Angell Earns Gold Accreditation as Feline Friendly Practice

This senior enjoys a ride on an Angell “Kitty Kruiser” during her hospital visits. These Kruisers ease the stress of kitties who prefer not to be at eye level with our canine patients.

To reduce stress to our feline patients, we provide:

• Elevated “Kitty Kruiser” carts
• Blankets to cover cat carriers
• A separate feline waiting room
• Express check out in a feline-only area during weekdays
• Feline-friendly exam rooms designated only for cats

These efforts and more have earned Angell Gold Level accreditation with the Cat Friendly Practice Program® of the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP). The AAFP requires rigorous guidelines to be met for accreditation.
