At Albuquerque Cat Clinic, we believe that the bond between cats and their caretakers is extremely special. We also believe that protecting and preserving our feline patients’ health, both physical and mental, is essential to the continuance of this bond.

We strive to continually exceed our clients’ expectations in the care and treatment of their feline companions. We recognize that visits to the veterinarian can be stressful for both cat and owner. We work diligently to provide a quiet, relaxing environment and excellent customer service in order to create an experience that is as pleasant as possible.

At Albuquerque Cat Clinic, we recommend that your cat be examined at least once a year. Before the exam, you will fill out a history form that will help the doctor pinpoint any potential problems. During the course of the exam, the doctor will look over your cat’s skin, teeth, eyes and ears. She will also listen to the heart and lungs, and palpate the abdomen to detect abnormalities. Further examination of specific systems may be necessary if anything unusual is found. If the exam is normal, any vaccines that may be recommended or required can be administered.

Twice-yearly exams are strongly recommended for patients over seven years of age and for patients with a chronic illness or disease. Because cats age much faster than humans, this would be the equivalent of a person getting an exam every 3-4 years. If your cat is over seven years of age, you will receive reminder cards from us every six months.

At Albuquerque Cat Clinic, we do not administer vaccines or perform elective surgical procedures without a current examination. These are serious medical events in your pet's life, and it is imperative that we know the health status of the car prior to performing them.

We understand it is a very stressful event when your beloved pet becomes ill or is injured. We at Albuquerque Cat Clinic will do our best to help you understand you cat’s medical problems and treatment options.

When you bring in your sick or injured cat, we will ask you to fill out a thorough history form to help us discover the cause of your pet’s problem. A complete physical exam will then be performed. At this point, the doctor may recommend further lab tests or x-rays to aid in diagnosis. When a diagnosis is reached, you will be informed of the best treatment options for your pet’s condition.

We will make every effort to provide you with accurate estimates and a realistic prognosis prior to proceeding with any diagnostic or treatment.
