They are very passionate about caring for pets and pretty reasonable services! I have other family members that bring their cats here for years now. Awesome place!

I took my cat here this week after years of suffering with sinus issues. No one in my area could help. Dr Pam saw her and did an assessment with some X-rays and determine that she did not have nasal polyps like I thought she did. No one has ever been able to tell me if this was true or not they all said I needed a CAT scan which I did not. CAT scans are very expensive I was not able to afford one but Dr Pam was able to tell from the x-rays and get a diagnosis.

She put her on a treatment plan and Dr Pam was awesome. I only wish I had found her years before. I drove an hour and a half to get there and I would do it all over again. Too bad I don't live closer to her clinic. She is the true cat doctor

What! I say that with the kindest heart and excitement, I didn't know centers like this existed anymore. By that I mean, I called this place in need of last minute boarding because my husband and I had to fly out last minute and immediately, they were so nice, gracious and accommodating. I mean it was one of the best experiences I have had since my husband and I relocated to Shreveport.

We came to adopt our babies through a lady who could no longer care for them because they were getting so big and she was pregnant and didn't know how they would receive the new baby so we were more than happy to adopt them and from that day on, we have become cat parents and we want the best for them and being a part of the Cat Doctor family we feel at home.

We had to board them for 9 days and what better way to spend the money than to get the best room for our babies, you could say it was like paying for nights at a hotel.lol, but it was well worth it.

I love this place! Have two cats and one of them is a real pill! She spits, grows, swats, and cries like a baby. I am embarrassed to take Smokey there, but they treat him like a king even though he has an attitude problem. They take time to talk with you and I love the doctors. I fully recommend them.

Such fantastic veterinarians and staff. They only do cats and they do it really really good. They also have a store with cat supplies and Cat fun things. I can't imagine taking my felines anywhere else.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Coker and Dr. Durcie. They care for my 4 sphynx babies. One of my babies was of the verge of death with a calcium issue another vet could not figure out. She researched, listened to me as I researched, and we now have my boy doing great. He hasn't needed a calcium infusion in 4 years! She recently did dental work on another sphynx baby.

They always call and check on them and always take the time to listen to me and my concerns. I live an hour away, and even though it is a long drive, my babies won't go anywhere else!

Very friendly staff and quality care. I called Monday and was able to get a Wednesday morning appointment. I dropped my cat off before work and they watched him for me until I was able to pick him up at lunch. Very reasonable pricing. I can't say enough good things!

Took my babies for a check up after a long relocation and the introduction of a new friend. They were so accommodating of my 3 kitties, were not dismissive of my concerns, got us set up with parasite repellent and some meds to help my biggest baby with his cold. Vets are always stressful, but this was the best we've been to. The absence of dogs was great.

The facility is clean and the staff are all wonderful. They are communicative, knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly love the cats in their care. I will continue to bring my kitties here.

Fantastic! I believe there is no better place for feline care! Everyone who works at the cat doctor is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. My cat is skittish and was not too thrilled to go to the vet. They have excellent cat-handling skills and completed a full checkup, sanitary clip, and vaccinations without any fuss from my nervous cat! They were super patient with her, and also with us humans too. The Dr answered all of our questions and took ample time to explain cat heartworms and helped us choose an affordable weight management food.

I loved this vet office for my cat Nubbs! They were so patient with her although she made a scene every time. I was so worried when it was time to spay my cat and they explained everything thoroughly. I special requested that they call me with updates and they called me frequently to let me know what they were doing and how she was doing. I've never felt comfortable leaving my cat at the vet but they instantly won my trust that day especially with how caring they were even when Nubbs was being crazy!

I no longer live in the area and we all miss them! I had an emergency and called them all the way from California and they gave me advice after my cat was misdiagnosed at an emergency room. They recommended a cat only vet and explained what my cat was suffering from and when she was seen by the new vet they gave her that same diagnosis. Her eye is doing so much better and she hasn't had any flare ups since. If you own a cat you definitely need a cat doctor!

They are the friendliest people that know and love cats! We come here specifically for our grumpy cat, even though we bring our dog to a different vet; they are simply the best for your cat's medical care

For my cat's initial visit to check out eye, the vet opened an older textbook and said she thought it was melanoma of the eye, but showed us a picture of glaucoma. She then talked to us for 30 minutes about anything but my cat's condition. Upon our second visit to get booster shoots, the vet techs were completely unprofessional by sticking my cat several times. When they couldn't get the stick they ask the vet to do it. The vet yelled out that she wasn't going to do it and they needed the practice.

This is only a first impression review, but so far so good! The office staff was knowledgeable and helpful. I was able to bring in a fecal sample for my freshly trapped feral kitten instead of having to stress her out bringing her in when she doesn't even trust me yet. I was willing to call several vets to see who'd be the most helpful with this as stressing this little baby unnecessarily was not an option for me. Luckily, The Cat Doctor (my first choice) was willing to do it for me.

