The Job Opportunity:
An established feline-only veterinary practice is seeking a Part-Time Associate Veterinarian to join its collaborative and supportive medical team.

This is a wonderful opportunity for a veterinarian who genuinely enjoys working with cats and would like to build deeper expertise in feline medicine within an environment designed specifically around their unique medical and behavioral needs. Both experienced veterinarians and new graduates are encouraged to apply, and previous feline-exclusive experience is not required.

The practice emphasizes thoughtful, evidence-based medicine rather than a high-volume approach. Appointments are generally scheduled for 30 minutes, giving doctors time to perform thorough examinations, communicate with clients, and develop individualized treatment plans without feeling rushed.

The feline-exclusive caseload offers meaningful variety, including preventive medicine, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, osteoarthritis, dental disease, senior care, pain management, internal medicine, and surgery.

Doctors are encouraged to practice with appropriate clinical autonomy while having experienced colleagues available for collaboration and case discussion. Professional development is strongly supported, with opportunities to strengthen skills in feline dentistry, surgery, chronic disease management, senior care, and other areas of interest.

• Experienced veterinarians can expect meaningful clinical autonomy while maintaining access to trusted colleagues for collaboration on challenging cases.

Compensation & Benefits May Include:

• Competitive Compensation
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Retirement plan with employer contribution
