City Kitty Veterinary Care for Cats

Veterinary hospital and wellness center for cats only! City Kitty is a veterinary practice for cats only.

We adore cats and love taking care of them (and helping their families!). Everyone at City Kitty truly respects cats and appreciates what makes them special. We cater to all types of felines, and we know that cats really are the purr-rect pet! Our practice is funky and fabulous, and located on Providence's East Side.

City Kitty would like to extend a warm welcome to our new veterinarian, Dr. Erin Flynn. Dr. Flynn is a Rhode Island native but moved to Arizona, where she attended veterinary school. After graduating, Dr. Flynn worked for three years at a feline-only hospital in Phoenix, AZ. She is thrilled to be back home in Rhode Island and we are equally thrilled to have her join our team!

We have been expanding our space and soon we will have more exam rooms and a larger hospital to care for your kitties!

We're working very hard to keep everyone happy as we enter into the next more invasive phase of construction. A sincere thank you to everyone for your continued patience!

Also, we'll be closed tomorrow (Thursday) in observance of Juneteenth. Please call us today if you need anything. Otherwise, we'll be back on Friday at 8:00 sharp!

A Bittersweet Announcement About Our Boys.

Stanley and Walter are retiring from "City Kitty" to go live happily ever after with Chris, one of our senior technicians. With construction beginning in earnest and some age-related health issues starting with Walter, we decided this is the best thing for them. Now they'll enjoy their golden years getting the very best care with Chris. We will miss them like crazy, but we know this is the best. They've been going home with him on the weekends for the past several weeks and they LOVE it there; so many open windows with fresh air, sunbathing and real beds to sprawl out on. Their last day here will be this Friday, 6/13 so feel free to stop in to visit and wish them well in their next chapter!

Walter Chandoha (1920–2019) was a pioneering American photographer celebrated for his captivating images of cats, earning him titles like “the godfather of cat photography” and “the cat whisperer.” Over a career spanning more than 70 years, he produced an archive of over 225,000 photographs, including approximately 90,000 of cats.

Born in Bayonne, New Jersey, to Ukrainian immigrant parents, Chandoha developed an interest in photography during his youth, experimenting with his family's Kodak camera and joining local camera clubs. After serving as a press and combat photographer in the Pacific during World War II, he graduated from NYU’s School of Commerce in 1949.

That same year, a chance encounter with a stray kitten in New York City led to a turning point in his career. He adopted the kitten, named it Loco, and began photographing it, which sparked his passion for animal photography. These images gained popularity, leading to a successful freelance career specializing in animal portraits.

Chandoha's distinctive style featured brightly lit, color-saturated images that highlighted the personality and beauty of his feline subjects. He often photographed cats at their eye level to capture their expressions authentically.

His work appeared on over 300 magazine covers, in thousands of advertisements, and on various products, including pet food packaging. He authored at least 34 books, such as Walter Chandoha's Book of Kittens and Cats and How to Photograph Cats, Dogs, and Other Animals.

Chandoha's influence extended beyond photography; his images inspired artists like Andy Warhol and helped shape the visual culture surrounding domestic animals.

Chandoha and his wife, Maria Ratti, collaborated closely, with Maria assisting in managing the animals during photo sessions. They raised six children on a farm in New Jersey, where family life often intertwined with his work.

He continued photographing well into his later years, with his last cat, Maddie, adopted in 2018. Walter Chandoha passed away on January 11, 2019, at the age of 98, leaving behind a rich legacy that continues to influence animal photography today.

Here are some of our favorites!

Grab your hard hats! 🛠️
Walter and Stanley are thrilled to announce that City Kitty is getting a much-needed facelift—and expanding!

We’re beyond excited to share that we now have access to the former preschool next door, and will be joining the two spaces. This means more exam rooms, additional offices, and a larger treatment area—all designed to create a more comfortable and efficient experience for you and your feline family members.

Construction officially began this week! Please pardon our appearance (and the noise) as we work hard to bring this new chapter to life. We're doing everything we can to minimize disruptions and truly appreciate your patience and support.
