Absolutely the best cat-only clinic I have ever been to. Thorough, helpful, and wonderful with my kitties. They diagnosed a chronic illness in a cat that I had tried to adopt, so I had to (regretfully) return it to his prior owner. Read Less

Thank you for all your help! I rescued a cat that was in your care in his “former life”. He had a hard time adjusting and wouldn’t eat. Thanks to your care “Eddy” now Oliver is doing well on his new home. We love him !! Read Less

I have been taking my kitty here for less than a year but, she is quite sick so we have been quite a few times. We are always met with a smile and appointments are usually right on time if not a little earlier than expected. The exams and treatment are thorough with the utmost care taken when handling my furry friend. If meds or any extra advise is needed between visits they are very accommodating. I had idea who to go to when I moved here but, I am very happy I chose Arlington Heights Cat Clinic! Read Less

I have been bringing my cats here for years. Dr. Gloria is phenomenal, as is the reception and tech staff! I moved about 45 minutes away and still haul my cats here because I know they are in the best hands. Read Less

I’ve been bringing my furbabies here since 1996. In January 2014 our beloved Monty was diagnosed with diabetes. In the almost 4 years since until we had to send him Home yesterday, he was a very frequent visitor to ACC and without exception every doctor, tech and admin who grew to know him and his myriad health issues, treated him with kindness and compassion. Extra thanks to Dr Gloria & Dr Furmann who handled so many of Monty’s health issues and to Dr Linda for gently and compassionately guiding him home to Heaven yesterday. Read Less

I have been coming here for 16 years and I have only high praise for the doctors and staff! They know their stuff and never overcharge you for unnecessary things. Dr. Gloria has helped us through some very difficult times and she really treats us like family Read Less

We have been going to Arlington Cat Clinic for over 25 years, and love Dr. Gloria and Dr. Bob. They, and the other doctors on staff, have given our many cats over the years excellent medical care, given us great advice and guidance, and have been sympathetic to the hard times as well. I just dealt with their new vet, Dr. Maggie, and she's wonderful and very knowledgeable. We're happy to have a veterinary office we have trusted to deal with all of our cat health issues with compassion and expertise. Read Less

Arlington Cat Clinic is full of some of the kindest, most compassionate people out there. Not only are they efficient, fast and thorough but they make you feel at home there. I went through having a cat with diabetes for four years and the sad time when it was time to let go. They were supportive and kind through it all. I would recommend them to anyone. Read Less

Arlington Cat Clinic is the friendliest place I have been to. They also treated us with respect when we lost our cat of 17 years. We were not rushed or felt like we were in the way once he was put to sleep. They told us to stay as long as we needed too. We love Dr. Gloria, although they are all good, Mocha took a liking to her. We recently brought our new kitty there and received the same outstanding, caring service. ... I would highly recommend this practice. See More Read Less

I have been bringing my cats here for 4 years. I can't ask for a better Vet than Dr. Gloria and the Reception Staff as well as the Techs have always been very helpful, knowledgeable and kind! I highly recommend Arlington Cat Clinic! Read Less

I have had three cats. My first cat was a patient for 19 years! The staff is freindly and very welcoming and caring. The Doctors are very knowledgeable and treat your cat as if it were there own. When my cats have had surgeries or any health concerns and the cat has to stay for awhile the Doctor's are very communicative and you are called very promptly with complete details. It is an all cat clinic...a big plus for the kitties. Finally, I grew up beside a girl who became a veterinarian and did very well as a vet and as a professor. These Doctor's fit the mold. I feel confident when my cat is in their care. Read Less

If you want the best medical care for your cat In a friendly atmosphere, Arlington Cat Clinic is where you need to go.  The staff is friendly and helpful.  Their willingness to answer questions and explain is unparalleled.  If only human doctors would be as considerate!The Drs. Esbensens have been my cats' doctors for 20+ years.  Whether helping and guiding with cats who were elderly and sick or when adopting two kittens (who are now a robust 9 years old) and answering a myriad of questions on their care, the doctors and staff have always been conscientious and compassionate.

