We are the only exclusively feline focused hospital in Charlotte. By focusing on
a single species
we can stay better informed on all the latest medical, surgical and behavioral
medicine available to date for cats.
We take a relaxed yet professional approach to veterinary medicine. We always
want our clients to feel like they are an equal party in their cat’s medical
team and never fear asking questions and participating fully in their cat’s
care. It’s easy for us to get our patients on the road to recovery but we feel
we also have an obligation to teach our clients how to maintain that care at
home for a successful outcome.
Our goal with this hospital is to provide our feline patients with age
appropriate care throughout each season of their lives, hence the name 4 Seasons
Cat Hospital.
Starting with kittens, up to 1 year of age, we
provide preventative medicine, behavior counseling and when necessary diagnostic
and therapeutic care. Mature cats, 1 year to 6 or 8 years depending on breed,
typically remain healthy but we encourage basic diagnostic screening with their
annual exams to keep a record of baseline values and screen for genetic and
congenital problems that can begin to become apparent. During this time cats
often begin to develop dental disease. Blood screening, urine checks, blood
pressure monitoring and twice a year examinations are particularly important for
senior cats, 6/8 years to 10/12 years of age, and geriatric cats, greater than
10/12 years of age. Early detection is always superior to waiting until the cat
is sick enough for an owner to notice because even the most observant owner can
miss the subtle signs of a sick cat.
