Feline Hyperthyroid Treatment

I took my 15 year old cat Tiger to FHTC in Tacoma in Late Oct 2025 and the results are nothing short of miraculous! She had a T4 reading of 10.4 and was losing weight rapidly. I tried the methimazole route but she stopped eating and what little she did eat she was vomiting up. I knew even before I got to her regular vet after the treatment that it had worked as she looked much better and I could feel the weight gain. Her one month after T4 reading was down to 1 and I am going in soon for the three month check and am quite confident all is well. She has gained even more weight! Thank you Dr. Faythe Vaughan and staff for taking great care of my Cat! Before and after pics, you can see her faced filled out again with the weight gain after treatment.

Worked like magic. We got our cat back. We were concerned about leaving him overnight, but it was obvious the entire staff loves cats and would try to make him as comfortable as possible. The doctor even did the exam sitting on the floor with him so he wouldn't have to be up on the scary cold metal table. After the treatment, he was back to his old self within days, strong and muscular, able to relax, no longer on edge and irritable at all times, his fur is soft and handsome, he is once again the regal and stately master of the house. It was absolutely worth it.

Gave my cat a few more years. When he passed his thyroid was perfect but unfortunately SCL and a brain tumor got him. Wonderful staff even though he bit them..but that's my boy 🤣🖤

This facility treated us and our elderly cat like family. I cannot say enough good things about the entire experience. From scheduling to treatment and aftercare, they were the definition of customer service and compassion. Would give more stars if I could!

Dr. Vaughn and her staff are so amazing and they took excellent care of our 17 year old cat. She seems like an all around great person, as well. We had a lovely long chat on the phone about this life/health. Phil’s doing great and I feel confident that his twilight years will be more comfortable thanks to this treatment. Thank you for offering a convenient Tacoma location!

Bourbon my beautiful 14.5 lb tabby cat was losing weight quickly and wanting to eat constantly. Our vet, Ally Pet in Sammamish, discovered his hyperthyroidism and suggested several options. We chose the radioactive treatment with Dr. Vaughn at Feline HTC in Tacoma WA. I'm still amazed by the great results. Within a couple of weeks the thyroid was shrinking, and soon he started gaining weight. It's been over a year now and he never looked better. His weight is back, he barely sheds at all and he looks much trimmer. He's better than I've ever seen him. I'm so thankful for Dr. Vaughn and the team at Feline HTC. If you happen to be at the same decision point I was, I highly recommend the radioactive treatment eliminating your pets need for a lifetime of medications. Ultimately, it's the less expensive way to go as well. I know since a friend took the medication route for his cat and wished he had gone with the radioactive treatment.

Great communication from the staff and so far my cat is doing well following treatment. She was well cared for while under treatment at the facility and I was provided with regular updates while she was away from home. My baby girl says thank you!
