I used to take my cat Prince here when I lived in buffalo. I seriously love this place. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The veterinarians are also very friendly and took very good care of my cat.  They cut your cats nails and brush them before the visit. My cat was a little overweight when I first saw them and they offered to have him follow up for free weigh ins. I highly recommend this place to anyone with a cat. They give you options in what they think is absolutely necessary for your cat and don't push tests if they don't think it's vital for the health of your cat. I trust them completely. Read Less

The summer street cat clinic has been amazing for me and my senior kitty, Pearl. Pearl and I found each other when she was over 10 years. I was living in a rural village and took Pearl to the general small animal vet in town for some odd issues she was having and they had only very simple suggestions to try and help her. Pearl and I ended up moving closer to Buffalo and that's when I started to bring her to Summer Street Cat Clinic. They have helped Pearl so much. She is going to turn 15 now and she is doing the best she has since she was adopted into the family. They have some evening appointments which is great for this #workingcatmom. They always call me to remind me of my appointments and answer questions if I something comes up between Pearl's wellness visits. If you want your kitty to have the best care out there, take them to Summer Street Cat Clinic!! They understand cats and what they need and always give a free nail trip with appointments. Read Less

Dr. Levine and her staff are Incredibly friendly and talented bunch of Individuals. They may not be the cheapest vet in town but for top notch cat care they are great. We always get an appointment with her personally. They do give you options on tests they recommend as wrll as how to spread out the cost on procedures,rather than just saying you need it period. If you have a cat and want top notch care, go see Dr. Levine. Read Less

The most horrible clinic we've ever brought our kitty in. Our cat hasn't eaten and gone to the toilet for a few days. The vet said that will examine him in another room. We were hearing terrible screaming from that room. When she returned she said that our cat didn't allow her to measure the temperature or to palpate him properly. No solutions were made about the cat's problems with the stomach. Only at home we found out that the doctor cut the claws on two paws. What we hate about what happened is - first, they didn't ask our permission to cut our cat's claws and we are absolutely against this procedure; second, instead of doing something useful and appropriate such as measuring the body's temperature, for example, they were torturing our cat; third, they inflicted unnecessary stress on the sick animal. Theresa Ryndak you are a sadist not a veterinary! What's funny, she suggested to cut his claws in the future after she has already done this procedure! What a liar. Read Less

The staff here clearly loves their jobs and cats! Everyone was warm and welcoming on our first visit, and we got a lovely note from the vet that saw us a few days later in the mail. Their prices are very reasonable, and they break them down for you well in advance so you know what to expect. Read Less

I have taken my cat here for the past two years, and everyone there is always very friendly and willing to talk to you about any concerns you may have about your cat. They also send out super cute post cards as reminders. If I have to get my cat in right away, I can usually get in the same day.Read Less

I advice every cat owner not to go to this clinic.They are not giving the right advice and treatment to a sick cat and probably will treat either by not knowing or to make more money by giving injections special foods they sell and basically are not out for the best interest of your cat.We have lost our cat and we feel that the treatment received was the wrong one and has contributed to his untimely death.I wish I had gone to a veterarian clinic and gotten the right advice based on what the condition of my cat was.

Don't take your cat here if they're really sick and you need real medical advice. These vets will make you pay $500 for blood tests and other tests you won't need and then they won't have any idea how to help your sick pet beside giving it some steroids. Save your energy and a headache and go straight to an animal hospital. My cats hematocrit level was basically non existent and I asked the vet if she needed a blood transfusion. To which the vet replied, "maybe but it's going to be very very expensive and we don't do that here." She reiterated that a transfusion would be extremely expensive about 3 more times and that I should just go home with the steroids. Almost as if she was implying I couldn't afford it because I refused to pay for any more useless tests because my kittens condition was clearly becoming a medical emergency. Then when they transferred their paperwork over to the Orchard Park Veterinary Medical Center where I ended up taking my cat and spent an additional $2k, the vet stated in her paperwork that she was the one who suggested I get my cat transfused (oh no you didn't).My kitten survived and is now on steroidal therapy. This clinic charged me 50% more for the steroids than what the Orchard Park Medical Center is charging me FYI. Don't go here. Read Less

