I have been taking my cats to The Cat Clinic for years. They are a compassionate, caring veterinary office. They have been there for all stages of my cats' lives, from rambunctious kittens to end of life care for my senior cats. I am so happy to be able to put my cats in their care.

I can't believe a place like this exists! I've had the hardest time finding a good reliable vet that wasn't a fortune. But I loved my experience here. All of the staff at the Cat Clinic have absolutely blown me away! Everyone was extremely patient, very thorough, and my cats weren't even *remotely* triggered about their visit. As a new patient, I got one of my kitties vet visit fees waved which was a nice surprise!
The vet (I believe Dr. Fanning?) Was soOo professional, pleasant, and just a treat to talk to. I'm already looking forward to the next check up! Thanks again for such a lovely experience. Ps -- THE APP! So easy to use. I highly recommend

They were so welcoming and helpful. All questions or uncertainties I had, they took their time to explain it. Before giving my kitten any vaccines or medicine I was contacted by the doctor and asked if it was ok to proceed. Every single person that I came in contact from the receptionist to the veterinarian were simply wonderful. I could only describe them as warm, professional, carrying and diligent.

Dr. Fanning was very attentive and detailed to my cats issues and care. Her follow up emails were very informative and helpful. She works with you directly to ensure your cat is getting the best care! I was impressed by the service I received and will continue to bring Prince to the Cat Clinic for care! I really appreciate Dr. Fanning's involvement in my cat's care and health.

The main veterinarian definitely knows the field. Unfortunately, the lab techs were very rough with my old cat. They put on heavy gloves and pushed her around, held her down. Of course she hissed and yowled! She was hurting. When I asked them to back off, they were rude and told me they knew what they were doing. When checking out, I was shocked at how high the bill was, but I paid it. About a month later, I got another bill.
They had "forgotten" to charge me for something. I ended up paying almost $400 for services my current (compassionate) vet charges $150 for. The whole experience was too stressful for my cat and me. I would never go back.
