About

The Forest Hills Cat Hospital was founded in 1974 by Dr. Jay Luger. In the mid 1970′s the idea of a cat’s only hospital was revolutionary because small animal practices were primarily dog-centric. During that period there were less than a handful of feline only practices. Nowadays there are more than 200 feline only practices in the US. Today the Forest Hills Cat Hospital is the oldest feline only practice under single owner proprietorship east of the Mississippi. Our special “No Bark” environment is designed to lower the stress levels of our feline patients.

Our mission is to provide your cat with the finest in preventative care in order to maintain a high quality lifestyle and if your cat should become ill, our goal is to provide him/her with the best and most compassionate medical and surgical care available.

During the course of the last 34 years, the Forest Hills Cat Hospital has trained at least seven young men and women and inspired them to enter the ranks of the veterinary profession. We have also trained more than a dozen men and women via cooperative arrangement with the Veterinary Technology Program at La Guardia Community College, an internship program at Russell Sage Junior High School and other schools to begin careers as veterinary technicians.
