I have to say I was a little disappointed at the empathy for a stray cat that was in dire need of assistance. I have a stray unneutured male that has been showing up for about 6 months at my home for a meal, care and love. I already have 3 other cats and a dog but was still willing to take on one more. My issue was the cat got hurt has been crying and limping for two days and I asked this Vet for some assistance for a couple of days until I got paid and then I would neutur him, as well as pay any extra cost beyond a Vet visit and pain medication which I could have paid for today. They simply said, no. They could not provide any discount or help with the bill or provide any care not paid in full. Pretty heartless considering his other options which I would never want to euthanize an animal just because the bill was a little more than I could come up with today. Pretty inhumane if you ask me. At least the Receptionist was kind and genuinely tried to help. Dr R though, seems could use a lesson in compassion.

I've only taken my kitten here once but they were all so kind hugging and kissing him! I couldn't imagine a bad experience. Such a great experience they took their time and were very thorough. He got a free wellness exam because I rescued him from the humane society and even though it was passed the week cut off date they honored it. Very very nice people all the staff I encountered and they gave me this info folder with so many good tips and facts in it! I will only take my kitties here from now on unless it's an absolute emergency then I will see my regular emergency vet.
I'll have you know I drove out of my way to them and it was worth it

Came here when cat was showing mild early signs of UTI, grown up with cats and been through this a few times. Recently moved to area and went to them because of location and ‘supposed’ good reviews. Was shocked by their unprofessionalism and complete disregard for our cats health. They just saw us as another way to drum up some revenue. The ‘doctor’ who eventually saw us determined within 3-4 minutes that heavy medication and surgery was only option. We paid $300 for something that’s always cost $140-160 at other places. Only used one of the meds for a few days and cat was back to normal within days. It’s been a week and no additional issues, with kitty, despite their ‘professional’ opinion that surgery was only option.

I love the Cat Doctor. My friend recommended The Cat Doctor to me (specifically Dr. Rosie and Dr. Craig) after several experiences with previpus vets. I do not live close to the clinic (about 20 miles away) but I am adamant about bringing all four of my cats to see Dr. Craig and Dr. Rosie. They are trustworthy, reasonable, and most importantly, great with cats. 💖

My kitty, Chi, has been seen by Dr. Netti several times since we moved from AZ in 2016. The last time was because of some GI issue. As she said "It'd be best to have some stool sample" and gave me a little container, Chi just went there on the floor. I was so embarrassed while choking for air and didn't know what to say other than profuse apologies but Dr. Netti just quickly scooped up his thing and put it in the container and said "Thank you. That saved the time!" I felt "saved" really. Her professional opinions are always on point, and a cherry on top, Chi is in love with her and her vet techs which makes the visit stress free. Highly recommended.

My cat Cirrus was literally dying. I took him to a vet close to home, and he could not figure out what was going on with my furry baby. He advised me to go see the cat doctor. I made an appointment, and they were able to get me in right away. Long story short, they were able to find out what was going on with Cirrus, and even though the chances were not great for survival, he pulled through. This was 5 years ago, and I am happy to say Cirrus is perfectly healthy to this day. They also treated my senior kitty, Buddha, for standard geriatric care. Buddha is a big boy (hence the name) and for once I didn't get a speech about his weight. I believe it was Dr. Craig who told me he is healthy, blood, urine, etc all fantastic, looks great, and would rather see a slight overweight than a malnourished kitty . Buddha just turned 16 and is still doing very very well.

My cat was 16 years old. He was my best friend. He was getting a lot of health issues due to his age. I had to put him to sleep so he wouldn't suffer. I went to the cat dr. They were extremely gentle and very kind and understanding. They treated my cat and i with wonderful respect and had great customer service. It was the most difficult day of my life. But they went above and beyond. They made me a heart of clay with his paw print and painted it orange just like him. They saved me a small bit of his hair in a little box with a ribbon. Then a week after, i recieved a card with his photo and warm wishes from all of their employees. It was wonderful and made my heart fill with happiness. This was the first time I had ever been there. We were not regular customers. I will now be a regular customer! I have never been treated to such great customer service!

