# Urgent Cat Care
## Urgent Cat Care

### Because sick cats don't wait for regular business hours.

We know that life is busy, and cats don’t pay attention to business
hours when they get sick. Just Cats Clinic offers late evening and
weekend appointment hours for cats that need to be seen promptly. If you
suspect your cat has ingested something toxic, call the
[ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center](https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/aspca-poison-control) at
[(888) 426-4435](tel:+18884264435) for a case number.

### When Should I Take My Cat to an Urgent Care Clinic? {#when-urgent}

- Vomiting
- Limping
- Diarrhea
- Reduced eating or drinking
- Eye squinting or discharge
- Nasal discharge
- Blood in urine
- Urinary tract infection
- Wounds or abscess
- Acute coughing
- Lethargy
- Ear infection
- Foreign object ingestion
- Straining to urinate or defecate
- Hiding or change in behavior

## When do I need to take my cat straight to an ER? {#when-emergency}

- **Severe wounds**
- **Profusely bleeding**
- **Exposed organs or bones**
- **Non- or minimally responsive**
- **Respiratory distress/difficulty breathing**

These conditions require more extensive treatment and hospitalization
than we are currently able to offer. If your cat is experiencing any of
these symptoms, please contact a [local 24-hour Emergency
Hospital](#24-hour).

## Urgent Care Hours {#hours}

| Day | Hours |
|:---|:---|

### Availability

Appointments for urgent care will be made available on the same day during the week and the day before during the
weekends. Urgent care appointments may be scheduled 24/7 by phone or online.

These appointment times are available only for urgent care. If you need to have your cat seen for routine preventive
care, chronic problems (going on for more than two weeks), progress exams, or technician appointments, please set up an
appointment during our regular operating hours (Monday–Friday 8:00 AM – 7:00 PM).

Urgent care exams cost $200. Any diagnostic testing, treatment, or medications will be additional. Our doctors can put
together itemized treatment plans during appointments so there are no surprises at checkout.

In the event we diagnose a condition that is beyond our ability to manage, we will help refer you to an ER that can
admit your cat for treatment. We can provide overnight care for stable patients who need IV fluids, medications, and
monitoring.
