Cat Veterinary Services
Foothills Veterinary Hospital supports your feline friends
Since 2007, the veterinarians and support staff at Foothills Veterinary Hospital have sought to achieve the highest standards of veterinary medicine. We feel that cats are part of the family, yours and ours. Our clients’ response to the care we provide is the strongest testament to the quality of care we provide for their cats.
The Foothills Veterinary Hospital offers preventative health care as well as advanced diagnostic and surgical services. Our commitment to quality service has led our hospital to become well known and respected throughout the veterinary industry. Our hospital has been accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association.
We Support Every Stage Of Your Cat’s Life
As your feline friend grows, they will move through six distinct stages of life:
- Kitten: 0-6 months
- Junior: 7 months – 2 years
- Prime: 3 – 6 years
- Mature: 7 – 10 years
- Senior: 11 – 14 years
- Geriatric: 15+ years
Naturally, as a cat grows and progresses through life, it will undergo physiological changes and face a variety of life events that will require care and attention. From kitten care to geriatric cat medicine, consistent preventive care can make all the difference in the quality of life of your cat. Ultimately your cat’s health will impact your relationship with them.
Cats are very good at hiding illness. In fact, most cats will simply become less active and less interactive when very ill. Any signs of illness that a cat may show will be very subtle. Any change in their behavior should warrant a consideration that they may be ill. Many clients will return from work to find that their cat simply does not greet them at the door as usual. This may be an indication that your cat is ill. Because the signs of cat illness are so subtle, if you should notice any obvious changes in behavior please call our office.
If you happen to need urgent care for your cat during the weekend, our sister hospital Bozeman Pet Hospital can help. They are open Saturday and Sunday, 9am to 9pm, and have access to your cat’s records! If you need urgent help outside our and Bozeman Pet Hospital’s hours, we will refer you to Pets Emergency Hospital – 406 587-3996, an emergency clinic nearby.
A Cat Friendly Hospital
Because the medical needs of cats are unique, our hospital utilizes specialized equipment, training of employees and facilities friendly to felines. We have a feline examination room and we minimize stress by utilizing feline pheromones and soft cozy surfaces which will allow most cats to feel safe and secure. Our staff are trained to allow cats to move at their own pace which allows them to feel less stress during their visit to our hospital. Cats have special needs when it comes to exploring new environments. We understand the needs of cats and how to keep their stress to a minimum. While we cannot make all cats feel completely at home, we strive to help them feel safe and comfortable during their visit to Foothills Veterinary Hospital.
CAT HEALTH SERVICES AND TREATMENTS
At Foothills Veterinary Hospital we provide the following cat health services for cats of all ages, breeds, and circumstances:
