Cat Hospital
In October 2018, Petfocus Vetcare opened the first regional cat hospital in NSW. This state-of-the-art facility neighbour the Petfocus Vetcare Albury-Wodonga Dog and Exotic Pets’ Hospital and is a segregated area for feline patients' medical and surgical treatment.
The cat hospital allows a fear-free environment for cat patients with separate car parking to the front of the building, a very short walk to the front door, a separate cat hospital entrance, and cat-only medical and surgical facilities.
Waiting Rooms
Our cat-only waiting room has a relaxed environment allowing for your comfort and your cat’s comfort with private cat parking in carefully designed cat boxes in a quiet environment. Whilst waiting, have a refreshment on us and enjoy the antics in our spacious glass cat play area. We use cat-friendly pheromones to help your cat’s visit be as stress-free as possible.
Mobile Vet Service
It is always best to deliver veterinary care where we have access to all resources for your pet. However, despite our extremely cat-friendly and convenient cat hospital, sometimes it is too difficult for you and your cat to visit. Conveniently, we have a mobile service that enables a vet or a vet nurse to travel to you. We can provide pet pick-ups, medication drop-offs and tailored visits to your home. Call us to find out how we can help make things easier for you and your cat.
Consultation Rooms
Our cat-only consultation rooms provide a quiet environment for your cat’s examination. Each examination room provides stress-free weigh-ins and a noise-shielded environment for your cat’s comfort. Each consultation room has been designed with care, allowing your cat to remain cosy and at ease during a veterinary examination.
Visiting Rooms
The cat hospital has been designed to welcome you to visit with your cat if they need to come for a stay or play with one of our adoption kittens. The visiting room is designed with the home in mind, allowing for a very natural environment with couches and a cat play area, giving you a relaxing space away from the hustle and bustle of the hospital.
Our Dog & Exotics Hospital & Cat Hospital Benefits:
Diagnostic Imaging
We use digital imaging technology to achieve superior-quality images, allowing us to email specialists and attach important images to your pet's file. Digital radiography has revolutionised canine and feline dentistry, and we now offer our patients full mouth radiographs to ensure the best and most effective treatment available.
Modern ultrasound facilities enable us to examine your pets’ internal organs in a non-invasive and non-painful way. We use ultrasound for simple things like checking bladders and complex cardiac ultrasound and biopsy procedures.
Pharmacy & On-site Pathology
Pets are unique beings, and with unique beings come special requirements. And pharmaceuticals are no exception. It is always best to talk with us before considering treating your pet with anything, including any flea control products you are unsure about. Many pharmaceutical and parasiticide treatments can be toxic to cats, so getting the correct information is vital. Our extensive pharmacy at the hospital allows us to prepare the most appropriate treatments when your pet needs them the most.
We can also arrange delivery of your pet’s medicines by post or in person. Just pick up the phone or send us an e-mail to ask how!
Additionally we have on-site pathology as well, so no more waiting for days if not weeks to get test results back. With pathology on site we can diagnose and treat any ailment quickly, getting your pets back to their old selves in no time.
Anaesthesia
Anaesthetised patients lose body heat rapidly during anaesthesia and surgery. We do everything we can to keep them warm. We use Bair Hugger technology that circulates warm air around your pet captured by special blanketing material. We also use special fluid warming devices attached to intravenous fluid pumps to ensure that the liquid to your pet is warmed to the perfect temperature. Our strict climate-controlled hospital takes care of the rest!
During anaesthesia, your pet is strictly monitored with advanced multi-parameter anaesthetic monitors to keep tabs on all their vital signs ensuring the highest level of anaesthetic safety.
Operating Theatre
All surgery is performed in our purpose-designed sterile cat or dog and exotics operating theatres. The theatres have been designed with the latest equipment and an allowance for fabulous natural and surgical lighting.
Hospital Day Wards
Our hospital beds have been designed to allow maximum comfort and minimal stress. The bases are made of a warm synthetic similar to fibreglass, allowing minimal noise transmission and heat loss. Our patients can stretch out, and we have provided cat caves to give our shyer feline patients a place to retreat. Our bedding material is called Dry Bed which is a very soft bedding type, much like lamb’s wool in consistency and comfort. The big difference is it remains dry for the patient even in the face of a large spill or accident!
Our chemotherapy and radiation ward provides our high-level care patients with the same exceptional standard of care with the bonus of a quiet, protected facility where they can have their treatment away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the clinic.
