If you need to take your cat to the vet, I'd highly recommend this place. It is Cat Only, quiet and peaceful. My very senior cat was not traumatized simply by the stress of most vet waiting rooms full of dogs and cats. Dr. Steinberg was very thorough on her exam. Like most vets, she had a range of suggested tests they could do, but didn't hard sell them. She was willing to focus on the specific issue at hand first. A good place to go for people that really care about their cat's welfare. Read Less

I took my 6 yr old orange tabby to Cat Clinic yesterday to see Dr. Steinberg and I will definitely make this our regular cat vet.  First, my cat was really calm there and I think it is because the staff work hard to make the environment soothing for cats.  No dogs, loud noises, and feliway-soaked towels to throw over the carrier!  Dr. Steinberg spent a lot of time with me and gave me excellent, specific advice about my cat's diet.  The consultation fee was the same as the other vets I've been to in the past, so extremely reasonable for someone who is a cat specialist.  I will be back!

My cat was suddenly not eating.  After several visits, we decided to do a series of barium X-rays. Dr. Diane came back at 9pm to do a follow up X-ray  since the process was going much slower than expected.  Although the situation is not fully resolved, it looks like we will be able to avoid surgery.  I appreciate the extra care and squeezing in several unplanned visits. The front office staff and technicians are friendly and caring, too. Read Less

If your a cat owner or lover this is the place to take your kitty for check ups or other health concerns.We took our cat there for a second opinion.From the moment I walked through their doors I could tell these folks are not only cat people the place looked more like a resort for kitties. There were around six or more kitties running free and supper friendly. Dr. Steinberg is not only extremely knowledgeable, she is very warm and friendly. The front desk greets you with a huge smile and warm welcome.The other vets we have taken our kitty to have been more like an ER dealing with hundreds of sick animals, they always seem to have a high turnover with their front desk and vets, we almost never seen the same vet twice. Comparing my experience with our past vets the Cat Clinic stand out at the top and we will be only going to them in the future. I would like to thank them personally. Read Less

Great Kennel, attentive Vet! - I first came here to kennel my cat. Their kennels are high above the lobby with a view of the desk. I know my cat would find this more entertaining than a cage in a room at the back of the building. Since then, my cat has developed diabetes.

OFFICE MANAGER DOES NOT UNDERSTAND CUSTOMER SERVICE, I FIRED THEM AS MY CAT'S VET, AND THEN OFFICE MANAGER SENDS ME A CYA LETTER. I was a repeat customer of this veterinary facility. I liked the fact that it had a convenient location and specialized in feline health. Also, I found the vet to be quite compassionate and knowledgable, but her staff was routinely unusually hard to deal with and totally unaccommodating compared to every other veterinary office I've visited in California and elsewhere. The staff wouldn't matter except they the young women who run the place control access, scheduling, etc. Two visits ago, the vet told me I had to run a whole bunch of tests, and frankly I felt ripped off after spending over $500 when nothing was wrong with my cat (thank God). Then, more recently, I returned and took my cat for routine shots. The vet suggested splitting up the shots (to avoid overwhelming the cat's immune system) and I agreed. She explained the second shot could be simply given by a vet tech. Should be simple, right? Not at the Cat Clinic. Two weeks later, after repeated phone calls, I could not get on the Cat Clinic's tightly-controlled vet tech schedule. They could not accommodate me during my lunch hour (from work) or after work (between 5pm and 6pm), any day of the week. I finally asked the office manager Tracy if she could let me just come by with my cat either some evening or on the weekend and was told that she could schedule me 2 weeks hence. I explained how ridiculous this was - - particularly considering it was only a 1 minute shot and I was happy to wait around in their lobby. Her response was that the vet techs needed 20 minutes to weigh my cat and take its temperature before administering the 1 minute shot. And because they needed 20 minutes, there were no available appointments. I again offered to bring the cat and wait around until a break occurred in their schedule, but Tracy was not willing to accommodate that option. I finally concluded (and explained) that going forward after this shot, it would make better sense for me to take my cat elsewhere for regular treatment since the Cat Clinic was so needlessly (in my opinion) rigid and unaccommodating with respect to scheduling such a simple thing for a repeat customer, and I actually work for a living from 8-5. A couple of days later, I received a letter in the mail from Tracy, the Queen of Customer Service, saying that they refused to provide my cat with any further treatment because my "recent interactions with their clinic made it impossible" for them to "communicate with trust and confidence". Seriously? What arrogance for them to try to turn that little interaction around in a CYA letter. So here I will be more direct and not beat around the bush: This clinic is expensive compared to other clinics. It doesn't produce better results, or offer more specialized feline services. I am well-acquainted with all the reputable feline vets in Orange County, and elsewhere in California (including UC Davis) and I fired the Cat Clinic. For an office manager to create new problems instead of simply resolve a problem was the last thing I'd expected when I asked to speak with her, and frankly I fired them because of her actions. Any decent office manager without a huge ego problem would have recognized that sometimes customer service means being flexible to pet owners who work for a living. Read Less

