The Cat Hospital Ltd

The Cat Hospital Limited is Ireland’s first veterinary practice devoted exclusively to cats. Founded in 2009 by head‑vet Clare Meade, a specialist in feline medicine and member of the International Academy of Feline Practitioners, the hospital provides a full‑service, purpose‑built environment where cats receive care free from the stress of other animals.

Located in Glanmire, serving both Cork city and county, the team offers comprehensive consultations, preventive health programmes, advanced diagnostics and treatment options tailored to each life stage. Every appointment is scheduled to minimise waiting, and the consulting rooms are equipped with pheromone diffusers and cat‑friendly design to promote calm. The practice also advises owners on pet‑insurance options, ensuring that the latest, often costly, veterinary advances are accessible without financial worry.

With a focus on respect, compassion and evidence‑based medicine, The Cat Hospital combines modern feline health care with a warm, owner‑centred approach, building lasting relationships with cats and their families.
