At Cat Care Clinic, we’re proud to be Volusia County’s first and only cat-exclusive hospital, dedicated entirely to the unique needs of feline companions. Since opening in 2000, our journey has been rooted in compassion, innovation, and a commitment to setting the standard for exceptional feline veterinary care.
Our Story
Cat Care Clinic was founded by Dr. Leslie Nixon and her husband, John Nixon, in a small shopping plaza on Granada Boulevard. In 2005, growing demand for our services led us to relocate to a purpose-built, 4,000-square-foot facility on Yonge Street. This new space enabled us to expand our team, welcome more patients, and introduce advanced technology and treatments to better serve our feline friends.
What began with just three team members has flourished into a skilled, compassionate group of 17. Today, our team includes five veterinarians, nine technical staff members, three receptionists, and a dedicated practice manager, all focused on delivering stress-free, expert feline care.
Leaders in Feline Medicine
In 2015, Cat Care Clinic transitioned into the capable hands of Dr. Amber Carter and her husband, Kenny Carter. Dr. Carter, who first joined the clinic as an associate veterinarian in 2007, brought her extensive experience and deep passion for feline health. By 2018, Dr. Carter achieved board certification in Feline Practice by the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP), continuing a legacy set by Dr. Nixon. Together, they are the only two ABVP board-certified feline practitioners in Florida.
Gold Level Cat Friendly Practice
As a Gold Level Cat Friendly Practice recognized by the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP), we’ve gone the extra mile to create a calming, feline-focused environment. From our Fear-Free certified techniques to the design of our clinic, every detail is tailored to ensure your cat’s comfort and well-being.