I always feel well taken care of at Summer Street. They don't mind that my cat doesn't like to be co-operative at the vets office and will growl, hiss, scream, scratch, and bite. I was sure they'd demand to sedate him for their safety before even examining him. But they just came in with their gloves and towel and smiled at my cat while speaking in reassuring tones. The staff assured me cats get angry and that's ok. It doesn't mean they're bad and they understand that this is not their normal behavior. Hats very true because he is a perfect little sweetheart gentleman to me. They are always willing to find an appointment for me when there is an issue with my cat Leonard that is urgent. All the staff are friendly And put me at easy during a really stressful time with my Leonard had an injury. They gave me a treatment plan and estimate which ended up being dead on when they cashed me out. I really liked how they began assessing him and then gave him pain meds and while they waited for them to kick in he let Leonard back in the room with me so I could further relax and reassure him (and myself) that he'd be ok. They were willing to answer my numerous questions and worries and assured me I could call any time with any other questions. All in all Summer Street Cat Clinic made a stressful emergency situation into something manageable, and something I could walk away from with confidence that he got great care and he will heal great. Thank you Summer Street! Read Less

Such a loving place! Several years ago I had my cat, Gladys Jean DeCosta, put to rest here after a short battle with stomach cancer. The staff was exceptional in every regard, including their treatment of myself. Tonight I brought in a stray to see if he has an identification chip and they were more than happy to help me. I can't thank them enough. Read Less

This is a clinic that really cares about your cat and not the bottom line. My cat tends to be a very fussy eater they offered a free weight check every couple of months. Who else does this??? Love the summer street cat clinic. Thanks for keeping my cat in good health. Read Less

When my cat James had an ear infection the staff at Summer Street Cat Clinic was a god send! New to Buffalo, we didn't have a vet and I didn't know who to call. As soon as we got there I felt so relieved, the staff was so nice and so accommodating, especially with my angry (and in pain) little kitty. They even lent me a carrier as this frazzled cat-mom couldn't find his travel box. They also helped get his shots up to date without pressuring me to get a million vaccines ...they just prioritized what my indoor cat needed and explained everything in a nice, clear manner. Nice facility, caring staff, and had my baby feeling better in no time! Read Less

I have had 2 experiences, with 2 different kitties, which were less than acceptable. The doctor was a bit condescending and made me feel inadequate despite the fact my pets get better health care than I do. I brought my 14 year old cat in for a foot growth and was pressured to provide a biopsy, an overnight hospital visit, overpriced antibiotics, and an estimate for an amputation costing well over $2500. (Antibiotics alone were $70.) I took kitty for a second opinion and my regular vet recommended that I make him comfortable and happy until it was his time, offering affordable antibiotics ($12) and pain relievers until he could not go on. They did not recommend an amputation due to his age and assured me it was fine to place him in "hospice" care. I felt I was taken advantage of in a tough situation, both times. Read Less

I was a little unsure about coming here because of some of the reviews.  My life situation changed, so I don't drive much and I can walk here, so I took my cat.  3 times actually- once for a well visit (he needed a rabies vaccination) and 2 times for an issue.  I've been pleased all 3 times.  They never said anything about the cat food.  I even switched him from science diet to iams.  They checked him for fleas at his visits. They don't make you feel guilty about not getting a huge work-up on your pet. Just give you options, things to think about and a cost estimate.  If you say "no", they don't make a big deal about it. They are always very kind and caring to my cat, even when he Is a little grumpy.  everyone is very kind and pleasant.  I'm glad I started coming here to get the Miyagi-San looked at.  It's a good clinic and I recommend it!

I am happy to write a very positive review for the folks at Summer Street Cat Clinic. I think we have been bringing cats there since they opened, and they cared for six cats for us. First of all, it is not inconsiderable that they only treat cats. This allows them to really master the care of one species, and meant that our cats were not subjected to dogs and other species when they were sick. Secondly, they have a team approach to care that allows some vets to specialize in heart care, some in kidney care, etc. Our last feline friend, Fergus, was treated by three of the vet team and a half dozen vet techs, all of whom made him feel special. Finally, they are at two locations that are easy to reach - one for city folks and one for north town and Amherst folks. Need I add that I like them all? OK, why not. I like them all. Read Less

It's almost time for my cat's annual checkup, but I will not be bringing him back here. Last year's checkup was a horrible experience for both me and my cat. He was due for his rabies booster and it took the vet (I forget her name) three times to correctly inject it. The first time, it didn't make it all the way through his skin and my cat was clearly in pain. The second time, the same thing happened, but she attempted to inject it anyway, so all the vaccine/serum inside the syringe came out on the outside and got all over his fur and she didn't even wipe it off (I had to do it when I got home). Then she proceeded to tell me that the very healthy, premium food diet I feed my cat is going to somehow give him kidney stones and I should switch to Science Diet, which, by the way, is basically the crappiest food you can possibly feed your cat, short of Friskies or Whiskas. I would bet this office is being paid by Science Diet to tell people that (which is actually a thing that happens). I would not recommend coming here, although maybe I just got stuck with the bad vet of the bunch.Read Less

