Do you speak fluent meow? Are your scrubs perpetually covered in cat hair (by choice)? Do you believe every feline deserves to be treated like royalty? If you answered yes while a tabby perched on your shoulder, we want you!

At Cat Clinic of Iowa City, we’re a feline-only practice where cats rule and humans obey (but with love). We’re currently seeking an experienced full-time veterinarian who doesn’t just tolerate cats—they understand them. The kneading, the dramatic flops, the sudden 3 a.m. zoomies—you’ve seen it all and you’re still smitten.

What You’ll Love About Us:

• A cat-exclusive practice—no barking, drooling, or tail-chasing here.

• A calm, low-stress environment designed for both cats and their humans.

• A dedicated, tight-knit team that shares your passion (and your lint roller).

• A loyal feline-focused clientele that values gold-standard care and expert guidance.

What We’re Looking For:

• An experienced DVM (2+ years preferred) with strong clinical skills and a soft spot for the purring kind.

• A true cat enthusiast who’s confident managing both routine and complex feline cases.

• Someone comfortable working independently while collaborating with a team that loves cats almost as much as you do.

• Excellent communication skills—you know how to educate, empathize, and reassure even the most nervous cat parent.

The Perks:

• Competitive salary: $100,000–$120,000

• Full-time schedule with excellent work-life balance

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• CE allowance and professional dues covered

• Supportive environment where your experience and ideas are valued

• A practice where your love for cats is not just accepted—it’s required