I have been taking my cats to Arlington Cat Clinic since their inception and as far as I'm concerned there is no other clinic I would consider. I love them all. Everyone from the time you walk in the door until you walk out the door is the best. I have total confidence in my cats' diagnosis and treatment. Read Less

We recently adopted a kitten from a shelter who had a few different ailments and is much smaller for her estimated age than she should be, due to what I suspected and Dr. Fuhrman confirmed was most likely a malnourished upbringing since she was born to a feral cat. Anyway, I felt Dr. Fuhrman and the nurse Carrie were very kind, patient, and considerate to my kitten and I. There were many questions I had, especially not having owned a cat that young before, and I felt like Dr. Fuhrman really took her time listening to me and addressing all of my concerns with detailed responses. One thing that can be quite common with shelter-born kittens, as I learned, is that they often just test only one kitten from the litter for feline leukemia/FIV, and I found out only the brother in the litter was tested after a quick call to the shelter, even though they said with this method the chances of a littermate testing positive was only 5%. It was low, but I was still worried, as my kitten had seemed to be a bit under the weather. However, Dr. Fuhrman let me take my time to think about whether or not I wanted to pay extra for the blood work to see how she tested. At the end of the day, I was glad I made the decision to get her tested (she was negative, thankfully!) and appreciated Dr. Fuhrman's gentleness and patience while I thought about what to do. She sent us home with a few medications, and although the price added up with this, the quality of service speaks for itself. I don't mind paying for what needs to be paid for in order to make my kitten grow into a healthier cat, and I didn't feel ripped off in the slightest like I have at vets in the past. From the zero dogs and friendly cat people in the waiting room, to the wonderful staff, we really felt comfortable and welcomed here. We will continue to go back for annual check-ups! Read Less

Arlington Cat Clinic is wonderful!!! The staff is outstanding Each and every single one of them is caring and compassionate. That goes for Leon as well! We have taken all of our cats there for years, and we always know we can trust they will do what is best for each cat. Read Less

It's only been 3 days since our visit and I didn't want to forget to give this clinic the positive comment it deserves from us. The treatment for my buddy Oliver has gone very well so far. It has been night and day every morning after following the doctors instructions. I still have 1.5 weeks left of treatment but I'm 100% confident in it at this point as most signs of infection and swelling are gone after 3 days. When I realized my cat needed some attention a few days ago I spent a few hours looking up vets. I cross referenced reviews asked about pricing and then came across this one. My mom used to take our cats to a place that primarily focused on cats when I was younger. I'm 100% satisfied with everything. The environment, the staff who were very knowledgeable including reception. This is Oliver's new vet. He will be back, I'm not taking him anywhere else. Overall, I'm glad I found this place! Highly recommended, if you live in the area or you are looking for a trust worthy place to receive treatment for your Feline. I did the research for you. Try this place!Read Less

I really like coming to Arlington Cat Clinic since my two tabbies became patients in June. I met with Dr. Fuhrman for their new patient check-up. She is very kind and in-tune with cat behavior and personality. I also met with Dr. M for an emergency care visit that turned into a surgery for my cat Lucia. Dr. M was extremely patient and provided detailed explanations of what was going on with Lucia. She also provided me clear options for her care. I met with Dr. Furhman for Lucia's discharge appointment and had the same experience - received clear instructions for her care. All visits have been pleasant. The staff and nurses are all very kind and adore their clients it seems as much as the owners do. The front desk experience has been overall good; my one complaint is some confusion I had when I arrived with my husband for Lucia's discharge appointment. We were not acknowledged when we arrived and after a few minutes were simply shuffled into a room. I know I was at the clinic just the day before but it would have been nice to be greeted and told we would be taken care of. That's my only complaint. I loved going to a cat clinic near my previous home in Chicago and am thrilled to go to see these cat specialists near my current home. Read Less

The staff here is very friendly and easy to get along with. Their prices are comparable to all others vets in the area, and this location has the included benefit of being cats only. This is good for our older cat, who is stressed out enough being outside of the home and does not need to be afraid of larger pets. Leon is also worth following on social media! Read Less

I have been using this clinic for almost 20 years.  In addition to great care for my cats, I have also adopted two wonderful cats from them!  The staff is very helpful and friendly and the doctors are knowable. I would highly recommend them for your cat's medical needs. Read Less

Several of my kitties have been patients. They always get the best treatment, little waiting time and prompt responses to phone calls. The staff genuinely seems to love what they do, and are friendly to the humans owned by the cats as well. Love this practice. Read Less

The kindest, most helpful people in the world.  I highly recommend this clinic for your cats.  We had a situation with an abandoned, endangered cat yesterday.  After being turned down by numerous shelters and an uncaring police department, we discovered the clinic.  They were getting close to closing, but still made immediate efforts to contact rescue people who within 15 minutes called back and  said they could help.  The gals at the clinic called us immediately and we were able to get the cat there...to safety.  They were the extra mile and I would highly recommend these wonderful caring people.

