I took my five month old kitten in for her first vet visit. She got shots, spayed, and micro chipped. The woman who took my information misspelled my name and email address, despite me spelling them out, so all our paperwork was incorrect. When we picked her up the vet was super kind, said there was nothing to report, and that everything went fine. When the kitten was brought out she was extremely distressed, was relieved to see us, but meowed the whole way home. Right as we got home, despite just having surgery, she ate a bowl and a half of food, so I don't think she ate anything for the whole day she was there. Her incision looks great and she calmed down after being home and eating. But we noticed she was walking tentatively and, upon examining her paws, we see that her claws had been hacked up to all different lengths. Four of the quicks in her feet were completely exposed and she was bleeding. I immediately called them and asked why they had done that. Instead of an apology for hurting my kitten, I'm regaled with a story about how she had been so afraid she wouldn't come out of her box, so they pulled her out with a net, she scratched them, and they "trimmed" her claws. The woman complained about how difficult it is to trim claws, as if I didn't know this myself despite having done it successfully for five months. She advised we have her sedate for her next visit and said she should be fine. So, what you're telling me is a bunch of professionals couldn't handle a frighten kitten, she acted out, and you aggressively handled her, harmed her, and I wasn't informed of it while I was standing in the office. . . That doesn't sound like a smooth visit to the vet to me! I'm furious. This is my first cat and I'm shocked at how she was treated. So, unless you want to pay someone to abuse and harm your fur baby, I would suggest avoiding this place.Read Less
