When does CatsOnly Aurora open?

CatsOnly Aurora opens Monday, September 21, 2026, inside Stanley Marketplace. The opening marks an exciting milestone for Colorado Cat families: a veterinary hospital created from the ground up through a Cat’s lens.

Stanley Marketplace is a vibrant destination in Aurora, making it easy to combine a veterinary visit with time in one of the area’s most recognizable community spaces. Before visiting, check the Stanley Marketplace location page for current details, directions, and contact information.

Why is CatsOnly different from a traditional veterinary hospital?

CatsOnly is designed exclusively for Cats. That focus shapes everything from the environment and handling approach to the way appointments are planned and delivered.

Cats experience veterinary visits differently from dogs and people. Unfamiliar sounds, strong smells, barking, busy waiting rooms, and sudden handling can make a routine appointment feel overwhelming. A cat-only setting allows the team to think carefully about those stressors and create a more comfortable experience.

CatsOnly was built around key feline needs, including:

A calmer environment designed specifically for Cats
Cat-conscious handling and communication
Veterinary care focused entirely on feline health
Time to understand each cat’s habits, behavior, and history
A supportive experience for both Cats and their families

You can learn more about the CatsOnly philosophy on the About Us page.

How can Aurora Cat parents prepare for a first visit?

A little preparation can make the trip easier. Cats often notice changes in routine, so begin calmly and give yourself plenty of time on appointment day.

Before leaving home

Leave the carrier out ahead of time with a familiar blanket or treat inside.
Use bedding that smells like home rather than freshly laundered fabric.
Avoid chasing your Cat around the house when it is time to leave.
Bring medication details, previous medical records, and a list of questions.
Note changes in appetite, drinking, litter box habits, mobility, or behavior.

The Carrier Guide includes practical ways to make carrier travel less stressful. You can also explore Pre-Visit Calm for additional preparation ideas.

What should you tell the veterinary team?

Cats are experts at hiding discomfort. Small changes can provide important clues, so share anything unusual, even if it seems minor. Helpful observations include:

Changes in eating or drinking
Hiding, irritability, or unusual vocalization
Changes in urination or stool
Weight gain or weight loss
Grooming changes or sensitivity to touch
Difficulty jumping, walking, or using stairs

Short videos from home can be especially useful. A Cat may behave differently in a clinic than it does in its normal environment.

What should Aurora residents do if their Cat is sick?

If your Cat has sudden or severe symptoms, contact a veterinary professional promptly. Difficulty breathing, collapse, repeated vomiting, serious injury, inability to urinate, or extreme weakness may require urgent attention.

CatsOnly offers information to help families recognize concerning situations, including guidance for general emergencies , GI emergencies , and urinary emergencies . When in doubt, call for guidance rather than waiting for symptoms to worsen.

For routine concerns, you can review the Illness Visit guide before booking. If you are unsure whether your Cat needs immediate care, use the Emergency Care resources and contact a veterinary professional.