The best veterinary care I've witnessed in my lifetime. I enjoy how they specialize in cats only. The staff at the desk are always friendly and helpful. The doctors are very intelligent and give good advice on top of their normal doctor roll. Also, the doctors are cost-effective in that they don't try to run unnecessary tests to inflate your bill.

I've only been here a few times for cat rescue related purposes, but I always had a pleasant experience with them. The front desk staff are always so nice and it puts a cat owner's mind at ease knowing the doctors are so knowledgeable about cats. The exam rooms are smaller, although they don't need much room to examine a kitty on a table. I would recommend this place to anyone with a sick kitty. Read Less

Took our older cat here, as his vet was "too busy." From start to finish - which unfortunately was have him put down - all of the staff and vets were understanding and caring, explained everything in detail and gave us the time we needed to say goodbye. We never felt rushed and we felt just as important as their usual patients. Later we got a sympathy card from the staff. Couldn't have asked for a better ending for our beloved kitty. Read Less

We had our first visit here today. It was really good. Friendly staff. Dr. Gloria was so kind and caring with our cat Fudge that it made her and her mommies calmer. It was a very positive experience. Now just hope her labs come back good. Thanks so much for your caring of our kitty kids. Read Less

I took my senior cat here for a number of things: vet appt, blood testing, boarding, medication, and sadly, in the end, euthanasia. I found the front staff and vets to be incredibly kind and compassionate. When the time came, they spent so much time with me, talked to me, explained everything in detail (I asked) and let me be there for his last moments. He was comfortable, relaxed, and snuggled in my arms as he drifted off. They also let me spend time with him after he was gone and all details, paperwork, payment was done before so I could leave when it was over. Two days later I received a condolence card with handwritten notes from the Dr and staff.  This is a practice that cares deeply about their cat patients and are pretty wonderful to the humans that love them too. RIP Jazz ;*{ Read Less

I would NOT recommend Arlington Cat Clinic!  I just had a horrible experience there with Dr. Fuhrman. I would recommend Dr. Bob and the staff.  The staff are very kind and courteous, but BEWARE of Dr. Fuhrman and unnecessary tests and racking up charges for unnecessary services. She is not good at complicated diagnosis and I had to demand a different doctor - I then got Dr. Bob to see my cat who diagnosed him very quickly and referred me to a specialty clinic for treatment.

Our cat "Pearl" was losing weight, after going to the Cat Clinic, doctors said it was her Thyroid. After 2 months of recommended food, Pearl is back up to the weight she should be, and my wife and I couldn't be happier.Read Less

My cat is a handful at the vet, to say the least. The amazing staff at Arlington Cat Clinic put our cat at ease, and us too!!! Going to the vet was a nightmare before, but now I can't wait to go back. I have never had a better vet experience!!!! It's nice to find a vet that cares about your family like it's own, I can't thank them enough. Read Less

I just want to praise everyone who works there of their love and compassion they have for all the kitties and their humans. You are the best even in the hardest times ( Like when I had to put my love Smokey down yesterday 9-16-2014) I'm grateful for all you do !!!! Read Less

I absolutely love this place. The front desk is fantastic and always friendly. Dr. Gloria is such a kind, caring, funny veterinarian. Her husband is very nice as well. I treat my cats as my children and I love seeing them being handled with care. My last vet hospital was rough with my kitten and petrified her of vets but here the vet techs and doctors are very careful and gentle. The first visit I had with them was in November and they were able to squeeze me in on an emergency visit and I've been coming back here since. All information has been transferred over with one cat so now I just need to get all the information from my second and this will be my primary choice. I highly recommend this place. Read Less

