CAT CARE BY CAT PEOPLE
Why a Hospital Just For Cats?
Because we have a special affection for them, and understand that they require a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere, gentle handling techniques, and a hospital team trained in the subtle social and medical nuances that make a cat a cat.
Thank you for trusting us to care for your feline family.
We are so grateful to share our workday with wonderful clients and their cats!
We wish all of our favorite felines and their families health and happiness!
To show our appreciation for your faith in us, each time you refer a NEW client,
we’ll send you a $25 gift certificate in the month following their first visit.

WHY CATS ONLY
We’re Idaho’s First & Only Veterinary Hospital & Hotel Just For Cats!
Because we have a special affection for them, and understand that they require a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere, gentle handling techniques, and a hospital team trained in the subtle social and medical nuances that make a cat a cat.
There are no frightening dog smells and sounds. The equipment, protocols, and facility are cat-designed for efficiency, safety and cost-effectiveness, providing a sense of security – for both of you.
Our carefully trained health care team is devoted to cats and their owner family. Even the most difficult or scared patients are handled lovingly and with expertise.
Finally, we stay current in all aspects of feline medicine and behavior. We don’t divide our attention and resources between cats, dogs, birds, ferrets or horses.
We do cats – only cats – every day and we love it!

DENTISTRY
Most of us spend time grooming, feeding, and playing with our cats but we might not spend much time brushing their teeth. Your cats’ oral health is an important part of their overall well-being. We recommend annual oral exams to evaluate your friends’ teeth and gums and to make recommendations to deter and delay the onset of periodontal disease, as well as to treat existing problems.
