Why Pet Parents Love Us

The best cat vets ever! Dr. Tibbs is wonderful, professional, and takes excellent care of my cat. The rest of the staff is friendly and helpful.

Melissa R.

The folks at CVC have provided excellent care to my girls, in good times and bad. Having a place just for cats is really special. I think we don’t always realize how important it is to have a good vet until disaster strikes. They helped me find another wonderful two months with my sweetest girl before I lost her to cancer. I’m grateful for their care throughout such a hard year. I will always bring my cats here.

Julia D.

Saved my cat’s life after being inadequately treated at another cat vet. Dr. Christianson and her team are excellent in every way. The staff is always helpful.

Dee G.

The best place in Houston to take your cats! We used to live 5 minutes down the road, but moved about an hour away 4 years ago. I still bring our cats here, despite the drive, because the level of care is phenomenal! Highly recommend Dr. Tibbs: she’s caring, knowledgeable, and just so great with our cats. You can’t go wrong with Cat Veterinary Clinic!

Emily M.

I’ve mostly lucked out with doctors and veterinarians, but there are few I can recommend as highly and as confidently as Cat Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Christensen saved my cat’s life when he was a kitten (recent photo, now 15), and I’ll never forget it. You will feel both confidence and comfort having your cat in Dr. C’s care.

Katya H.

We love the Cat Vet Clinic so far! We've seen Dr. Tibbs and Dr. Christensen for new pet exams/vaccines, and both doctors and the techs were great. They took their time to listen and answer all of our many questions, made recommendations on all kinds of things from food to behavior, and didn't rush us. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and loving to us and our cats. They have evening and weekend hours, which makes things really convenient.

    A little detective work will help determine whether the cat you've found has been abandoned or is lost and what your next steps should be. If the cat has a collar and tags, the first step is to call any phone numbers that may be available. If no collar is present, give us a call to schedule a time to bring him in to be scanned for a microchip. In the meantime, the cat should be kept separate from your other pets.

    Should you decide to keep the cat yourself, your first step is to take her to a veterinarian for a complete examination. We can provide a physical exam and tell you the cat’s approximate age, physical condition, and gender. We will also start the discussion on recommended wellness services appropriate for the life stage. It’s a good idea to bring in a fresh stool sample to have it tested for internal parasites.

    If you are unable to keep the cat, you have a few options. You can try to find a home yourself within your circles of friends and family, or pursue admission into a rescue group or shelter. We are happy to provide a list if needed, but be aware that there are MANY options in and around Houston, all with their own stipulations and requirements.

  • In general, cats do a pretty good job of bathing themselves and giving baths is not necessary. Please ask your veterinarian if your cat needs to be bathed. If your cat is in the hospital for an appointment and gets soiled or needs to have a bath for medical reasons, we are able to do so. Otherwise, we would be happy to instruct you how to bathe your cat at home or refer you to a local groomer.

  • The Cat Veterinary Clinic is not a grooming facility; we typically only offer basic grooming to those patients who require full sedation in order to safely achieve this. Basic grooming would be lion cuts, belly shaves, mat clip out, and  "sanitation trims." If your cat does NOT require sedation, or if this is your first request for grooming, we are happy to refer you to a local groomer.
