Veterinarian

Our feline practice located in Western New York is seeking another feline focused, progressive, and enthusiastic associate veterinarian to join our team! 

Summer Street Cat Clinic was established over 40 years ago and has been highly regarded in the communities with a very loyal and growing clientele. There are two locations: Getzville and Buffalo which are just 20 minutes apart. Our Getzville location borders the State University at Buffalo. We have lots of walking trails right outside the hospital and a backyard to relax in. Our downtown Buffalo location is a beautifully renovated carriage house that offers a historical vibe having been built in the late 1800’s and in the heart of the historical district. This location is very cozy, efficient, and charming. Clients are known to go back and forth between the two as well as our team members, but we are flexible to your needs.
