Friends of CG Fridays: Just Cats Clinic

Just Cats Clinic has been caring for our cats like they’re family since 2013. Now, when we need them the most, they have opened an Urgent Care clinic with extended hours.

Website I Contact Info and Hours I Directions

Dr. Elizabeth Chapmen started the Just Cats Clinic in order to offer your cat a personalized, comfortable experience for your cat in a stressful time.

Every person employed goes through cat-specific trainings so they are familiar with feline behaviors and handling. They are flexible and change their procedure based on each individual cats needs and temperament. From ample natural light, to windows with bird feeder views, to hiding places in every room… this will truly feel like a sanctuary for your cat.

Working with animals is a labor of love, and the veterinary community as a whole has been pushing itself to the brink to keep our animals safe.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic started, vets all over the country have suffered from staff shortages. Along with sickness and quarantines, the field is primarily women. When schools were closed or primarily online, many women left their careers to take care of their children.

For the first time in 20 years you can’t just go to an emergency vet. Imagine your animal is in trouble, you call their doctor, and they have to check to see which emergency vets might have space.

There are a lot of patients that NEED to be seen, but are not a life or death emergency. They are in pain, or vomiting, but would be turned away because the number of more urgent patients was just too high.

Dr. Elizabeth started an emergency clinic on January 1st to help mitigate this problem. Just Cats Clinic will do same day urgent care appointments for ANYone with a cat in need, whether or not they are a patient. They are not an emergency vet, but can help diagnose, stabilize, and take care of your beloved pet, and help you find a space in an emergency vet while they do so if it is necessary.

Help Common Ground Childcare show some love to our local heroes! If you or someone you know has a cat they adore, bring them to the place where you know their doctors will love them as much as you do.
