This place is the Golden Goose of Cat Clinics. I can’t imagine anyone saying a single negative thing about this place. First off the staff that meets you right after you get over whole rustic charm of the office itself is so wonderful you’ll wish they could be at every place you visit. There’s a lovely sense of family and trust between the staff that just put you at ease from the first smile you see to the click of the door as you leave. The best part of all of this is the amazing and dedicated care your fur baby receives from this clinic. They took the time to not only accept my very sick little girls gruff attitude and stubbornness, but also find it endearing as I do and laugh with me at such very hard time. I’ve also never had a vet come out to speak and be so genuinely excited about the progress of my cat for such a quick and benign update. I wish I could give them so many more stars. I couldn’t from the bottom of my heart thank them so much for the dedication and care they have given my terminally ill little girl. Read Less

As a lover of cats, this place came highly recommended to me, but I have been left highly disappointed. I recently moved from out of state, and the previous tenants of my new home left their elderly cat. Since this cat was in rough shape, my girlfriend and I decided to give it a home with our other cats. We took him to All Cats where we not only experienced a horriblely long wait despite having an appointment, but bad service. They heavily pushed for over a thousand dollars of unnecessary dental work, and hundreds of dollars of excessive and highly priced treatment options. I explained my financial situation to them, as we are both young college students, trying to find the most affordable solution to care for this new and unexpected cat. Not only was there no consideration for my situation, I was blatantly ignored and even felt judged. Eventually, due to my insistence, I was able to come to an affordable and effective treatment option, with little help from them, and now have a perfectly happy healthy lap cat. Who, along with my other cats, I will no longer take here. Read Less

My household has been taking our 6 cats for over a decade to All Cats. The annual and acute care our cats have received has given us have happy cats with extra years on their lives. The staff and Dr. Gordon have been exceptionally compassionate with end of life care; tears in the office to thinking of you cards. We would never think of going anywhere else for the care and boarding of our cats. Read Less

This is a review I posted two years ago, which was subsequently removed (perhaps All Cats didn't like it)? Check out the Yelp reviews, which are detailed and helpful (and uniformly negative): I tried All Cats for a year because it is relatively close to my home and I wanted to patronize a local business. My mistake. All Cats is expensive, does not have work-friendly hours, and always runs behind. Expect routine visits to take 90 to 120 min. They're also not conducive to the use of 1800Petmeds, and they try to bilk you with unnecessary procedures. I'll describe the last straw. In the first visit, All Cats recommended that we start our indoor-only cats on Heartgard. It seemed unnecessary, but we followed their recommendation out of precaution. All Cats tested the cats for heartworm and found them all negative. After pushing us to buy the Heartgard from them--at a sizeable markup, of course--they agreed to approve prescriptions through 1800Petmeds. Nine months later, I tried to refill the prescription and All Cats refused to approve it unless we took our cats back for exams every six months. It's a transparent attempt to earn more exam fees. I'd recommend taking your pets to the veterinary school. Read Less

Dr. Gordon has been our vet since 1995. She helped us through some hard times with our elderly cats. We were "catless" for two years, but when were ready again there was no question where to take our new kittens. We even adopted one of her kittens. We totally trust her with our cats. Read Less

Dr. Patti Gordon is INCREDIBLE!! She has been taking care of my mom's cats for over 20 years and I recently just got my own sweet kitty from All Cats. My Sandy was very very sick, weak, and young when she was rescued by Dr. Gordon and her team after almost dying 3 times. I love my cat and I am immensely thankful for the All Cats staff. Read Less

This is the kind of pet clinic that cares more about money than pets. The vets will do unnecessary tests to jack up prices and don't seem capable of a quality diagnosis. I took my cat there and Dr. Gordon (after sucking $500 out of me) attempted to get me to spend another $1500 to send my cat elsewhere. She told me if I took my cat home he would probably die and I would have to bring him back so she could "cut his head off" to check for rabies. I took my cat home because if he was gonna die anyway, I wanted him to feel comfortable and loved, and he was fine after two weeks on antibiotics. Still alive and well. Read Less

