Open seven days a week and evenings.

The Cat Practice, which opened in 1981, is Michigan’s
first cats-only veterinary hospital providing advanced preventative and medical care with an emphasis on early detection to help cats live longer, better and healthier.
Located in Birmingham, Michigan, we care for all feline purebred and mixed breeds from around southeastern Michigan.

Our highly trained feline veterinarians and veterinary technicians follow the highest quality standards of the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP), and work closely with cat families to help choose the best possible care. We offer:

• Special programs for chronic conditions such as diabetes and kidney disease
• Wellness /early detection
• Medical / surgical care
• Geriatrics / senior care
• End of life care / kitty hospice

Our Commitment to Cats and their People:  

• Spot health conditions early to avoid more costly care later.
• Treat the whole patient looking out for physical and emotional wellbeing.
• Respect each cat as an individual with his/her own distinct personality and heredity.
• Avoid surgery at all cost.  (The exception: all cats should be spayed or neutered!) 
• Provide alternatives for care whenever possible.
• Partner with cat families through knowledge sharing.
• Make oral hygiene and preventive dental care a priority.

Our Role in the Community

• Alerting the community to hazards and developments that could impact the health and well-being of cats.
• Sharing information about cat welfare and treatment through community outreach.
• Participating in local efforts to find homes for homeless cats.
• Working to assist and create win-win situations with local cat rescue groups by understanding their needs and supporting them where is practical and feasible to the hospital.
• Becoming a resource to other cat care providers with information and knowledge that will help them better spot and care for cat illnesses and disease. These include:
