Our Otisina was somewhat congested and making strange sounds occasionally for a while but did not seem sick. It got worse all of the sudden and I took her in to the Cat Clinic of Lawrence. She got a 10 day treatment and was sounding great then it came back. We did a 2 med treatment for the next for 6 weeks and Otisina has been clear 4 months now!! Everyone at the Cat Clinic are very knowledgeable and professional. They did an awesome job getting my kitty well. Read Less

My wife and I rescued a sick kitten and tried to take him here. Dr. Driscoll would only treat him with one medication at a time, advising us that he might not feel great if he was administered more than one shot at a time. She also refused to treat his diarrhea, treating it as a low priority, which almost killed him. Each time this happened, we had to repay an appointment fee. After a month we had spent almost $800.00 at the Cat Clinic trying to get our kitten healthy, where he just was used to wring money from additional appointment fees. Besides that, on one day, we had an appointment for both of our cats back to back where we brought in our adolescent who got the sniffles, and when we asked if it was possible she got it from the kitten, were told, “No, no, your cats definitely couldn’t get each other sick.” When we brought in the kitten an hour later, we were told, “Your kitten probably got the adult sick.” Regardless, there is some incompetency going on in one of those statements or at the very least fallacious assumptions prior to having information available. The biggest problem I had was that she failed to maintain control of the same kitten while taking his temperature and he panicked and buckled on the thermometer. I did not know that a cat could scream so loud, and scream, and scream, and scream. She advised us that this was normal while she kept forcing the thermometer for so long that I thought I was going to be sick. I used to be in the military. She hurt him so much that he wound up with permanent trust issues with other people. Before that he was always very gregarious. He recovered mentally but still keeps his space with people and has strong space boundaries. At any rate, after 800 dollars and ten different appointments, our kitten almost died one night and on the advice of a friend, we took him to Eudora Animal Hospital. $50.00, ONLY ONE APPOINTMENT later, a handful of shots, and we had a happy healthy kitten who survived to adulthood and is a happy house cat after a narrow shave with the Cat Clinic. I advise, don’t go here. We almost lost our family member trying to have them treated here while they were regarded as a stream of revenue, and also sunk eight hundred dollars for literally nothing here. I have literally advised people to Eudora Animal Hospital while walking past the cat clinic. Read Less

Wonderful place for kitties and owners. It was icy and cold when I went and the had coffee there while I waited and warmed up. Needless to say, both owner and kitty were happy: kitty was happy to come hone, owner was warm! Kitty was cared for too! Read Less

I got a kitten from the Lawrence humane society and shortly after she got REALLY sick. I went to the Lewis vet clinic and while they were nice they were COMPLETELY unhelpful. After switching to Dr.O my kitten is on her way to recovery. The staff is excellent and make sure to make your kitten/cat feel comfortable. Dr.O knows what she’s doing and is confident in her decisions. So thankful for her help. Read Less

This is my go to vet for cats! Dr. O and her staff are kind and considerate. They take care of little details so your kitty is less stressed out. At most vets, you end up waiting along with at least one dog, who will come greet your already stressed out kitty. At the cat clinic, not only are there no dogs, but I've never had to wait. They are always right on time and I go straight into the exam room. The staff are friendly and kind. Dr. O takes a lot of time to explain things and answer your questions. Read Less

Very knowledgeable, nice staff and quiet atmosphere suited for kitties! Dr. O'Driscoll is very thorough in explaining what is wrong with your cat and what treatment options are available. I like the fact that they specialize in just cats. Read Less

Five stars across the board, wish I could rate them higher. I moved to Lawrence in June 2016 and would see the sign for the cat clinic every time I went to Mass St.. I took one of my cats there for a concern. I usually don't like general vet clinics because I am sensitive to the sound of dogs barking, so I decided to go to a cat-centric clinic. I felt like my concerns were taken seriously and I never felt like I was talked down to like I have felt at other vet clinics. They were responsive to my e-mails in such timely manners and let me know what was going on 100% of the time with the services done, whenever I had a concern. When I (sadly) had to put my old furbaby to sleep they were incredibly kind and compassionate, gave me all the time I needed, as well as gaving me her paw 'prints' in the mail alongside a touching sympathy card. Thank you Dr. Jenny, Liam, Justin, Rhonda, Alicia, and Andrea. I would still love to do your holiday cards this year. Also, Jojo thanks you for your hard work (being a vet takes an incredible amount of work and dedication, no doubt!), and here is a better pic of her in her prime - imgur[dot]com/rAR9ZAK. Replace the [dot] with a '.' since it won't let me post links in reviews.Read Less

Wonderful clinic, staff and service!! Dr. O is the best. We take both our cats there and both have had some significant events (one got sprayed by a skunk and the other has chronic kidney disease). The staff are patient, professional, kind, and very knowledgeable. I've referred many here. The clinic itself is clean and fresh smelling. The cat condo's behind the desk are a riot! Read Less

