I cannot say enough positive things about this place.

You will not find any other vet for cats better than this practice. Dr. Lori is so very gentle and loving. She treats every cat like they are her own. Her staff is phenomenal. They go over and beyond to make your experience pleasant. This is a "home" away from home for your cat. I highly recommend taking your cat here as you will not be disappointed. They are an example of how a successful business is run because they put the customer first and care deeply for their animals. Read Less

Ive gotten to know The Cat Practice well over my cat Gracies long life, but especially so during the last 3 years when she developed CKD. Dr. Lori and the entire staff are experts at their job. They are professional, but treated Gracie and me like family. Their thoughtful care, kindness and sense of humor eased the burden of a long illness all the way to the end. The Cat Practice compassionately helped Gracie cross the bridge at home, which means so very much to me. Feline medical expertise, a love of cats and compassion is clearly evident in The Cat Practice crew. As a huge bonus, this cat friendly, feline only clinic does not declaw. <3 Read Less

My 16 year old kitty Angel was diagnosed in late stage 3 renal failure in Jan 2014. After the appointment I was waiting on the results. I received an email that looked like it was a cut and paste email (insert cats name here, condition here, etc). I called to speak to Dr. Coughlin several times over the next 2.5 days. I did not receive an answer. I finally came back in to meet with a vet asst and Dr. Coughlin was there. We saw one another but she never came in to speak to me, in fact, we never actually spoke again. I had a ton of questions which the assistant couldn't answer. All they wanted me to do was buy a particular dry food from them and to administer fluids. That was the extent of the treatment plan. I was told Angel had less than a year. I decided to get a second opinion from The Cat Hospital of Chicago. They addressed all my questions and concerns and came up with a more thorough treatment plan. I'm really happy I did. I was able to get another 2.5 years with my kitty because of it. Read Less

Wonderful Vets :) They really care about your kitty. We took our cat here when he got sick. The vet was so helpful and honest in presenting our options for further care. When we purchased bloodwork and an Xray, she was up front about the costs. When the results came back she explained everything about the tests and walked us through the Xray images. We found out our cat probably ate something bad while he was outside and was causing him to be sick!! The vet gave us some antibiotics and after a few days he got better. The Vet followed up with us to make sure our kitty was ok!! Thank you Cat Practice for the excellent care. Read Less
