I've brought my many cats here for 9+ years & they've always given the best level of care & insight I've ever seen at any vet's office. Seriously, don't bring your cats anywhere else.

I am SO impressed with The Cat Hospital! Being new to the area, I was so nervous to take my best friend to a new vet, especially during the pandemic when I couldn't go in with her. The Cat Hospital was so professional and knowledgable. After speaking with them over the phone and meeting them in person, I knew my cat was in good hands. Not only are they extremely knowledgable, they also keep their prices 100% affordable and accessible.
Big thank you to the whole team for keeping my cat comfortable and healthy during her teeth scaling. I am so happy that I found The Cat Hospital! If you are considering a new vet for your feline friend, I highly HIGHLY recommend. Thank you!

My rescue cat was spayed and given 2 shots. The Cat Hospital was gracious to accept a voucher with a small copayment for services. The vet really examined Delilah and caught several things not mentioned by a different place 3 weeks before, when she was new to me. It's difficult during COVID to just send in your furbaby and not SEE everything. I feel confident Delilah received great care and will continue to bring her to The Cat Hospital.

I brought my kitty Pearl in to the cat hospital yesterday to be spayed & wow I am impressed. They are handling Covid the right way! They came right out to my car to get her, I filled my paperwork out and left it on the front steps for them to grab. They called to let me know how surgery went and the after care instructions. Upon pick up I payed with my card through the phone and they brought her back out to me.
I am so happy I gave them a try because now they will be the only place I bring both of my cats too! You can trust these people 100% with your cats. Pearl is doing great today and healing wonderfully! Can't thank them enough for providing a safe environment for the cats. A good vet is hard to come by nowadays!
