Dr. Stephanie Globerman has been practicing veterinary medicine for over seven years, five of which were focused exclusively on the care and treatment of cats.  Formerly of the Cat Clinic of Roswell, Dr. Globerman opened Paws, Whiskers and Claws, The Feline Hospital in December 2006.  The premier North Georgia cat clinic, Paws Whiskers & Claws is a full service veterinary hospital providing compassionate patient care and client relations in the North Georgia metro Atlanta area.
 

Treating a cat is very similar to treating a small child: they cannot communicate to tell you where it hurts so it is important to listen to the client and to ask the right questions to understand the patient's problems.

As the body of medical knowledge continues to expand, concentration on a single species allows our doctors and staff to provide the most up-to-date medical care for your cat.  In addition, we are able to provide the care in a quiet, warm environment, unlike the typical veterinary facility.  There are no barking dogs or squawking birds to frighten, intimidate or further stress your feline.  We incorporate the understanding of feline behavior into every aspect of the care we provide.  Cats are very often misunderstood and their fear is often misinterpreted as aggression.  Knowledge of cat behavior and most importantly their changes in behavior, is paramount to understanding and treatment of their overall health and well-being.  It is a cat's instinctive nature to hide their ailments as well as change their normal routine as a survival technique from their days in the wild.  Normal cat behavior is unique and not as well understood as their canine or human counterparts.  It is imperative that cats are cared for and handled by knowledgeable professionals in a stress free environment and with the compassion and tenderness they deserve.  Finally, our state of the art hospital is set up and equipped with only the feline patient in mind.
