Caring For Cats, Empowering People

We don’t just provide exceptional medicine for every cat we care for. We teach and empower you to live a better life together. We’ll embrace the human-feline bond, right by your side.

Every whisker

We are a feline only veterinary practice because we believe that cats do much better when care is tailored to them. Cats aren’t small dogs; they have their own disease processes, biology and risk factors. They have their own unique stressors, preferences in being handled, their own way of building trust and feeling safe. Here, everything is built from the ground up to celebrate that.

We created Boise Cat Clinic because we are crazy about cats. And we are serious about elevating the level of feline medicine to new heights. Because every whisker deserves the best.

Proudly Privately Owned

We’re not part of a corporate chain—and that matters. As a privately owned clinic, every decision we make is guided by what’s best for you and your cat. That means personalized care, flexible treatment options, and the freedom to practice medicine based on your pet’s unique needs—not corporate policies. We live and work in this community, and we're here to build lasting relationships, not meet quotas.

We start with relationships

We aren’t just your vet. We are your partner in your cat’s health. We take the time to get to know you. To understand what you worry about. To know what your cat means to you. We never let questions go unanswered or needs go unmet. And we pride ourselves on always making the difference you need.

We understand the human-feline bond and we know how it feels to love a cat so deeply. To care so much about them. Together, we’ll help them live the longest, happiest, healthiest life possible.

Beyond care

When you entrust us with the care of what is precious, we only know one standard: the best care, every time. But we believe in changing what your veterinary partner can be and mean for you, too. We believe in empowering you to be the best cat parent you can be. We give you guidance on all the little decisions that cat parents need to make in their daily lives. We make the complex seem simple, and we make everything feel a little easier.

Because when you are empowered, it can make all the difference.

A better life

Good medicine is about processes, technology, and training. Great medicine is about individualization. No two patients are the same. Every cat we care for receives the level of attention, thoughtfulness, and thoroughness that you would want for any member of your family. We don’t just tailor their care to their unique needs, we tailor it to their life stage and evolving risk factors. This allows us to offer a level of care that is simply unmatched.

Because to us, caring for cats isn’t just a job. It is our calling in life. And your cat is the reason we come in to work.

For love with cats is like a dream, A wondrous journey, a moonlit gleam. With every whisker, every stare, A cherished love beyond compare.

Had a great first experience at this vet. My kitty was limping and needed an exam as well and Dr. Sutherland was very gentle with her. After she had some x-rays and I came to pick her up later in the day, my cat seemed relaxed and not stressed out one bit. Very much appreciate that.

Honestly the best vet I have been to for my cats. It's always so quiet and they really know how to handle them. They have taken care of dental cleaning, tooth removal, general check ups, weight loss, and urgent care visits. And they always follow up. Highly recommend!

Everyone at Boise Cat Clinic, from the front desk staff to the doctor, exceeded my expectations. They were friendly, honest, and not in a rush. The vet assistant showed me the cost of the vaccines *before* I chose to get them for my cat, which has never happened to me at any vet before—usually I just say yes to everything and pray I won’t be bankrupt afterwards. Dr. Irwin told me that one of the vaccines my cat has been getting for years is only really needed for outdoor cats, so my cat did not get the vaccine this time, which saved me a considerable amount of money. Dr. Irwin also gave me a ton of helpful dental advice to keep my cat’s teeth clean and healthy. The whole time, I could tell these people really care about cats and aren’t just trying to get a bunch of money out of me, or trick me into an expensive procedure. Highly recommend Boise Cat Clinic!

I took my cat Squeak for a wellness visit today and was extremely pleased with all the staff and Dr. Irwin. They handled her with utmost care during her exam, nail and sanitary trim, and vaccinations. They took the time to explain everything as they were doing it. The hospital is very welcoming, warm and quiet. A plus for a kitty who is a bit nervous and unsure. This cat mom will be bringing the other furry purry to meet them soon.

Boise Cat Clinic takes great care of our 3 senior kitties. Their patience, expertise, and great customer service is well worth the drive from Nampa!
