I went there out of desperation and it was on a Sat and the women must have been filling in she was not knowledgeable and no compassion. I brought a sick stray kitty in and she told me he had to be put down or a 2000 dollar blood transfusion. I could tell the kitty was dying and it broke my heart but didn't have the money at the time to save him. Being such a huge animal lover it totally broke my heart. They promised me a footprint stone for the kitty and I never got it. SCAM, SCAM, SCAM. If you want a really great vet I found Hollyberry animal hospital on Alpharetta Highway right off of Mansell Road. I absolutely love them and they are fair and honest.STAY AWAY FROM THE CAT CLINIC!!

I discovered Dr Ray approx 10 years ago while working with adoptions at Good Mews. At the time I was having some issues with my own cat-only vet (kitty had been sick and didn't know why), so made a switch to Dr Ray. He discovered little man had kidney disease (he was super young for that - eek!) He has worked with us ever since and little man is thriving! During that time we have lived in Buckhead, Grant Park, and now Johns Creek and the drive has always been worth it - I would prob drive from out of state for Dr Ray! Dr Ray spends as much time as I need with him to answer any questions, discuss issues, etc. He has been a partner and an advisor for the care of my kitty, and I trust him carte blanche (I can't say that about any other healthcare provider in my life...) I now have two more additions to the family and they will be Dr Ray lifers also. I've seen reviews about price and I can't speak for market relevancy, but I will say that I don't go to the vet just for shots - I go for EXPERTISE, care, intent, and service. I want my cats in the best possible hands they can be in - if that costs more than other vets, then so be it. It's worth every penny to me (although I do hope that one day I get an exam room named after me....) If I could give more stars I would...#drray2020 Read Less

First visit to the cat clinic today after a bad experience at our own vet a year ago. We could not be more happy with the service; the staff was attentive and very pleasant! The Vet took a lot of care in examining our cat and the groomer did a beautiful job and was very gentle. Totally different experience!  Will be taking this kitty and all future cats to the Cat Clinic and nowhere else! Bonus... there are no barking dogs!  look forward to future visits & will tell all family & friends to go to the Cat Clinic! Read Less

We have two cats and brought both of them up here separately. Dr Ray is absolutely amazing! The whole experience felt as though they were trying to meet my cat on his terms as best as possible, instead of just man-handling him and getting us in and out as quickly as possible. During the visit the wealth of knowledge shared is more than enough alone for the visit, add to that the friendly demeanor and the patience from the staff in handling my cat! The Cat Clinic of Roswell has earned themselves a lifetime loyal customer/patient! I would recommend nobody else! Read Less

Dr Ray is the best and the whole staff is a pleasure. I have had nothing but positive experiences at the cat clinic and know that my kitties are in great hands. I have a good vet across the street from me but I drive out of my way to go to the Cat Clinic. Read Less

This place was wonderful! They really tried to make my cat feel as comfortable as possible. The vet even let her explore the exam room while he had a thorough conversation with me about her behavior and symptoms. I really felt like the staff cared about my cat and not just making money. The doctor took the time to explain everything he was doing and seeing. I didn't feel shamed for being a "bad owner," and I left with a lot more information than I had to begin with. This will definitely be my cat's regular doctor from now on! Read Less

Dr. Ray is amazing. I had an issue with my cats eye that I wasn't sure of and he sat me down and helped me figure out everything. He really went into great detail just so I would get the full understanding of what was going on with my cat. After he left the staff came in the do the tests and they asked if I wanted to know how much it would be and asked if I still wanted to continue on with the procedure. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I believe both my cat and I were super happy walking out of this place. Overall I would totally come back to this place it's about a 40 minute drive for me but I have never felt so comfortable at a vet! Read Less

Dr. Ray has been working with our senior cat for 3 years now. He and his team have been second to none! He diagnosed GI cancer in our cat, Charlie, that two other vets failed to see. He treats the cause, not just the symptoms. We now drive over 50 miles for our cat care, because we know Dr. Ray is knowledgeable, fair priced, and treats both our cats with utmost care! The best cat doctor we have been to! Read Less

