Costs vary based on the exam type and any additional services like vaccinations or diagnostics. We provide a clear estimate before treatment, and new clients receive a free first exam (terms apply). We accept cash, cards, and Care Credit to help manage expenses.

Chronic kidney disease is often called a silent killer because it progresses slowly and shows few signs until late stages. Regular wellness exams with blood and urine tests can catch it early, allowing for management that extends quality of life.

We offer Care Credit, which provides payment plans for veterinary care. Additionally, free first exams for new clients can reduce initial costs. We recommend discussing your budget with us—we'll work to find the most effective, affordable treatment plan.

For urgent needs, call Cats Only Clinic first—we accommodate walk-ins and can often see your cat quickly. If we're closed, we'll guide you to an appropriate emergency facility in the Rocklin area.

Emergency vets typically charge higher fees due to after-hours care and urgency. A regular vet, like Cats Only Clinic, can handle many urgent issues during business hours at a standard rate. Calling ahead can help you avoid emergency surcharges.

Emergencies include difficulty breathing, seizures, severe bleeding, inability to urinate, or ingestion of toxins. If you notice any of these, contact us immediately—we'll advise you on next steps and see if you should come in now.

For cats, urinary blockage is a life-threatening emergency, especially in males. Also watch for sudden lameness, vomiting that won't stop, or extreme lethargy. When in doubt, call us—we'd rather reassure you than miss a critical issue.

Cats are often considered challenging because they hide pain and illness, making diagnosis harder. They also stress easily in unfamiliar environments. Our cats-only approach minimizes stress and allows us to read feline behavior more accurately, leading to better outcomes.