I brought our cat Clarisse in to the Cat Clinic, September 2016 for a second opinion. As soon as we entered the facility, my husband and I were greeted by the receptionist with a warm smile and a Hello. From that point on, the visit continue to only get better. Dr. Steinberg is a very warm and caring Vet. Specializing only in feline care. This helped make our decision to follow through on her recommendations for treatment, very easy to do. She and the entire staff are "top-notch; professional, and caring." They follow up with their clients to see how the cat is doing; they 'encourage' each client to call with questions, comments or concerns at ANY time, and they WILL return your phone call's that day. Plus, I can get refills on medications, quickly.Dr. Steinberg herself, she goes the extra mile. I have had personal conversations with her over the phone, as well as via email and in the office. I truly feel she 'cares' about our Clarisse, as if it were her own cat. They have a TERRIFIC Boarding center on the second floor. One can be assured when the leave their cat at The Cat Clinic to board for a day or more, they will be treated exceptionally! Also, they have a full line of feline products in the lobby. The building is just fairly easy to locate, use your GPS if it's the first time. Just one building West from the corner, immediately on the left hand side. Plenty of parking. I could not be happier with them, and the treatment our Clarisse is receiving. Thank you, Dr. Steinberg and Staff! Read Less

We were 15 minutes late to our appointment (cat carrier nightmare...) but they kindly took us in.  I have been to a few vets office in the Bay Area and one in OC but I've never met a veterinarian like Dr. Steinberg, who gave such thorough exam!  One of our cat doesn't like to be on the counter so she sat on the floor with him to examine.  No vet has ever done that for him.  Their receipt is itemized clearly and you also get a copy of their visit notes.  We took a tour of their kitty condos/townhomes and it was amazingly quiet.  Everything looked tidy and all of the guests looked content.  We are so glad to find this place on Yelp and highly recommend it!

I am so sad that Dr. Kelly Wright is no longer the owner of the Cat Clinic. I agree with the review that says she is so compassionate & caring; she makes you feel that your cats are her favorites! She provided wonderful care for many years for my beloved Fidget, and then took care of my two new cats. I'm bereft that she will no longer be here to treat them. I always felt that she was a trustworthy professional, completely ethical, and not a price gouger. She is missed! The advertisement I recently got from the "new" owners of the Cat Clinic claimed that, "the Cat Clinic is bringing quality cat care back to OC." I feel that was a very unprofessional dig at Dr. Kelly--she provided quality cat care every day!! Good luck, Dr. Kelly! Read Less

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PSYCHOTIC RECEPTIONIST! I was driving from Arizona to Santa Barbara and wanted to make a stop in Orange, and since I am traveling with a cat, requested to board her for a few hours. The receptionist said it was fine, and then got SO SNOTTY saying "HAVE YOU EVEN BEEN HERE BEFORE??!" in the nastiest tone I have ever been spoken to, and said she actually couldn't board her because she needs a medical exam and they were all booked up, even though I have all of the cat's paper work from her previous vet, and she has all of her shots updated. This cat is perfectly healthy and has all of her paperwork with her, and the bottom line is that this place of business refused a customer for no apparent reason, besides the receptionist's bad attitude.

