Cat Hospital of Austin

One day it will be Peabody's turn with the brain cell...today is not that day.

Happy Thursday CHOA fam!

Hey neighbors!

We're looking to up-cycle any old bath or beach towels taking up space in your closet. Holes, stains, and cat fur all okay!

Look who wandered in fashionably late to kitten season: Stevie!

We love all kittens that pass through our doors, but Stevie really takes the cake. As a natural born explorer, expert biscuit maker, and all around gals-gal, it's hard not to fall in love!

She is now available for adoption through our Petfinder, where additional medical information can be found. We can't wait to find a fur-ever home for this special lady!

Look at those clean teeth! Miss Lucy came by last week for her annual dental cleaning, and left with a beautiful pearly smile. 🦷🧼

Did you know routine dental cleanings aren't just for fresh breath-they're necessary for a healthy body too! Heavy plaque and tartar buildup can result in damage to the jaw, gums, and even loss of the tooth (or several)! Just like people, oral bacteria can also spread to other areas in the body leading to infection in the heart, liver, kidneys. Establishing a good dental hygiene routine as a kitten or young adult can set your feline friends up for a happy, healthy smile for life!

Join us in spreading some neighborly love! We are collecting pet food and supply donations for those affected by the tragic apartment fires in Cedar Park. Please feel welcome to bring any contributions to our front office by Thursday, August 17th 😸

Thank you for all your help in caring for our community!

Happy International Cat Day! From snuggles and playtime to scooping boxes and finding less than happy "surprises" barefoot, we couldn't imagine a life not spent dedicating to loving these beautiful felines.

Tiggy, Peanut and Finnegan, Aurora and Shanks, Galileo, W***y, and Cowboy are just a few of our favorites.

Interested in showing off your kitty companion? DM us or reach out to info@cathospitalofaustin to find out how!

The long awaited Patty reveal...

Surgery Tuesday was a success, and Patty (or about 80% of him) has officially made it back home! He is settling in comfortably with some love and TLC from our technicians, huge bowls of fresh veggies, and of course some painkillers to keep him feeling well. We are very happy to let y'all know his mobility already seems to be improving without his not-so-lucky rabbit's foot weighing him down ❤

We will keep everyone update in the next week as he heals more and is finally given the freedom to hop around a bit more freely. Thanks you again for all those who have kept Patty in their well wishes!

Patty update!

Firstly we would like to thank everyone who has stopped by to visit, donated, or even just sent Patty well wishes in their passing thoughts. We are truly overwhelmed with the love and support this little guy has received from our community. ❤

A few months back, a set of pins were placed in Patty's leg in hopes we could mend his broken bones, and give him a fresh start with a loving family. Through this, Patty has put up with countless bandage changes, countless sessions of hydrotherapy, and daily yucky medications. Unfortunately despite our best efforts, Patty's bones are not healing as well as we had hoped, and he will need an additional surgery. He heads up to our friends at White Rock Veterinary Hospital tomorrow morning for his procedure. We are being as optimistic as possible, but it is likely Patty will need his leg amputated to progress further on his healing journey. We are definitely in it for the long haul with this little guy!

We are still collecting donations to fund his surgery and aftercare needed in the next few weeks. If you are able to contribute to the fund supporting and financing his care, you can donate here: https://gofund.me/bab207d8

Our team will follow up in the next few days as we get him back home and settled in.

Have a safe and happy 4th of July!!

Reminder of our upcoming closure this week!

We will be closed for 2 days towards the end of this month for some staff training. Please be sure to check if your fur kids need any prescription refills so we can take care of those for you prior to the closure. We will be open Friday the 23rd for our normal hours. Thanks!

It's pride month!! Our resident greeter, W***y, is ready with her fancy new collar! How are you celebrating pride month?

Patty living his best life with his new fashion bandage wrap! It's giving and vibes✨️👡 Happy Wednesday from Patty!!

Blue Bell is back! Due to no fault of her own, we are accepting applications again to adopt this sweet kid. Unfortunately, the senior kitty in her adopter's home was not happy giving up her only child status! Blue Bell gets along well with other kitties, as well as dogs. She is a little shy with other pets at first but warms up quickly! She is playful but exceptionally calm and well-behaved for such a young kitten! Reach out if you're interested!!

PATTY UPDATE 🍀
Mr. Patty had some xrays yesterday, and although the break isn't aligned as perfect as we'd like, it is showing signs of bridging and healing! This is great news! Overall, our plan is to continue his current treatment plan for another 4 weeks and then recheck xrays again at that time. Patty is SUCH a good bunny, but his care is extremely intensive. At this time, Patty receives twice daily medication, laser therapy 3 times per week, bandage changes with wound care and Manuka honey treatment 3-4 times per week, and weekly rechecks at the referral practice. As always, we truly appreciate your continued support. If you're able to contribute to the fund supporting and financing his care, you can donate here: https://gofund.me/bab207d8

We ❤️ our staff!! They will be taking a short break from our normal schedule this afternoon for some team building. We will close at noon, and reopen for our regular hours tomorrow. If your pet is experiencing a medical emergency please reach out to or for assistance. Have a great Thursday!!

