Cats are purring their way into the hearts and homes of the American public. The cat is king, with more than 86 million cats loved as pets, compared to 78 million dogs. With the number of people choosing cats steadily increasing, the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP)has initiated a program to improve the health care and overall well-being of the growing feline population. A Cat FriendlyPractice has adapted an environment that is less stressful to cats and meets the cat's unique needs. The staff at the practice is aware of ways they can interact and handle your cat so that
examinations and procedures will be less stressful. Huntington Animal Hospital is proud to announce that it is recognized by the AAFP as a Cat Friendly Practice.
Why Cat Friendly?
The Cat Friendly Practice program was created to improve the treatment, handling and overall healthcare of cats. Its purpose is to equip veterinary practices with the tools, resources and information to elevate the standard of care for cats.

"We are committed to providing quality care to our
patients. When we heard about AAFP's Cat Friendly Practice Program, we knew it was time to take a fresh look at the practice to determine what could be done to make the veterinary visit more positive for cats and cat owners," said Dr. Jeffrey M. Kramer, Owner and Veterinarian of Huntington Animal Hospital. "We evaluated every aspect of the practice and its environment from the perspective of the cat. We can proudly say that from the minute they walk through the door, our patients and clients will be part of a welcoming, comfortable experience that will ultimately lead to the improved health of our feline patients." replied
Dr. Becky Lonardo, DVM.
