Opened in 1975 by Dr. Barbara Stein, Chicago Cat Clinic has been the premier destination for Feline care in the Chicago area for 50 years. We utilize the latest in-house diagnostics, digital x-ray and monitoring equipment. We have a cardiologist that performs echocardiograms several times a month as well as a DVM who travels here often and performs abdominal ultrasounds as needed on site. We have great relationships with local specialists who will consult on an as needed basis. We perform numerous dental and soft tissue surgeries. Our patients range from kittenhood to geriatric, seeing many cats into their 20's. We see wellness visits as well as non well visits, so your experience here will be well rounded.
