Position Purpose

Not all DVM roles are created equal.

At TLC Cat Clinic, we’ve intentionally built a different kind of environment—one that’s quieter, more focused, and designed around what cats (and the people who love them) actually need.
If you’re looking to practice high-quality medicine without the chaos of barking dogs, heavy restraint, or snowy patient walks, this may be the change you’ve been hoping for.

We are a feline-exclusive, Fear Free-focused practice, which means:
Patients are generally under 20 lbs
Minimal noise, calmer workflow


No nights or weekends (M–F, 9am–6pm)
Emphasis on low-stress handling (Churu > force, always)
The ability to truly specialize in feline medicine
Streamlined inventory & pharmacy (yes, it matters)
And… a healthy supply of lint rollers
