# Cat Friendly Practice
## Just For Cats

You’re a cat. You’re so great, civilizations used to worship you. Your
human worships you, too. But you don’t let that go to your head. And
really, you don’t ask for much. You just want a veterinary practice that
knows how to spoil you and who are specially trained to examine you in
an environment that greatly reduces the stress you typically feel at the
vet. You will love Just Cats Clinic, because here, we get you.

### A calming environment
- A waiting area that minimizes stress associated with noise and smells, including an area where waiting cats can be
  kept off the ground
- Patient Care and Client Care teams specifically trained to understand feline behavior, including recognizing signs of
  fear, anxiety, and pain
- Use of a slow approach and Cat Friendly Handling techniques set out by the American Association of Feline
  Practitioners to help your cat have a positive experience
- Medical treatments based on your cat's specific needs, preferences, and behaviors
- Inclusion of you, the owner, as a valuable member of your cat's healthcare team so you can better understand your
  cat's needs
- Utilization of synthetic feline facial pheromones, like Feliway, for a calming effect throughout the practice
- Exam rooms that provide a safe and non-threatening environment
- Larger condo sizes for hospitalized and boarding patients
- Full-mouth radiographs, pre- and post-extraction, for every dental procedure