My parents have been taking their cats here for years and they have always received the best in feline healthcare from these experienced, feline-focused veterinarians. When my partner and I adopted a 10-week-old kitten, The Cat Doctor was the first place we thought of to take him! He saw Dr. Rosie, who is amazing with little cats as well as adult cats, and she got us situated with their all-inclusive Well-Kitten Package for all of the necessary vaccinations, as well as 10% off neutering service. Overall, the service has been both high-quality and affordable. Even when I had concerns about our kitten's baby teeth, Dr. Rosie patiently explained not to worry, and she didn't even charge us for that appointment. My partner and I will never take our cat anywhere else!

Dr. Nettie is fantastic. One of my 4 kitties agrees she is a brilliant human who helps him feel better.Everybody is helpful and friendly here, and the facility is clean. There was no long waiting. The tech asked questions, took vital, and the doctor came in after that in a few minutes.We moved from Arizona this spring (2016) and the house we moved in wasn't quite ready for us cleanliness-wise. The place was filthy and very musty to the point we all got sick including myself - My husband was the only exception. 4 kitties and I, we all had some violent episodes of you-know-what. We all got better within a week, but our alpha kitty was suffering on and off for 3 weeks.Thus, I did my research on a good vet in the area.We have a 5-star animal clinic within walking distance but they were packed. They recommended other clinics in the area but based on my "extensive" study online, I decided "The Cat Doctor" was my 1st choice. I mean, I am a crazy cat person and this place is called "The Cat Doctor." Dr. Nettie is very gentle and very knowledgeable. I asked a rather uncommon question - lead poisoning and cats. She did not have to refer herself to big books but gave me the examples of lead poisoning symptoms on the spot and she was spot on.The insurance fees for the kitties are almost double "vs Arizona" but I felt that the pricing at this clinic is reasonable. I will return to this clinic for my kitties' veterinary needs in the future.

My experience with the cat doctor has been nothing short of exceptional. I am a very particular person, who has tried at great lengths to put my cats health and care in the best hands. I am 26 years old and I have had my furry family members since I was 14 years old, with this being said this is more than I pet to me. My cat is naturally thin with lots of energy. About a yeah and a half ago my cat started having excessive discharge from the eyes and then a runny nose was to follow. I would be given and antibiotics and for a while that helped. my cat would get temporally better for a while and then she would decline again but now followed by sever dehydration, trouble breathing and a low temperature. They would treat my cat with IV fluids, prescribe more antibiotics and after so long even that stopped working and my cat got more sicker more often. In this time I have financially exhausted myself paying for exams fee's (every visit) blood work (at multiple clinics) medications (antibiotics) special food, and overnight hospitalization fees. (for the same repetitive treatments). After getting the help that I desperately needed from Dr. Craig at The Cat Doctor, I then realized an additional thing every other pet clinic or hospital failed to do in all this time and that is be given an adequate referral, even when ask, as I have done many, many times. After two visit with Dr. Craig he was able to give me an accurate diagnosis and being the process or reviving my cats health. He is more both more knowledgeable, and informative than most. The prices are exceptionally reasonable, and they staff he has are superior as well. I urge you to start here, where you cats health is catered to and is truly the number one priority. I wish I would have come here first, and I hope you do. I will never go anywhere else. I give this pace 100,000 stars!

My cat had diarrhea for 2 weeks, which I know is a long time, but everything else was fine. I brought him in and we saw Dr. Rosie. She was gentle and did an exam. Prescribed some Probiotics (which I liked) and a mild antibiotic, which was very bitter and my cat hated. Everyone we met was very nice and kind. We even got a poop chute buzz so he could keep clean. Unfortunately the treatment didn't work.

After I had to put my sweet cat Onyx to sleep they sent me a very nice card in the mail signed by the entire staff. They did the same years earlier with two of our other kitties. Although they can be pricier than other clinics it's worth it for the thorough and loving care they provide.