Exciting news!!! We are FINALLY stocking collars again! We've teamed up with to offer locally-made collars and accessories! Stop by to take a peek at all the adorable patterns we have in stock!

PATTY UPDATE: Mr. Patrick was a perfect gentleman at his visit with the referring doctor today! He had a recheck of his incision and got an A+ for working hard on healing and eating all his veggies! We have his next followup scheduled for next week, fingers (and paws) crossed that he will continue to heal well and we will see some progress soon! We are so thankful for all who have donated and shared, if you are able to contribute to Patty's care please check out our at https://gofund.me/0feaafa7

Oh my! Caroline is looking absolutely ✨️STUNNING✨️ in her springtime outfit! It worked well to keep her from disturbing her sutures while they were healing. What a purrfect patient!

PATTY UPDATE 🍀: Our poor friend Patrick is looking a little grumpy, but we promise he is happy to be back in his own bed! He had excellent care at the referral practice, and his leg is on the mend! He is taking lots of pain meds and antibiotics to help him out. As you can see, his surgery didn't slow down his love for lettuce at all! We are not quite out of the woods yet, and Patty is going to have a very long path to recovery. We are expecting a minimum of 6-8 weeks of healing and at least one follow-up procedure, more if there are any complications. We are so thankful for our community that has sent so many well wishes his way!! If you are able to donate to his care, we (and Patty) would appreciate your help! https://gofund.me/0feaafa7

Many of you have already seen previous photos of our new friend, Patrick. Unfortunately we have been unable to locate Patty's original family, so he has become part of our adoption crew!

We currently have one bunny and 2 kittens in our adoptee list. The two kittens we are working with are well cared for with a foster, but will be returning to the practice next week (stay tuned for baby pics!). Patty requires more intensive care and is living in the practice. We have shared in the past that we have a small donation fund we use to fund these cases as well as time and product donations from Dr. Leland to care for these adoptees.

Unfortunately, it has become clear Patty is going to require specialized orthopedic surgery, so we are creating a gofundme to help offset some of the costs of his care. We truly appreciate any donations, or if you are unable to contribute financially it helps tremendously if you would share our post with others in the community! We are so thankful for our amazing community that has helped to fund countless rescue cases through our hospital. If you would like to share so others can make a donation, our gofundme can be found here: https://gofund.me/0feaafa7

Hey Rattan Creek neighbors! This handsome fella was found very injured and terrified by a client of ours and brought in for medical attention. Please call 512-258-2024 if you know anybody missing this little guy ❤

With Valentine's Day behind us, you may have noticed the bouquets 💐 at the store have changed from roses to spring blooms. We all want you to embrace your inner independence and but when you do make sure they are feline friendly!

We are very happy to share we are open and resuming normal services! We appreciate your patience during the last week, and we will be working as quickly as possible to catch up with our backlog of calls and emails. If you need assistance urgently, please reach out to us at 512-258-2024. Thank you!

We are still without regular power. Our updated plan is to reopen for our regular hours on Monday. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

UPDATE: We are still without power. We will try for a postponed opening at noon. I will update here as soon as we have confirmation on if it will be possible or not.

We are crossing our fingers we will have power back and be able to reopen tomorrow at 10am! We will keep you updated here! A quick shout out and big thank you to all the workers away from their families tonight working long hours to restore power to our neighborhoods, remove trees and debris, and keep our community safe! Stay warm out there!

Unfortunately, like many in our area, we are without power! The clinic will be unable to reopen until power is restored. Please stay tuned for updates. If your pet is experiencing a medical emergency please reach out to CTVSEH or AVES for assistance. We appreciate your patience and understanding and hope you are all staying safe!
South CTVSEH is closed due to no power as well.
We are HOPING to open at 10 am on Friday, 2/3/23. Please look here for updates. Right now, we only know that a crew has been assigned to fix the problem but it is due to downed power lines in the area

We hope you are all staying safe and warm out there!

Due to the continued risk of dangerous driving conditions, we will remain closed tomorrow. Please stay tuned for updates on when we will be able to reopen!

Safety first! We have made the difficult decision to close tomorrow due to the potential for unsafe driving conditions. Please be safe if you have to get out tomorrow, and if you don't...cats make a great snuggle buddy for cold weather!!

Handsome Peabody wishes you all a happy Friday the 13th!

W***y thinks it’s no time for work, it’s time to sploot on the keyboard and she will be taking calls for us today! Stop by and say hello to our front desk coordinator! 😻

The first week of the New Year has Peabody like...
