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.
