Just Cats Hospital

Everyone here is great! You cannot get better care for your cat! I have been coming to Just Cats for about 8 years. First with Dr. Schoenberg and now with Dr. Pizzuli. I refer all my friends with cats to Just Cats. Read Less

We came in to Cleveland from out of state to visit family and we brought our 14 year old cat with us. She went into seizures the following day and Just Cats got us in IMMEDIATELY. She got our cat stable within minutes (blood sugar was 27!!) and got us transferred to VCA Great Lakes right after, even drawing some extra blood so we would not be double charged. She followed up with additional recommendations for additional testing back in our hometown location and gave me a complete and detailed analysis of what she thought was going on with our cat. She is a gem - Cleveland is lucky to have her. Thank you, Dr. Pizzuli!! Read Less

Dr. Pizzuli at Just Cats has been caring for my pets for several years. She is professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. We love the personal vibe afforded by a smaller practice and seeing friendly faces at every visit! I highly reccomend Just Cats to anyone looking for veterinary care in the area—they will take great care of you and your cats! Read Less

This women allowed my cat to die because she did not properly provide urgent care when needed. My husband took our cat to her on Wednesday because he hasn't been feeling well. We understand he is immunocompromised, because she has had him on long term steriod therapy. When he gets there she does the usual assessment and gives him iv fluids because he was dehydrated and ran a bunch of blood work. When my husband got home I asked what happened. I looked over the bill and asked why she didn't give an antibiotic? He said he wasn't sure, and also was telling me how she was shocked we gave him chicken broth because it's not in his diet. YET she told us months ago to feed him whatever he wanted. We decided to continue his special diet going against her opinion. He was so sick the only thing he would do is lap up broth. I mentioned to my husband this is weird she's upset over the diet when she told us don't worry about what he eats anymore. I said it feels like she forgot who he was even though she sees him so often. The next day we get a call from her stating we should discuss starting chemotherapy and YES HE DOES NEED THE ANTIBIOTIC, BUT IM NOT IN TODAY COME TOMORROW. I told my husband I'm disgusted by this. She allowed an immunocompromised cat leave her office with a diagnosis of URI, and now we have to wait. The antibiotic should have been given, even just as A PROPHYLACTIC measure! That night I watched my cats status decrease infront of my eyes. I kept telling him hold on buddy it's an infection we can make it. At around 4 am i felt he was becoming acidotic, I started looking into an er, but put my faith in this women, and went against my own insticts and continued to hold him as his life wasn slipping away. He kept making noises that was as if he was saying help me. I felt helpless. My husband rushed him to the office at 8am, she takes a look at him and says she can't help him take him to the er now. SHE PROCEEDED TO BLAME MY HUSBAND AS TO WHY SHE DID NOT ADMINISTER THE ANTIBIOTIC BECAUSE HE MENTIONED THE CAT LOOKED BETTER TODAY COMPARED TO THE OTHER DAY. HE TOLD HER IM NOT A DOCTOR. YOU LET A SEVERELY DEHYDRATED AND IMMUNOCOMPROMISED CAT LEAVE YOUR OFFICE WITHOUT ANTIBIOTICS WHEN HE DESPERATELY/URGENTLY NEEDED THEM. At the er my husband had me on speaker phone. They started off by saying his lactic acid was 7 and his ABGS were 7.25. I asked if it was close to being MODS and she said YES. My cat was in septic shock because our vet was more concerned about bleeding our wallets for blood work than providing antibiotic therapy! My husband came home and we got our 3 month old son ready to go say goodbye to our cat we had for 12.5 years. When I got there they brought him to us and i couldn't let him go. I looked into his eyes.. they were fixed and dilated.. there was no turning back. The vet came in and explained after reading his chart he had IBD and cancer for some time. Just pets never gave the diagnosis of IBD and we just assumed that's what it was. And early last year she ruled out cancer, we were relieved - this is something you do not forget! In October she recommended we clean his teeth because he had a good bill of health! Why would you clean the teeth of a cat silently battling cancer? Why did we not discuss chemotherapy or palliative care?? What she is unaware is I am a nurse who specializes in critical care. Do not EVER tell me antibiotics wouldn't have worked. His lab values from Wednesday to Saturday changed. Wednesday his kidney and pancreas were fine. ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY WOULD HAVE PREVENTED MY CAT DYING A MISERABLE DEATH FROM SEPTIC SHOCK. We could have focused on palliative care or chemotherapy, but it was never an option until it was too late. I will neve forgive myself for not advocating for my cat & just going by her word. I am crushed I helped her let him go the way he did. Not matter what you say or want to post to make yourself look good under this. YOU LET AN IMMUNOCOMPROMISED CAT LEAVE YOUR OFFICE WITHOUT ANTIBIOTICS! What in the world were you doing? Read Less

My kitty family and I have spent plenty of time at this vet office and I could not possibly be anymore comfortable with the service we've received. The knowledge Dr. Pizzuli and her team have leaves you and your kitties feeling like you're in the best hands. No matter where we move to in Cleveland, we'll always make the drive to keep this vet!

