At Multifauna Veterinary Clinic we are modernizing our facilities and practices to obtain the Cat Friendly Clinic certificate.
What is the Cat Friendly Clinic Certificate?
The Cat Friendly Clinic (or cat-friendly clinic) certification is awarded by the International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM).
Due to the unique nature and needs of cats, taking your cat to a veterinary center can be very stressful for both the cat and its guardian. The Cat Friendly Clinic program is designed to help address these issues by creating cat-friendly veterinary clinics and thus reducing their stress by making it easier for carers to visit the veterinary centre.
Why do we think it is important to be a Cat Friendly veterinary clinic?
The cat is part of the family, and as such, we want it to be healthy and happy. Perform regular reviews and exams in the veterinary clinic, help to take care of it, extend its life and make it healthy.
We know, however, that there are unique difficulties in bringing your cat to the veterinary clinic:
- Cats often do not travel well and feel unsafe away from home.
- They are very sensitive to new sights, sounds and smells.
- Most cats prefer quiet and solitude and are highly susceptible to stress.
- Most cats get stressed in the presence of dogs, a situation that can happen when they come to the veterinary clinic.
Trying to avoid upsetting your cat or causing him stress associated with a trip to the vet is understandable, but it could harm their health. At Multifauna, we want to help to minimize as much as possible stress during the veterinary visit. Therefore we have adapted our facilities and veterinary practices, specifically for cats.