Disclaimer: I am Dr. Gordon's daughter. I am not trying to hide that. I was also not asked to do this. I was on here for something else and it was bothering me that certain reviews for a dressmaker I was looking up were clearly skewing the rating, but if I hadn't even opened the business based on the number of stars, I wouldn't have seen that.I am simply on here to point out that the Yelp rating (as of July 2016) is based on 5 reviews...yet there are an additional 17 reviews that are flagged as "not recommended" and not counted in the rating. Interesting that the majority of those ones are glowing reviews, but have been hidden by Yelp based on their "automated software". If you count all 22 reviews (obviously excluding mine), that's a 3.8/5, not 2. 4 vs 2...that's almost a 200% increase.Advice: if you want your review counted, connect with a friend on Yelp or write a few more reviews. The automated system is meant to prevent people like me from biasing reviews (friends, relatives, etc who log in just to bump up ratings). Yelp is a business. The more interaction they get from you, the more money they make, so they try to force your hand by sifting out your reviews unless you write more of them or connect with a "friend". This sort of practice by Yelp, though I can see why, can also harm a small business (unless that business agrees to pay Yelp...nudge nudge wink wink).This will probably get me kicked off Yelp. ;) I'm a scientist. I do NOT like people messing with numbers (personally, I would weight the individual's rating by the number of reviews that person has written or something similar so that they aren't thrown out all together...getting rid of data points is bad practice...assigning a confidence measure is how you deal with uncertain data). You should see me when the media tries to report statistics. ;) Read Less

I'd like to be the one to refute the negative reviews on here. It's unfortunate that people are more likely to leave a negative review based on a bad experience than they are to leave a positive review based on a good experience. Honestly, the negative reviews on here sound ridiculous.First, Dr. Gordon and Dr. Molstead provide excellent healthcare and will take any necessary measures to ensure the best care is provided. For example, my cat was dealing with a severe and complicated eye infection and although Dr. Gordon is very knowledgeable about cats and has treated eye infections, she is not a feline ophthalmologist. However, she did consult with a feline ophthalmologist to ensure my cat received the best care possible. Second, since there are only two Dr's there do tend to be wait times. I've waited past my appointment time to have my cat seen but am willing to do so if that means she can get good care. Would you prefer that they rush through exams and procedures to keep every appointment on time at the expense of providing good care? I wouldn't. Third, I pay for quality and peace of mind. AC may be more expensive than some vet clinics, but those clinics also see other animals and probably have more Dr's, hence they bring in more business and maybe can charge less. AC only sees cats and specializes in feline healthcare. No other clinic in Gainesville does that. So if you want bargain basement prices then that's your prerogative and your cat may or may not suffer as a result, but I prefer to pay a little more for quality and to know my cat is getting good care. Lastly, in regards to add-on charges and performing rogue surgeries, every pet owner should be actively attentive to the charges based on services performed. Some services are recommended because the treatment, and cost thereof, are much less than treating the condition for which they're intended (heartworm meds). Personally I decline the heartworm meds because my cat never goes outside and has thick hair which would repel mosquitoes, but that's my choice. Nobody forces me to make that decision and nobody forces you to accept or decline a recommended service so don't blame the vet for your inability to make decisions on your own. Also, prior to ANY procedures i.e. dental cleaning or otherwise, every owner fills out a waiver form and signs it thereby authorizing or denying the vet the ability to perform said procedure. If you sign your name on the dotted line, don't complain when they do the work!The bottom line here is that Dr. Gordon, Dr. Molstead, and the staff at All Cats are sincere and provide great care. I trust them with my cat's health and believe they have her best interest in mind, and to me that outweighs any small inconveniences. Read Less

Had a terrible first experience with All Cats today. Took my cat in yesterday afternoon due to an animal attack over the weekend. She was too feisty to examine so I was given the option of taking her home for the night and sedating her and bringing her back this morning - or - they would keep her overnight and sedate her this morning for examination. At 3pm this afternoon, they still had not sedated or examined her - basically 1 day after taking her in, she still hadn't been examined. Had they told me yesterday that today was a "surgery day" and that my cat wouldn't even be seen until the late afternoon, I would NEVER have left her overnight. And - I could have spent today trying to find another vet who had time to look at her if they'd only told me they wouldn't have the time. Awful. Just awful. Read Less

Awesome staff, very knowledgeable and extremely friendly! You could tell they were working their butts off to keep everyone and their kitten's happy, comfortable and well taken care of. My roommate and I were also very happy to find out the cats in the lobby were up for adoption & ended up taking sweet little Simba home with us. Couldn't have been happier with my first visit! Read Less

I brought my newly adopted kitten here a few months ago. Not only did I receive a free first visit because I adopted but I was given the full run down on all the things I should do to keep her healthy. My kitten also had a respiratory infection in the shelter but appeared better at my visit, when she started to have the same symptoms again I called Dr. Gordon and she sent over a prescription for her without me having to come in and pay all over again! Now Penelope is happy and healthy! Read Less

My daughter and I spent the afternoon looking at different shelters in the area. After visiting All Cats we hadn't found our baby. As we were leaving they brought out 1 more cat. We fell in love at first site. We can't wait till Monday when we can bring him home. A great caring staff. I would highly recommend!! Read Less

