How to Save Money at City Kitty Veterinary Care for Cats

Schedule Regular Vet Visits

One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.

Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions

Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.

Pet Insurance

Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Getting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask

Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:

Tell me about your experience with [pet type].

Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.

How do you handle emergencies?

You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.

How do you communicate with pet owners?

Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.

Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?

Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.

Do you have any questions for me about my pet?

This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.

Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?

Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

I HIGHLY recommend using City Kitty as your vet for your cats!! The front office and the back office are super friendly and so accommodating. The vets and vet techs are compassionate and want work with you to make sure that your cats receive the best care possible. I have two torties that I have struggled to take to the vet because they get so stressed, and do not like being around dogs. They also have the well known “tortitude.” 😂 This has caused me not to want to take my cats to the vet since they act out. Taking them to a cat only vet, with a veterinary team that understands cats and cares for them really made a difference and allowed them to get the care they need. City Kitty is truly one of the best vets that I have been to! Thank you so much!

They answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable and reassured that she was in good hands!! They really care about their patients here and I’m so glad we found City Kitty!! :) she LOVES her new toy!!!

The staff at City Kitty are all absolute peaches. They all clearly have a deep love and affection for cats and they spoil my girl every time she comes in. Even when it’s not an appointment, calling them is so easy and the front desk is incredible at answering questions even when it’s not a cat in their care. I appreciate how my doctor wanted to hear about how we rescued our cat from Puerto Rico as she was going there to help set up a vet school which would help countless cats. This is the vet for crazy cat people, thank you to city kitty from me and Coqui 🩵

From the front desk staff to the veterinarians everyone here was very polite and clearly LOVE cats. They were very upfront and transparent with costs and actually cheaper than what I initial thought. I got my female cat and male kitten spayed here and they provided aftercare instructions and kept us informed while the animals were in their care. No complications at all! They fawned over my kitten since he's a pretty boy and offered him treats and pets making his first vet experience fantastic! I left confident I would return for their yearly shots and if anything comes up!

City Kitty is the most caring, compassionate and professional veterinary office I’ve ever been to. I’ve lived in multiple states and have always had cats and they are the cream of the crop! We switched from a different practice in RI after receiving an astronomical quote for dental extractions and mediocre care. A friend recommended City Kitty and I couldn’t be happier to have made the change. Not only were they much more reasonable but the care they provide is top notch. From my initial call with the front office staff, I knew we were in much better hands. They were so kind especially considering this was a time sensitive situation. Dr. Mercurio performed an extensive dental extraction procedure on my cat, Bruce.I was nervous and she called me before the procedure just to let me know everything was good to go. I appreciated that so much! The technicians were all wonderful and Bruce’s recovery was a breeze. He is happier and so are we!