If you need to take your cat to the vet, I'd highly recommend this place. It is Cat Only, quiet and peaceful. My very senior cat was not traumatized simply by the stress of most vet waiting rooms full of dogs and cats. Dr. Steinberg was very thorough on her exam. Like most vets, she had a range of suggested tests they could do, but didn't hard sell them. She was willing to focus on the specific issue at hand first. A good place to go for people that really care about their cat's welfare. Read Less

OFFICE MANAGER DOES NOT UNDERSTAND CUSTOMER SERVICE, I FIRED THEM AS MY CAT'S VET, AND THEN OFFICE MANAGER SENDS ME A CYA LETTER. I was a repeat customer of this veterinary facility. I liked the fact that it had a convenient location and specialized in feline health. Also, I found the vet to be quite compassionate and knowledgable, but her staff was routinely unusually hard to deal with and totally unaccommodating compared to every other veterinary office I've visited in California and elsewhere. The staff wouldn't matter except they the young women who run the place control access, scheduling, etc. Two visits ago, the vet told me I had to run a whole bunch of tests, and frankly I felt ripped off after spending over $500 when nothing was wrong with my cat (thank God). Then, more recently, I returned and took my cat for routine shots. The vet suggested splitting up the shots (to avoid overwhelming the cat's immune system) and I agreed. She explained the second shot could be simply given by a vet tech. Should be simple, right? Not at the Cat Clinic. Two weeks later, after repeated phone calls, I could not get on the Cat Clinic's tightly-controlled vet tech schedule. They could not accommodate me during my lunch hour (from work) or after work (between 5pm and 6pm), any day of the week. I finally asked the office manager Tracy if she could let me just come by with my cat either some evening or on the weekend and was told that she could schedule me 2 weeks hence. I explained how ridiculous this was - - particularly considering it was only a 1 minute shot and I was happy to wait around in their lobby. Her response was that the vet techs needed 20 minutes to weigh my cat and take its temperature before administering the 1 minute shot. And because they needed 20 minutes, there were no available appointments. I again offered to bring the cat and wait around until a break occurred in their schedule, but Tracy was not willing to accommodate that option. I finally concluded (and explained) that going forward after this shot, it would make better sense for me to take my cat elsewhere for regular treatment since the Cat Clinic was so needlessly (in my opinion) rigid and unaccommodating with respect to scheduling such a simple thing for a repeat customer, and I actually work for a living from 8-5. A couple of days later, I received a letter in the mail from Tracy, the Queen of Customer Service, saying that they refused to provide my cat with any further treatment because my "recent interactions with their clinic made it impossible" for them to "communicate with trust and confidence". Seriously? What arrogance for them to try to turn that little interaction around in a CYA letter. So here I will be more direct and not beat around the bush: This clinic is expensive compared to other clinics. It doesn't produce better results, or offer more specialized feline services. I am well-acquainted with all the reputable feline vets in Orange County, and elsewhere in California (including UC Davis) and I fired the Cat Clinic. For an office manager to create new problems instead of simply resolve a problem was the last thing I'd expected when I asked to speak with her, and frankly I fired them because of her actions. Any decent office manager without a huge ego problem would have recognized that sometimes customer service means being flexible to pet owners who work for a living. Read Less

I brought our cat Clarisse in to the Cat Clinic, September 2016 for a second opinion. As soon as we entered the facility, my husband and I were greeted by the receptionist with a warm smile and a Hello. From that point on, the visit continue to only get better. Dr. Steinberg is a very warm and caring Vet. Specializing only in feline care. This helped make our decision to follow through on her recommendations for treatment, very easy to do. She and the entire staff are "top-notch; professional, and caring." They follow up with their clients to see how the cat is doing; they 'encourage' each client to call with questions, comments or concerns at ANY time, and they WILL return your phone call's that day. Plus, I can get refills on medications, quickly.Dr. Steinberg herself, she goes the extra mile. I have had personal conversations with her over the phone, as well as via email and in the office. I truly feel she 'cares' about our Clarisse, as if it were her own cat. They have a TERRIFIC Boarding center on the second floor. One can be assured when the leave their cat at The Cat Clinic to board for a day or more, they will be treated exceptionally! Also, they have a full line of feline products in the lobby. The building is just fairly easy to locate, use your GPS if it's the first time. Just one building West from the corner, immediately on the left hand side. Plenty of parking. I could not be happier with them, and the treatment our Clarisse is receiving. Thank you, Dr. Steinberg and Staff! Read Less

We have been clients of THE CAT CLINIC since we found Bob in 1995. He and subsequent cats have all been cared for with skill and love. Dr. Diane and her staff are the best.

