🧡🐈 Happy Ginger Cat Appreciation Day! 🐈🧡

Today we celebrate the orange tabbies who bring sunshine, sass, and just the right amount of chaos into our lives.

As veterinary professionals, we can confirm that ginger cats are experts in:
🐾Demanding snacks with unwavering confidence
🐾Supervising every household activity
🐾Providing unsolicited lap therapy
🐾Acting completely innocent despite the evidence

Whether your ginger is sweet, spicy, cuddly, or convinced they run the household (which they do), give them an extra treat and a little appreciation today!

If you're the proud property of a ginger cat, share your gorgeous baby with us today!

📚🐾 Back to School! 🐾📚

As a new school year begins, we’re cheering on all of our amazing veterinary assistants and team members who are continuing their education in vet tech school, veterinary programs, and beyond!

We’re so proud of the dedication, hard work, and passion you bring to both the classroom and our patients. Balancing school and veterinary medicine isn’t easy, but every long study session and early morning is bringing you one step closer to your goals.

You’ve got this! We’re proud to have you on our team and can’t wait to see all you accomplish!

If you see Brailyn, Sam, or April, be sure to congratulate them (and maybe offer them a coffee to get through those late night study sessions).

🐱 Happy Take Your Cat to the Vet Day! 🐾

You may not know it, but your cat is an expert. How do I know that? Because every cat is an expert when it comes to hiding the fact that something isn't quite right with them.

That's one of the reason's it's so important to take your cat to the vet regularly. A routine wellness exam can help catch potential health concerns even in a cat that seems perfectly healthy. And early detection can allow us to keep your cat feeling their best!

As you can tell from this photo, even the tiniest kitten needs veterinary care! Early wellness exams allow your vet to make sure the kitten is growing and developing properly, can detect potential congenital defects, and can give your kitty friend a great start with vaccinations, parasite prevention, and nutritional needs.

The team here at CVH is proud to always provide feline-friendly veterinary care that's designed specifically with cats in mind. From a dedicated waiting area and exam rooms just for our cat clients to specialized training on low-stress handling of frightened cats, we strive to make every visit as positive, calm, and comfortable as we can.

So whether your best feline friend is a tiny kitten, a precocious adult, or a distinguished elder states-cat, today is a great reminder to schedule your next wellness visit.

Give those whiskered wonders an extra cuddle from us today, and let's keep them happy, healthy, and purring for years to come with regular veterinary exams.

It should come as no surprise that there is an international holiday for our feline overlords. From curious tails to twitching whiskers, cats embody mystery, mischief, and unconditional companionship. Whether they're chasing sunbeams, ruling the house from the highest perch, or curling up beside us after a long day, our feline friends have a special way of making every moment a little brighter. Today, we celebrate the boundless purrs, the playful antics, and the unique personalities that have earned cats a cherished place in our hearts and homes.

Happy International Cat Day to every whiskered companion who reminds us that life is better with a little feline magic. 🐾

August is National Immunization Awareness Month, so it's a good time to make sure your pets are up-to-date and protected! Not only is this important for the comfort and safety of your pets, but it might be important for protecting other pets and people in your household.

Certain vaccines are considered "core" and recommended for everyone. Others are "non-core" and recommended based on a pet's environment and exposure risk. Of course, decisions about what vaccinations your pet needs are determined in conversation with your vet.

Check out the link below for information on recommended vaccinations, and give us a call with any questions!

If you've been to CVH anytime in the last three years, you may have had the pleasure of meeting one of our finest veterinary assistants: April Hale! It is with a bittersweet heart that we announce that after three incredible years with our team, it's time to say goodbye to April as she begins an exciting new chapter... veterinary school!

From comforting nervous pets and reassuring worried owners to jumping in wherever she was needed, April has been an invaluable part of our family. Her compassion, dedication, and love for every patient have made a lasting impact on our team, our clients, and the countless animals she's cared for.

While we're going to miss her friendly smile, positive attitude, and unwavering work ethic, we couldn't be more excited to watch her pursue her dream of becoming a veterinarian. We have no doubt she'll make an exceptional doctor, and we're so proud to have been a small part of her journey.

Please join us in wishing April the very best as she takes this next step. We know amazing things are ahead, and we'll be cheering her on every step of the way.

Congratulations, April! Your future patients are so lucky to have you. ❤️🐾🎓

🌿 Remember Sage? 🌿

Sage was an incredible mama cat, fostered by Dr. Luzaich, who lovingly raised her kittens and gave them the very best start in life. Now that they've grown and have been adopted, it's finally Sage's turn to be the one who's cared for and cherished! She is a young cat, who has spent her life taking care of everyone else—now she's ready for a forever home where she can be the center of attention and receive all the love she deserves.

Sage has shown herself to be as sweet as they come. She's affectionate, gentle, and loves spending time with her people. With her calm personality and loving nature, she'll make a wonderful companion for someone looking for an all-around amazing feline friend.

If you think Sage could be the perfect addition to your family, please contact the Nelson County SPCA. And if you're not looking to adopt, sharing her story could help her find the loving home she's been waiting for! 🐾
