03 Dentistry & Oral Health

Dental disease is among the most common and most overlooked sources of chronic pain in Cats. Oral health at CatsOnly is never optional or cosmetic, it is a core component of whole-body wellness.

Full Feline Dental Resource

Feline oral health is a complex and critically important area of medicine. We have dedicated a full resource page to Cat Parent education on dental disease, the COHAT procedure, home care, and what to expect.

Feline Dentistry Full Guide
Important: Anesthesia-free dental procedures are not offered at CatsOnly and should not be performed. They are not a safe or effective alternative to proper dental care under anesthesia.
04 Surgery & Anesthesia

Every surgical procedure begins well before the operating room. Managing fear, pain, and stress before, during, and after surgery is not a courtesy, it is medicine. Every Cat under anesthesia at CatsOnly has a dedicated, credentialed monitoring technician, and regional nerve blocks are used for all surgical and dental procedures.

Surgical Procedures
  • Spay (ovariohysterectomy) and neuter (castration)
  • Soft tissue surgery
  • Mass and tumor removal and biopsy
  • Wound management and laceration repair
  • Foreign body removal
  • Exploratory laparotomy
  • Cystotomy (bladder stone removal)
Anesthesia Standards
  • Feline-specific anesthesia protocols
  • Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and individualized risk assessment
  • Pre-visit anxiolytic protocols
  • Regional and local nerve blocks for every surgical and dental case
  • Multimodal perioperative pain management
  • Continuous dedicated credentialed technician monitoring throughout
  • Thermal support and fluid therapy as standard
We Are a Claw Friendly Veterinary Practice

CatsOnly does not perform elective onychectomy (declawing). We follow the FelineVMA’ position that scratching is a normal feline behavior and that declawing impairs feline welfare by inhibiting their ability to perform that behavior.

Long-term consequences of declawing include chronic pain, behavioral changes, and increased litter box avoidance. Our team is trained in alternatives, including appropriate scratching surfaces and environmental enrichment, regular nail trims, nail caps, and behavior consultation for problematic scratching.

06 Behavior Consultations

Behavior is not attitude. It is information. At CatsOnly, behavior consultations are a core component of the whole-patient approach, not an add-on or a last resort. A Cat who is showing behavioral changes is a Cat who is communicating something clinically significant.

A Core Part of Whole-Patient Care
Many behavioral presentations, aggression, elimination outside the box, hiding, over-grooming, have underlying medical causes. At CatsOnly, every behavior consultation begins with a thorough physical examination and, where indicated, diagnostics. We treat the whole Cat, not just the symptom.
Certified Behavior Specialists
CatsOnly utilizes a network of Certified Cat Behavior Consultants (CCBC) and veterinary behaviorists to provide options tailored to your Cat’s specific needs. Our trained and experienced Care Teams work alongside these specialists to ensure continuity across every visit.
What We Address
Defensive or fear-responsive behaviors, inter-Cat tension, litter box avoidance, anxiety and phobias, aggression, hiding and withdrawal, excessive vocalization, destructive scratching, and personality changes in senior Cats that may indicate cognitive or systemic disease.
The Most Preventable Reason Cats Lose Their Homes

Behavioral concerns are among the most common reasons Cats are surrendered to shelters. Most of these cases are treatable. Early consultation, before behaviors become entrenched, produces the best outcomes for the Cat, the Cat Parent, and the bond they share.

07 After-Hours Support

When something worries you about your Cat after clinic hours, you should not have to face it alone. CatsOnly has built a seamless after-hours support system, because 3 AM worry is real, and it deserves a real response.

📞 24/7 RVT Triage Support

After hours, callers to the CatsOnly phone line are automatically connected to our trusted after-hours triage partner, a team of experienced Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs) with an average of over 10 years in the field, many with backgrounds in emergency medicine. They will answer your call, listen to your concern, and guide you clearly: whether that means heading to an emergency hospital right now, monitoring safely at home, or booking first thing when we open.

This is not a voicemail. This is not a recording. This is a real, trained, licensed professional who understands cats and is there for you.
