I took my cat here since I adopted him, for almost 2 years, normally every visit was pleasant enough. I was very disappointed the last time I took him, one of the doctors came into the waiting room with another cat's blood on them. What kind of procedure she had just performed-I'm not sure, but I believe the scent and her tone agitated my cat. She clearly was nervous around my cat and afraid of him, which I was surprised since they are a vet specializing in cats. I can't imagine they don't receive difficult cats, he isn't extremely difficult, he just doesn't find going to the vet pleasant like most cats. She ended up pricking him with a shot a couple times before being able to administer it and it was an overall unnecessary dramatic experience. So a couple months later, when he was having digestive issues I called to get an appointment and they suggested I go to a hospital down the street and they were busy. When we went to the other local vet, three staff members were waiting for him with gloves and they handled him just fine. They were not afraid of my 12 lb cat, and had the expertise and knowlege on how to handle him.I was upset to just receive a postcard in the mail reminding me of his annual shots from The Cat Hospital, with a note asking to give him a sedative before I bring him in. I also received a postcard from the other vet, who clearly is more capable of handling agitated cats, but they didn't put a note to give him a sedative. The Cat Hospital wasn't able to help me when my cat was having a serious digestive issue, but they are fine to ask me to give my cat a sedative so I can bring him in for a yearly checkup so they can collect their $150.This is extremely unprofessional, and I will not be recommending this vet to any one I know.
