Associate Veterinarian – Privately Owned, Feline-Only Practice

For veterinarians who want to practice quieter, deeper medicine

I own a feline-only veterinary hospital built around the belief that cats deserve their own space, their own pace, and their own advocates.

I’m looking for an associate veterinarian who genuinely enjoys cats and wants to practice thoughtful, lower-stress medicine without the constant noise, urgency, and pressure that comes with dog-heavy general practice.

This position would suit a veterinarian who still loves medicine — but wants their workday to feel calmer, more intentional, and more sustainable.

What makes this practice different

Cats only — no dogs, no barking, no dog aggression cases

Longer appointment times that allow real medicine and real conversations

A fear-free, feline-centered handling philosophy

Clients who choose a cat-only hospital and value feline care

Privately owned — no corporate metrics or production pressure

A respectful culture that prioritizes longevity over burnout

What your day looks like

A predictable schedule with a manageable caseload

Support from experienced staff who understand feline handling

Emphasis on preventive care, internal medicine, geriatrics, and quality-of-life discussions

Collaboration welcomed; clinical autonomy respected

Schedule & flexibility

Full-time or part-time considered

3–4 day work weeks are welcome

No after-hours emergencies

I’m open to shaping this role around the right veterinarian

Compensation & benefits

Competitive salary (based on experience)

CE allowance + paid CE time

Paid memberships (AAFP, VIN)

PTO and paid holidays

Licensing and professional fees covered

Mentorship available if desired, independence respected if preferred

Who I’m hoping to meet

A veterinarian who enjoys feline medicine (experience encouraged, not required)

Strong communication skills and emotional awareness

Someone who values calm, preparation, and client education

New graduates and experienced associates are welcome
