Emergency Vet Care

When to Seek Emergency Pet Care

If your cat is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, immediate veterinary care is crucial. While our veterinarians strive to accommodate urgent cases, some situations require 24-hour emergency care. Below is a list of trusted emergency veterinary hospitals in the Seattle area that provide care 24/7, including weekends and holidays.

If your cat is experiencing any of the following symptoms, seek emergency care immediately:

✔ Difficulty breathing or choking
✔ Uncontrolled bleeding or deep wounds
✔ Severe trauma (falls, fractures, or car accidents)
✔ Inability to urinate (especially in male cats)
✔ Sudden collapse or seizures
✔ Ingestion of toxins, poisons, or foreign objects
✔ Severe vomiting or diarrhea lasting more than 24 hours
✔ Signs of extreme pain (crying, hiding, or aggression)

Call an emergency clinic for guidance if you’re unsure whether your cat needs emergency care.
