Welcome to Civic Feline Clinic
At Civic Feline Clinic we help cats live longer, happier, healthier lives from nose to tail and womb to tomb. We provide high-quality medicine and comprehensive preventative and therapeutic care in a clean, tranquil environment designed specifically to minimize stress and anxiety.
We support our “the whole cat, its whole life” philosophy with state-of-the-art medical and diagnostic equipment and a relentless focus on continuing education and professional improvement. From the color of the paint on the walls to the scents your cat smells here in the hospital, from the way we greet a new kitten into our lives and our home, to the way we say goodbye to an old friend after a life well-lived, Civic Feline Clinic is 100% cat-friendly. We look forward to a lifetime of serving you and your feline family!
We are a Cat Friendly Practice!
In May 2022, Civic Feline Clinic became certified as a Cat Friendly Practice by the American Association of Feline Practitioners. This achievement is a testament of our dedication to all things feline. It was our goal to prioritize and address the special needs of cats in veterinary medicine by creating an environment that recognizes and reduces stress. Please inquire with our staff as to how you can help reduce your kitty's stress both at home and at the vet by using cat-friendly approaches and products.

Your cats’ oral health is an important part of their overall well-being. We recommend annual oral exams to evaluate your friends’ teeth and gums and to make recommendations to deter and delay the onset of periodontal disease, as well as to treat existing problems. Learn More Diet & Nutrition Proper diet and nutrition can help your pet fight against disease, maintain a proper weight, and promote the overall well-being of your pet. Learn More Parasite Control (Fleas & Ticks) External parasites such as fleas and ticks are irritating to pet and owner alike, can carry disease, and distract from your cat’s well-being. Likewise, a host of internal parasites such as tapeworms, coccidia and giardia, can make your friend sick. We recommend annual screening and year-round continual prevention to inhibit potential outbreaks. Learn More Wellness & Preventive Care During your cat’s annual wellness exam our veterinarians will evaluate his overall health, note potential problems before they get serious, and make recommendations to promote a longer, happier, healthier life. Learn More Vaccinations Preventative medicine is a cornerstone of our practice and timely vaccination is a vital component in maintaining your cat’s health.

This starts with diagnosing and treating any preexisting dental disease. You can get a reasonable idea of what’s going on inside your cat’s mouth by simply opening it and taking a look. Check for halitosis (bad breath), gingivitis (red, inflamed gums), and tartar. If you are unsure of the significance of what you are seeing, make an appointment with us for a dental examination. Generally, the mere presence of one or more of these symptoms warrants scheduling such a visit for dental assessment and potential treatment. A professional cleaning requires general anesthesia and diagnostics including full mouth radiographs to detect “hidden” disease. Please ask for additional information about dental cleanings, to request an estimate, or to schedule an appointment. Once existing disease has been diagnosed and treated, we promote routine preventative measures to delay or avert recurrence. In short, this means daily oral hygiene. For most cats, this involves one or more of the following steps. Think of these steps as tools in your “Oral Care Toolbox.” The more tools you use regularly, the more balanced, comprehensive and effective your home care program. Daily Brushing For optimal results we recommend daily brushing. Use toothpaste formulated specifically for cats, not for people. Daily brushing is important as studies have verified that brushing only once or twice a week has minimal impact on the accumulation of plaque. We acknowledge that brushing the teeth of some pets, particularly cats, is simply impractical. Understand that in these patients, plaque and tartar will accumulate faster and that they will require more frequent examinations and possible cleanings. Oravet Barrier Sealant This clear, tasteless gel is applied by finger to the teeth once weekly. It forms a protective barrier on the tooth, making it more difficult for plaque to attach and accumulate. The sealant is not disturbed by daily brushing. Water Additives If used consistently, water additives can be a useful adjunct in plaque and tartar control. Dental Treats There are a number of treats available for your cat to assist in the delay and management of periodontal disease. We currently recommend Greenies and CET dental chews for cats. Regular Oral Examinations We mentioned the “big three” of halitosis, gingivitis and tartar. Check your cat’s mouth regularly (easy if you’re brushing daily!). Schedule an appointment so we can examine the entire mouth and start a dialogue about your friend’s oral health and home care plan. Veterinary Oral Health Council The VOHC is a committee of veterinary dental specialists whose purpose it to evaluate research about animal oral health. Much of the research is submitted by companies that manufacture oral care products. If a product can be scientifically demonstrated to be efficacious in reducing plaque and tartar, the council can provide its own “Seal of Acceptance” and list it on their website at VOHC.com. Look for this seal when selecting dental care products for your cat or check the website before buying. Awareness is the first step in monitoring and maintaining your companion’s health. You now have the tools to develop and implement a plaque management program that will keep you can free from discomfort and infection. Get the entire family involved! Brushing your cat’s teeth is a great way to emphasize the importance of oral health to children. Additionally, if every individual in a family brushes the cat’s teeth once or twice a week, you are well on your way to providing daily cleaning. Performing any of these steps is an important contribution. Committing to multiple steps will grow the benefit. Accordingly, you will be assuring your feline friend an optimal quality of life and maximum longevity.