I am up at 3:27 a.m. in fear that my beloved cat Judge will die. I took my cat to the clinic as a second opinion about dental work and to a lesser degree his weight. I liked the doctor and the staff very well at first but when the doctor suggested I change my cat's food to all wet food as a weight loss strategy she did not mention how to do it or to do it in a specific way. I switched him from one wet meal to all meals of wet food and he stopped eating all together over the weekend. When I got back into the clinic for an emergency appointment Monday and the doctor said very little about fatty liver disease but began to instruct me in detail about how to switch his food, she had failed to do this the week before and this caused his life threatening problem. She suggested he had an underlying condition that must have caused his extreme reaction to switching food. It says on Google that overweight middle aged cats need to change food carefully or they will get this condition. My cat had black stool and was vomiting and crying for hours in the morning on Saturday and Sunday all clear signs of distress and fatty liver if you read Google. The doctor offered to give him a "anti nausea" shot Monday only at the very end of the appointment as if to help us feel better but I see on Google it is standard protocol to help them start eating which is critical to their survival. I refused the shot because I thought it was just an optional add on not a necessary aid in helping him to start eating again. This doctor said he looked a little dehydrated but was fine and did not seem concerned.I paid her for my second appointment and new food all for nothing. Now I am looking at taking him to another vet in the morning and have him potentially be force fed and who knows how expensive this emergency treatment will be to hopefully save his life. Everyone makes mistakes but charging us for the second appointment telling me how to feed him AFTER the damage was done vs jumping in to help and get things right is not the sign of a good vet. I wasted more time figuring out on my own what is really wrong and how to help my boy cat get better (if he can get better) just because this vet was not completely forthcoming and clear about his serious condition. I never flame in reviews but this is necessary because my cat is like my child and this doc did NOT do right by us! Read Less

This was our kitty's first visit to the vet and we couldn't have picked any better. We arrived early but they were able to squeeze us in as we arrived. We were given plenty of literature and information on various areas of cat ownership such as chipping, pet insurance, etc. The tech was great. She provided a toy to distract and entertain the cat while not getting angry when he wouldn't cooperate. The vet was knowledgeable and gentle when she came in while both tech and vet quickly picked up on the unique personality of my cat. As a result the care was personalized. Furthermore the clinic was clean and there were no medical smells. Will definitely be back! Read Less

I wish I could post a better review. We gave it the benefit of the doubt, but have had nearly 2 years of consistently underwhelming experiences. Cat clinic's location is convenient, but we were never seen at our appointment time --- We always waited 20-40 minutes once we got into a room. My cat was uncharacteristically stressed from staff trying to secure her instead of waiting a moment for her to settle down. It was hard to get our questions answered without feeling talked down to, or having our concerns dismissed. We were pressured into paying for expensive and/or optional labs and treatments that our cat did not need or benefit from. Dr. O did a great job with my cat's oral surgery, which is what brought us to Cat Clinic, but we just couldn't handle the rest. We went to a new vet today and it was leagues better for us in every way; We are truly sad that Cat Clinic didnt work out.Read Less

I've taken my babies to more vets than I can remember over the last 17yrs. Cat Clinic is by far and away the best vet in town!! Dr. O takes such good care of my babies and her amazing staff goes above and beyond, treating my babies with patience and kindness. They're super responsive, even when I "helicopter-mom" and ask a billion questions. I can't imagine taking my babies anywhere else!! Read Less

Cat Clinic of Lawrence is so awesome. Nick was sick last weekend, not eating and lethargic and apparently jaundiced, so I took him in last Monday. He's 12 and never been ill, so I knew something was wrong right away. He spent the night there on IV fluids and has been diagnosed with cholangiohepatitis -- a liver disease. He's on meds now and I boarded him while I was gone over the weekend. I just picked him up from the vet and he's doing so much better. Gained half a pound and acting like his normal crazy, affectionate, talkative self. The Dr. O'Driscoll and the staff are wonderful. If you have cats in Lawrence, you should go there. Read Less

We love the cat clinic! They have done so much for us, and our elusive cat Gone. We love Dr. O'D and her staff. Great communication and even better service. Bonus: they understand that sometimes our cat hides in places we cannot find her. Hence the name Gone. Read Less

The Cat Clinic of Lawrence was able to get my sick kitten in within 2 hours of my call. They were very thorough and found more than one issue that was potentially causing all of her symptoms. They answered all of my questions and made me feel confident that taking her there was the right choice. We will definitely come back for all of her health needs! Read Less

I love this place. Dr. O Driscoll is super nice and very good at explaining things. She helped me a lot especially when I found out about one of my cats having FIP. Although Cocoa didn't live (because FIP is an automatic death sentence), she was very helpful in trying other solutions for Cocoa. Dr. O Driscoll also has taken care of my other two cats and she has been very helpful with them. I like how she is super passionate and caring about the kitties. Read Less
