Urgent Care for Cats in Auburn-Opelika, AL
Cats are very good at hiding illness. In fact, most cats will simply become less active and less interactive when very ill. Any signs of illness that a cat may show will be very subtle, so any change in their behavior should warrant a consideration that they may be ill. Many clients will return from work to find that their cat simply does not greet them at the door as usual. Because the signs of cat illness are so subtle, if you notice any obvious changes in behavior, don't wait to have your cat looked at.
Appointments are same-day only, so please call us at Telephone Coming Soon! to check availability before coming in.
