According to new data from the CATalyst Council Feline Veterinary Market Insights: Volume V, the overall companion-animal veterinary market continued to contract throughout 2025. But feline clinical visits grew in every quarter of the year, extending an outperformance streak to 12 consecutive quarters and fundamentally reshaping the veterinary landscape.
The report, integrating seven independent data sources with full-year 2025 metrics, estimates the U.S. feline veterinary market reached $12.7 billion in 2025 practice revenue. If cats achieved the same level of veterinary access and care intensity as dogs, that figure would reach $33.9 billion, a 2.7x multiple, representing $21.2 billion in incremental revenue and one of the most substantial growth opportunities in companion-animal healthcare.
“The data is clear, and the opportunity is significant,” said Gina Fortunato, Executive Director of CATalyst Council
