I took my cat here for 8 years and initially felt welcome, my cat well considered and cared for...Dr. Sikule was great! Frankly I think they got too big...opened a second office in Saratoga with a nice staff, but I didn't see Dr. Sikule again...heard her on a call in show, but no sign in offices. I have an anxious cat (hissy, growls, but no bite or claw) -- all talk & squirm. He was labeled as aggressive and I was asked to handle him...one staffer said they were afraid of being bitten. So 'Just Cats' was afraid of a cat? Strike 1.He lost 4 lbs in 5 months and when his expensive bloodwork and fecal came back normal, after waiting over a week and calling them back, they wanted more blood tests. Strike 2 for taking so long, me having to follow-up after being told they would, and for wanting me to out the cat through more as the only option presented.They like to test, test, test, costing a lot of money and a lot of upset for the animal. Never a discussion of less invasive options (or cheaper). Got second opinion from another vet. She listened, suggested a few options, including changing food as he may have developed an allergy/intolerance (he's9). That did the trick -- less stressed cat, out on healthy weight! So Strike 3!Unfortunately, this vet no longer delivers the level of care I expect for their prices and specialty and lack of empathy for cat or guardian. Happily, my new vet is accommodating, does not believe in test, test, test and almost half the price for conscientious care. Read Less
