How we picked cat-friendly vets near Stanmore

Clinics were ranked first by whether they state cat-friendly accreditation and list cat services, then by customer feedback, weighted by how many customers have left it. We kept clinics in or near Stanmore, or based there, and gave nearer ones a small lead. What each clinic says it offers cats came from its own pages, and after-hours cover counts only where the clinic itself states it. A published licence number also counted, though none of these clinics publishes one.
