Cat-Friendly Practice in Tucson, AZ
As part of our dedication to your pets’ lasting comfort and health, Cimarron Animal Hospital has been certified as a Cat Friendly Practice in Tucson, AZ, by the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP). Cats are more than just smaller versions of dogs; they have unique needs, behaviors, and sensitivities that require specialized care. Our approach combines advanced feline medicine with genuine compassion to ensure your cat’s experience is as stress-free as possible.
Special Accommodations for Cats
We’ve made thoughtful modifications throughout our hospital to ensure your cat feels safe and comfortable:
- Dedicated Cat-Only Waiting Area: We feature a separate space to keep your cat away from dogs and minimize stress.
- Pheromone Therapy: We use feline-friendly pheromones to create a calming atmosphere.
- Comfort Towels: Towels are available to cover carriers, allowing cats to feel hidden and secure.
- Exclusive Cat Exam Room: We have a dedicated exam space for cats designed with soothing music, treats, and plenty of space for our feline patients to explore.
- Cat-Preferred Exam Techniques: Whenever possible, we perform exams where your cat feels most at ease, whether that’s in their carrier, on a lap, or freely exploring the room.
- Gentle Restraint Options: For necessary procedures, we use minimal restraint and offer sedation if needed—always with your consent.
- Quiet Housing: Our cat boarding area is located far from dogs and equipped with hideaways for added comfort.
