The Cat Clinic The Cat Clinic is a fully functioning veterinary clinic in Hamilton, exclusively for feline patients.

Welcome to The Cat Clinic
Owned by one of the few board certified feline veterinary specialist in Ontario, The Cat Clinic is a full functioning animal hospital in Hamilton specifically for feline patients. Established in 1978, the veterinarians and staff at The Cat Clinic understand the special bond you share with your cat and we strive for compassionate high quality care. We've been around a long time and our whole team is dedicated to staying up to date on current knowledge and techniques in feline medicine. At our hospital we encourage client participation in the decision making process and treat every patient as an individual with dignity and compassion, as if they were our own. Our hospital is equipped to provide your pet with routine medical care which includes Physical examination, laser therapy, digital radiography, ultrasound, dentistry and surgery as well as many other important services and emergency care should the need arise. Please feel free to visit the services section of our website for a more detailed listing. We are active in both community and national charity work supporting cats and their needs. Dr. O'Brien has volunteered her time to go all over the country championing Cat Healthy by creating awareness of responsible cat ownership. Locally we are the founders of the street cat program, this project partners with the hbspca to run a spay/neuter trap and release program for the local feral cats. This helps to control the feline populations, promotes keeping healthier cats and decreases fighting. We often have strays we have “cleaned up” that are in our hospital looking for a new home as well as providing care for several rescues. We also work with The Living Rock, an organization helping “youth at risk” by providing routine veterinary care for their pets. The Cat Clinic welcomes new clients, emergencies, second opinions, transfers and of course our regular clients.

Cat Safety - Decorations

As we gear up for the spooky season, it’s important to remember that Halloween decorations can pose various risks to our feline friends. Here are some things to keep in mind:

🐾Beware of Candles: Flickering candles may set the mood for Halloween, but they can be a dangerous temptation for curious cats. Opt for battery-operated candles to avoid accidents.
🐾Watch Those Cords: Electrical cords for lights and animated decorations might seem like fun toys to cats. Keep them out of reach to prevent chewing and potential electrocution.
🐾Mind the Small Parts: Tiny decorations or pieces like fake spider webs and loose eyeballs can be choking hazards. Ensure these items are securely placed or kept away from your cat.
🐾Avoid Toxic Plants: Some festive plants, can be harmful if ingested. Make sure these are placed where your cat cannot reach them.
🐾Secure Decorations: Cats love to explore and might knock over decorations. Secure them to prevent any falling objects that could injure your pet.

By keeping these tips in mind, you can ensure your home is both festive and feline-friendly. Wishing you and your furry companions a safe and spooktacular Halloween! 🎃✨

🖤👻 DID YOU KNOW OCTOBER IS BLACK CAT AWARENESS MONTH? 🖤👻

While everyone else is getting excited for pumpkin spice and Halloween, we’re shining a spotlight on some of the most misunderstood felines in the world—black cats! 🐈‍⬛🍂

Historically, these gorgeous mini-panthers have faced a lot of unfair myths and superstitions, which sadly means they often spend the longest time waiting in shelters for their forever homes. But anyone who has ever been loved by a black cat knows the truth: they are absolute good luck, pure love, and endlessly entertaining! 🍀✨

Here are a few quick reasons to celebrate and advocate for black cats this October:
🐾 They're natural beauties – That sleek, dark fur and those glowing eyes? Stunning!
🖤 They match everything – Interior design, your favorite dark outfits—they're the ultimate stylish companion.
🏡 They make the best friends – Just like any other cat, they are playful, affectionate, snuggly, and deserve a loving home.

How you can help this month:
1️⃣ SHARE this post to help break the silly superstitions and spread the love!
2️⃣ ADOPT or FOSTER – If you’re looking to add a furry friend to your family, ask your local shelter to meet their black cats.
3️⃣ SHOW THEM OFF!👇

is a reminder for cat owners and caregivers that arthritis is very common in older cats but may go undiagnosed because cats are masters of hiding discomfort and pain.

🐈 Some subtle signs include becoming less mobile and less active, and changes in temperament and the way they groom.

Brushing or combing your cat is a good opportunity to do a general health check. In addition to keeping the coat healthy and removing loose hair, you can also check for external parasites, lumps, wounds, or other physical changes.

Safe Halloween Costumes

Thinking about dressing up your feline friend for Halloween? While adorable, it's essential to ensure your cat's costume is safe and comfortable. Choose costumes that don't restrict movement or breathing, and always keep an eye on their comfort levels. If your cat seems stressed, it's best to skip the dress-up and let them enjoy the spooky season in their natural fur! 🐾

Chunky Monkey 🐾

Hello, cat parents! Today, we’re turning our attention to our beloved Chunky Monkeys—those cats who are prone to obesity and the health challenges it brings. Obesity in cats can lead to numerous health issues, including diabetes, joint problems, and heart disease, so managing their weight is crucial for their well-being. Typically we can see indication that obesity could become an issue based on their Body Condition Score and hopefully interveining prior to it being an issue where they need a formal weight loss plan.

Nutrition Tips for Obesity-Prone Cats
🐈Portion Control: Measure your cat's food to avoid overfeeding. Follow the feeding guidelines on your cat food packaging as a starting point.
🐈High-Protein, Low-Carb Diet: Choose a diet that is rich in protein but low in carbohydrates to help maintain muscle mass while shedding extra pounds.
🐈Fiber-Rich Foods: Incorporate foods high in fiber to promote satiety and help manage your cat's appetite.
🐈Scheduled Feeding: Stick to regular meal times instead of free-feeding. This helps regulate your cat's metabolism and prevents overeating.
🐈Treat Wisely: Opt for low-calorie treats and limit them to special occasions or as rewards for exercise.

General Diet Recommendation: Royal Canin Satiety Support

Creating a lifestyle that includes playtime and exercise, in addition to a proper diet, will ensure that your cat stays fit and healthy. Remember, these are general guidelines. Always consult your vet for personalized dietary advice.
