Urgent Care
Your cat may need immediate attention for an acute illness even if it is not a life-threatening emergency. At the Cat Hospital of Tucson we will help you evaluate over the phone the type of care your cat needs when you call, and may refer you to emergency services.
We prioritize urgent care appointments for current patients and clients but will work to see urgent cases for new patients if possible.
Unfortunately at this time, we do not take walk-ins.
