Frida is doing a final fitting of her bridesmaid's outfit this morning. As a friendly reminder, our office will be closing at noon today for the celebration of Kelsey's wedding.

It's International Pet Groomer Appreciation Day! We are so fortunate to have Katie and Breanna here to care for your feline's fur needs. Grooming can sometimes be cosmetic, but grooming can also be medically relevant. Hair matting can cause skin irritation and affect blood flow. Some cats have trouble keeping up with their grooming, so our team is happy to help step in and clean them with baths, sanitary clips, belly shaves, and more.

Yesterday, our friend Wesley here came in for his groom and enjoyed his spa treatment with a bath and sanitary clip while Dr. Jasmine took care of his medical needs- an annual wellness exam with bloodwork and his vaccines!

At Cat Clinic of Lafayette, we strongly believe in feline-friendly handling practices. Sabor is our own Licensed Veterinary Technician, Kelsey's, sweet old man. Sabor is featured here doing his favorite activity... eating, while getting a new bandage! Sabor needs frequent bandage changes after his surgery and we found we can handle this spunky old man without sedation by simply holding him up gently and feeding him canned food. We strive to work with every cat to ensure they are comfortable and safe any time they walk through our doors for any service, whether that be grooming, boarding, annual exams, or surgeries. Feline Friendly Practice is our passion and happy healthy cats are our goal!

Did you know: We choose to vaccinate with only PureVax vaccines. Why is that? PureVax vaccines are nonadjuvanated, meaning that there are no additives used to help stimulate your cat's immune system. This reduces the chances of undesirable broader inflammatory responses like injection site reactions, granulomas, and chronic inflammation. In fact, PureVax vaccines have no recorded instances of these issues at the injection area. We want only the best for your kitties!

Continuing our celebration of Tech Week, staff received goodie bags today including these great jackets to spread the message about them.

The Cat Clinic of Lafayette has a lot to celebrate this week! This week is and we will be celebrating our team in a special way each day. Today, we get to shine a light on our RVT and Head Nurse, Kelsey. Next month, she will be getting married and it was fun to have a surprise wedding shower for her before the week got into full swing.

Congratulations, Kelsey! Thank you for all that you do for us.

Frida wasn't the grandest thing for once on this Frida Friday as she took out her hot air balloon over the Grand Canyon. She will be back next week to kick off Catober. Safe travels, Frida!

October is Black Cat Awareness Month! What better mascot to celebrate the month of CATober?

Did you know: In Celtic mythology, it was believed that fairies could take the form of black cats. For this reason, their arrival was seen as a sign of good luck!

Today, we’re shining a light on a serious issue: feline obesity. Did you know that over 50% of cats are classified as overweight or obese? This can lead to a host of health problems, including:

🐱 Diabetes: Excess weight can increase the risk of insulin resistance.

🐱 Joint Issues: Extra pounds put pressure on your cat's joints, leading to pain and mobility issues.

🐱 Heart Disease: Obesity can strain the heart, making it work harder than it should.

🐱 Reduced Lifespan: Overweight cats often have a shorter life expectancy and a lower quality of life.

We’re dedicated to helping your cat maintain a healthy weight. We offer personalized nutrition plans and lifestyle tips to keep your kitty fit and happy!

Let’s work together to ensure our furry friends live their best lives. 🐾❤️

Lucas the Maine C**n was 'blown away' by his grooming experience last week. This handsome boy received the spa treatment with a bath and pants trim. Afterwards, he showed off his beautiful fluff while our staff made sure that his luxurious coat was fully dried and brushed out. What a good guy!

Sweet Coco came in to see us last week and brought in her precious litter of kittens! We determined that there were four boys and one little girl, all were growing well, and got them started with a deworming treatment. After their check up, they all took a break for snack time, even Coco. 😍

Gastrotomy- RUBBER Mat Kitty

Here is the video to answer our question from yesterday (🚨Medical Content ALERT 🚨). That sweet little cat ate a piece of RUBBER from an exercise mat 🤦🏻‍♀️🐈 Luckily, Dr. Jasmine & team were able to maneuver the piece of obstructing rubber from the duodenum to the stomach. A gastrotomy, in most circumstances, is safer with less risk of complication than an enterotomy. This cat recovered well after presenting for acute vomiting. 🐱

Screaming Happy Labor Day weekend! Bagheera hopes everyone enjoys their extended weekend as much as he enjoys booty scratches! 😻🐾

Mary made us some fresh biscuits today with her newly trimmed fur boots during her grooming session. She was such a sweet girl! #catvet #catgroomer #bootswiththefur

For today's #FridaFriday , we decided to showcase Frida's most popular trick. She calls this the "peekaboo attack," and we're big fans! 🥷😸 #catclinicoflafayette #catplaying

*warning- medical footage* On Thursdays we do procedures!This sweet girl came in for a spay a few weeks ago but had very severe nasal congestion. While under anesthesia for her spay, Dr. Jasmine Champagne found a nasopharyngeal polyp. Persistent nasal congestion warrants a nasopharyngeal exam under anesthesia. This cat is doing great - normal breathing at recheck. 🐱❤️

Exclusively Cats

Cat Clinic of Lafayette was just a dream to an overzealous veterinary student (me) at LSU School of Veterinary medicine. During my second semester of veterinary school, I learned feline exclusive veterinary clinics existed in New Orleans and Metairie. The shock of this realization was almost too much for a life long feline enthusiast to handle! After visiting these cat only practices, I was enlightened to what a calm, quiet environment created exclusively for cats could do for the species I had the greatest affinity for. I actually said the words out loud to my now husband “Why doesn’t Lafayette have one of these?” My path in veterinary medicine became clear: I would devote my career to cats and the people who love them.

For several years I worked as an associate veterinarian with board certified feline specialists at feline specialty hospitals in Tampa and Ormond Beach Florida. After working with thousands of cats per year, it was time for me to follow my dream of bringing this healing mission for cats back home.

Being back home means everything to me. After all, this is where I fell in love with cats in the first place! I am excited to bring this feline exclusive experience to the fellow cat lovers of Acadiana.