I'm a cat person in more ways than one. Not only do I love cats, but I consider myself to be a very cat-like person. I like to be left alone but you'll hear from me when I want something, and if someone makes me mad, well, let's just say I'm not above peeing in some remote corner of their home.When I look at cats, I see myself. I see my friends, I see my family, I see all my favorite characters. To me, they're not people - they're better.  I happen to be lucky enough to share a living space with a few of my favorite feline friends and unfortunately, despite my best efforts, I can't always keep them safe. Sometimes they get sick and it's beyond my control. One of my guys in particular seems to be the beast version of the boy in the bubble and recently, after just getting through one surgery, my little Homer came down with yet another sickness. Losing a sizable percentage of his body weight in a month and having some pretty gnarly tummy troubles, it became clear he needed some fairly immediate medical attention. I wanted a vet that specialized in cats because so often the preferred pet is dogs. I have nothing against dogs, of course, but if I can give my guys specialized expert care at a place that caters to their kind, it's preferable.This vet isn't open on Sundays, when I initially called and left a detailed message, but they did follow up with me first thing Monday morning. No joke, their 8:23am call, beat my alarm. They had a few appointments open that day or even the next, and were pretty great about working with my schedule. They asked me to arrive 15 minutes before my appointment to fill out paperwork, to call my previous vet and have them fax Homer's files over, and to collect a stool sample to bring in. The first two parts were easy, peasy. The 3rd one... not s'much. When I first arrived I didn't feel very welcome by the front desk staff, but I think I just came in at the single second lull between two very busy times as the reception area quickly filled up with patients who had already been seen by the doctors. Once I filled out my first bit of paperwork it was all warm smiles and smooth sailing. The office has the sterility of any doctor's office, but the warmth and coziness of grandma's house. Kitschy cat pics and puzzles with some of the raddest cat-themed quilts decorating the walls... and I later found out that the quilts are made by the Dr we saw, Dr. Gloria Esbensen.So, we were lucky enough to see Dr Gloria and she was kind, compassionate, and gentle with my beloved boy. She poured over his files, and the questionnaire I'd filled out and even hung with me while I dug up a deleted voicemail from a previous vet that had some pertinent test information on it. I think she spent more time with Homer and I than I've even spent with a doctor for just myself, and gave straightforward answers while also being able to ballpark what different tests, procedures, and surgeries might run my wallet. The news for poor Homie wasn't great, but Dr GE hooked us up with a nearby office so he can get an ultrasound and we can hear directly from a radiologist, while still under her care. As we were leaving, we got to take a complimentary bag of Homer's favorite treats (Temptations) to keep him in good spirits and the front staff was much friendlier, even directing me to Leon's (the office security cat) whereabouts, since I was interested in meeting him. As we went to pay the bill for our initial visit, I was expecting it to be a hefty sum, but was pleasantly surprised that my hour-long time with the doc and her expertise only came out to $65. I'm glad that I've got a specialist nearby just in case my guys need some professional TLC ASAP. And fingers crossed for my boy, Homie, of course. Read Less

I moved close by this cat clinic five years ago, and took my cat here for all her veterinary medicine needs until she had to be put to sleep due to cancer.  The vets were skilled at handling all of her medical issues (UTIs, kidney disease, dental cleanings/extractions, allergies, etc.) and were always very nice and helpful, and their prices are very reasonable.  The vets and the staff go out of their way to make sure you understand what is going on and that your cat is doing well.  Even after I moved further away, I continued to take my cat here.  When it did come time to euthanize my cat, they were so understanding and compassionate, and that it really helped my husband and I get through a difficult time.  I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I've been coming here since 1996 and have brought all 4 cats I have had during that time.  Two had to be taken for euthanization (7 years apart) and the staff could not have been more kind or compassionate during those terribly difficult and painful ordeals.   Not only are they extremely kind to their animal patients, but also to the animal PARENTS; when I lost my 14-year orange tabby, who was, essentially, my entire Heart and Soul, they let me come in the office any time I needed to, to cuddle with the Office Security Cat (Leon), who is also a big cuddly orange tabby.  Simply put, the people who work here LOVE CATS.  From the married vets who opened/manage the clinic, to the 3+ staff members it sometimes takes to hold my big Chunky Monkey down when he comes in for his yearly shots  :)    They recently went above and beyond in caring for a rescue kitten who was brought in with no use of his back paws; they paid for his PT and he is now running and jumping almost like a normal kitten; they also found him the perfect forever home.Staff is VERY accommodating.  And Very kitty-friendly  :)   You can rest assured that your cats are in good hands if you bring them here.