Your cats’ oral health is an important part of their overall well-being. We recommend annual oral exams to evaluate your friends’ teeth and gums and to make recommendations to deter and delay the onset of periodontal disease, as well as to treat existing problems. Learn More Diet & Nutrition Proper diet and nutrition can help your pet fight against disease, maintain a proper weight, and promote the overall well-being of your pet. Learn More Parasite Control (Fleas & Ticks) External parasites such as fleas and ticks are irritating to pet and owner alike, can carry disease, and distract from your cat’s well-being. Likewise, a host of internal parasites such as tapeworms, coccidia and giardia, can make your friend sick. We recommend annual screening and year-round continual prevention to inhibit potential outbreaks. Learn More Wellness & Preventive Care During your cat’s annual wellness exam our veterinarians will evaluate his overall health, note potential problems before they get serious, and make recommendations to promote a longer, happier, healthier life. Learn More Vaccinations Preventative medicine is a cornerstone of our practice and timely vaccination is a vital component in maintaining your cat’s health. Proper vaccination is critical in warding off and preventing the spread of harmful disease. Learn More Microchipping Microchip implantation is a reliable option for permanent, unalterable identification of your companion. It is safe, easy, and inexpensive. Learn More Diagnostic Services Radiography Radiographs (x-rays) are a common, long-used, non-invasive imaging technique used to identify many types of illness or injury; Civic Feline Clinic is equipped with a contemporary digital radiography unit to offer these services promptly as needed. Learn More Ultrasound Similar to radiography, ultrasonography is another frequently-used, non-invasive imaging modality that can provide detailed information about your cat. We have recently acquired a state-of-the-art ultrasound unit to provide superior diagnostic images. Learn More Laboratory Services There are a myriad of laboratory diagnostics that our veterinarians can use as necessary to diagnose disease and to evaluate the effectiveness of therapy. We offer both in-hospital and referral laboratory services for all of your cat’s diagnostic needs. Learn More Surgery Services Spay & Neuter Spaying or neutering your pet can help them live a longer, healthier life, minimize behavior problems, and help control the stray population. Learn More Soft Tissue Surgery We perform soft tissue surgery for a number of medical reasons. This common surgery can be used for most anything non-joint or bone related. Learn More Travel Certificates Services Fill out our Health Certificate Verification Form > Travel Health Certificates Our veterinarians are fully accredited with the USDA to issue formal certifications that your friend is healthy enough to travel safely and has had the appropriate immunizations for domestic or international travel.

Learn More End of Life Care Euthanasia In accordance with our mission of helping cats live longer, happier, healthier lives, from nose to tail and womb to tomb, we sincerely believe that as much care should be put into end of life decisions as the care put into the life itself.

Overview Maintaining a healthy body weight is a very important aspect of a pet’s overall physical health. Good nutrition can help provide your pet with a happier, safer, and longer life. Why is maintaining a healthy weight important? Obesity is a common problem among cats. All too often we feed our friends on a schedule convenient to our own lifestyles, forgetting their natural feeding pattern of hunting or foraging multiple (up to 20 portions) small meals throughout their day. Chronic obesity can be a serious problem for cats and contribute to health issues as they age. With proper diet and exercise a healthy cat should be able to maintain a healthy weight while meting all of their nutrition needs. The best way to ensure your cat’s dietary requirements are being met (and not over-provided!) is to consult with our veterinarians about a specific diet for your companion and their lifestyle. When is a diet change needed? Healthy cats should be fed a balanced wellness diet based on life stage, activity level, breed or size, and any concurrent medical issues present. Generally diet changes are indicated when a cat enters a new life stage, moving from kitten to adult or adult to senior. We may also recommend a diet change if your cat develops any medical issues that could be managed by diets such as obesity, food allergy or renal disease.

