Feline Health Services from Veterinarians Who Really Care

The veterinarians and support staff at Valle Verde Animal Hospital seek to achieve the highest standards of feline veterinary medicine. 

We feel that cats are important members of the family. Valle Verde Animal Hospital offers preventative health care as well as advanced diagnostic and surgical services.

Valle Verde Animal Hospital Supports Every Stage Of Your Cat's Life

As your feline friend grows, he or she will move through six distinct stages of life:

• Kitten: 0—6 months
• Junior: 7 months—2 years
• Prime: 3—6 years
• Mature: 7—10 years
• Senior: 11—14 years
• Geriatric: 15+ years

Naturally, as a cat grows and progresses through life, he or she will undergo physiological changes and face a variety of life events that will require care and attention. From kitten care to geriatric cat medicine, consistent preventive care can make all the difference in the quality of life of your cat. Ultimately, your cat's health will impact your relationship with him or her.

Cats are very good at hiding illness. In fact, most cats will simply become less active and less interactive when very ill. Any signs of illness that a cat may show will be very subtle. Therefore, any change in their behavior should warrant a consideration that they may be ill.

If you return from work to find that your cat simply does not greet you at the door as usual, this may be an indication that your cat is ill. Because the signs of cat illness are so subtle, if you should notice any obvious changes in behavior please call our office.
