The Schlievet Cat Friendly Clinic cages

Cats have special needs

Experts and nonprofessionals often recognize that visiting a veterinary clinic with cats can be very stressful for both cats and their owners due to their unique nature and needs. The ISFM’s Cat Friendly Clinic programme aims to help address these issues by creating more cat friendly veterinary clinics, reducing stress for cats and making vet visits easier for cat owners too.

At Schlievet, we are attuned to this situation and develop cat friendly solutions that improve the stay of cats in hospitals. We draw on our own experience and the knowledge of experts such as Dr. Claudia Tassani-Prell (Cat Advocate, Tierklink Hofheim) or Dr. Angelika Drensler (founding member of German Group Cat Medicine), and many others.

Schlievet for the Gold Cat Friendly Clinic status

Out of numerous problems reported to us by various staff from animal shelters, practices and clinics, we have developed a modular Cat Friendly Clinic cages concept. This consists of different cat box sizes, interior fittings and door options.

All this meets the requirements for the Cat Friendly Gold status. However, we go further to make it more pleasant for cats and staff to be together and to bring a more relaxed atmosphere into the ward.

Cat friendly boxes

Our cat boxes are made of white, light-coloured glass fibre reinforced plastic. Unlike metal cages, they do not transmit the animal’s body heat and are bright and friendly.

To ensure a pleasant stay for cats, we have the following standard equipment in our range:

  • removable cat hiding place
  • plastic door with privacy screen at the bottom
  • gradient and collecting gutter
