Job description

At Cat Care Clinic of Naples, cats aren’t part of what we do. They’re all we do. Since 1997, we’ve been Southwest Florida’s only cat-exclusive veterinary hospital, with every room, protocol, and workflow built entirely around the feline patient. We’re now searching for the right veterinarian who will help lead that vision into its next chapter.

This is more than a Medical Director position. It’s an invitation to become the clinical heart of an established, highly respected practice: to shape the medicine we deliver, mentor the people who deliver it, partner directly with ownership, and help build something lasting in the Naples community.

The Kind of Leadership Role You’ve Been Waiting For

No weekends. No after-hours. Monday through Friday.

This is leadership without the burnout. You’ll enjoy a Monday-through-Friday schedule with no weekends and no after-hours, plus protected time carved out for the leadership and administrative work that shapes a truly great hospital. Here’s what the role offers:

• Protected leadership and administrative time
• A direct, collaborative partnership with ownership
• Meaningful influence over clinical standards and protocols
• The opportunity to mentor and develop a talented veterinary team
• A real voice in shaping hospital culture and growth
• Long-term leadership and succession opportunities

Practice Exceptional Feline Medicine

Evidence-based medicine. Low-stress handling. Clinical excellence.

You’ll lead a skilled, close-knit team while managing complex medical and surgical cases in an environment designed entirely around cats. Because we treat only felines, everything from our handling to our equipment is tuned to keep patients calm and help you practice at your very best.

Above all, we’re looking for a veterinarian who is genuinely passionate about feline medicine and excited to have a real say in the future of the hospital.

Who You Are

You’re an experienced, collaborative veterinarian who leads by example and cares as much about your team as you do about your patients. You bring:

• 5+ years of clinical experience
• Significant feline experience (preferred)
• Fear Free certification, or a willingness to become certified

Your Success Today, Your Reward Tomorrow

We believe the veterinarian who helps shape the hospital’s future should share in its success. Our compensation is designed to reward both your expertise today and your future commitment:

• $140,000 to $180,000 base salary
• ProSal production opportunities
• Leadership performance incentives
• $10,000 sign-on bonus

Build something lasting, and participate in the value you help create. Our formal, retention-focused Long-Term Growth Participation Program rewards Medical Directors who commit to the hospital’s long-term success, with participation that grows right alongside the practice.

Benefits to Support Your Career and Your Life

• 20+ days of PTO starting in year one
• 5 paid CE days plus a $3,500 CE allowance
• Paid license and renewal fees, plus AVMA, FVMA, and AAFP memberships
• Simple IRA contributions
• Health insurance

Live and Practice in Naples

Naples is one of Southwest Florida’s most sought-after places to live, and it’s easy to see why. Picture white-sand beaches and warm Gulf water just minutes from the hospital, near year-round sunshine, a celebrated dining and arts scene, world-class golf, and an unhurried, outdoor-centered way of life. It’s a rare place where a meaningful leadership career and a genuinely good life grow side by side.
