Overview

Cats are not just small dogs—they are a unique species with distinct physiological, behavioral, and medical needs. At LeelaVet Hospital, our Speciality Felines Medicine Center is dedicated exclusively to the health and well-being of feline companions. Our cat-focused services create a calm, tailored environment that respects the natural instincts and sensitivities of cats, making both diagnostics and treatment more effective.

From curious kittens to dignified seniors, we offer comprehensive feline care—from routine exams and vaccinations to management of complex diseases and behavior issues. Our feline practitioners are trained in feline-specific medicine, using advanced diagnostics and gentle handling techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my cat need a feline-specific vet?

Cats have different anatomy, behavior, and diseases than dogs. Specialized care improves diagnosis and outcomes.

How often should my cat visit the vet?

At least once a year for young adults. Twice annually is ideal for senior or chronically ill cats.

Do indoor cats need vaccinations or parasite control?

Yes. They’re still at risk for airborne viruses, and some parasites can enter via humans or windows.

What are signs my cat might be ill?

Subtle changes: hiding, less grooming, vomiting, appetite changes, urinating outside the litter box.
