Share a photo of your pet spreading the love in the comments! 📸🐶🐱 We’d love to see all the adorable Valentine’s moments.

Wishing you and your four-legged valentines a day filled with love, treats, and belly rubs! 🥰🐾

Important Update for Cat Owners 🐾

We want to share important information from the AVMA regarding the Avian Influenza outbreak and how it can impact our feline friends.

Cats can be at risk of contracting avian influenza, especially if they come into contact with infected birds or consume raw poultry products. For this reason, we do not recommend feeding a raw diet. If you are currently feeding your cat raw food, please exercise extreme caution.

Your pet’s health and safety are our top priority. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Learn more about this topic here:

Since the U.S. outbreak of avian influenza A (H5N1) in dairy cattle began in March 2024, dozens of cats are known to have contracted the virus, including barn and feral cats, indoor cats, and big cats in zoos and in the wild (e.g., mountain lions, tigers, leopards, and bobcats).

We treasure sharing updates about our wonderful patients! Annie's case was particularly memorable - she came to us a few years ago in a critical situation. Thanks to our team's care and her family's dedication, Annie made a complete recovery. Now a happy, healthy 6-year-old, she's absolutely thriving! You can see her joyful spirit in this recent photo from last weekend.

Want to learn more about Annie's remarkable journey? Check out her full story below.

February 3rd - February 8th: Construction Update 👷

Dear Valued Clients,

We are pleased to announce that our Cascade location will be reopened to all services this week. However, our remodeling project is ongoing and will be creating some workflow changes over the next few weeks. Below are the most important details:

🔸All medical appointments (doctor, veterinary nurse, and rehab) for dogs and cats will enter through what is normally our “cat lobby”. This will be marked with a large orange flag.
🔸Grooming and daycare will continue check-in and check-out in our Crate Escape room, which is just to the left of our main lobby entrance.
🔸Our Main lobby will be closed due to construction.

We continue to sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve our facility.

Thank you for your continued support!

Warm Regards,
The Cascade Hospital for Animals Team
