ICC Gold status for Cat Care
We're proud to say we have been awarded GOLD status for cat care. We are the only clinic within central Cardiff and the only independent clinic within the area to have been granted this award.

Why choose us for your cats care?
We believe in fear free approach for all species.. We have both Pet Remedy and Feliway Optimum plug-in diffusers throughout to the practie to create a calming atmosphere. Our quiet dedicated cat waiting room will help keep your cat calm before they enter our spacious consult rooms. They will be able to roam in the consult room and acclimatise with the feliway optimum diffusers and pet remedy sprayed towels. The dedicated cat team are very experienced both in the veterinary profession and as cat owners too. Our consultations are 20-minutes, giving your cat time to settle before we examine them.
We have in-house blood machines so that we can run pre-anaesthetic bloods or a more comprehensive blood profile including thyroid checks (so important for our older feline friends!). We have a doppler blood pressure monitor so that we can check those all important numbers in your delicate feline, especially those that are in their senior years or have kidney / heart concerns.
We have digital x-ray machines that provides excellent diagnostic images in an extremely fast speed for reduced sedation/anaesthetic times. We also have a mobile ultrasound which means we can easily adapt for your cats needs. We will be able to go though these images with you on the same day, so you are able to have results quickly and provide a plan for your cats care.
At Origin Vets Clinic, we have a special interest in dentistry of all species and we have invested time and finances in to digital dental x-ray specifically for cats that is used by dental specialists throughout the UK. We are therefore able to obtain high-quality full mouth x-rays in just a few minutes compared to older machines. This benefits your cat greatly by reducing anaesthesia time, in addition to guiding us in making accurate decisions about the dental treatment required for your pet. We can go through these on the day with you too so that you can understand the treatment plan.
Our team is very experienced with surgeries and most surgery will be able to occur within our clinic. However, some very complex cases may require referral to a specialist hospital and we will always discuss the best options for you and your loved cat.
Not able to make a face to face appointment? We understand that you may need not be able to do this every time and so we can offer a drop off service where your cat will be examined during the working day and our vet will call you to discuss the case. There is just a small additional day patient fee of £12 for this service along with the normal consultation fee. However if you join our cats health plans, the additional day patient fee is waved.
We also understand that out of hour emergencies can occur too and we have a dedicated out of hours provider that will be able to care for your cat during these times. If you have a genuine out of hours emergency then please call our line as normal, the the out of hours team will advise you.
