A vet clinic exclusively for cats

At the Cat Vet in Prahran, all staff have an absolute love and compassion for cats. All the vets have qualifications and further studies in feline medicine and have all worked in cat only vet practices before joining our team.

We aim to provide optimal health care for our feline patients, providing a quiet and cat friendly environment. Everything is designed to be specific to their requirements, (especially being dog-free). We have a modern, fully equipped hospital, providing everything for routine health care such as vaccinations, through to managing complex medical problems. Our hospital is equipped with full dental & surgical facilities as well as state of the art laboratory and ultrasound capabilities. The clinic consults closely with specialists in all aspects of medicine and surgery so as to offer optimum health care recommendations for our feline patients.

Richard and Amy have been in cat only practice almost their entire careers as vets. Richard spent 5 years at Australia’s largest cat hospital in Brisbane, the Creek Road Cat Hospital, where he met Amy.

Amy spent 3 years as a senior registrar in feline medicine at the University of Sydney. She joined the Cat Clinic after completing her specialist training residency and is the process of finalising her specialist studies.