Dr. Diane Steinberg and her staff love cats and it shows in everything they do.  The quality of vet care is very high and the environment is so low stress for cats who hate going to the vet.   Mine used to lose it in their crate of the way to the vet and cowered in the corner during the entire visit.  It was difficult just to get them weighed at the old vet who was a perfectly nice and good vet, just had a multi-species office which the cats hated.  Once they are at the cat clinic, they are still nervous but they relax with the vet and the assistants and it's no longer impossible for me to get them both in by myself.

We took our two senior cats for a check up this past weekend.  Everyone at the Cat Clinic are so very nice and attentive. We were 15 minutes late to our appointment (cat carrier nightmare...) but they kindly took us in.  I have been to a few vets office in the Bay Area and one in OC but I've never met a veterinarian like Dr. Steinberg, who gave such thorough exam!  One of our cat doesn't like to be on the counter so she sat on the floor with him to examine.  No vet has ever done that for him.  Their receipt is itemized clearly and you also get a copy of their visit notes.  We took a tour of their kitty condos/townhomes and it was amazingly quiet.  Everything looked tidy and all of the guests looked content.  We are so glad to find this place on Yelp and highly recommend it!

Went to the Cat Clinic for the first time today and really enjoyed my experience.  First thing you notice when you walk in is how nice & quiet it is.  My last experience at a different vet had a pit bull & boxer barking across the room at each other while my kitty stressed in her carrier.  This place is MUCH better & will be my new go-to Vet!  Really liked the tech and Dr.  Tech asked all the right questions and relayed them well to the Dr. so she was already up to speed as soon as she came in the room.  Dr. was very calm and thorough, explaining everything as she went.  My aunt had been recommending this office to me for a very long time.  I'm glad I finally listened!

I am so sad that Dr. Kelly Wright is no longer the owner of the Cat Clinic. I agree with the review that says she is so compassionate & caring; she makes you feel that your cats are her favorites! She provided wonderful care for many years for my beloved Fidget, and then took care of my two new cats. I'm bereft that she will no longer be here to treat them. I always felt that she was a trustworthy professional, completely ethical, and not a price gouger. She is missed! The advertisement I recently got from the "new" owners of the Cat Clinic claimed that, "the Cat Clinic is bringing quality cat care back to OC." I feel that was a very unprofessional dig at Dr. Kelly--she provided quality cat care every day!! Good luck, Dr. Kelly! Read Less

When I first got my kittens I went to two other Vets in the immediate area, I was not impressed and did not want my kittens in those clinics. When I was finally able to get them into the Cat Clinic of Orange County and into the care of Dr. Kelly, I knew they were in good loving hands. I would never take them any where else. The staff is equally amazing and patient. An added bonus, there are no dogs in this veterinary clinic which makes it much less stressful on the kits! Read Less

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PSYCHOTIC RECEPTIONIST! I was driving from Arizona to Santa Barbara and wanted to make a stop in Orange, and since I am traveling with a cat, requested to board her for a few hours. The receptionist said it was fine, and then got SO SNOTTY saying "HAVE YOU EVEN BEEN HERE BEFORE??!" in the nastiest tone I have ever been spoken to, and said she actually couldn't board her because she needs a medical exam and they were all booked up, even though I have all of the cat's paper work from her previous vet, and she has all of her shots updated. This cat is perfectly healthy and has all of her paperwork with her, and the bottom line is that this place of business refused a customer for no apparent reason, besides the receptionist's bad attitude. Word of advice to the receptionist from a business owner like myself: be accommodating to ALL potential customersRead Less
