A critical resource for organizations in, or considering, the feline business, as well as for veterinary practices looking to increase feline visits. It contains the most comprehensive wellness and nutrition insights available today, gleaned from over 400 vets and 1,900 pet owners.
Why it Matters. Cats represent a significant missed opportunity for the veterinary profession, and by extension, suppliers. As an industry challenged by declining visits, transactions and new clients, getting cats in for wellness exams can bridge the gap, and more importantly, improve the health of the ~ 80M cats in the US!
CATalyst Council recognizes the imperative value of telehealth and believes that telemedicine benefits all stakeholders in cat health and welfare:
- The cat can meet a veterinarian on its own terms without external stressors associated with transport.
- The cat owner can establish a relationship with a veterinarian in a familiar setting in a familiar manner using a familiar format.
- The veterinarian will gain the ability to address environmental situations and human-animal interaction to establish the need and foundation for a physical examination.
- The local, state, and national communities of veterinary and animal welfare individuals and organizations will collaborate to solve community cat challenges. Underserved and resource-restricted cat owners will have access to appropriate and professional care for their companions.
