They killed my 5 month old 5 pound kitten after overdosing him on sedatives. We took Drake in to get neutered and about an hour before they closed we received a call telling us that his heart had stopped beating and instead of working to save his life they decided to call me and ask if I wanted him resuscitated when I had already checked yes in the paperwork. When we got there he was the last cat to have gotten operated on and it became clear to us that they were too concerned with their closing duties to give him the proper care. They allowed us to go in the back where he was on oxygen and the facility was dirty and the workers were impatient. We asked them what could be done and they were extremely negative, blaming Drake for not surviving the cocktail of sedatives that they had given him. I then asked one of the ladies how we were going to transport him to the emergency hospital in E Syracuse to which she responded, "we have no idea, we didn't think you would want to take it that far." Uhm what?! He's apart of our family of course we are going to do anything in our power to save him. After I told her this she called the hospital and told them that she had been working on three cats at a time, gave Drake his sedative and focused her attention on the other two cats. She overdosed him on his sedative which made his heart stop beating and was not even aware of it until she had finished up with the other cats. We don't know how long he was like that because when we asked she said she did not know. We trusted them with our Drake, our baby boy, only to have his precious life taken away from us. We asked that they keep him on oxygen in the hopes he would wake up, they said they would give him 30 more minutes (keep in mind that they were closing and he was the last cat). After 30 minutes they pressured us into making a decision and, after realizing we couldn't afford the hospital, we chose to take him home and pray for a miracle. We told them to take everything off of him and as they were doing that, another worker came over with the intention of euthanizing him having the needle drawn and everything. My stepfather was mortified and demanded that they stop all the while the workers are telling us that we should get going. No remorse, no intentions of saving him past their closing time, nothing. As we were leaving, Drake wrapped in a blanket unaware of what was happening, unresponsive to the environment, the ladies did not even issue us an apology, only guessing that he would live for another hour because I guess that's just what a grieving family wants to hear. We also had to go back for our refund and after it was refunded, one lady had the audacity to tell us to leave a voicemail and let her know when he passes because she was "curious". We dropped him off a healthy, playful kitten and drove home a comatose, dying kitten only to have him pass in our arms hours later. Please, I urge you to go to a different vet center. I know the price is attractive but the quality and the way the vets were working on him and the others was like a conveyer belt, they kicked it into autopilot and were careless and sloppy. He was a 5 pound kitten... how much sedative did they give him to make him slip into a coma? They do not care about your animals, as we were leaving one worker tried to say something but didn't even know what his name was as if he meant nothing to her, and as if she felt no regret for what they had done to our baby.
