Feline Medicine at BVH – Because Cats Need Specialised Veterinary Care

Cats require a unique approach to veterinary medicine. Their behaviour, stress levels, and clinical signs differ significantly from dogs, which is why British Veterinary Hospital (BVH) is committed to offering feline-friendly, stress-free, and evidence-based feline medicine.

Our hospital follows the principles of the iCatCare Veterinary Society (formerly ISFM), ensuring our team practices internationally recognised guidelines for cat welfare, handling, and clinical standards. Membership keeps us up to date with the latest feline research, behaviour insights, and gold-standard treatment protocols.

Alongside our broader veterinary team, Dr Sofia, GPCert(SAM)—who holds a special interest in feline internal medicine—provides expert care for cats with more complex or chronic medical needs.
