Our History


Spokane Cat Clinic was founded in 1984 by Dr. Wittrock, Spokane Cat Clinic was the first veterinary practice in Spokane to exclusively care for cats. For over 30 years, we've built our reputation on providing specialized, compassionate care for feline patients.


In 1995, Dr. Carter became the clinic's owner, upholding the high standards set by Dr. Wittrock. After many years of dedicated service, Dr. Carter is now enjoying retirement, and Dr. Shaver took over ownership in the fall of 2024. Dr. Shaver is honored to carry forward the exceptional legacy established by Dr. Wittrock and Dr. Carter, ensuring your cats continue to receive the highest quality care.
