Welcome to The Cat Practice

Founded in the 1970s, The Cat Practice is one of the first exclusively feline veterinary hospitals in the United States and has been a leading provider of feline healthcare to Manhattan's cat community.

We offer veterinary services for your cat at any age. Our veterinarians help you understand the unique healthcare needs of domestic cats, an animal often misunderstood due to their stoic nature. Since cats hide their illnesses well, our staff has learned to speak for them and hear their concerns.