I found All Cats several years ago when I was seeking a second opinion. One of my cats had gotten very sick and when I went to Banfield, they said about 500$ worth of tests was needed before they could even begin to diagnose and treat. It wasn't that I didn't want to spend 500, I simply didn't have it. They told me to go home and say my goodbyes, and to bring him back within a few days when his suffering would be growing worse. It felt like they wouldn't even try. I went home and after a day or so, took him to All Cats, where Patti Gordon, aware of my financial situation, said she could begin by treating symptoms to get him out of the woods, and see where we stood then. She promised to treat and test in terms of getting the most 'bang for my buck' in an attempt to save my cat's life. She also suggested Care Credit to me. Unfortunately, the delay caused by Banfield's 'death sentence' proved to be too much for my kitty, but I have never seen a Vet apologize so profusely for not being able to save an animal's life. She told me that she wouldn't have suggested treatment if she didn't think there was a chance to save him, but in the end, his body had just gotten too weak. That was a sad ending, but I knew I'd found the only Vet I'd ever take my cats to. She later saved another cat's life who had a rather rare disease by managing his symptoms until a diagnosis could be made, and that was a very happy ending. I have always had after hours phone calls returned in a timely manner, and while my cat was at his sickest, one tech even gave me her home phone number if I had a question, or emergency with my cat. In short, these people give a damn. Yes, it's a business, and yes it costs money, but it's not *just* about the money here. Just walk in the door and meet the 'shop cats.' The abandoned, or slightly broken, or medically needy cats that have been given a home when there was no other place, and you'll know these people care.Read Less

Where do I begin? Dr. Patti Gordon has been looking after my kitties for 20 years. I trust her completely. Not only is she an amazing vet she is also compassionate while providing the best care to my kitties and to me when times have been difficult with very sick kitties. She also extends herself to helping stray kitties and regularly takes in cats/kittens that need to find a home. I trust her completely and admire her knowledge, skill and as a person. Read Less

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at All Cats.  The technicians were very knowledgeable and Dr. Gordon took great care of my poor kitty while she was sick.  Everyone there was very nice and professional and the house cats running around were so sweet!  I could tell they really cared about my kitty and gave her the best care possible. I will never take my cats anywhere else! Read Less

Every time I had an appointment here I had to wait an average of 45 minutes past my scheduled time.  I returned back for about 2 years though because (I thought) they were familiar with my cat.  Since my cat was born he's had issues with his ears (always waxy from yeast) that occasionally bothers him so that I need to get drops (previous vet had tested for yeast and prescribed).  My last exam at All Cats was 2 months ago and his ears were not bothering him at the time (although wax present).  I called today to see about his ears bothering him recently and whether I could just get the drops or bring him in.  I was appalled though that they wanted to charge me a full exam fee (this kind of thing has happened to me here before - the vet "doesn't think" something is serious at the time of the exam but will charge you AGAIN when you want it checked out).  I even confirmed that the vet had noted "waxy ears" at the time of his exam but didn't think to test for yeast as my other vet had done.  I was fine bringing him in to get the yeast checked but I am NOT fine paying another exam fee due to their negligence the first 4 or so times he's been there.  The quality of service isn't even spectacular and they'll try to charge you tons for it.

I would prefer no stars. Do not take your cat here. Patti Gordan is unable to deal with the amount of patients she takes in, and does not provide quality care.I brought my cat in for lethargy and vomiting. She took it upon herself to do "exploratory surgery" without consulting me. I simply received a call from a tech that my cat had come through surgery just fine.My friend dropped her cat off for a routine exam and dental cleaning. When her husband picked him up later that day, he was sans 4 teeth. No consultation there either.Definitely a shoddy practice, and I believe her negligence aided in my 2 year old cat's death a few months after the surgery. Read Less

All cats and no vets!! We've brought our cat here four times now, and have yet to see even one of the veterinarians. We are always helped by the technicians and assistants, which would be fine, except they typically seem to know little to nothing about what they're talking about. We once brought our cat in after finding blood in her urine. They had us leave her for the day so they could get urine and take some x-rays. After finding nothing, they brushed it off as a 'behavioral issue' and sent us home. I wish I was kidding, but I couldn't even make this crap up.Not to mention they have several housecats wandering around. This would be awesome, except when you're bringing in an already stressed out cat... which is always. We will definitely be looking elsewhere. Read Less

If you are interested in having your cat treated by the best, this is the place for you and your cat. Patti and her staff take personal interest in all of their patients and their owners. After having my cats cared for at their clinic I wouldn't think of going anywhere else in Gainesville for caring cat care! The clinic is well staffed and cats are treated gently with loving hands. Since leaving Gainesville I have not found a clinic that compares. Cats and owners are always greeted with quickly with little fuss; the staff is very efficient, the clinic clean and charming. I am surprised that the neighborhood cats don't beat a path to their door! Mine would have had I let them out! Read Less
