Always a good experience (until I get the bill - my cat's medical bills are bigger than mine!). I also know this is true for all my pet-owner friends. KC Cat Clinic makes it all easier with their friendly, helpful staff and caring knowledgeable vets. Wouldn't trust the care of my two furry friends to anyone else but them. Read Less

Wonderfully caring and knowledgeable doctors, techs, and staff. I will always bring my cats here as long as I live in the KC area. If you want very specialized and thorough care for your cat, this is the place. Read Less

From the first call to the receptionist to the vet tech to the vet herself was wonderful. My cat and I had gone through a lot for a month with another office and I wasn't pleased. So I am so happy I found this place. They made us feel so safe and welcomed. They walked me through everything. I just really appreciate everything they did for us. I would most definitely recommend them to anyone who owns a cat. Thank you again for taking such good care of us. Read Less

I've been taking my kitties to the KC cat clinic since the 1970's when it was the Cat and Bird clinic. A week ago I had to make that difficult decision to let my beloved Oscar pass on. After 20 years of big personality, meditative purring, unconditional love & companionship, the sweet boy could no longer stand or walk. I'd always said I wanted him to go out purring and he did just that with the compassionate care and support of Dr. Gloor who was actually on her day off. I'm very grateful. Read Less

I'm so lucky to have found the KC Cat Clinic. It's not only close to my home making it convenient for me and my cat, but the staff and vets are are always friendly and genuinely interested in Freeway's well-being. It's less stressful for her without dogs and bigger animals to scare her. I would recommend them to anyone with cats looking for a vet where their treated with warmth, kindness, professionalism, and concern. Read Less

We moved here just over a year ago from out of state & were happy to find a cats-only clinic within driving distance. We have been very happy with the vets & staff at the KC Cat Clinic. They are all very caring people - it is clear that they really love cats. They have provided excellent care for our 2 cats that have had challenging medical issues. Read Less

This is a fantastic feline-only veterinary clinic. It's a calm, non-dog-filled environment. They are specialists and are really committed to making sure you get the latest information and services. I had a cat with serious health problems and Dr. Gloor was an amazing and thorough diagnostician--she walked me through all of our options, methodically ruled out other possible illnesses, developed an effective drug treatment and had realistic, caring advice every step of the way. They are great partners for a pet owner to have--from when you get a new kitten to end-of-life stages for a beloved companion. The staff is uniformly kind and empathetic, but I think what sets them apart is the very high standard of individual attention and medical care your cat can get here. Read Less

I found KC Cat Clinic to be EXCEPTIONAL across the board! They were extremely conscientious to be gentle in handling relieve stress like I never had seen with any previous care providers. The communication was excellent with many specific questions followed by much educational information including basis for care, not only how, but also why. The spay procedure could not have been executed better. I could not recommend any place higher in the metro area if you want the best quality feline care. Read Less

The KC Cat Clinic has been taking care of our cats for over 25 years through 3 sets of cats. The Cat Clinic is not only current with the latest techniques and research, but they love cats and their approach to care shows that. Our current pair, now 10 years old, spent their first three months of life at the Cat Clinic before we adopted them, and are the most delightful, social cats we have ever had. I highly recommend the Cat Clinic for the best care for your cats. Read Less

I had my kitty on a road trip cross country and needed to stop at a vet for a follow up blood test. I called and talked to Hope who was so courteous and knowledgeable. She went out of her way to get us an appointment for the next morning as we were just passing through. The appointment itself was quick and easy. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they don't use scruffing techniques with cats. They treated my cat with care and respect. Thank you so much KC Cat Clinic! Read Less

They're staff is wonderful!! We originally had an appt for last week but my kitty was very anxious and ended scratching the Dr pretty badly. So they sent us home with another appt, some sedatives and tips to help things go smoother and they didn't charge us for the incomplete exam. Well today was our second appt and I was so impressed. While Cash was still  anxious the sedatives made things so much easier and less stressful for everyone. They were so informative and gentle. We definitely found out forever vet! Read Less

The doctors and staff here are amazing! They really have a love for cats, and they have done an excellent job with my cat, who has major anxiety issues around strangers and unfamiliar places. They will provide top care for your cat, and they will take plenty of time to explain everything to you and answer any questions you have. Read Less