Dr. Ray is an amazing veterinarian who truly cares about cats (and their people). We've been taking one of our kitties there for a few years (he's a senior kitty with a few heath problems) and very recently we lost our other kitty. It was heartbreaking and I know the staff at CCR did everything they could to save him and keep him happy and comfortable, but even if we had known weeks earlier what was wrong (before he showed symptoms) I think we only could have given him a little extra time. I would absolutely recommend this practice if you want expert care for your kitties, especially senior cats who need extra care. As others have pointed out, it's not the least expensive place to get cats treated, but the level of quality is worth it, in my opinion. I know that my cats are in the best hands when they're with Dr. Ray. Read Less

Took my cat here for observation for 4 hours until he could go back to the Urgent Care facility I had to take him to late at night. Paid $250. Cat had an Elizabethan cone on when I brought him in due to having a urinary catheter in. When they bring my cat out (after I paid) cone is off and the nurse informs me the cat ripped out the catheter. All the staff had to do was take the cone off to feed him and then put the cone back on. Now going to be forced to pay another $300+ To have first facility put another catheter in. Complete incompetence that doesn't cost them a dime, cut costs me hundreds of dollars. Will not be bringing my cat here again. Read Less

Dr Ray is great! I would recommend him to any cat owner. His knowledge of cats and their behavior is second to none. He will always follow up with any concerns you might have. His commitment to his patients and their families is excellent. Read Less

Three years ago I took my cat in to monitor her failing kidneys. We had just moved from another state where her tests and treatment costs totaled around $70, so when the vet said she wanted to run blood tests, I said okay. I went to check out and was told my visit came to $375. Have not been back. Read Less

Vet accidentally killed our cat by putting her under anesthesia (without my permission) on a full stomach...something ALL doctors know not to do with ANY animal, including humans. He knew she had eaten recently, both because I told him and because he gave her food himself to see if she would eat. So, after getting their "oops" call, I rushed back to the clinic and he told me about it as if it's normal. To add insult to injury, he later sent a bill for $700+ and then waited 5 years to send it to an attorney (who increased the amt. to about $1100) to ruin my credit for non-payment. Read Less

Anyone who's ever had surgery done on a pet or themselves knows that you do not put someone under general anesthesia if they've just eaten. I didn't even take my cat in for surgery; I took her to the Cat Clinic for a 2nd opinion. When the vet asked about her eating, I told him she was eating very well, and had eaten breakfast just a couple of hours before we arrived. He wanted to see her eat,so brought in a can and she ate the whole thing. He said he wanted to run some tests and asked me to leave her. A few hours later, the clinic called to say she was dead. The vet explained that he had put her under, and she choked to death on her vomit. I was distraught, but she was dead and nothing I could do would bring her back, so I decided to move on. Imagine my surprise when I got a bill for over $800 a couple of weeks later! Assuming it was an error, I called and told them. They said they'd look into it. I didn't get another bill. It has now been 5 years and recently it has appeared on my credit report as a $1200 bill that is now in collection!! He and his clinic have now moved beyond incompetence into sadistically cruel business practices. Read Less

Dr. Ray and his staff are the best of the best. They really care!!! Their exam rooms are awesome, and my cats look forward to going there. Dr. Ray knows what they like and how to handle them. My oldest cat has a chronic condition that they keep in check always with her best interest and quality of life. If you need a Vet for your kitties there is no Place like the Cat Clinic of Roswell , by the way cats only , although I Love dogs, it's all about the Kitties and their people. Read Less

BRACE YOURSELF FOR SOME SERIOUS STICKER SHOCK.I wish I had read the other reviews before bringing my cat to Dr. Ray. NIce guy, but manipulative business practices. I will never bring kitty here again.As the other reviews state, Dr. Ray does procedures on your cat without first telling you how much they'll cost. And if you're like me and have been going to regularly-priced vets in the past, you'll be shocked and amazed when you get to the checkout counter. This place is NOT for those with tight budgets or heart conditions. I saw my bill and nearly passed out.I paid nearly $400 for a cat with a skin allergy. One antibiotic shot, one steroid shot, and brief sedation while he did the exam because my normally super-mellow cat was freaking out due to all the cat pheromones in this office.For comparison, my friend received the same services at her vet in Chamblee for $99.No, cost is not everything. Yes, it's important to me that my cat receive quality care. However, it is disrespectful not to warn clients of extraordinarily expensive procedures or to offer other options. I would have been happy to give my cat pills if it meant not blowing half my Christmas fund on two shots.I have never felt so ripped off. There are other lovely vets in the area who will take great care of your beloved pets. Do your wallet a favor and go to them instead. Read Less

