I can’t recommend The Clinic for Cats I’m Nanaimo highly enough! Very professional, ethical and kind. You can really trust them to give your cat or kitten the best care out there!

I got the medicine I needed and the diagnosis was correct. But they will try to up sell you on medicine you don't need food for your cat. I highly recommend finding another vet.

A little over a week ago, we had to have our beloved Ells Bells put to sleep. Dr. Maloney and staff did everything possible to help her, and also to give me the time I needed with her to feel as much at peace with her passing as I could when it was decided that was the only option. They went above and beyond, showing such care and tact. Today I received a very sweet card in the mail, with Ells' footprints inside, and a message from staff. I can't express enough how our family feels receiving this.Thank you so much to the Dr. and all of the staff for your understanding, care, and attention to detail. It's been a very difficult time for our family, and through the entire process you have shown genuine care. Read Less

Staff and Dr. great to use when we got our very feral cat fixed. They were able to walk us through all the details and post-op care, event though this wasn't a regular house-cat situation.

Very unprofessional, refused my mother service after claiming she had left a negative review, which she never has. So now I'm giving them a real, negative review.

I took my cat in as he had gotten into a cat fight and had puncture wounds and a swollen leg. I called the day of and they were able to get me an appt for just a few hours away! I was very pleased as I had taken a day off work to try and get my cat into a vet up here. Being new to Nanaimo I had looked up multiple clinics and was about to make the hour drive to my previous vet for my cat but new that it would just be stressful for the both of us so I was very pleased when Clinic for Cats was able to get me in so soon! Dr.Maloney and her co-worker were so wonderful with my cat, trimmed his fur on his leg and cleaned his puncture wounds and gave me some antibiotics to aid with infection all for a very reasonable cost! I will definitely be keeping them as my cats vet for as long as I am living in Nanaimo! Thank you for taking care of us and helping me care for Dash! We will be back in a few weeks for his updated shots! :) Read Less

I've been to this vet before so I made an appointment and went in. When I mentioned I couldn't pay for 9 days (my cat needed to be seen to asap!) She opened the door for me to leave and said they wont do anything! Told me to surrender my cat to the spca. Even though I've paid them before, I could have left my credit card number on file and done a deposit. Wouldn't even take the time to give me an estimate! I am PO'ed and would rather drive out of town to have my animal seen by someone who cares. Read Less

When our beloved family pet had fallen ill, I sought out the Nanaimo Cat Clinic, because I have had very good experiences at the Heritage Cat Clinic in Victoria. (Just to be clear, they are not associated.)
I am displeased with the length of the exam that was given. It was merely 5 minutes, including the wait time. Not thorough. Not worth the 70 bucks if you ask me! She didn't even notice that my cat is missing a tooth, and every other vet I've ever seen has commented on it.
-The 'doctor' was not able to come to a diagnosis at all. She was cold and seemed irritable. I was the last appointment of the day, but I don't think a customer should feel like they're being rushed out the door. Frankly, she wanted to kill my cat, because that was the easiest solution for her. That is not the kind of vet that I want to deal with.
-The x-rays were more than double the price of what they are at Bellevue Animal Hospital (where I have gone previously), and on top of that, they didn't harbor any results.
-I'm from a low income household. I explained that to these people. All I wanted was to help my sick cat. Instead of helping my animal, they treated me like a money mill. 70 bucks for an unnecessary exam, and $165 for a useless x-ray. No diagnosis. And a bad attitude. Thanks for nothing guys.
I hope my cat lasts 2 more weeks so i can get a second opinion next payday. Read Less

This vet advertises they they make house calls. I chose this vet because of this alone. I have a anxious cat. She is a sweet cat at home, but becomes fearful and potentially agressive when at the vet and requires anaesthetic so the vet can handle her. She has never bitten anyone. She has been labelled Fractious and the Vet will not make a house call. Seems to be a good vet, but false advertising! Read Less
