North Illinois Cat Clinic The Northern Illinois Cat Clinic in Libertyville, Illinois is Lake County's first and foremost veterinary clinic dedicated to the health and well being of cats. Our Mission is to communicate compassion and respect to our clients in a home-like hospital setting by providing exceptional patient service based on the highest quality of care. Our staff has a deep, loving, and enduring dedication to the health and well being of each patient. Feline medicine and surgery have been our only mission since we were founded in 1982.
Services
We have seen it all, this means your kitty is diagnosed fast and most importantly gets better quickly. Dr. Schmidt has dedicated the last 36 years to feline specific veterinary medicine; Dr. Miller, the last 20. Every year veterinarians must complete 20 hours of "continuing education" to maintain their professional license.
We are a full-service veterinary clinic for cat care only. We offer kitten to senior cat health care and everything in between. Your cat may already have specific symptoms or a diagnosed disease. We see many second opinions and have a reputation for successfully diagnosing and treating complicated cases.
At Northern Illinois Cat Clinic, you and your cat are treated like family. We begin the tour in our home-like reception area where there are no barking dogs or loud noises to scare your furry companion. The environment is calm and relaxed, many cats who normally are very stressed for their veterinary visits do surprisingly well at our office.
At Northern Illinois Cat Clinic, we recommend your cat should have a dental checkup annually. Cats are very proficient at hiding symptoms of pain or illness. Bad breath is the only symptom of dental problems that you are at all likely to observe in your cat. If your cat has noticeable bad breath, you should schedule a dental exam with your veterinarian.

I am so happy we found Northern Illinois Cat Clinic! They always treat our fur babies with such loving kindness. Dr. Miller takes the time to answer my questions, I never feel rushed out of the visit. Someone always checks in the day after every visit to make sure kitties are doing alright. Nicole has gone above and beyond to help me schedule visits around my crazy work schedule. Saffron and Salem are forever grateful and so am I!

If you care about your kitties like we do and want specialization in cats, this is a good place to go. Although the bills do add up quite fast.

We have used Northern Illinois Cat Clinic for several years. They are a wonderful place that shows a lot of love for cats. We have also boarded our cats there and have been very satisfied. Dr. Miller is a very caring and compassionate provider, and all of the technicians are as well. We highly recommend this practice

I took my cats to the Northern Illinois Cat Clinic for 20 years. Most recently my cat suffered from several serious illnesses and required frequent veterinary intervention. Everyone on the staff are caring and compassionate. We have moved out of the area and I wish I could find a clinic like theirs in our new location.

I have taken my cats to Northern Illinois Cat Clinic since 1996. Three of the five cats I have had were or are patients of Dr. Miller. As a health care provider myself, I appreciate the strong clinical presence and professional conduct of the doctors and staff. You are in good hands.

I've been taking my cats to Northern Illinois Cat Clinic since 2006. Drs. Miller and Schmidt have treated my four cats for numerous conditions and routine care. I appreciate having a clinic that is cat-exclusive. One of our cats has been treated for t-cell lymphoma for three years, another has serious dental issues, a third has chronic eye issues, and the fourth is generally healthy, but is VERY difficult to handle.

The techs are warm, friendly and very skilled, and the vets are thorough, knowledgeable and take time to explain procedures and options. Yes, the care is expensive, but the vets and staff respect decisions made by the pet parent, and I have never felt pressured by a sales pitch from anyone. Unlike other veterinary clinics, I have been able to go into the examining room with my cats for every single visit during the COVID restrictions, which I appreciate. At this vet, you pay for the best care for your cats, and you receive the best care.

My cat Snickers was fighting cancer and we knew we didn't have much time with her. The vets and staff did a wonderful job trying to make her as comfortable as possible during this time. When we did have to say goodbye, I couldn't have asked for a better place to do so. It was very sad, but also very calm and peaceful. I'll never forget the vet telling us how beautiful our baby was, even in death. They also mailed us a card signed by the vets and staff with their condolences.

The doctors and staff at northern Illinois cat clinic are fantastic. Our cats get so much care and attention every time we go. And the offices are so nice for cats. It's calm, comfortable, no barking dogs to worry about, and that makes each visit a lot easier on the cats and us cat parents, too.
