Cat-Friendly Care
Designed for Every Feline
At Litchfield Veterinary Hospital, we know cats are unique — and their veterinary care should be too. Many cats feel anxious about leaving the comfort of home, which can make routine visits stressful for both cats and their families. Yet preventive care is one of the most important ways to keep your cat healthy, comfortable, and living a long, comfortable life.
Our Commitment as a Cat Friendly Practice®
We’ve committed to creating a calm, supportive environment through the Cat Friendly Practice® (CFP) Program. Developed by the Feline Veterinary Medical Association (formerly the American Association of Feline Practitioners) and International Cat Care (formerly the International Society for Feline Medicine), this program sets rigorous standards for feline care — and we’re proud to have earned this designation.
What Being Cat Friendly Means
Standards You Can Count On
As a Cat Friendly Practice®, you can expect:
- Gentle handling: Our team is specially trained to approach cats with empathy, patience, and respect.
- Stress-reducing spaces: Our facilities include dedicated feline exam rooms and a quiet cat ward, designed to help cats feel secure and comfortable.
- Feline-specific expertise: We use the right equipment and techniques to diagnose and treat conditions unique to cats.
- Compassionate hospitalization: For cats who need to stay with us, we provide quiet, comforting care that meets strict welfare standards.
From our dedicated feline exam rooms to our quiet cat ward, every aspect of our facility is designed with your cat’s comfort in mind.
