Cat Friendly Clinic is a pioneering initiative developed by the International Society of Feline Medicine, a division of the charity International Cat Care. This program aims to alleviate the stress often experienced by cats and their caregivers during veterinary visits. By promoting the establishment of Cat Friendly Clinics worldwide, the program enhances the experience for both pets and owners, creating a more comforting environment tailored to the unique needs of felines.

Clinics participating in this program are awarded Bronze, Silver, or Gold status based on their commitment to creating a cat-friendly space. The initiative not only educates veterinary professionals on best practices for interacting with cats but also provides essential resources and training. Cat Friendly Clinic gives pet owners the tools they need to encourage their veterinarians to adopt these compassionate practices, ensuring that every visit is a little easier.
