The Scratching Post Cat Hospital is a full service veterinary practice devoted exclusively to cats. At the Scratching Post Cat Hospital, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive, quality care for each feline to enhance their well-being and quality of life. We schedule longer appointments which allows our veterinarians to do a thorough exam in a calm, unhurried and compassionate atmosphere. Many of our patients respond to this approach. We encourage all family members to come in with their cats for the examinations and ask questions. It is our goal to educate and involve each client in a lifetime care plan for their cat. This allows a team approach that helps each cat live a better quality life.
We believe in: |
- the best care for your cat.
- humanity & compassion.
- good old fashioned service.
- only quality vaccinations/ tests that are appropriate.
- no rushing; we take the time to address all your concerns.
- lots of love & gentle care for cats !

Our spacious, warm, decidedly homey facility and the distinct lack of the presence of dogs provide a calm and low-stress environment for those of the feline persuasion.
The medical and surgical services we provide are extensive; from routine annual exams and vaccinations to laser surgery, radiology, in-house laboratory, full surgical capabilities, dental x-ray & care, preventative and geriatric care.
House calls are available for a variety of services. Housecalls are best for house-bound clients, clients with multiple cats and sensitive cats. Many cats do extremely well getting their annual exams in the familiar environment of their own home.
If you were a cat, you would want to stay at our state of the art Cat Retreat where an entire level of our facility is devoted to ensuring the comfort and enjoyment of cats. 2 Purrsidential suites, multi-level cat condos with unobstructed view of birdfeeders and a state-of-the-art playroom complete with overhead cat walks, ledges, cat trees and a plethora of toys ensure that your cat won't be cramped in a cold, dark cage during their stay with us. Soothing classical music completes this retreat.
