WELCOME TO METRO CAT CLINIC

Here we give cats the special attention that they deserve.  Our doctors and staff members all have great appreciation of and affection for cats.  Our purpose is to help you improve and maintain the health and well being of your cats and strengthen the bond you have with your cat.

We are a full service veterinary clinic for cats.  We offer diagnostic services, medical treatment, soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, and dentistry, as well as preventative medicine, parasite control, boarding, and di etary management.  We focus on preventative medicine and early detection of disease.

 In the fall of 1988, Dr. Joseph Openshaw opened Metro Cat Clinic, the first feline-only clinic in the state of Alabama and one of only about a dozen nationwide.  Since that time, cat care in Alabama has increased dramatically.  There are other feline-only clinics in Birmingham, and a large mixed animal practice has a for some years had a separate waiting room with its own entrance for its feline patients.  Over the years Dr. Openshaw has mentored many veterinary students, some of whom either have opened or work in feline-only practices.  After his allergies worsened to the point that he could no longer practice, Dr. Openshaw sold the clinic to Dr. Caroline Montgomery, who had worked part-time at Metro Cat Clinic for five years.
