The Cat Vet is a veterinary clinic on Bealey Avenue in Christchurch's City Centre, a practice dedicated entirely to cats rather than treating dogs and other animals alongside them. The clinic handles everything from routine care through to emergency and critical or intensive care, with an after-hours emergency line for registered clients on top of normal day hours. The team is led by Dr Ian, a vet since 1999 who has practised in Christchurch since 2007, alongside vet nurse Emma, who has worked in the field since 2002 and focuses on making each visit feel calm and supportive for cats and their owners. Being feline-only means the clinic is set up around what cats specifically need, without the noise and stress dogs can bring into a shared waiting room. On Bealey Avenue, that focus is the point of The Cat Vet.
