On a Tuesday morning after a 3 day weekend, I was in desperate need to find a Vet that could check out the health of feral kittens. After making contact with a few, and finding that appointments were booked out for up to 2.5 weeks, Β I contacted a friend, and she suggested that I look into Mountain View as they do walk-ins. I immediately called and was able to schedule an appointment that day.Being the mama of new babies, I was a nervous wreck about how their first vet visit was going to go. Mountain View is nice in set-up; they have a door for cats and a door for dogs, both waiting areas separated by the front desk. So though my two little kitties were terrified of the back ground dog barks, they were not in direct contact of the fear.I had a short wait in which I attempted to calm the kittens, and then was brought to a doctor-y backroom to weigh them and do a quick once over. Soon after, Doctor Kanda Hazelwood joined me to discuss the kitties. Β She was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful with answering all my questions. She will forever be my kitties doctor.After we discussed the kitties, and Kanda looked them over in this room, she took them into a back-back room to administer a little vaccine, de-worming and to clip their baby claws. --About a week after the kittens were situated, I started noticing that a few weren't eating and starting to throw up. I immediately got them in for an appointment. After a lot of blood work, I was told by Kanda that they have distemper. I was a wreck and couldn't keep it together at the clinic. I went through with all of the treatments, and Kanda kept me updated on their statuses the entire time: making daily phone calls [for almost 2 weeks], and she even came in on her day off to check in on them. Β I'm eternally grateful for the love and care my babies got. The staff at Mountain View went so far above and beyond to keep them in great health. --Subsequently, anytime I've stopped in (apparently bringing feral cats to full health is harder than it seems), I've had many vet techs will ask me how the kittens are - they worked with them extensively when the kitties were sick and quarantined, and I really think the staff fell in love with them, in a sense. It makes me feel extremely comfortable bringing the cats here... Dr. Kanda and the staff seriously only want the best for them,Though this clinic is a fairly long drive for me, it's one that I am happy to make when it comes to the health of the kitties. I have made this drive more times than I would have liked within the last month, but it's what the kitties needed. I've been really happy with the service that the cats received - how nicely they were treated, and how friendly the atmosphere felt. My babies will be life long patients at Mountain View. Read Less
