I have been a client of the Clinic for 7 years. During that time my cats have received excellent and loving care. I especially like using a place that specializes in cats only. When I had to put my old guy to sleep a few years ago, the Clinic sent me a sympathy card signed by the whole staff and made a donation to the Davis Veterinary Clinic Foundation. Dr. Rau, her vet techs, and the receptionists are all knowledgeable and attentive. I couldn’t ask for more. Read Less

We have been going to Benicia Cat Clinic for over four years. The Benicia Cat Clinic team has seen our cats through everything from routine checkups to medical emergencies. The cats and the humans have always been treated courtesy and kindness, and the billing process is extremely transparent and explained in full. We love Dr. Rau and the whole staff! Read Less

My small furry family members have been clients of Benicia Cat Clinic for over 20 years. The clinic has always had the most caring staff. The vets are top notch and treat you like family. If you have a furry who is sick it is nice to know that when you take them to see the vet there won't be a dog barking to scare them even sicker. The clinic is super. It's a wonderful place to board your little ones-you can go on vacation and not worry. Read Less

Adopted two kittens a few weeks ago and brought them here based on close proximity and yelp reviews thus far they have been excellent with my kitties and taken care of all my needs very quickly I call and ask questions and every time someone answers I am greeted with great customer service and prompt responses. I talk to Kathleen a lot and she always advises me and what she doesn't know she checks with the doctor and is always sure to call me back I've never had to follow up on my own she always gets back to me! Thus far my experience has been fabulous. Read Less

I have been to the Cat Clinic a couple times in the past and I have really enjoyed Dr. Brisbane's exceptional care and knowledge on cats. But since he left, I struggled with where to go since I just wanted him. Today I had a visit with Dr. Rau and I am so glad I tried her out again since Dr. Brisbane retired. She was very compassionate and caring toward my 2 cats. She also spent a lot of time educating me on my cats, as well as just enjoying talking about both my cats unique personalities. I was also impressed with the vet tech who seemed to really know how to handle cats well and was also gentle with my boys. As a healthcare professional myself, I will say their animal bedside manners were phenomenal! Last, but not least, the receptionist were also friendly and very knowledgeable too. The office, as usual is one of the coolest places I've ever taken my cats because everything is about cats! It's clean, quiet and unique. I love it! My cats and I say "Thank You" to Benicia Cat Clinic (meow)! Read Less

My family started taking their cats here after they found out that their local vet in Vallejo declaws cats and docks puppy tails (widely considered unnecessary and inhumane practices by humane organizations). The vets at Benicia Cat Clinic have been absolutely wonderful to my family's cats. They helped our older, former stray with dental extractions - making sure to only remove those that were causing her discomfort or were a risk to her health - vastly improving her quality of life. They are also helping to treat my sister's kitten who has horrible skin, UTI and other problems. They're helpful, cat-loving and effective - everything you want your cat vet to be! Read Less

Our cat, Kupo, died recently and we adopted two kittens as playmates for our cat Bear. Unfortunately, they have URIs and we decided to take them over to be seen and have wellness exams at Benicia Cat Clinic. My husband, made an appointment for Tuesday at 4:30 (yeah, I even have a thing to prove it). My little kittens in carrier and I arrived for the appointment. Natalia had never heard of the appointment. Natalia pointed at Cathleen, "I'll be in surgery. Cathleen, you check them in." Cathleen had never seen me, but I've been a customer for 6 years, and I deserve respect. Since she took my name and Leroy Clark's phone call, and since she had a half-hour of looking over cat food, and came up to me. She said, "I am very sorry, you are not on the schedule. One of my openings is on Wednesday at 3 p.m." "Not for me is not," I said. (I suffered a stroke, and I talk with difficulty and Wednesdays are my speech therapy day.) Cathleen did not talk to the vet to see if something could be worked out since I was already there with the kittens. She seemed like it would be no big deal for me just to come back another time. I made arrangements to be able to make the original Tuesday at 4:30 appointment already and was there at that time. "I'm sorry for the appointment. What else am I supposed to do?" "See me!" "I am very sorry. And you're not on the schedule. .  . . Have you been to Sage? They an emergency service there." I am not dealing with an expensive bill or the time to travel to Concord just because you lost the original appointment and can't fit me in! I took my cat carrier, preparing to leave. "You sure have some cute cats," Cathleen said lamely. I'm sorry over this, but I will not come to Benicia Cat Clinic again. Your reception team did not make me feel welcome, are forgetting or not entering appointments, and are not helpful to my cat's needs. Read Less

I am not a cat person. Probably will never be. But we had a cat in our family for 18 years. Chloe A rescue cat. She never got bigger than a kitten. However she thought she was the boss of the house. A few days ago she stopped eating. She stopped grooming herself a couple months back. So we knew it was time to say goodbye. Thank you Benicia Cat Clinic for making Chloe's departure peaceful. You folks are awesome and really deserve 10 stars Read Less

I love Dr. Brisban, no matter where I live in the Bay he's my Man. He is compassionate, gentle, kind and loving. He goes out his way with an adept thoroughness.  My boy runs around like he's home with no fear or shyness which is unusual for unfamiliar surroundings - he is extremely comfortable. Read Less

We love Benicia Cat Clinic! Brought our two cats in yesterday, one for a vaccine & the other for a thyroid check. Let's just say the cats were not on their best behavior. Dr. Rau and the technician who saw them were so gentle and kind and spoke to them in the most soothing of voices but the cats being cats were scared. Dr. Rau and the technician were super, despite a change of scrubs and a hissy bitey fit thrown by a certain tiger cat. We are very grateful for their kind, conscientious care of our sweetpeas.

