At Whiskers Vets, we know cats aren’t just small dogs – they have unique needs, behaviours, and personalities that deserve special care. That’s why we’re proud to be part of the ISFM Cat Friendly Clinic programme, an international initiative designed to make vet visits less stressful and more positive for both cats and their owners.

What is a Cat Friendly Clinic?

The Cat Friendly Clinic programme, developed by the International Society of Feline Medicine, sets high standards for feline care in veterinary practices. Clinics are assessed on everything from the design of the waiting room to the way cats are handled during exams. It’s all about reducing stress, ensuring gentle handling, and creating an environment where cats feel safe.

Why it matters for cat owners:

  • Less stress for your cat – We have quiet spaces in our waiting area to help your cat stay calm from the moment you arrive.
  • Gentle, respectful handling – Our team is trained in feline-friendly techniques to minimise fear and anxiety.
  • Tailored healthcare – We understand subtle signs of illness in cats, so we can spot problems early and keep your cat healthier for longer.

The benefits for your cat’s health:

Many cats see the vet far less often than they should – not because their owners don’t care, but because the stress of the visit can put everyone off. By making every visit as calm and comfortable as possible, we can provide the preventative care and early treatment that helps cats live longer, happier lives.

At Whiskers Vets, every detail of our service is designed with your cat in mind – from soft bedding and hideaways to gentle handling and a calm, respectful approach. We work in partnership with you to create a personalised healthcare plan so your cat gets the care they deserve, without the stress or drama.
