Picture
Did you know that the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) recommends wellness examinations for all cats, of all ages, at least once a year?¹

Wellness exams are a type of proactive health care, focusing on maintaining good health and habits and preventing illness. Instead of waiting until your cat has a problem, you bring your cat to a veterinarian for regular check-ups to make sure that he/she is in good health, and to detect any early problems which may be developing. You can then follow recommended preventative courses of action, such as getting vaccinations to protect against disease and/or administering treatments to prevent parasites. During wellness visits, you also have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss any general concerns you may have about your cat's diet, environment, behavior, etc.

At Nine Lives Cat Center, we believe that focusing on wellness can help your cat have the best quality of life possible. During your cat's wellness visit, Dr. Amy MacKay—a feline veterinarian with over 20 years of experience—will perform a comprehensive physical examination and recommend individualized services depending on your cat's age, health, and lifestyle. She will answer your questions, listen to your concerns, and help guide you to make choices which will enhance your cat's overall well-being.


Our wellness services include the following:

♡ physical examinations
       -comprehensive examinations with a "fear-free" approach

¹AAFP Feline Life Stage Wellness Guidelines
It is important to note that routine wellness care does not encompass the diagnosis, treatment, or monitoring or acute or chronic illness, or procedures such as dentistry or surgery. Multiple full-service veterinary hospitals and emergency/referral clinics are available in the Cleveland/Akron area to provide these essential services. We hope to work alongside these veterinary facilities to give your cat the most comprehensive care possible.

In certain cases, we may be able to consult with you regarding a medical issue for your cat. Consultations are offered on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us directly to determine if we will be able to assist you.


​Thank you for considering Nine Lives Cat Center for your cat's wellness needs! Please contact us should you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing you soon!