I took my bundle of fur here for an emergency visit. He was having some strange unidentifiable issue with his jaw and the animal hospital was great about it. They fit me in that morning to take care of Lumpy!The staff was super friendly and helpful during my visit. I had to wait quite some time after my appointment time but due to my circumstances and being squeezed in, I was totally okay with that. At the end, my poor little critter was so scared he was shedding like a beast which he usually doesn't do and they gave me a lint roller to clean myself off. Much appreciated it. The doctor and entire team at Arlington Cat Clinic was so thorough and professional with me through my whole visit. I was really happy with my experience here and will be taking little ol' Lumps back! Read Less

I have mixed feeling's but overall I was not pleased with my experience. I used to work in a vet's office and have volunteered at shelters so I understand how to handle animals, however I understand that I am not a veterinarian. I just moved so rather than driving back to my old vet I checked yelp to find a new one. While it wasn't as horrific as the 1 star reviews I did not feel the love of the 5 stars ones. Pro:-The Dr was very through with the exam and asked me a lot of questions about my cat's medical history. -It's cats only, but there is a office that roams freely. I like that he was there, my cat did not. -Prices were fair.Cons:-The Dr was rougher with my cat than necessary. It started when she took his temp and had to do it twice because the machine did not beep the 1st time and she had to retake it. When I asked if she was able to get a reading at all, she said it had worked the 1st time making the 2nd attempt unnecessary, but my cat all the more uncomfortable. -Normally, my cat sits on the exam table and I loosely have my arms around him to keep him calm and so he doesn't go anywhere. Since he had been so upset by the 2 temp takings, she suggested I stand back which I did and she continued the exam while scruffing him. He growled and hissed the whole time. I understand that he was upset and she needed control, but I felt this just pissed him off further.- For the shots, again I usually just hold him, but she called in the tech and the threw a towel over him, scruffed him, and gave him the shot. He wailed the whole time. -Reception was inefficient and unprofessional. After the exam all I wanted to do is pay and get out of there, but I was left standing at the desk for a minute while no one acknowledged me.  Finally I was told it would be a minute, so I had a seat. Another patient came in, they couldn't find his animals chart so he had to sit down and fill out a new one. Another man walked in to pick up his cat and they said it would be several minutes. They both got served before me and I was waiting about 20 minutes. - The whole visit took about an hour and 20 minutes when I am used to being in and out of my old vet in 45 minutes without me and my cat leaving upset. I will be returning to my old vet. Read Less

We started taking our cats to ACC when our old vet closed her practice. Dr. Judy was wonderful with our little scaredy-cat, that was the calmest I've ever seen him at the vet's. When his kidneys started to fail, they were very supportive with treatment and helping us decide when to let the little guy go. A few days after we put him to sleep, we received a sympathy card in the mail.  It's good to know that they care about my pets as much as I do.. Read Less

I have had two cats treated by ACC. Overall, I think ACC is OK for cats. I have three specific complaints. When I took my previous cat to be euthanized, they made me sit in the waiting room FOREVER, with me getting more and more emotional. They had basically forgotten about me. The clerk finally said, "What are you here for" and I told her to euthanize my cat. They sent me to a back room where they brought in the male vet. He showed NO compassion or caring for the fact that I was euthanizing my 10 year old cat with cancer in her ear. I have refused to go to him ever since. He may be a great diagnostician as one other rater said, but his bedside manner SUCKS.Secondly, when I have boarded my 20-year old remaining cat, when I've gone to pick her up, they bring her out in her carrier and then take FOREVER to settle up her bill. The last time I picked her up, I said, PLEASE let me pay and THEN go get her. The vet tech said, "OK" and then proceeded to go get my cat and bring her out and THEN settle the bill. ARGGGH. My cat is crying and crying the whole time. Why further stress out a 20 year old cat? The tech said, "that's how we do it." Stupid reasoning. My final complaint is that they won't give prescription refills without seeing the cat again. At 20 -- and nearly 21 years of age, no news is good news with my cat. They just want $$$$ in my opinion. So I'll take her in and I'll pay $150 for them to tell me she's old and to keep her on the same meds and her kidneys are going. Like I didn't already know that before spending $150. I love my cat and I take good care of her (hence her advanced age). I don't enjoy spending money needlessly on her. Read Less