They seem to understand the needs of a stressed out feral kitten and actually care enough not to give her unnecessary anxiety over a fecal sample. I was surprised that during the time I was filling out the new client paperwork, the veterinarian was able to run the test and come out to speak with me about the results (coccidia) and treatment. The vet, Dr. Durci, was very kind, easy to talk to, and seemed to care a lot about the work she does.

She seemed to be very knowledgeable and confident in her expertise as well. Having seen and worked for multiple veterinarians over the years, I was very pleased with my first impression of her. Then comes the bill. I get nervous every time I go to the vet because I do a lot of my cats' preventative healthcare myself and I don't want to be charged for extra things that I don't need.

That was not the case today. She explained exactly what I was getting and why. When the bill came, instead of feeling that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach because it's far more than I expected to pay, I was pleasantly surprised at their competitive pricing. I expect I'll be coming back to these people next time I need anything done for my little angels.

I've been a cat mom for 15 years and lived all over the country and overseas with my two kitties Zero and Pippin. We're finally stopped moving and been with the cat doctor for 5 years. I have never had better vet care than with Dr. Coker and her staff. Everyone on the team cares about your cats as if they were their own. A few years ago when I lived in San Antonio and one of my guys had bladder stones.

No vet could figure out what was wrong with him, they chalked it up to Zero being a mental case. Fast forward to two years later, and several different vet visits later, with a move to Shreveport, Zero got so bad that I had to put him in emergency care over the weekend. When the cat doctor opened they saw him immediately and identified the problem.

The team saved my kitty's life and he's been back to his loving self. Not only does the team satisfy cats health care needs but the clinic also has boarding available. My cats are old and set in their ways; however, it doesn't matter if they are there for a short or long stay they always enjoy their stay, are well taken care of, and come back so happy! And if you are a cat lover, you will also appreciate that the team has cats roaming all around the front part of the office.

Of course I love this place, the dr, , the cats and the staff(who wouldn't?). But onto the real reason for this review- this is the place to bring your cat, if all other vets have failed u and your pet, bring your cat here. The dr is smart, funny and caring. She will catch what the other drs have missed. Let her be your second opinion and let the cat dr vet be your cats new vet.

Dr. Coker and staff are dedicated to your feline and it shows! I wouldn't go anywhere else with my cats! I'm so happy that we have a "dedicated cat vet" here because I know they have the latest and best information to help my feline babies. And I thought the prices might be higher because it is a specialty practice. I was pleasantly surprised to find that their prices are in line with most other vets.

I'm so grateful to Dr. Coker and her staff, particularly Jennifer and Jessica. Everyone was extremely helpful when I needed them most. They followed through with requests and treated Sammich and me like family, even after we moved out of state. I can't thank them enough for being so kind and so professional. The vet here in Oregon has some BIG shoes to fill.

If you have a cat, or kitten bring your cat or kitten to this veterinarian! Dr. Coker and her staff here are the BEST! They saved my cat's life! Seriously! If you have a female cat, you must get them spayed for obvious reasons, but besides that, they can develop an infection in their uterus that can kill them! I did NOT know this! I had been putting off getting my cat spayed for financial reasons and she developed this infection that almost took her life!

The Cat Doctor saved my cat's life! I'll say it again, The Cat Doctor saved my cat's life! I am forever grateful to Dr. Coker and her super and very capable and caring staff! They are the best! They specialize in cats and that's all that they work on over there is cats! It is a great place for cat lovers! It is a cat haven over there!

I love it! They are even open on Saturdays until noon! If you have a cat. GO TO THE CAT DOCTOR! They are THE BEST! I LOVE THE CAT DOCTOR! THEY SAVED MY CAT'S LIFE! Get your pets spayed or neutered immediately!

If you own a cat, this IS the only vet in town! She brought my neighbor's cat back from the dead. My cat loves her and her very friendly staff. Dr. Pam is THE best! I would not take my cat anywhere else. She is the Cat Whisperer!

I'm a proud owner of a gray tabby cat and it was a huge relief to find this place for her. The staff is so friendlyl and they truly love cats. It was a pleasant surprise to receive a behaviour report card after boarding our cat there for several days. It was my cat's first time staying away from home and was concerned and curious how she would handle the new environment.

The staff made a daily note to show how she was doing. When I first learned about this place, I was wondering if the cost would be higher because of they are specialize in feline. To my surprise, it was very reasonable price - I think it was a couple of dollars cheaper than another nearby vet where they boards dogs or cats in large cages. This place has multiple story "cat townhomes" so that your cat can jump up and down.

I also appreciated that they would take care of your cat for a few days after a surgery until it gets better and needs close observation. I know that my cat would be in good hands whenever I drop her off here, so I strongly recommend this vet for your cat's medical and boarding needs.
