The Cat Doctor & Friends - Veterinarian In Santa Clarita, CA USA

Welcome to The Cat Doctor & Friends

Utilizing both careful, thorough history taking and physical exams along with digital radiography, ultrasound examination and intraoperative cardiac/respiratory monitors, The Cat Doctor & Friends strives to create a cat and people friendly atmosphere where illness and injuries are rapidly diagnosed and compassionately treated, or better yet prevented.

A common misconception among cat lovers is the assumption that cats that spend their time indoors don't need veterinary care "unless they are sick". Cats who don't come in for annual wellness exams may develop dental disease (since they won't brush their teeth) which can lead to heart, liver or kidney disease. A little preventative care can go a long way. Vaccinations are especially important for kittens, but even indoor cats will need occasional vaccine "boosters" during their adult lives.

Instead of the usual 15-20 minute appointment, Dr. Tracy McFarland, Dr. Rebecca Palmer and Dr. Kendra Decile enjoy the luxury of half-hour appointments. Longer appointments allow time spent discussing your nutritional and behavioral concerns in addition to wellness care and medical, surgical or dental diagnosis and treatment. The Cat Doctor & Friends is located in 4300 square feet, with six exam rooms, including a Zen room where Dr. McFarland, a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturiist, performs acupuncture to relieve chronic pain and improve nerve function.
