Job description
At Cat Care Clinic of Naples, cats aren’t part of what we do. They’re all we do. Since 1997, we’ve been Southwest Florida’s only cat-exclusive veterinary hospital, dedicated to gold-standard care in a calm, low-stress, Fear Free environment. We’re looking for a full-time Associate Veterinarian who is passionate about feline medicine and ready to practice at a high clinical standard, without the noise, stress, and pace of a mixed general practice or emergency setting.
This is the role for a veterinarian who wants to focus their practice entirely on cats, take real ownership of their caseload, and grow within a well-established practice. You’ll work alongside our Medical Director and a close-knit clinical team to deliver comprehensive feline care that addresses cats’ unique medical, behavioral, and emotional needs, from routine wellness and dentistry to advanced diagnostics and chronic disease management.
The Kind of Practice You’ve Been Looking For
This is feline medicine without the noise. You’ll practice in a calm, cat-friendly environment alongside a supportive, cat-obsessed team, with the time and focus to do your best work. Here’s what sets the role apart:
A feline-exclusive caseload, with no dogs, no emergencies, and no weekends
Gold-standard medicine practiced with Fear Free, low-stress handling
Strong ownership of your own cases
A tight-knit team genuinely devoted to feline care
Room to grow within an established, respected practice
Close collaboration with our Medical Director and support team
What You’ll Do

Perform routine surgical procedures and provide anesthesia oversight for surgeries and dentals
Interpret diagnostics and provide compassionate end-of-life care guided by Fear Free principles
Build strong client relationships through clear, empathetic communication and thoughtful treatment planning
Work closely with our Medical Director and collaborate with a close-knit technician and support team
Maintain accurate medical records and uphold our clinical protocols
Who You Are
You’re a skilled, compassionate veterinarian who wants to go deep on feline medicine as part of a collaborative team. You bring:
A Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM or VMD) degree from an accredited veterinary school
An active Florida DVM license in good standing, or eligibility for Florida licensure before your start date
Active DEA registration
Legal authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship
At least 2 years of small animal clinical experience after graduation
Strong foundational surgical and dental skills
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
A commitment to Fear Free handling
The ability to work collaboratively within a small, close-knit team

Live and Practice in Naples
Naples is one of Southwest Florida’s most sought-after places to live, and it’s easy to see why.
