KIMVETs – Melaka’s First Gold-Level Cat Friendly Clinic

Kim Veterinary Clinic & Surgery is proud to be accredited Gold Level Cat Friendly Clinic and member of the ISFM (International Society of Feline Medicine). We are trained to handle cats in a manner that minimizes stress, fear and anxiety, as well as advising you on the best way to safely and comfortably transport your cat to us.

At KimVets, we recognize that cats are unique creatures with specific needs and it’s important to us to demonstrate our commitment to the animals you entrust into our care.

While cats by their nature are sensitive to changes in their environment, and by understanding and accepting this we can recommend measures to make your cat’s journey to the vets, and their visit to KimVets a less stressful experience than anticipated.

That's why we strive to be more than just an animal clinic in Melaka, we aim to be a second home for your feline friends, where they are treated with the utmost care and respect. Show More

  • Understand how to approach and handle cats gently and with care.
  • Have good knowledge and equipment to manage the care of cats.

Achieving Cat Friendly Clinic accreditation involves all staff, from receptionists, nurses and technicians, through to vets. Each accredited clinic also has at least one ‘Cat Advocate’ – someone who ensures the cat friendly standards are adhered to, and who would be happy to talk to you.

We Are Stress-Free & Fear Free Certified

We understand that there are unique difficulties in bringing a cat to a veterinary clinic:

  • Cats often do not travel well and feel unsafe away from their home.
  • They are highly sensitive to new sights, sounds and smells.
  • Most cats prefer quiet and solitude and are highly susceptible to stress.
  • Most cats are highly stressed by nearby dogs in the clinic.
  • Cats need to be handled gently and with respect in the clinic.
