The Cat Doctor Veterinary Hospital

Welcome to The Cat Doctor. Serving the cats of Boise, ID since 1997. Why a hospital just for cats? Because we have a special affection for them, and understand that they require a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere, gentle handling techniques, and a hospital team trained in the subtle social and medical nuances that make a cat a cat

The Cat Doctor Veterinary Hospital, Idaho’s first feline-only hospital, was established in May of 1997. Located at 9151 Ustick Road, on the southeast corner of Ustick Road and Dalton Lane, the property was purchased from the Dalton family by Dr. Alexis Higdon and her partner Kath’ren Bay. The building is a 1940’s farmhouse that Dr. Higdon and Ms. Bay transformed into a cozy, comfortable, fully functioning feline veterinary hospital. Our third exam room is dedicated to Marguerite Dalton, who lived in and cared for the home for 48 years, and believed in the vision that Dr. Higdon and Ms. Bay had for The Cat Doctor. We are grateful to Dr. Higdon and Kath’ren for making their vision of The Cat Doctor a reality that inspires us all