I hate a cat emergency this afternoon and they were nice enough to squeeze me in. So, I rushed my senior tuxedo in. We were seen immediately. The Vet looked her over and got some urine. Because of her age (19) it's clear from her urine she's in kidney failure. But, we got some blood work just to be on the safe side. We gave her some fluids and she ate. A LOT! She hadn't eaten in 24 hours. It was a bit on the expensive side. But, my baby is worth it. Read Less

I've been bringing my kitty to see Dr. Pizzuli for the past few months. Dr. Pizzuli has done a great job at everything from cleaning my cat's teeth to general health maintenance. Her office staff are so nice and really make me feel like my cat is special. They even gave my cat a catnip treat for her good behavior! I've never been to a vet that has done that before!Just a word about parking there. There is a private lot behind the building, though once when I pulled into the driveway off Mayfield, there was a parked car blocking my way into the lot. I was told that the driveway entrance on Mayfield is owned by the building next door and that it is better to access the lot from Grantleigh road. Read Less

We took our cat to Dr Pizzuli for a second opinion based on a neighbor's recommendation. Our cat was very sick and our prior Vet didn't know why. She was very caring and thorough and even stayed late that night to perform emergent surgery on him. Without that surgery, his problem would have been fatal. I can't recommend her enough! Read Less

I have been using Just Cats since they opened years ago. I have always received the best top notch care for all of my cats. Dr. Schoenberg is very knowledgeable and I wouldn't entrust my cats to anyone else. TOP NOTCH care. Read Less

Misdiagnosed my cat's very obvious heart problem for over two years.  Looking up the symptoms made us believe it was a heart condition (this was after several visits, paying for pointless xrays and useless antibiotics.)We finally switched vets and went to Mandel.  What a difference!  Within 3 minutes, we had a correct diagnosis; but unfortunately the problem had been untreated for so long that it was too late.  We had to send the cat to a special cat cardiologist by that point, who confirmedMandel's diagnosis.Save yourself some money (and your pet) and skip this vet!

I switched my cats to this vet after I was unhappy with my past vet.A friend of mine goes here and she told me she loved their service. I couldn't be happier with my decision.I'm completely impressed. The building seems to be nothing from the street but inside it shows that they are here to help cats. The staff is honest, informative and educated. Dr. Schoenberg loves cats and knows cats well! Nothing I ask comes back unanswered.When my cat needed a specialist Dr. Schoenberg suggested one, forwarded our cat's paperwork and proceeded to keep in constant contact with the specialist even calling us after we met up with the other doctor. She truly cares about the pets she cares for and she is currently working with the specialist to keep our kitty healthy. Thank you Dr. Schoenberg! Read Less

Dr. Schoenberg is completely down to earth and will tell you exactly how it is.  But be prepared to hear it - if you don't brush your kitty's teeth or clip it's nails you will be reminded how important it is!!  This is a small office which I love and the Dr will either take your call when you are on the phone with her receptionist or call you right back.  The personal service is great!!  The reminder that I'm not the always the best kitty mommy not nice to hear, but true nonetheless!!

Bringing my cat in for the first time, I was very disappointed. I felt like I was not being heard, and the problems that my cat was experiencing were not being addressed. I left the office no closer to understanding what was wrong (or possibly wrong) than when I walked in. In addition to not being heard, I was talked at, not to. And I was talked at like I was an idiot. I do not need to be coddled by my vet, but I would like to be able to ask questions and have them answered. I brought in paperwork of her previous lab work and vacs, and yet one of the same tests were performed, without my consent, and I was thus charged. Believe me, I am not afraid to drop money when it comes to the welfare of my cat. However, nor do I like to waste it on unnecessarily repeated tests, and be made to feel guilty by thinking this way. In conclusion, I walked out $200 bucks shorter and my cat walked out with the same problems she went in with. Read Less
