Cats are wired to hide discomfort, and most aren't seeing their vet often enough. Sylvester gives cat caregivers a science-backed read on their cat's comfort at home, built on recognized feline pain science, so they can notice changes sooner and act on them. For your clinic, that means more cats getting care and a clearer picture of how they're doing between visits.
There are a couple of ways to bring Sylvester into your practice, whichever fits how you want to grow.

Ways clinics are growing with Sylvester
Grow with caregivers you already know
Share your unique clinic link before and after appointments, or bundle Sylvester into your wellness plans and memberships.
Either way, caregivers monitor their cat's comfort from home and their Cat Comfort Check activity flows into your Practice Portal, so you see what's happening between visits. Your team can view connected cats, track comfort check activity, see symptom checker results and identify caregivers whose cats are consistently showing signs of discomfort so you can follow up where needed.
Reach caregivers before they know they need you with Connect to Care
Let us bring new caregivers to you with Connect to Care, a done-for-you acquisition program built for vet clinics. We create, launch, and manage geo-targeted ads that reach cat caregivers in your area, including the ones who aren't searching for a vet at all.
When a caregiver runs a Cat Comfort Check and the results suggest their cat should be seen, your clinic is right there in the app with a direct booking link. Their activity flows into your Practice Portal, so new caregivers arrive with comfort history already attached.
You get monthly reporting and a dedicated campaign manager, and your team doesn't lift a finger on the marketing side. Connect to Care works on its own or layered on top of your clinic partnership.

How Sylvester closes the feline discomfort awareness gap
Cats are well known to mask discomfort. By the time a caregiver realizes something is wrong, things can already be serious.
The Sylvester Comfort Check helps close that awareness gap, giving caregivers a clear read on their cat's comfort and a way to know when it may be time to see a vet.
30% of Comfort Checks motivated a vet visit,
with 80% of those visits resulting in diagnostics/treatment.
For your clinic, that means caregivers who come in already engaged, already aware of what they're seeing, and ready to follow through on the care you recommend.

Purpose-built for feline medicine.

That means caregivers and clinicians are working from a foundation no general tool can replicate.
