Description
Feline-Only Associate Veterinarian
Location: A Cat Clinic – Boyds, Maryland
We’re seeking a compassionate Feline-Only Associate Veterinarian who shares our deep love for cats and commitment to exceptional feline care.
As an AAHA-accredited and Gold Level Cat Friendly Practice, our hospital is devoted solely to feline health. Since opening in 1986 (and relocating to our current facility in 2005), we’ve built a loyal clientele and a close-knit team of “cat people” who are proud to deliver gold-standard veterinary care in a warm, stress-free environment that keeps clients coming back.
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
Our modern facility features advanced technology including:
- Digital radiography (full-body and dental)
- Ultrasound
- Comprehensive in-house diagnostics
You’ll work alongside two ABVP board-certified feline doctors and a highly skilled team trained in feline-specific handling and care. If you’re interested in becoming board-certified yourself, we’re happy to support and mentor you along the way.
We also value work-life balance—our veterinarians are not required to handle after-hours emergencies.
