Feline Hospitalization

At Balmesvet, our feline hospitalization is designed with the utmost care for the well-being of our feline patients, offering them an exceptional environment of care. Our “Feline Habitats” are the heart of this “Cat Friendly” dedication, providing a safe and comfortable space that reflects our commitment to their health and happiness.

Features of our exclusive feline hospitalization at Balmesvet:

“Gold Standard” Feline Habitats: Each habitat offers a spacious environment that allows cats to have their basic resources (litter box, water, food, and resting area) organized efficiently, following the ISFM Gold Standard. This ensures their comfort and freedom of movement without feeling confined. Also included are heating and Lighting Systems: These systems are activated only when needed, ensuring an ideal temperature and comfortable lighting for our feline patients.

Peace and Privacy Assured: The design of the admission area is oriented to prevent direct visual contact between patients, reducing stress and fostering a calm environment. For cats who prefer greater privacy, we offer the option of providing an opaque cover, creating a safe and peaceful refuge.

Enriched Environment and Ambient Music: We enhance the area with synthetic feline pheromones and specially selected ambient music to calm and reduce stress. These soothing sounds contribute to a serene atmosphere, complementing the positive effects of pheromones and promoting a state of relaxation and well-being.

Personalized and Specialized Care: Our team is deeply committed and trained in feline medicine and behavior, dedicated to providing meticulous care tailored to each cat’s unique needs. We implement carefully designed protocols to ensure that the hospitalization experience is as comfortable as possible, recognizing and addressing the anxiety and stress that hospitals may cause your cat.

Stress Minimization During Procedures: Most examinations and procedures are carried out directly in the habitats, avoiding unnecessary transfers that could cause additional stress. For more complex procedures, we have an adjacent room equipped with everything needed, including an examination table specifically designed to minimize stress in cats.
