CATalyst Council recognizes the imperative value of telehealth and believes that telemedicine benefits all stakeholders in cat health and welfare:
- The cat can meet a veterinarian on its own terms without external stressors associated with transport.
- The cat owner can establish a relationship with a veterinarian in a familiar setting in a familiar manner using a familiar format.
- The veterinarian will gain the ability to address environmental situations and human-animal interaction to establish the need and foundation for a physical examination.
- The local, state, and national communities of veterinary and animal welfare individuals and organizations will collaborate to solve community cat challenges. Underserved and resource-restricted cat owners will have access to appropriate and professional care for their companions.