Meh.  I've experienced better.  New to Kansas City and moving from a temporary location to a permanent location and exploring options to board the cat for a few days and options for a new vet for the cat.  And so I called KC Cat Clinic and inquired as to the options to board a cat for a few days.  The response was an immediate no unless you are a current established customer.  And so I inquired what would be required to be a current established customer.  In the end I noted the less than hospitable first impression and an indication both the cat and myself are better off elsewhere.  And so yes, I've experienced better. Read Less

It's still an ongoing process but they took great care of my Aqua baby when she came down sick. They understand our pets are our children and not "just a cat". They talked to her, cooed, oohed and ahhed at my kitty as though she was their own. A+++ customer service. I would recommend them to anyone needing a vet! Unlike a lot of businesses they actually knee up with their email and stay in constant communication with you. I am glad we moved to KC and even happier we found them. Read Less

They are very kind and compassionate people that truly love working with cats. They were just wonderful with my babies. The whole staff provides excellent care and I'm so glad we decided on them to provide health care to our babies. Read Less

This is a Cat-only place. I've always enjoyed the service here. It is top-dollar, though. Teeth cleaning with no extractions set me back $509 this week. That is steep. So, if you are willing to spend untold sums of money they will let you! Cats are subject to so many illnesses... but will survive through most of them without extensive intervention. You may have to say no to certain treatments here... so be prepared for that. The good part is that your cat will be handled with care here... they treat my cats better than I do... and that's saying something. :-) Read Less

I'll begin with a positive comment about the vet techs at KC Cat Clinic. They really deserve 5 stars as they handled my dying kitty with such care. The doctor at KC Cat Clinic deserves 0 stars, and that is why I gave only 2 stars overall.  My kitty had a terminal disease, but upon an exam and bloodwork they tried to convince me to take out a $2500-$3000 dollar loan for xrays and surgery to make him "feel better".  In my moment of panic and despair they took advantage of me by charging me what they did for the initial appointment.  They almost had me convinced about taking out this loan for further care, but instead I decided to seek a second opinion.  The next veterinarian determined that my kitty's condition was fatal upon a physical exam, and confirmed this with xrays, and sampling body fluids.  He was then euthanized and put out of his misery.  The cost for the second veterinarian to examine him, do xrays, take body fluids, euthanize, and cremate him was 1/3 of the cost KC Cat Clinic Charged for the initial appointment of examination and in-house bloodwork.  I feel taken advantage of and ripped off by KC Cat Clinic when there was no hope for my cat to live. This whole scenario leads me to believe that KC Cat Clinic would prolong an animal's misery if it means more money for them. I am heartbroken over losing my kitty, I feel like I was taken advantage of in a weak moment, and I do not recommend KC Cat Clinic. Read Less

I started going to KC Cat Clinic when I moved back to Kansas City from Phoenix. One of my cats at the time had hyperthyroid and I wanted to give him the best care I could. Dr. Sundahl and Dr. Gloor are the best - they've not only helped my cats out, but have worked me in when I found stray kittens that needed help. I can't recommend them more highly. Read Less

I can't even talk about the KC Cat Clinic highly enough. I had two cats that were older (14 and 15) and one ended up with cancer (Dr Sundahl bought us another year with her and was kind and honest with us about her prognosis). Recently, my 14 year old cat (the cat that is so important to me, more than anything in the world) had a seizure and wouldn't eat. It happened over Memorial Day weekend, so we took him to the vet ER (VCA Mission). The ER vet told us that there was something wrong with his brain and that he'd die soon. We spent two days of the long weekend believing this was the case. We took him to our regular vets at KC Cat Clinic after the weekend and they diagnosed him with pancreatitis and found a bunch of stuff with a physical exam that the ER doc didn't. He got a serious treatment plan, and later a feeding tube, and is doing well. There have been a couple of times where I had seen other vets (when I first moved to KC) and they  threw up their hands or told me the last option was a super expensive surgery. Dr Sundahl and Dr Gloor have had about a thousand steps to try before the crazy thing the other vets wanted to try. I have had cats all my life and they are so, so important to me. I've never had better vet care than I have with KC Cat Clinic. When my sweet girl was dying, they were so compassionate and came to our house to end her suffering, instead of doing it at her least favorite place. Truthfully, I cannot recommend anyone else in the city as highly as I do this vet. They will seriously save your baby's life. They really care about cats, not like many vets who are in it for the money. I am sitting here with my cat that should have died (according to other vets) and he is doing really well, purring and hanging out with me when (according to everyone else) he should be dead. They are so sweet with kitties, even jerks (like mine) and truly explore every option, so you know you're getting the best care. The vet techs are amazing, too. They clearly love kitties and are so sweet and loving, even when the kitty is trying to scratch their eyes out! I know this review is long, but I owe many years of my kitties' lives to Dr Sundahl and Dr Gloor, and there is no way I can thank them enough. If you want the best kitty care, go to this vet!! They are so kind and compassionate, and are clearly kitty people! Read Less

