About Our Cat Only Clinic

Darlington Cats is our newly designed cat ward with a separate entrance to ensure that your feline companions are calm and fear-free throughout their appointment.

We have a veterinarian who sees exclusively cat patients, and is preparing for a feline specialist degree. Dr. Bahlmann has worked with feline-only patients for the last several years, and has a passion for complex internal medicine cases and dentistry. All of our other doctors also provide feline-friendly care.

As we all know, cats are not small dogs, and they do not give up their secrets easily. By ensuring they are in their own ward of the hospital, we can provide better tretment of our feline patients and provide all the specialty care they need.