My two are litter mates and have been together all their lives. But they could not have two more different personalities. My boy is social and a big flirt. My girl is timid and much more shy with strangers. The staff at Benicia Cat Clinic treat them both with care and are sensitive to the needs of each of them. Something their human appreciates very much! Two paws up Read Less

We took our kitty in knowing she was sick and old, but thinking we could fix it. We were treated with compassion and concern, and most importantly honesty. Our little girl was dying, we could try lots of expensive things but she would most likely not survive regardless. We appreciate the care taken in making that horrible experience a little less horrible.. we miss our girl so much but we know she isn't suffering anymore. Read Less

Benicia Cat Clinic (both Dr. Rau and Dr. Brisbin) have been absolutely wonderful over the years since we discovered them and are truly an excellent and caring place to take your furry children. I cannot speak highly enough of them. The office staff and vet assistants have also been wonderful and I always know my kitties are being taken care of by people who truly care. Read Less

I had the pleasure of visiting Benicia Cat Clinic this morning.  I called last Thursday when I noticed worms in the feces of one of my cats. I was offered a same day appointment but was unable to make that work in my schedule. This morning I arrived totally stressed with bringing 2 cats to a vet by myself.  My older cat tried to escape her box and thankfully the Dr. moved her to an exam room to mellow out while I brought in the other cat.  My normally indifferent cat was very friendly to both the Tech and the Dr. That has to say something about the type of people who work here. My extra feisty cat who hisses at everyone gave no issue to both the Tech and the Dr.  Both cats were given worm meds and updated on their shots and everyone made it home happy (including me).The front desk staff is pleasant and helpful.  I even received help getting my cats back out to my car.  I'm very happy with our visit and will be returning as needed.  Thanks so much.

It is truly just my luck that I have the wonderful staff at Benicia Cat Clinic so close to me. Even if they were far away I would go the distance to have my kittens seen by their staff. They receive excellent care from Dr.Brisbin. I highly recommend Benicia Cat Clinic.Read Less

It is very comforting going to Benicia Cat Clinic. Our kitten was very well taken care of. The staff at Benicia Cat Clinic treated our new kitten with the same kindness as our cat. I highly recommend them Read Less

Earlier this week Dr. Morris put our beloved torty Isabelle to sleep.  I have had other cats put to sleep at the end of their lives (specifically at Pinole Pet Hospital), and previous to now believed the process was handled well.  Having now experienced the Benicia Cat Clinic's toughest job, and how very beautifully they handled it, I feel compelled to comment.Isabelle was an older cat; when you've had a cat all its life you know when something isn't quite right, even if it's not glaringly obvious.  Without going into details, it was clear Isabelle needed to take the dreaded ride to the vet; by the end of the day Dr. Morris called to tell us that she was in stage four kidney failure, and shared Isabelle's "numbers" last week, compared to her visit in April.  She provided options (24/7 IV care at a special clinic, likely to cost thousands being the most impossible) but given Isabelle's advanced age and the unlikely chance the failure could be reversed, we discussed having a vet come to the house for euthanasia.  Over the 4th of July weekend that proved quite problematic (and again, prohibitively expensive), so we chose to keep her with us, tending to her and giving her as much love and care as she could endure.It was clear over the weekend that she was sliding, so we had that time to prepare ourselves and on Monday the Clinic found a time for us.Dr. Morris spoke with us at length, perhaps reassuring herself as much as us that it was time.  She described precisely what she would be doing, how Isabelle would be feeling and reacting, and left us for as long as we wished in a very comfortable (and comforting) sitting room where we could say our goodbyes.  (At Pinole Pet Hospital both euthanasia's were done in the exam room, with the cats on the metal table; two shots and boom -- I was ushered out within 15 minutes.)  Instead of two shots Dr. Morris put in a catheter and then administered the meds, asking us each time if we were ready.  She could not have been more thoughtful, gentle, or kind, to us and to Isabelle.  I have no doubt that Isabelle passed in peace, with no pain and very little tension.In all the sad process took 75 minutes, but we never felt rushed, or in any way as though we were inconveniencing anyone at the Clinic.  Isabelle's sister Stella is also an old lady, and while we know her time too will come, we are greatly comforted by knowing that Benicia Cat Clinic will be there to help us.  You cannot say enough positive about that, and you cannot put a price on that help.To every person at Benicia Cat Clinic, our sincerest thank yous.  Melissa and Mark Read Less

We move to Fairfield and took the recommendation of a friend for someone local. After the great care we've had at BCC before, they just couldn't come close to matching. We'll be going back to BCC from now on! Just hope they forgive our transgression! Read Less

The most helpful, professional, and friendly animal clinic I have ever been to. The doctors and staff all treat me and my cat with the utmost care and respect. For boarding and medical care, they are by far the best in the area. I highly recommend them. Read Less

I have brought my cats to Benicia Cat Clinic for over ten years because of the many times they have gone above and beyond to give excellent care. They have called with test results after they were closed many times to help ease our anxiety. Thank you for everything you do, Read Less

Great clinic for cats! Because they only focus on cats, they are the experts! They are great with my cats, even Cindy who is incredibly shy. They understand the nature of cats and gain their trust with their gentle nature. Read Less

Simply the best! I've been a client since 1994 and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Informative and knowledgeable doctors; friendly, polite, helpful staff... Great prices; a boarding facility that allows me to go out of town without worrying and a dog-free environment. Read Less

I highly recommed this place for all of your cat needs. We had been using another vet that I was not happy with. So when my cat Leo got very sick I decided to take him to Benicia Cat Clinic. From the front desk staff to the doctors everyone was wonderful in taking their time with us to explain everything that was going on with Leo (from the beginning to the end), and what options we had. I had used their boarding facilities as well, and they took very good care of him. When our other cat is due for her next exam, she will be going to Benicia Cat Clinic. Read Less