We've been a customer of the Cat Clinic since 2004. Especially since Dr. Ray became the Director, our 14 year old Calico has been getting the best of care. With high blood pressure and a thyroid problem, Dr. Ray has been very attentive to the issues and has proactively treated our cat. A pet is a part of your family and you should not trust that pet to someone who doesn't care. They do! Very much! Read Less

Finding the right doctor for our fur babies is just as important as it is in our human arena.  Nestled in the quaintness of downtown Roswell, The Cat Clinic Of Roswell, welcomes you with their 'home style" environment and famous Georgia hospitality,You won't find stark medicinal waiting rooms, but a lovely home attuned to the needs of felines- always warm and cozy, house cats coming in to visit and say hello!  The staff is amazing~ everyone is friendly, kind and knowledgeable.  The doctors take the time to pet and hang out  with your fur baby for a while, instilling confidence, security and love. Their love of felines shines through and in the end,makes taking your fur baby to the doctor a very pleasant experience.  One of the only clinics that have the equipment to take blood pressure, this feature alone should send you running to their office.  If you know anything about felines, you know blood pressure is a tremendous factor in good health and longevity, and if you didn't know that, NO problem, they will sit and explain it  to you,   I have 3 kitties and each one is treated with respect and loving care. I like that your babies photo is attached to their files. That you receive postcards with your fur babies pictures reminding you of annual exams or upcoming appointments.  The clinic offers a variety of care from traditional to holistic and everything in between- I like the fact you have choices. Medications,  Rx, food, toys, all on premisses makes it a one stop visit which I find very helpful. If you are looking for experienced, loving , caring  -Board certified doctors, this is the place to go. They will work with you if you have pet insurance or special financial needs.. It;s not a mill, high volume setting- get them in- get them out and that is priceless!In ending, like the old tv show "Cheers" Cat Clinic of Roswell is a place you and your pet goes where everyone knows your name and everyone is glad you came- Excellent service in every way.  Highly recommend. When I rescued Mr. Bigglesworth from California, Dr. Ray and the staff watched my posts and cheered him on and saw him the first day he arrived and treated him with such extra special care-  They are the best!!!

We love Cat Clinic of Roswell! We've been coming here since we moved to the area in 2012. We have a Sphynx and wanted to make sure we took him to a vet specializing in feline care. (They actually have a Sphynx who lives at the clinic!) The building is located in the heart of historic downtown Roswell. It looks like a charming little cottage and the interior is loaded down with everything cat themed. I always get the feeling that staff genuinely cares about our sweet little man. We've taken him in for a multitude of appointments; yearly exams, an emergency visit, and a dental cleaning. He had to stay in the kitty hospital last summer for a few days. We were encouraged to come visit him each day - even when the clinic itself was closed.  Dr. Ray was very patient in explaining all of our options and answering every question we had. When we come in for visits Heyward gets a little...well, tense. The staff still treats him with love and care. I especially appreciate that we receive follow-up calls the next day after each appointment. I think we're extremely lucky to have such a great place to take our cat! Read Less

I took over the Cat Clinic of Roswell in March 2008. This review is reflective of before that timeframe. We now have a full service feline hospital and a very attentive customer-service oriented practice. Come visit us or check out our website at catclinicofroswell.com Michael Ray, DVM Read Less

Atmosphere: excellent - more like bringing your cat to someone's home than a vet clinic.Staff - friendly,  kind, asked a lot of questions. Overall- I will never, ever go back. The vet suggested a couple of tests, never alerting me to their cost, and then I was *stunned* when I checked out and was cheerfully told, "That will be $364." One test was nearly $200! I had taken my cat into another vet in another state  for similar symptoms in the past and had never been charged more than $70. Same diagnosis (kidneys failing), entirely different bill. I felt gouged. I mentioned it to a friend today and she nodded, saying she had heard the same thing. Read Less

I really regret giving the cat clinic my business.  Although they are know what they are doing and the environment there is nice they gouge you for money and use lame tactics to try and make you return there.  When I asked them to transfer a prescription to a new vet they basically refused and when I asked for my cat's records they told me , "that IF they decide to release them to me (the pet's sole and only owner)"  I would have to pay to get them faxed or even pick them up.  And on top of that my elderly cat was feral when I adopted him and any trip to the vet is super traumatic.  He is in kidney failure.  His condition isn't changing. This wasn't a conversation where I could have misunderstood their position.  It is many back and forths with numerous people there, over many months and after they check with Dr. Ray, who is the managing vet.  Penny at the front desk is really nice though.  Otherwise they are pretty mercenary and the wellbeing of the pets seem to be secondary.  Overall it has made managing my cat's health more difficult rather than facilitating it.