Your cats’ oral health is an important part of their overall well-being. We recommend annual oral exams to evaluate your friends’ teeth and gums and to make recommendations to deter and delay the onset of periodontal disease, as well as to treat existing problems. Overview 50% of all cats have some degree of periodontal disease with that number jumping to 75% of cats over three years of age. Left untreated, unhealthy mouths can cause infection, discomfort or pain, and tooth loss. Unmanaged periodontal disease can cause or contribute to serious health problems in other areas of the body such as the heart, liver or kidneys. Consequently, we recommend a thorough assessment of your cat’s mouth at her regularly scheduled annual examination. Why do cats need dental care? Many health problems originate in the mouth: plaque, tartar, gum disease and damaged teeth are sources of inflammation and infection for the rest of the body. Among the most common problems we see in cats, dental disease can cause drooling, reluctance to eat, swelling and redness of the gums, bad breath and loose or missing teeth. When should I seek dental care for my cat? Many dental conditions and related diseases can be prevented by regular visits to the veterinarian for oral examinations. We will assess existing problems and make appropriate recommendations for treatment as well as prevention of future disease. What happens during dental cleaning? The mechanics of cat dentistry are similar to human dentistry except that general anesthesia is required to safely and thoroughly examine and clean the teeth. Our veterinarian performs a thorough tooth-by-tooth examination to check for evidence of disease such as gingival recession (gum loss), root exposure or pockets around the tooth root. Full mouth radiographs are a critical component of dentistry as they allow us to evaluate the entire tooth for “hidden” disease that is undetectable by physical examination. Extractions Whenever possible we will treat teeth to avoid extraction. Unfortunately, cats develop a specific type of resorptive lesions that are not helped by conventional therapies such as root canals. Furthermore, some disease is simply too advanced to salvage a tooth. In these circumstances, the best option for your cat is extraction (“toothenasia”) to spare them the discomfort and potential future complications of diseased teeth. A combination of local analgesic blocks, injectable medications and oral medications after the procedure, will keep your friend comfortable during healing.

Overview Multiple professional organizations, including the American Animal Hospital Association, recommend your cat has a wellness exam at least once every year. As your friend ages, he may benefit from more frequent examinations. Preventative care is fundamental aspect of our practice and we will develop a wellness plan for every life stage of your companion. Depending on your cat’s lifestyle, we will recommend vaccination schedules and diagnostic screening. Why are these exams so important? These visits are an important opportunity to evaluate your cat’s overall health and to provide a baseline understanding of their unique lifestyle and characteristics. They also allow us to detect potential problems or early diseases before they become more serious. As importantly, regular visits to our facility allows your friend to develop familiarity with our staff and with the hospital, so future visits are less stressful and easier on you and her. When should my cat visit the veterinarian? The best approach to keeping your friend healthy is proactive preventative medicine. This encompasses annual or semi-annual wellness exams, immunizations, internal and external parasite prevention, dietary management and behavioral management. We will always work with you to develop a wellness plan customized to your specific companion. What happens during a wellness exam? Our veterinarian will perform a comprehensive examination of your cat, from nose to tail, obtaining vital signs and assessing all the systems of the body. We may recommend diagnostic testing such as blood work, urinalysis, or screening for parasites in order to treat any abnormal findings or simply as part of our preventative medicine approach. Early detection and intervention of medical problems is an important part of helping your friend lead a longer, happier, healthier life.

How to Put Your Cat in the Carrier Getting Your Cat Used to Travel Gabapentin to Manage Stress and Anxiety Cats can suffer from varying degrees of fear and stress while being transported to the veterinarian or while being examined. Not only can stress exacerbate existing physical conditions, it can lead to a number of undesirable behaviors including litter box avoidance, aggression, depression and withdrawal. Unfortunately, one of the most common causes of fear and stress in our companions is the veterinary examination. The entire process, from being loaded into a carrier, to the car ride, to the time they spend here in the hospital, is severely disruptive of your cat’s routine, imposes significant sensory stress, and, unsurprisingly, presents your cat to us in a highly agitated state. Our experience, substantiated by research, demonstrates that gabapentin can significantly reduce signs of stress and increase patient compliance here in the hospital. Gabapentin is a treatment originally developed to manage seizures in humans; subsequently, it was found to be a useful drug to control neuropathic pain in humans, dogs and cats. While not specifically labelled for use for anxiety, gabapentin is finding rapidly increasing use for managing it. Gabapentin comes in tablet, capsule and liquid forms and can be administered with food or treats though it can also be given on an empty stomach. The liquid is slightly bitter and cats may resent this form particularly when given in larger volumes. Best given approximately 2 hours prior to visits or travel as it achieves maximum effectiveness at this timeframe. One recent study in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association showed that cats who received gabapentin prior to veterinary visits led to significant reduction is stress-related behaviors during transportation and examination. Among the multiple reported findings: Owners reported significantly lower stress scores over the entire visit, including transportation to and from the hospital; Veterinarians rated treated cats as significantly more compliant during examination; In 20% of patients, examination was only possible after treatment with gabapentin; and The most commonly reported side effect was sedation. The drug has few contraindications; it is metabolized in the kidneys and cats with renal insufficiency may demonstrate prolonged or stronger-than-usual effects from the gabapentin. In these cases, we may recommend a dose adjustment. Please ask your veterinarian if this might be an appropriate drug for your companion, particularly if your friend has a history of stressful visits to the hospital.