I must say I am very pleased with this company. I feel like some vets cater to dogs so I was incredibly happy to find one that exclusively does cats. It let me know that they specialize and recognize problems better. Read Less

My 19 year old cat has been coming to KC Cat Clinic for a long time. Having a senior cat can be a health roller coaster fand Dr. Gloor, Hope and everyone at the front desk are always kind and compassionate. I would never consider taking my cat anywhere else. Read Less

I have used the KC Cat Clinic since about 1999. Over that time, they have treated my cats with the utmost skill and concern. They are not inexpensive. To be sure, though, you are not getting cut rate care either. Drs Sundahl and Gloor are both dedicated to feline medicine, and they are amoung few Veterinarians that specialize in cats only. So, by limiting their practice by at least half of the pets available, something has to give, I suppose. I am certain that Smokey is alive today because of their thorough exams and care. A follow up call for lab results is always received the next day, along with a frank discussion of the good and the bad. I am thankful that these folks have chosen to offer feline only DVM services in this area. Also, I appreciate the late evening hours currently offered on Mon/Tues, as well as drop off services, although I have only done that once. Read Less

EDITED TO RESPOND TO OWNER COMMENT:Let's just put it this way: in his years of life moving around the country with me, my cat has probably been to nearly a dozen different vets and animal clinics - including being hospitalized once. NOT ONCE did anyone notice a "heart murmur."In addition, he recently was put under for a teeth-cleaning and had one tooth pulled. ONE.  Not the six that the Cat Clinic tried to convince us had to come out.Look - if you all have good experiences here, good for you.  A good vet is increasingly hard to find, and I encourage you to take your kittypal wherever you're most comfortable.  But I do NOT like alarmist tactics thrown into play to distress pet owners into spending more money, and that is 100% how I felt at this place.  One Yelper's Experience =/= Law, but I warn my friends off of this place and won't ever take my cat back. If you're looking for a good (calm, reasonable) vet, I recommend Sarah at Noah's Ark in Brookside. ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW*********************I'm with Brenna, but I'm actually going to even go one star lower.  We were informed that our cat has a heart murmur and needs to see a cardiologist "ASAP."  It's "probably nothing," but you see, our cat is apparently on the verge of losing most of his teeth due to poor dental hygiene and has to have a teeth cleaning.  Never mind the fact that we brush his teeth (really, we do) and that he eats dry food and canned with equal gusto (normally, cats with dental distress avoid dry food).  We've been told by three previous vets that the cat has some tartar buildup, but that if we're consistent with brushing, he shouldn't need a professional cleaning. Anyway! The Cat Clinic vet disagrees! (I can't remember her name, sorry). We can't do the cleaning until we see the cardiologist, because the cat has to be put under for the cleaning, and they won't do that until they KNOW that the heart murmur really is nothing.  Get all that?  We were also given a pile of completely alarmist information on how to cope with our supposedly "Senior" cat (he's 8, entirely-indoor and is unbelievably healthy and active).  Apparently, because he's hit a certain age, our cat is Always On The Verge Of Death.  Live in a state of constant panic, you guys! This totally different response from the previous three (excellent, brilliant) vets that we've had, paired with the aggressive push to do six-month checkups (completely unnecessary and also completely financially impossible for us) means that we'll be getting a second opinion.  Honestly, I like a cautious vet, but the attitude at this place seems like cranked-to-eleven alarmism to me.  I think I'm going to keep looking for another permanent vet.

