AAFP & ISFM Feline-Friendly Handling Guidelines

The goal of these guidelines is to provide useful information for handling cats that can lead to:

• reduced fear and pain for the cat
• reinforced veterinarian–client–cat bond, trust and confidence, and thus better lifelong medical care for the cat
• improved efficiency, productivity and job satisfaction for the veterinary team
• increased client compliance
• timely reporting and early detection of medical and behavioral concerns
• fewer injuries to clients and the veterinary team
• reduced anxiety for the client.

The client handout referred to in the guidelines is available here.
