The Cat Hospital

I brought my nine-year-old kitty to The Cat Hospital for an exam, dental cleaning, and extractions. Dr. Shanker and his team provided quality care and explained their process and procedures to me thoroughly. Their prices were exceptionally good - I paid less for this vet care than I did for the same procedures in North Carolina in 2019 (!) I specifically sought them out because this cat is extremely anxious at the vet, even with medication, so I can't take him to a vet clinic with barking dogs. They were also the easiest to schedule a dental with as a new client, and had the earliest availability of all the clinics I called. The facility was very peaceful and quiet (they were even using a special quiet vacuum in the evening to not disturb the kitties!) I also really appreciated their compassion towards my kitty - and for not exacerbating my guilt around his anxiety/aggression at the vet. The front desk team was very helpful and friendly each time I called and visited; no idea what some of these other reviews are about. Keep up the great work! As a side note, I'm an experienced cat person - I have/had cats with medical issues at home and have volunteered in cat rescue for years. So, I've talked to many vets and have taken my pets and fosters to many clinics. Hope this review is helpful for fellow cat owners looking for a great local vet practice :)

The staff are the best - starting with the front desk. Staff are always very helpful to get answers for questions or even to help transport cats out to my car. Dr. Shanker has saved the lives of more than 1 of my cats who've had difficult diagnoses over the years. Excellent care from all the vets & techs; they will work with me to provide the level of care appropriate. Prices are comparable. It's just cats, so it's less stressful for cats.

Dr. Shanker and the staff at The Cat Hospital are absolutely amazing. They helped our cat overcome a serious condition that so many other veterinarians/veterinary hospitals had not been able to solve. During our cat’s treatment, they took care of him with so much kindness and compassion, which reflects how much they understand cats; they are truly cat people. And the costs for their services are all very reasonable. Our cat is living a second life thanks to The Cat Hospital.

The Cat Hospital and the veterinarians are amazing, thorough, compassionate and caring for every feline patient. I’ve been bringing all of my cats here for over fifteen years. The vets are wonderful, will thoroughly explain what is going on with your pets and provide exhaustive care for every need and they never over charge like many of the other clinics and animal hospitals out there. I literally drive an hour to keep my felines with Dr S at the cat hospital!

Friendly, very caring staff. I've had many cats over the last few decades. Dr. Shanker is a cat whisperer! He's brilliant, He usually knows what's wrong before the test results come back. I find this useful because it helps you brace for what may be coming in the test results. He is kind, gentle, very good with the kitties and understands they are part of your family. It may take a while to get an appointment, take the time and get one. You won't be disappointed.
