Cat Clinic

Welcome to the Truro Vet Hospital Cat Clinic

Cats experience the world differently than dogs — and their veterinary care should reflect that.

The Truro Vet Hospital Cat Clinic was created with one purpose in mind: to provide cats with veterinary care in an environment designed exclusively for their unique needs. From the moment you arrive, every detail of our cat clinic is intentionally calm, quiet, and feline-focused to reduce fear, stress, and anxiety.

Why a Cat-Only Clinic Matters

For many cats, a visit to the veterinarian can be overwhelming. Unfamiliar smells, sounds, and the presence of dogs can trigger fear responses that make examinations stressful for both cats and their caregivers. Stress doesn’t just affect behaviour — it can mask symptoms, alter vital signs, and impact overall health outcomes.

A dedicated cat clinic eliminates many of these stressors. By removing dogs and dog-related noise and scent, we create a safer, more predictable environment where cats can relax, allowing our veterinary team to provide more accurate assessments and gentler care.

Low-Stress Handling: Better Care Through Compassion

Low-stress handling is at the heart of everything we do. Our team is trained to read feline body language, move at the cat’s pace, and use handling techniques that prioritize comfort, choice, and trust.

This approach means:

· Fewer restraints and forceful techniques

· Shorter, more positive visits

· Reduced fear and anxiety over time

· Improved cooperation and safety

· More accurate exams and diagnostics

When cats feel safe, they show us who they truly are — and that leads to better veterinary care and better long-term health.

Familiar Faces, A New Space

While the environment is new, the people caring for your cat are the same trusted team you already know. The veterinarians, registered veterinary technicians, and support staff from Truro Vet Hospital also provide care at the Cat Clinic.

This continuity means your cat benefits from a familiar medical team that already understands their history, personality, and needs — now working in a space designed specifically to make feline visits calmer and more comfortable.
