Report
Was referred here by a family member, let me just say this, I will not be adopting kittens from these people. When I walked in, nobody greeted me and once I was acknowledged, they were very rude. I had no vet reference for them to check so the dr had to approve the adoption. However, the dr wasn't in and I wasn't notified that until I had waited an additional 20-30 mins. I took my business elsewhere (Petsmart). The experience was great and I adopted 3 kittens. My three kittens will not be going to this clinic either!

No other Animal Hospital was able to successfully treat our cat, as he was so sick he didn't have much of a chance left. Dr. Lori not only saved our little tuxxy, but also restored my trust in veterinarians. Thank yall so much.

Dr. Williams caught and properly diagnosed what both an ER vet and my primary care vet missed on the X-rays they had taken for an issue with my kitty's knee. This clinic was able to get me scheduled for surgery in the same week that I called (which is AMAZING and typically unheard of!) - the referral vet I originally spoke with had stated they were scheduling out to June. Dr. Williams thoroughly explained the issue with my cat and gave me multiple recommendations for treatment. So impressed by and thankful for this clinic and Dr. Williams!

Dr. Williams saved my cats life last week! They got her in the same day I called and got her into surgery! Thank you Dr. Williams and Shannon! You both put me at ease and helped save my baby girl. Can't recommend this office enough.

My family recently adopted 2 kittens from Sound Cat & they are absolutely wonderful! The building/house is adorable, the staff is so helpful & personable & they provide exceptional care. I can't believe a place like this exists, but I am SO glad that it does! Even down to the sketchy, but beautiful, white cat that owns the place. I wish I could give them !

Very friendly, not a long wait and sociable cats are in the waiting area too! Dr Gervais has been very thorough and helpful in answering any questions I've had. Plus she diagnosed my kitten correctly!
