Established by Dr. Tom Elston, T.H.E. Cat Hospital was founded on the belief that cats (and their owners) deserve a higher level of care than they often receive in mixed dog-and-cat hospitals

Mission — Our mission is to provide cats and their owners with everything they need to live long, healthy, and happy lives together

What reviewers say

90% Positive sentiment
based on 71 reviews

The practice is a specialized veterinary clinic dedicated exclusively to feline care, providing a quiet, cat-friendly environment that helps minimize stress for anxious pets. The veterinary team is widely regarded as compassionate, thorough, and highly knowledgeable, taking time to explain medical conditions and treatment options clearly. The facility is consistently described as very clean and well-organized, with structured patient records and specialized offerings such as anesthesia-free dental cleaning. While the majority of visitors experience exceptionally attentive care and gentle handling, pricing is occasionally noted as high, and front desk interactions can occasionally cause friction.
