PAW Wellness Plans

Our Pet Annual Wellness Plans provide comprehensive preventive care for cats at all life stages. These plans help manage routine healthcare needs while reducing unexpected costs through structured preventive services. Our customized approach ensures your cat receives appropriate vaccinations, dental care, and diagnostic screenings based on age and health status.

Dentistry

We offer complete dental care including cleanings, extractions, and oral disease management. Our specialized equipment detects hidden dental issues while our gentle techniques minimize stress for feline patients. Regular dental maintenance prevents systemic health problems associated with oral disease in cats.

Diagnostic Imaging

Our facility features advanced radiography and ultrasound capabilities for accurate internal diagnostics. These tools help identify injuries, organ abnormalities, and chronic conditions through non-invasive procedures tailored to feline physiology and stress reduction.

Soft Tissue Surgery

We perform various soft tissue procedures including spays, neuters, and mass removals using modern anesthetic protocols. Our surgical suite maintains strict sterility standards while our post-operative care focuses on pain management and stress-free recovery environments for cats.

Behavioral Medicine

Our specialists address feline behavioral issues through comprehensive evaluations that consider both physical and emotional health factors. We develop customized treatment plans for anxiety, aggression, and other behavior problems using cat-friendly handling techniques and environmental enrichment strategies.

Apr 14, 2022 Report

I have been going to Feline Medical Center for my cats various needs since my cat was a baby (almost 15 years). They have always provided the best care and advice for her. Going to the vet is extremely stressful on her and myself as she was born to a feral mother and still has some of those tendencies towards unfamiliarity. Dr. Sims does whatever possible to make it easier on the both of us and is very clear with instructions on medication and how to best help my cat now that she's in her senior years.

I've recently gotten a baby kitten, who sees Dr. Moran - our first time working with her. Our expectations (due to experience with Dr. Sims) were completely upheld in every way. The care and love these ladies have is so apparent and unmatched. They are always so thorough and have both exceeded my expectations. I would recommend going to them for all cat related veterinary services. I drive over an hour for my kitties vet visits so they can have the absolute best and that is without a doubt Feline Medical Center.

I trust the Feline Medical Center with the health and well-being of all my pet cats. Recently I had a cat go into convulsions at home and go limp. I rushed her to the Feline Medical Center, where the staff took quite a bit of time trying to revive her (without success). I felt that they'd more than done their job. My most recent appointment was with a new cat, and they paid attention to every little detail with her. They also somehow managed to clip her very long claws (yes!) I recommend them.

They are very thorough with the physical examinations. They are cat specialists and can diagnose difficult cases. They give you details about your cat's diagnosis. The environment is very relaxing for cats. No dogs barking, etc. They love and care about their kitty clients. I highly recommend them.

I can not praise these people enough. They took us in fast with an emergency situation last week. Their knowledge, kindness, compassion, and empathy for what they do is amazing. We are still treating our very loved cat and aren't out of the woods yet, but it brings a lot of comfort to know we have them by our side for his care.
