NEW CLINIC & IMPORTANT DATES
We’re excited to share some great news! St. Louis Cat Clinic is moving to a new and improved location to better serve you and your feline family members. Our new clinic will be located at:
4301 Hampton Ave, Suite 150
St. Louis, MO 63109
Our new clinic is in a shared building with the Bank of America. Our entrance faces Hampton Avenue. Bank of America's entrance is on the left and our entrance is on the right.
There is parking available directly in front of the building. Should the east parking lot be full, there is additional parking available in the rear of the building. The doors facing the west parking lot do not access our facility, so you would need to walk around to the front to access our entrance. The two parking lots are circled in red in the picture below.
We will be closed on Thursday, November 7 and Friday, November 8 while we move into our new space and will reopen on Monday, November 11.
You can continue to book your appointments easily either online through our website https://stlouiscatclinic.com/ or over the phone by giving us a call 314.832.2287.
Our entire system will be shut down Wednesday, November 6 at end of day until we reopen Monday, November 11 in our new location. We will not be reachable by phone, text, or email during this time.
If you need any medication or food refills from us or from our partner pharmacies (Lindenwood, our online pharmacy [VetCove], Chewy, etc.), please put in all refill requests by end of day on Monday, November 4. No refill requests will be processed after this time. All refill pickups must be completed by 5pm on Wednesday, November 6.
If you have a medical emergency during the time we are closed, we recommend taking your cat to Veterinary Specialty Services (VSS) (636-227-6100) at Manchester and 141. We will not be available to give medical advice or answer questions during this time.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this critical time. We look forward to seeing you in our new location and continuing to serve you and your feline friends.

Why are black cats associated with Halloween? One reason may be that Celtic legend has it that if you left milk out on Halloween for the Faerie King of Cats - a magical black cat with a white spot on his chest - he would bless your house. I don’t know about that, but I was always blessed with lots of candy when I’d go out dressed as a black cat for Halloween, which I’d do almost every year!
October 27th is National Black Cat Day, a day dedicated to celebrating black cats in the hopes that more of you will bring one home from a shelter, as almost twice as many are left there compared to other tabbies. This is because many consider them to be unlucky, or even, as Pope Gregory IX declared...

People describe cats as curious, entertaining, lovable, affectionate, aloof, individual, endearing and a host of other adjectives. The doctors and staff at the St. Louis Cat Clinic regard the care and nurturing of cats a special calling.
Cats are not simply small dogs. A cat is an animal with unique diseases, behavior, personality and care requirements. Feline behavior and a cat's medical needs require the expertise of professionals who have dedicated their practice to the care and love of cats and those special people who choose to share their lives with cats.
Cats do not read the veterinary text books and follow the typical clinical symptoms of a disease like a dog. A cat does not follow rules. It does what it wants to do. It takes a veterinarian who is used to thinking in the cat’s terms to recognize the subtle symptoms and idiosyncrasies of a cat. It takes a veterinarian with a depth of experience, special knowledge and a passionate interest in cats to effectively diagnose and treat conditions unique to felines, and to effectively communicate the best recommendation to the cat’s caregivers in a friendly, caring and professional manner.
You may be unaware that cats are commonly afflicted with diseases such as diabetes and excessive thyroid hormone. Certain conditions are very specific to certain breeds of cats. Cats require specific nutrients and diets that meet needs matched to their life stage. They may be susceptible to heart enlargement and even unique cancers. Behavioral problems may be causing them to be less than welcome, but these may be mitigated with appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Contagious diseases such as leukemia, distemper, respiratory infections, rabies and even feline immunodeficiency virus can afflict our cat friends and can be largely controlled with vaccinations and good husbandry practices. And, of course, common parasitic conditions, both external and internal can be virtually eliminated.
Our doctors and their staff have devoted their practice to these patients. Everyone at the St. Louis Cat Clinic has cats of their own. They are very familiar with cat behavior and medical problems. When you call for information or to schedule a visit, our receptionists are not only trained to schedule your visit but to help identify urgent situations that may require a more immediate response.
The veterinary assistants and veterinary technicians at St. Louis Cat Clinic provide compassionate care in a friendly environment that their patients love. The fact that they work exclusively with cats allows your special pet to thrive in a relaxed and accommodating environment.
The clinic is quiet and free of barking dogs. During its stay your cat is provided with a cat bed and soft towels or quilts to foster the seclusion and comfort they enjoy. Boxes are provided for shy cats to hide and cage door covers help facilitate their security. Toys are provided in cages for entertainment and enrichment. Hands to stroke, comfort and induce a good purr are always ready.
For more information, call the St. Louis Cat Clinic at 314-832-2287, or visit them at 3460 Hampton Avenue.
