“As every cat owner knows, nobody owns a cat.”
It's hard to tell sometimes whether they're playing with you - or you're playing with them. It's that special bond between you and your cat that makes living with a cat so enjoyable. And while cats are certainly fun and beautiful companions, we must make sure they are getting the proper medical and nutritional care they need to keep them happy and healthy for the years ahead. Over the past 25 years at Care Animal Hospital, we've helped thousands of cats and kittens by protecting them against sickness and disease through routine exams, various tests, and annual vaccinations.
