Guards against a contagious virus that attacks bone marrow immune cells, spread through direct cat-to-cat contact.
FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus)

Year-Round Parasite Protection is Essential in South Jersey
We offer Bravecto Plus for feline topical protection against fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites.
To help keep pets safe, we implant passive microchips roughly the size of a grain of rice beneath the skin. Research indicates that microchipped pets are reunited with their families in over 95 percent of cases, compared to under 10 percent for un-microchipped animals.
Additional primary care offerings include diagnostic testing for itchy skin, management plans for feline allergies, nutritional counseling for balanced weight, behavioral consults for house soiling or anxiety, and travel documentation completed by USDA-accredited veterinarians.
Urgent Care and Emergency Services for Cat Owners
Sudden medical issues can arise unexpectedly, and our practice is fully equipped to deliver urgent care and emergency intervention. We are open every day of the week from 8 AM to 10 PM, with walk-in availability for emergency cases. For patients requiring extended hospitalization and monitoring, we provide 24-hour nursing care to keep close watch over recovering animals overnight.
Urgent care visits address non-life-threatening medical needs requiring prompt attention, such as acute vomiting, sudden diarrhea, localized wounds, ear or eye discharge, minor lameness, or sudden changes in appetite. Emergency medical care handles acute crises, including severe respiratory distress, physical collapse, uncontrolled bleeding, trauma, or active seizures.
Our surgical suite provides soft tissue and orthopedic capabilities with monitoring technology tracking heart rate, blood oxygen levels, blood pressure, body temperature, and carbon dioxide output throughout procedures. Dental care includes ultrasonic scaling, digital dental radiography, subgingival cleaning, and surgical tooth extractions for periodontal disease or resorptive lesions.
Diagnostic capabilities feature on-site digital radiography for structural assessments. We also coordinate outpatient specialty appointments, including abdominal ultrasounds and echocardiograms conducted by board-certified specialists. Further treatment options include mobile veterinary visits, scheduled virtual telemedicine consultations, acupuncture, therapeutic laser therapy, and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy.
