Boston’s North End
Cat-Friendly Vet Care
Calm. Quiet. Cat-focused. At Boston Animal Hospital – North Station, we’ve created a feline-friendly experience with dedicated exam rooms, stress-reducing techniques, and care that’s built around your cat’s unique needs.
Certified Cat-Friendly Care at North Station
Cats aren’t just small dogs — they have their own language, preferences, and stress triggers. That’s why we’ve designed a care environment that supports their comfort at every step. Our North Station location is proud to be certified by the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) as a Cat Friendly Practice®. This designation reflects our commitment to compassionate, low-stress care for cats of all breeds and temperaments.
We understand the challenges that can come with scheduling a cat vet appointment, from car rides to unfamiliar noises and scents. That’s why we’ve created an experience that makes visits easier on both cats and their people.
Feline Comfort
What Makes Our Feline-Only Exam Room Different?
Our cat-only exam room is designed to reduce fear and overstimulation during your cat’s visit. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Separate feline exam space: No dogs allowed. Our dedicated cat room is insulated from the sights, sounds, and smells of canine patients.
- Pheromone diffusers: Feliway® and other calming pheromones help ease tension from the moment your cat enters the room.
- Minimized waiting time: We escort you directly into a room when possible to avoid time in the lobby.
- Cat-handling techniques: Our team is trained in feline behavior and low-stress handling to avoid restraint whenever possible.
- Temperature and lighting adjustments: We maintain a quiet, warm environment to support your cat’s natural instincts and comfort.
Whether your cat is due for their annual checkup or needs care for a chronic condition, we take every measure to make their visit safe, respectful, and fear-free.
