A note from Dr. Vaughan on July 16th, 2026:

“I’m retiring this week and passing the Directorship on to Dr. Kim Mahoney. Dr. Mahoney is seasoned in both feline medicine and surgery. She has trained with me extensively at FHTC, and she’s ready to lead the program and continue to take care of your patients. She’s working with the best team we’ve ever had. I appreciate each one for their compassion for their patients, their professionalism and courtesy toward clients, and their constant support of the veterinarians.

It has been my privilege to work alongside the veterinarians in this community for 42 years, both in general and then special-interest (hyperthyroidism) practice. I’ve appreciated the relationships I’ve had with so many cats, as well as the conversations I’ve shared with the infinitely interesting people who choose to live with them. There are so many stories; each of us has one.

I’m going to take a few weeks over the summer to sit in the grass, climb some rocks, and look at the stars. Then, I’ll work a few Mondays a month to ease the transition, help with the caseload, and spread as much information as I can about thyroid disease in cats.”

Just a friendly reminder that here at the Hyperthyroid Center, we recommend your senior cat (8 and older) have check ups and lab work run semi-annually with your regular veterinary office.

The goal is to catch medical issues BEFORE you note symptoms.

Often a much better outcome is obtained when a medical issue is caught and treated in the early stages.

Many of the hyperthyroid cats we see have been hyperthyroid for months, sometimes even years!

With regular well-cat visits, you're more likely to catch medical issues (like hyperthyroidism) early on--which could result in far better outcomes.

Here's to a long, long healthy life for your furry friend! 😽😻

Happy November to our senior feline friends and families! We recommend senior cats (Age 8+) visit the veterinarian bi-annually.

The average cat ages around 5 to 10 human years, every year. Imagine going to the doctor once every 10 years?!

Having regular checkups with lab work will help you catch medical issues BEFORE you note symptoms. You will often have a much better outcome when a medical issue is caught and treated in the early stages.

Many of the hyperthyroid cats we see have been hyperthyroid for months to years.
This condition could be caught in the early stages when a senior cat has biannual visits to the veterinarian.

Here's to a long and happy, healthy life for your furry friend! 😽😻😸
