Cat Friendly Veterinarian + Animal Hospital in Vancouver, WA

Founded in 1977, Feline Medical Clinic has served as Vancouver’s go-to resource for feline wellness for nearly five decades. As an AAHA-accredited animal hospital since 1979 and a Cat Friendly Practice Gold-level clinic, we’ve literally set the gold standard for what veterinary care should feel like, for cats and their people.

What makes us different? We care for cats exclusively. That means our entire team, from our veterinarians to our support staff, is expertly trained to understand and meet the unique medical and emotional needs of feline patients. Our quiet, cat-focused environment, low-stress handling techniques, and deep clinical experience help create a calmer visit with less anxiety and more comfort.

To help your cat feel secure, we recommend using a carrier with a removable top so they can be examined while staying in the base. Covering the carrier with a towel sprayed with Feliway® can also ease travel stress. If your cat is especially anxious, ask us about a pre-visit medication to help them stay calm on the way in and during their appointment.

"If you have a cat you should be bringing them here! I have a spicy cat who does not so well for any vet visit. However he did amazing at today’s visit. With the patience from Dr.Schendel he got all his vaccines and exam without any issues. She let him adjust to his environment and fed him snacks while he did so. The entire staff was so polite! I can’t wait to recommend her to others and to continue to have her as my primary veterinarian!"

- Sierra Moran

"I saw Dr. Schendel with my sweet little cat. He tends to be on the shy side, but did amazing with her. She took her time, gave him lots of treats and let him warm up to her. I was so impressed and happy with the care that my cat received. I will definitely be coming back and recommending everyone I know with a cat to go see her! If you were questioning where to take you cat, it should be here."

- Makayla Wallace

"Love Dr Prudence!! I can tell she is listening to my concerns and cares for my cat. Would take my kitty no one else for expert care."

- Elia M Grogan

"We love them! They’re attentive and kind. We love being in the room with our kitties during exams. Very communicative and helpful!"

- Mara Wood
