Feline Friendly Practice

Brooklyn Veterinary Hospital is proud to be recognized as a Certified Cat-Friendly Practice by the Feline Veterinary Medical Association (VMA). This distinction highlights our dedication to providing exceptional, stress-free veterinary care tailored to the unique needs of cats.

What is a Certified Cat-Friendly Practice?

The Feline VMA’s Cat-Friendly Practice program sets high standards for feline healthcare providers, ensuring veterinary hospitals create a welcoming and comfortable environment for cats. To achieve this certification, hospitals undergo a comprehensive evaluation of their facilities and protocols and mandate training on feline-specific guidelines for care.

How We Became a Certified Cat-Friendly Practice

Earning Cat-Friendly Practice status required us to enhance our hospital to better accommodate our feline patients. This includes:

• Specialized Staff Training – Our team is educated in feline behavior and handling techniques to minimize stress during visits.
• Cat-Friendly Exam Rooms & Waiting Areas – We’ve designed dedicated areas that are quiet, calm, and free from loud noises and unfamiliar scents.
• Feline-Specific Medical Protocols – From preventive care to advanced treatments, our protocols are tailored to meet the unique health needs of cats.
