Dr. Norrell will not be in the office Wednesday (9/23) through Friday (9/25). She will be attending the annual Feline Veterinary Medical Association conference in Fort Lauderdale. This conference is mandatory for us to maintain our Gold Status Cat Friendly Practice certification, AND it allows Dr Norrell to obtain continuing education that is critical for us to continue to provide the most comprehensive, up to date care for your cats. The clinic will remain open (normal business hours) and staffed with technicians and receptionists to assist you with questions, concerns, medication refills and referrals for care should your cat require medical attention while the doctor is away. Thank you in advance for your support. We are dedicated to providing the best feline healthcare in the area.

Corporate buyout will be the death of veterinary medicine as we know it. Support privately owned practices! Corporations are not changing the names of practices they purchase. Know who owns the practice you choose. We need community support to stay alive.

Why we chose to stay independent 🐾

You may have noticed that many veterinary hospitals today are owned by large corporations.

At Gulf Coast Scratching Post Cat Hospital, we chose a different path.

We remain independently owned because it allows us to keep our focus exactly where it belongs — on cats and the people who love them.

Being independent means we can:

• Design our hospital specifically for feline comfort
• Take the time needed for thoughtful medical care
• Maintain long-term relationships with our clients
• Make medical recommendations based on our professional judgment and your cat’s needs

Most importantly, it allows us to keep veterinary medicine personal.

Every cat has a story, a personality, and a family who loves them. That’s why we built a hospital dedicated to caring for them the way they deserve.

Thank you for supporting independent veterinary medicine and trusting us with your cats. 🐱