Superb service and care for my little Luna! I recently rescued my cat from living in a dilapidated trailer in the woods. Summer Street was super quick about getting her in once I brought her home (like the next day). Once we got to our first appointment, I was greeted by the nice lady at the desk and very promptly called into the room.Another perk - no long waits and never a crowded waiting room! Most I've seen was one other cat besides mine. They offer great, knowledgeable advice and are always open about the costs associated with anything and everything.I also got Luna spayed here and they were great about making me feel better. They also were able to schedule it right away! It was a little pricey but I believe I got what I paid for. She was in heat and I was very nervous for her but they treated her with respect and care and made me feel much more comfortable.Very friendly and they love my little kitty almost as much as I do! Highly recommend. Read Less

Dr Levine and her entire staff are exceptional veterinary professionals. Not only do they offer the best quality of care for your precious kitty, but it's evident they go above and beyond the call of duty by caring not only for your pet but also considering how the health of your pet can impact you as well. From one cat lover to another this place will make you feel confident your little fur baby is getting the best care possible. Read Less

Do not go here. They are AT LEAST double the price of other vets and they will gouge you and play to your emotions to try to get you to keep treating pets that are beyond hope. Then after getting gouged on the treatment they will have no problem gouging you to euthanize the cat too. They charged us almost $1000 to treat a cat that was clearly on deaths doorstep. The next week they charged us $350 to euthanize. After the emotions settled from losing our cat I decided to actually shop around for some of the costs of the procedures they performed. "Unnecessary, unethical and overpriced" were 3 of the most popular adjectives that were mentioned during those phone calls. Just for informational purposes, when searching for a new vet to declaw our new cat I called Summer St for a quote . Every other vet I called was in the $200 range. At Summer St $450!! I don't believe in a higher power, but if by chance I am wrong I will see these people in hell.Read Less

My cats definitely get better medical care than I do. I've been using Summer Street Cat Clinic (the location on Summer Street) for five years, now, and have seen all the veterinarians who work there. In that time, the support staff has stayed very consistent, and it's safe to say at this point that they remember me and know my two cats very well. Just this week, my female cat had dental surgery here, that actually cost below their estimate, and she had returned to almost her old self by the next morning. One of my cats does need to be taken in the back for his shots and deworming pills, because he gets very worked up at the vet and will bite/scratch/run away. Though I was mildly alarmed the first time this happened (five years ago), the vet explained to me that this is because of the biting, scratching, etc. Anyway, I would recommend (and do) Summer Street to people who ask me. They have been INCREDIBLY helpful over the years, and have taken excellent care of my cats. Read Less

A year ago, i took a stray feral cat, I named Fritz, to Summer Street Cat Clinic for neutering and vaccinations. When I picked him up, he was renamed Sweetie Pie. The doctors and staff were very knowledgeable and gained this cat's trust. He is now an important member of our family. Recently, he became ill, and I was grateful to have this clinic available. Because they have modern, advanced diagnostic equipment and excellent doctors, who specialize in the treatment of cats, they were able to save my cat's life. We are fortunate to have a specialty clinic such as this in our area. I highly recommend the SSCC. Read Less

Took my cat for a routine visit,healthy but wanted to do expensive blood work.I declined and they wanted to put him in a study.Would cover blood work but I had to pay for anesthesia and teeth cleaning. No evidence of any medical problems Agreed because I thought I was doing the right thing for my cat. Two weeks later my granddaughter found my beautiful persian cat dead. Called Summer Street Cat Clinic and told because it was Sunday there would be a charge for bringing him in. Told to keep him cold and take him Monday. Took him in and asked for an autopsy. Result was cardiomyopathy which it seems was undetected or ignored before and during the procedure. They now have a paw print there and when I asked if it could be mailed because a visit would be painful was told there would be a charge. Have already paid out hundreds of dollars and my cat is dead but will be charged for postage for the paw print. Greed,lies and insensitivity seem common in this practice. I am afraid to get another cat after this horrible experience My cat trusted me,I trusted Summer Street and although they made a profit my cat is dead. Go somewhere else. Stay away from Summer Street. Read Less

We have been going to Summer Street for about two years now and they have provided excellent care for our two cats. Dr. Levine and Dr. Otterson are attentive, intelligent, patient and kind and always make time to speak with us between visits. I appreciate the time they devote to educating pet owners in addition to treating their feline patients. Their vet techs & reception staff are excellent as well. Read Less
