Vet Services for Cats & Kittens

Vet Services in Naples for Cats

At Northside Animal Hospital, we recognize that cats have unique healthcare needs and temperaments that require specialized attention and understanding. Whether you’re raising a playful kitten or caring for a senior cat, Dr. William Smaller and our experienced team provide feline-focused veterinary services in a calm, low-stress environment designed specifically with your cat’s comfort in mind.

With over 45 years of veterinary experience treating cats of all breeds and ages, Dr. Smaller understands feline behavior and health challenges. From routine wellness care to complex medical conditions, we take a gentle, patient approach that respects your cat’s individual personality and helps them feel safe and secure during every visit.

Kitten Care & Wellness

The early months of your kitten’s life are critical for establishing good health and positive veterinary experiences. Our comprehensive kitten care program includes thorough physical examinations, age-appropriate vaccination protocols, parasite screening and prevention, nutritional guidance for proper growth, litter box and behavioral advice, and spay or neuter consultations. We help you navigate the important decisions of kittenhood while building a foundation for lifelong wellness.

Adult Cat Wellness

Regular wellness exams are essential for maintaining your adult cat’s health, especially since cats are masters at hiding illness. Our feline wellness services include comprehensive annual or bi-annual physical exams, core and lifestyle vaccinations, feline leukemia and FIV testing, parasite prevention and control, dental health evaluations, bloodwork and urinalysis, and weight management counseling. We focus on early detection and preventive care to keep your cat healthy for years to come.

Senior Cat Care

As cats age, they require more frequent monitoring and specialized care to maintain their quality of life. Our senior cat program provides geriatric health screenings twice yearly, comprehensive bloodwork including thyroid testing, kidney function monitoring and support, arthritis assessment and pain management, blood pressure monitoring, cognitive health evaluation, and nutritional counseling for aging cats. We’re committed to helping your senior cat remain comfortable and healthy throughout their golden years.

Medical Services & Surgery

When your cat needs medical attention, we provide thorough diagnostics and effective treatment in a calm setting. Our services include in-house laboratory testing for rapid results, digital radiography and ultrasound imaging, treatment for respiratory infections and urinary issues, management of chronic conditions like diabetes and hyperthyroidism, dermatology and allergy care, and dental cleanings and extractions. We also perform a full range of surgical procedures including spay and neuter surgeries, soft tissue procedures, mass removals, and emergency interventions, all with careful monitoring and pain management protocols designed specifically for cats.
