Paddington Cat
Hospital is a 'state-of-the-art'
veterinary practice situated in an 1880s terrace house on the
corner of Glenmore Road and Ormond Street.
We are located in a lovely pocket of
Paddington, in an inner eastern suburb of Sydney between the city and
Bondi Beach. [map]
On-street parking
is available on Glenmore Road and Ormond Street.
You can get here with the 389 bus which travels between North
Bondi and Circular Quay via the Bondi Junction Bus Interchange.

Reception:
Please register with our reception staff on arrival, whether to
attend an appointment, buy some food for Puss, or ask advice.
We stock a range of premium foods, including Science Diet/Hills, Royal
Canin/Walthams, and Iams/Eukanuba.
We can discuss and provide
you with your cat’s requirements for flea and worm control, and
we also have a range of collars and toys.
This is also where
you can fill out an order form for a Pet Tag, which is sent to
your address within a week, and can include our phone number on
the back as an alternative contact if you would like.

Consulting
Rooms:
We have 2 fully equipped rooms where the
consultations take place. There are small cat-size scales to
weigh each patient, plus the usual equipment such as
stethoscope, otoscope/ophthalmoscope, and Woods lamp.

Laboratory:
At Paddington Cat Hospital, we are able to perform the majority
of our laboratory tests on site, with our Idexx biochemistry
machine, bifocal microscope, refractometer, and centrifuge.
Other tests are sent to pathology labs (different laboratories
depending on the test to be done and the expertise of the
pathologists). This is also where we measure patient’s blood
pressure.

Treatment
Room:
This is the hub of the hospital, with all hospitalised cats
(apart from those needing isolation) staying in here.
We have our X-Ray
machine and dental equipment in here, and minor procedures as
well as preparing for major surgeries are carried out in the
treatment room.

Surgery Suite:
Here is where the sterile operations are carried out, anything
from a simple spey or lump removal to bone or complicated soft
tissue surgery. Inside the surgery itself (with a positive
pressure HEPA air filter), there is a stainless steel surgical
table, an instrument tray and an anaesthetic machine. There is
as little as possible inside the surgery and the surfaces are
easily cleaned so as to maintain the greatest possible
sterility. Just outside the surgery are the scrub sink, our
storage area, and the autoclave for sterilising the drapes and
instruments.

Boarding Room:
This is our dedicated room for cats on holidays. We have a
total of eight cages in here, two of them being multilevel
cages for cats from the same family to stay together. Each
guest has a number of opportunities each day for a run around,
either in the room or in the outside run if they prefer. The
boarding room has 2 windows with views over the street, a
number of scratching posts, and numerous toys to amuse.

Outside Run:
Our outside area is fully enclosed with mesh walls and a
covered roof. If our boarding cats are interested, they can
spend some time here each day for a roll around in the sun,
some breeze ruffling their fur and a chat with the staff as
they hang out the washing.
