thank you!

Dr. Hicks is passionate about community cat care. Cowboy is the 26th cat from her neighborhood that she has TNRā€™d! Most are not friendly like this. This guy must have someone who feeds him.

If youā€™re feeding an outdoor cat, please give them the lifesaving gift of spay/neuter! It will prevent future litters from being born outside, reduce the likelihood of fighting, curb unwanted behaviors like spraying and yowling, and reduce the risk of disease transmission between cats. Cats live longer, healthier lives if they are spayed/neutered šŸ˜»

Whisker Wellness Center continues to grow and now we seek to add a veterinarian to our team. šŸ˜»

An independently owned cat-exclusive hospital which opened in 2024, we are building a practice that believes in progressive medicine, elevating client and patient care, and celebrating our love of felines. We might be a little biasedā€¦ but for cat-fanatics, we think this is the coolest place to work in the world. We learn, we train, we grow, and we support each other to be the best clinicians and caregivers of cats possible. And every day we make a real difference in the lives of the cats of our community.

What We Offer
* A beautiful, new hospital, Certified Cat-Friendly (gold level) and equipped with all the modern amenities
* A team of passionate cat people - no more scruffing!
* Generous Pro-Sal compensation - negotiable depending on experience & days worked per week
* Part time (2 days/week) or full time (3 days/week) available. No evenings or weekends EVER!
* Production bonus paid quarterly with no negative accrual
* Benefits Package: Health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) with employer match, paid time off, continuing education allowance, reimbursement for professional dues, liability insurance, and license fees, uniform allowance, discounted pet care, and more.
* Close relationships with specialists: we regularly schedule radiologists, cardiologists, and surgeons to perform diagnostics/procedures in our hospital. Multiple referral hospitals are just minutes away.

A dear friendā€™s cats are missing and were possibly abducted! Tacoma PD has taken a report. Please spread the word so we can get these boys home.

Last seen near N. Yakima and Summit Ave, Tacoma.

Lyle went missing July 21st, and Carlos went missing August 29th. Carlos was wearing a tracking collar that was found unclipped and undamaged in his owner's yard.

A report was received of an older woman seen putting a cat into a gold/beige Crown Victoria (or similar vehicle).

It is now believed they were abducted.

If you have any information at all, please call 253-209-7409 or 253-209-7408.
