The Cat Friendly label is approved by the International Society of Feline Medicine and follows the recommendations of International Cat Care. It is validated by independent organizations through a certification system that ensures exceptional attention to the needs of cats.
This label signifies that we make the necessary efforts to:
•Understand the nature of cats and create a veterinary clinic experience that is as welcoming and stress-free as possible.
•Approach and handle cats with care, caution, and respect, ensuring the use of appropriate knowledge and specialized equipment to address their unique needs.
We recognize that a visit to the vet can be challenging for cats, and many factors can increase their stress levels, such as:
•Travel, which is often difficult and unsettling for cats outside their familiar environment.
•Unfamiliar surroundings and new smells.
•Unusual handling during examinations.
Our clinic, La Petite Clinique Vétérinaire, is officially accredited as a “Cat Friendly Clinic – GOLD”.
This prestigious certification indicates that we provide the highest standard of care for cats, ensuring:
•A separate, dedicated area where cats can feel secure and comfortable during their visit.
•Hospitalization facilities in rooms separate from other species, with calming pheromones diffused continuously. For extended stays, cats are provided with spacious cages that allow them to rest, hide, and play.
•Handling and restraint methods designed to minimize stress. When necessary, gentle restraint or sedation is used to prevent unpleasant memories of overly invasive procedures.
•Access to state-of-the-art equipment and tools tailored to feline care, such as blood pressure monitors, digital radiography, ultrasound, heated mats, and syringe pumps.
•A commitment to the “Cat Friendly Clinic” philosophy by all team members, including veterinary assistants and veterinarians.
If you have any questions or concerns about your cat’s visit to our clinic, please don’t hesitate to speak to a member of our team. We are here to help and ensure the best possible experience for you and your feline companion.
