Some moments at the clinic truly warm our hearts. 💜

Pepper and her owner arrived early for their appointment. Instead of waiting in a chair, Pepper's owner sat right on the floor so that her cat wouldn’t feel alone or scared. 🐾💕 That’s the kind of dedication we love to see! Partners in care, comfort, and compassion — every step of the way. 😺💜

😺💛 Pepper’s Sweet Apology! 💛🍪

Pepper came in for a visit last week and let’s just say… he brought a little spice with him for Dr. Lyons and her team. 🌶️😼 Today, Pepper’s parents absolutely melted our hearts — they brought apology cookies along with the sweetest note thanking the team for caring for their spicy boy. 💕🐾

All is forgiven, of course. And honestly… with that face, he’s had our hearts from the very beginning. 😻💜

✨ Meet Prometheus! ✨

This sweet boy visited our clinic for the very first time today and it didn’t take long for the whole team to fall in love! Prometheus is deaf, but his curiosity and confidence shines bright. And just like his mythological namesake who brought fire to humankind 🔥, this Prometheus brought so much warmth and light into our day. There’s something truly special about his gentle, trusting energy.

We’re so grateful his family shared him with us, and we’re already excited to see him again. 💙🐾

💡 Laser Therapy Training Day! 🐾

Today our technicians and doctors took part in laser therapy training — learning how to make the most of this amazing technology to help our feline patients feel their best. 💜

Laser therapy uses gentle light energy to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and decrease inflammation. It’s safe, soothing, and can make a big difference for cats dealing with:
🐾 Arthritis or joint pain
🐾 Wounds, injuries, or post-surgical healing
🐾 Inflammation from dental procedures
🐾 Ear infections or skin irritations
🐾 Chronic conditions like stomatitis or cystitis

We’re always learning new ways to provide advanced, compassionate care — because every cat deserves to feel comfortable and cared for. 😺✨ Call and ask us about laser therapy and how it can help your cat live a happier, more comfortable life! 💜
