The Veterinary Cat Clinic

The Veterinary Cat Clinic is a cat-only practice in Edinburgh and says it was the UK’s first cat-only veterinary practice, established in 1995. It operates as an Employee Ownership Trust and lists ICC and ISFM membership. Recent feedback continues to highlight calm handling of anxious cats and a consult style owners describe as caring rather than pushy.

• •Preventive and routine services such as vaccinations, nail trims, blood pressure checks, repeat injectable medication appointments, and repeat prescription requests.
