Laboratory and diagnostics are described as in-house lab services and listed as in-house bloodwork with same-day results, routine urine and fecal screening, blood pressure evaluation, feline leukemia screening, and FIV screening.
- Radiology
- the site says digital x-ray is used to get clear, immediate interpretations of a cat's internal systems, and that technicians prioritise the cat's comfort during procedures.
- Dentistry
- full feline dentistry including complete cleanings, comprehensive evaluations, diagnostics using digital x-rays, extractions when required, and home care products for maintaining dental health.
End of life and pet hospice care: the site says its veterinarians and staff help owners understand a cat's illness, what can be done to help maintain a good quality of life, and when it is the best time to say goodbye, and that they can guide owners through the euthanasia process either at the clinic or through a referral for at-home euthanasia.
The clinic treats cats only. The website publishes no prices, price list, rates or fees for any service, and it does not describe boarding or cat condos anywhere. For services questions, cost or an estimate, the site directs people to call (952) 925-0035.

How City Cat Clinic works with clients
Appointments at City Cat Clinic are booked by phone. The client forms page states plainly: "Note - These forms are only for existing appointments. Please call our clinic to schedule your cat's appointment." The phone number to call to schedule is (952) 925-0035, and published hours are Mon - Fri | 9am - 4pm. There is no online booking or self-scheduling tool anywhere on the website.
Two online forms are published, both intended to be filled out before an already scheduled appointment. The Appointment Information Form asks for the owner's name, the cat's name, the scheduled appointment, a phone number, the reason for the visit, current diet and current medications, and questions about appetite, water consumption, vomiting, stools, litter box use, coughing or sneezing, and whether the cat goes outside. It carries these acknowledgements: cats must be in a carrier; the owner authorises City Cat Clinic to examine, prescribe and treat the cat listed and assumes responsibility for all charges incurred in that cat's care; and owners are asked to bring a fecal sample along to the appointment. A separate social media photo release is offered as an optional agreement.

On the Gold level specifically, the page says practices complete a self-assessment checklist using a variety of educational resources, that the programme has two levels, Silver and Gold, and that City Cat Clinic has achieved the Gold level. The elements it lists as crucial to reaching and keeping that level are: the practice is of a good clinical standard; the staff is knowledgeable about and understands cats; a gentle, caring and empathetic approach to handling cats; cat friendly waiting and exam rooms; the ability to hospitalise cats in a comfortable setting to meet their unique needs; and equipment specific and appropriate for cats, including anesthesia and x-ray.
No other accreditation is published on the website. There is no mention of AAHA accreditation and no mention of Fear Free certification anywhere on the site, and the older AAFP name is not used - the certifying body is named as the Feline Veterinary Medical Association. Questions about the certification can go to the clinic at (952) 925-0035.
