The Cat Doctor Fax Number — Health Certificates and Travel Paperwork
A pet's travel or boarding usually needs paperwork from The Cat Doctor — a time-limited health certificate, or the current vaccination record. Located in Seattle, Washington, The Cat Doctor is a companion-animal practice caring for animals throughout the Pacific Northwest. Because travel certificates are often filed through USDA APHIS, this page covers what still goes by fax and what does not.

Faxing to The Cat Doctor — FAQ
Most faxes to The Cat Doctor are a records-release authorization, a referral, or a refill request. When you move, the pet's complete chart is sent to the new veterinarian. Whatever the document, put the pet's name and your name on every page. When in doubt, ask The Cat Doctor what it needs before you send anything.
Every page should carry the pet's name and your name. On the cover sheet, name the document and address it to the front-desk staff or your veterinarian so it reaches the right desk. That keeps the pages matched to the right chart at The Cat Doctor. The identifiers matter as much as the document itself.
Incoming faxes to The Cat Doctor are not turned away by the hour, but processing is not immediate. Staff match faxed documents to a chart during business hours. Send anything tied to an appointment early so it is worked before the visit. Expect same-day attention only for the documents the team is waiting on.
Animal records fall outside the federal health-privacy framework that governs human care. Your signed authorization is what lets The Cat Doctor share the record, under state veterinary rules. That means the practical step is a signed authorization, not a legal form from a federal agency.
Yes, you can bring a printed record to The Cat Doctor directly if you are nearby. Ask The Cat Doctor whether it prefers fax, email, or in-person delivery. Label the pages so The Cat Doctor can file them with the right chart. Ask the clinic first, since some records now move through a portal. It is a small step that spares you a follow-up call.