We have a cat and a family vet (where my mother-in-law works), but it's quite a hike and difficult to get in on short notice. We found a very sickly stray at my husband's office and we were unable to get an appointment to get her checked out. The cat was skin an bones, covered in dirt and motor oil and looked like she was knocking on death's door. We wanted to keep the cat as long as she was savable. Having driven by countless times, I decided to call KC Cat and see if they could maybe squeeze me in. And they took a new customer with a random stray cat and made me feel like a life long customer.They thoroughly examined the poor cat and treated her with such sweetness, she "kneaded biscuits" the whole time they poke and prodded her. She had a few motor oil spots and they took care of those too. Knowing she was a stray, they gave me a bit of a discount as well. They performed just about every test you can imagine on the cat and made it easy to schedule follow-up appointments thanks to their convenient weekday hours. They even loaned me a cat crate to take her home in (she had been in an apple box). The doctor called me several times to follow-up, recommend treatments and explain test results. With their help, our new family member was nursed back to health in no time. Thanks to KC Cat Clinic, we have Clementine in our lives, and she makes us laugh everyday. My one knock: they might have been too thorough with their tests and diagnoses, but when your pets are your family members, that's what you want. Read Less

Being new to the KC area and needing a vet, I went Yelping and Googling, and this is what I came up with.  I made an appointment for my cat and took him here early one morning.  He was seen by Dr. Sundahl.  She was amazing with him and she is very knowledgeable.  This clinic is specifically for cats, so I kind of expected that it would be a bit fancy or expensive.  It was both.My cat had a more thorough exam here than he's ever had in his life.  Dr. Sundahl discovered that he has a bit of heart murmur "which is probably nothing."  However, she recommended that he have some lab work drawn and that he may possibly need to see the cat cardiologist (there are such things?).  I agreed to have the lab work, yearly rabies vaccination, and also picked up some Advantage.  My total bill was about $325!  Holy cats!Dr. Sundhal called with his lab results and wanted to see my cat again in about three months to do repeat lab work.  At that price, I simply can't afford it.  Also, the cat cardiologist she wanted him to see would be about $400.  I actually work with humans who have heart problems, and the whole time I'm thinking "What are they going to do, open heart surgery?!  It's a cat!"  Also, not an option.  I really feel that this clinic really cares and loves working with felines, but for the average Joe, it's a bit pricey.  Dr. Sundahl and her staff offered a variety of information related to the "elderly cat" including tips on how to keep him properly hydrated, changes in behavior that could indicate a health problem, and a variety of other information I had previously been unaware of.Don't get me wrong, I love my hairy little beast.  I want him to be healthy, and I'll do whatever is reasonably necessary to keep him in good shape.  I'll definitely take my cat here once or twice a year for his checkups, but anymore than that, and I'd be broke.  However, if you can afford KC Cat Clinic and you want to see a vet and staff who are more thorough and knowledgeable than other vets, this is your place.

I've owned 5 cats over the course of 20 years, lived in 6 different cities and been to many vet clinics over the years. This is, far and away, the best veterinary clinic I've ever visited. I've experienced everything from having to put down my elderly cat here to general check-ups, teeth cleanings and diagnostic issues and have encountered nothing but the most caring, experienced, professional and conscientious staff. My cats are in the best hands here and I couldn't be happier I found this place. I have total peace of mind that my cats are getting the best care they could be getting and that makes me very grateful. Read Less

A friend of mine 10 or so years ago started using the KC Cat Clinic, loved them, and recommended them to me.  At the time, we took our cats elsewhere, and then we moved away from KC for a bit.  When we moved back, the cat clinic was very near to our house, so we definitely chose them for our kitties.I believe there are four doctors there, but I have really only worked with Dr. Sundahl and Dr. Gloor.  They are both fantastic!  Everyone who works there is so nice, patient, and truly cares about cats.  It is a very small staff, and they really take the time to get to know all of the human caregivers in addition to the cats.Now...they are very into cats and their health, hence why they focus on them.  They are very interested in weight management, elder cat care, dental health, and a number of other areas.  Sometimes there are lots of recommendations.  These are things that can really work, but that can add up to quite an expense too.  The KC Cat Clinic understands that not everyone can afford everything for their kitty.  They are very good at working with people to do the essentials, and don't get overly pushy with things.Besides veterinary services, they have a variety of diet and other foods, and a little area with a nice selection of cat toys, and products.  They also do a fair amount of promotions, and are awesome at letting you know when pet food companies are increasing their prices so that you can buy food before the price goes up!A few other things I like about them: once you are a patient, you can drop your cats off for their appointment, and pick them up later in the daythey call to follow up on how things are going, and always take the time to answer questions promptlythe overnight care is not too expensive, and is goodonce again, they are just so darn nice!
