Our staff is looking for the right personality to join our 5-doctor practice in fulfilling our ongoing mission of helping cats live longer, happier, healthier lives. We believe, profoundly, that our feline companions are unique animals with distinctive needs and that it is both our obligation and our privilege to provide all diagnostic, medical and surgical procedures in a manner that minimizes distress, anxiety, discomfort and suffering. As a Cat Friendly Gold Certified practice, we passionately advocate preventative and therapeutic care as true partners in the ongoing well-being of our community’s cats. From the color of paint on our walls to the scents in the air, from the way we welcome cats into our homes to the way we say goodbye at the end of a life well-lived, Civic Feline Clinic focuses uncompromisingly on providing the finest possible feline care. Please join us in making the most of their nine lives, each and every day!
We are committed to providing optimal care to our feline friends and to our clients. Our staff is friendly, compassionate and dedicated to the continual betterment of our cat-management skills. That our average length of employment is just over 10 years, is a clear testament to our positive workplace environment, commitment to long-term employee development, and cultivation of our loyal, engaged clientele. We offer a generous compensation package customized to your individual priorities regarding continuing education, professional development and healthy work/life balance. This is an excellent opportunity for a colleague already passionate about cats, or for one eager to learn the nuance and complexity of feline medicine. We enthusiastically encourage new graduates to apply and will provide strong mentorship from experienced feline practitioners.