I took my injured kitten in and the whole staff was so sweet! They got us in very quickly and took great care of her.   Dr. Ray was awesome and spent a good amount of time and didn't rush anything like most doctors.  I wish I could find a vet like this for my dogs! Read Less

My Turkish Angora was precious to us as well as CFA certifed valuable specimen of his breed. All white with deep blue eyes, he astonished anyone who saw him. At 5 years old (2005) I have moved his records from Sandy Springs Animal Hospital to Dr. Merck on recomendation that such a fine feline would only be served right by the best vet available. I now understand that she left after our 1st year there. In the (5) years that he has been taken care of by CCR, I saw the status change from caring for Cats to $$ signs in the eyes. Every visit cost me $200+, which was not the issue as long as my beloved Snowy got the best care. Our last visit was end of June, 2010. He was given a perfect bill of health. All vax's were up to date. They even gave him a lion-cut with grooming. His paws, nose and ears were pinky pink, his eyes were deep blue. I trusted CCR with all my heart. On July 5, 2010 Snowflake had a hearth attack. He was immediately moved to Dekalb Emergency Clinic, at which Dr. Davis managed to save him. He was diagonsed with a long coming heart condition, which he had for years. Should he have been diagones on time and properly. He would not have had this attack. His condition left him with 50% dead heart muscle and two hind legs paralyzed. At this time, I moved him to my good friend and caretaker of my two Cavalier King Charles'es Dr. Clay Allan of Cherishire Bridge Animal Clinic. We have researched all options including, amputation of the two hind legs. But, the Congestive Heart Failure (of half dead heart muscle) had taken over his health. My Snowy, slowly lost all pink and became all white. His hind legs started developing cangrene. As he could no longer move but, was on diuretics, we had to constantly clean him, hand feed him and care for him. Which, I definately did not mind. I dropped every activity and my architectural work to care for him. But, in (5) days time he became very sad, turning his head always, and moaning with pain. Dr. Allan felt, only humane thing to do was to left him die in peace. I am so sad, and so angry. He gave me 10+ years of his life only to die of missed diagnosys. If he was human, CCR would face liability. Now, they will keep giving bad services with nothing but $$$ signs in their eyes. My Snowy died July 12, 2010. Less than 30 days after, he was given full clean bill of health (except some tooth cleaning) by these un-humane doctors. AVOID AT ALL COST. If you love or care for your cat. They will kill him. Learn from my mistake... Read Less

The current owner has been there for a couple of years now. Everyone there is very cat oriented and are great to deal with. Our cats have never been in better hands. When on vacation we drop the cats off and get them groomed and their teeth cleaned. The preventive care is excellent. Read Less

have been going to Cat Clinic for 5+ years and seen it deteriorate first hand, when Dr. Pruett finally left. ALL the techs and vets are new, because none of the old techs liked the new vet/staff (I?ve been told so personally BY the techs themselves.) But this was the final straw: My cat was suddenly ill and I scheduled an appointment with the Cat Clinic immediately. Upon arriving, the technician was rude. When seen by the vet, I was told my cat had an abdominal blockage and he was taken away to be stabilized + have surgery. Later that day, they called to tell me they were mistaken and had no idea what was causing the problem. By 4pm, they still had no diagnosis and suggested I take him to an emergency vet for after hours care. When I picked him up, he was almost unconscious, MUCH worse than when I left him. The emergency vet saw him and told us that all the bloodwork, measured levels and other info that the Cat Clinic had taken was incorrect and needed to be re-done. The GA Vet specialists quickly were able to diagnose his problem as being a blocked bladder due from a Urinary tract infection and had burst at some point earlier in the day (which happened in the Cat Clinic?s care) Unfortunately by this time, my cat had passed away. Both the Vet specialists and another vet who I consulted with told me that a blocked bladder could have been diagnosed quickly by a competent vet and my cat should have been able to be saved by prompt surgery.
