I met with Alina on Friday morn- ing, and I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't have loved to take a nap on her couch. In fact, the office's reception area is the pinkest living room you'll ever see, complete with comfy cat-themed pillows and soft lighting designed to keep clients calm while they wait to see Alina. "I wanted to create a safe space for cats so they aren't stressed when they come here," Alina told me. "I want them to be com- pletely relaxed." It's true feline luxury. Regardless of whether or not they are waiting in line, Alina lets her clients wander around the office for about 10 minutes before taking them into the examination room. During that time, the vet observes them, offering treats and cuddles along the way. This, Alina says, helps immensely. In fact, this allows Alina to successfully treat cats who are otherwise considered difficult or aggressive, who then leave Fe- line Good actually feeling good. "There are many interesting stories, but for me, it's just an- other day," she said. "People thank me for saving their ani- mals, and I'm like: 'Yeah, yeah.' For me, it's normal." But how did all this start? For someone who seems to possess such an intuitive under- standing of cats, it might come as a surprise that Alina wasn't always particularly fond of them. Actually, she was a dog person until a few years ago, when her 16-year-old dog sadly passed away. By her side was her blind cat Chiara, who is actually the star of the Feline Good logo. "I found Chiara in a garbage can in Romania. She was a very small kitten. I raised her on my chest," Alina told me, describing Chiara as her "Romanian soul- mate and daughter." Alina's love for cats grew from there, as she gradually realised that she actually gets along far better with felines. Eventually, she expanded her family to four cats, each with their own very distinct personalities. My favourite is Neuron, who apparently "hates everyone, everything, and herself." De- scribed on Feline Good's web- site as a "mysterious household presence with no patience for anything except cheese," Neu- ron appears silently during the night to stare at Alina, "unim- pressed." There's also Brigid and Piel- icica, who seem to be engaged in a very serious, almost Shake- spearean love affair. Brigid loves smacking Chiara on the head, and Pielicica the Sphynx loves disappearing for days on end. As fun as all this is to read, Ali- na didn't put it on her website for nothing. "I wanted people to see that my cats aren't perfect just because I'm a vet," she explained. "It's not always peaceful. They fight, they have relationships that change." Alina's growing love for cats eventually led to a conversa- tion with a friend about open- ing a cat-only consultancy. And just like that, the idea for Feline Good was born. "Then, I started shaping the idea," she said. "I was so in- spired." Two years later, the office opened its doors. But Feline Good is not just Malta's pinkest and only cat-ex- clusive veterinary consultancy. It's also the island's only one to receive international certifica- tion for cat care. It was awarded bronze certification by iCatCare, the highest-level Feline Good can achieve for its size. "The president of the organi- sation sent me an email to con- gratulate me and tell me how ex- cited she is about Feline Good," Alina recalled excitedly. "They visited Malta and were sad to see that none of the clinics are cat-friendly." Alina made it very clear that she does not want Feline Good to remain Malta's only cat-ser- vice, and encouraged other fe- line-loving vets to implement a more cat-friendly approach. "It's not very complicated, you just have to be a bit aware of what they need," she said. "Courses are available online; I did one for free six years ago." She also explained that some cats get traumatised just from visiting the vet. While owners are left with little choice when their pet is in an emergency, Alina said vets can change the way they do things "just a bit" to make cats more comfortable in moments of stress. "We just have to make a bit of space for cats in our lives," she said. 'I wanted to create a safe space for cats so they aren't stressed when they come here,' Alina told me. 'I want them to be completely relaxed.' It's true feline luxury Feline Good is the first cat-exclusive veterinary consultancy (Photo: James Bianchi/MaltaToday)
