Stress-Less Cat Visits: Because Comfort Matters
At Middle Brighton Veterinary Centre, we understand that cats thrive on routine and calm environments. A trip to the vet can feel overwhelming, so we’ve made it our mission to create a stress-free experience for every feline friend.
Our approach goes beyond medical care – it’s about making your cat feel safe, supported, and understood.
Why Stress-Less Care?
Stress can impact your cat’s health and behaviour. Fear-free visits help:
- Reduce anxiety and stress during vet appointments
- Improve overall wellbeing and recovery
- Build trust between your cat, you, and our team
Here’s what sets our approach apart:
- Feline-Friendly Handling – Our team is trained to adapt to your cat’s personality and needs.
- Ceva Calm Clinic Initiative – We use FELIWAY® pheromone therapy to create a soothing environment.
- Quiet, Cat-Only Spaces – Minimal noise and visual stimulation for a calm experience.
- Fast-Tracked Appointments – Less waiting time and reduced exposure to dogs.
- Ongoing Staff Training – Continuous education in feline behaviour and gentle handling.

- A calm, welcoming environment designed for cats
- Gentle handling tailored to your cat’s temperament
- Use of pheromone therapy and comfort tools like carrier covers and lick mats
- Expert care from our team, including Dr Amy – our feline medicine enthusiast and proud cat mum