We adopted our 2 kitties from a shelter in 2012. Dr. Rosie is right around the corner from our house, so we thought it would be convenient and less stressful on the cats to just travel a short distance. I could not be more satisfied with the care we have received there.We recently lost one of our furry babies - very suddenly, just found her out in the driveway one morning, with no clue as to what happened. I sent an email to the office advising them of this so they could update the records. Shortly thereafter, we received a card in the mail -- with our baby's picture on the front and a touching verse on the inside and signed by the entire staff. My eyes leaked. Veterinary expertise is important, but so is compassion and heart. And there is an abundance of both here. Kudos to the entire office!

Dr Rosie is great! One of my cats has suffered from runny stools his entire life (he is 6 years old). His previous vet had settled for it being a "normal" condition for him. Dr. Rosie recommended a medication and food change and for the first time ever my cat is not suffering from constant diarrhea. Having 2 Sphynx cats one of which suffers from a heart condition and is under the care of a cardiologist, it's wonderful to have found a trustworthy vet that is specialized in treating cats.I really appreciate the follow up calls done by her and the technicians. If you are seeking a vet for your cat give The Cat Doctor a visit.

When we began to question the care our cat was getting from a prior veterinarian (we had been to several vets with our cat), our pet sitter suggested we might like to try Cat Doctor. We began with a wellness visit, just to check them out, and now we will take our kitty nowhere else! We can tell she is handled with kindness and love by the way she behaves, and the communication with the doctors and staff is top notch.
The vets at Cat Doctor truly do "think outside the box," pursuing the most effective and least invasive care possible. And they are willing to discuss all options when facing an expensive care situation. We have found we get a better value for our vet dollars because the care is tailored to our cat's individual needs. We only wish many of the "people" physicians we have been to in the past had as much compassion and professionalism as this veterinarian service does!

I have to say that the veterinarian that I took my cat to see was amazing!!!!!!!! Dr. Tebeau aka Dr.Craig on some of the other posts was awesome. I went there through a program for free spays for cats and had a voucher. He not only had her there for 2 days to make sure she was ok, but also treated her for a sensitivity from fleas she had had a while back. She had been scratching herself to death and he treated that issue for no additional charge. I am on a limited income and he really showed care and concern for my furbaby Aphrodites. He was prompt and I felt secure in leaving her there. I didn't have to wait more than 5 min for him to come into the room. In case of any needed care that she may need in the future, I wouldn't hesitate whatsoever to return to have him see her. He exceeded all my expectations, and my kitty came home cuddly and happy to see me. They took very good care of her, and I don't hear of vets treating a pet for no charge honestly. I at the time had absolutely no extra money for anything and he was very kind to both of us. They even had complementary jars of cat nip out for you to take home for your kitty. :) Again I would NOT hesitate to return there with her for further care. I had an awesome experience with her spay being done there.

Dr. Rosie is a nice doctor and so are her staff. She took complimentary x-rays of a kitten we had. We had a whole litter, 9 total, and all were very ill. She was able to pinpoint some hypothesis as to why they were dying. They had air in the stomachs and fluid on the lungs in the xray and they were all massively losing weight. They were having discolored brown/red urine. She told me the chances of survival were pretty low. That night 2 more died for a total of 4 in under 12 hours. The last 5 were fading and I took them to The AEC and let them die in dignity instead of at home in pain. She treated my little Michael with a good heart. Thank you guys.

I have to say I was a little disappointed at the empathy for a stray cat that was in dire need of assistance. I have a stray unneutured male that has been showing up for about 6 months at my home for a meal, care and love. I already have 3 other cats and a dog but was still willing to take on one more. My issue was the cat got hurt has been crying and limping for two days and I asked this Vet for some assistance for a couple of days until I got paid and then I would neutur him, as well as pay any extra cost beyond a Vet visit and pain medication which I could have paid for today. They simply said, no. They could not provide any discount or help with the bill or provide any care not paid in full. Pretty heartless considering his other options which I would never want to euthanize an animal just because the bill was a little more than I could come up with today. Pretty inhumane if you ask me. At least the Receptionist was kind and genuinely tried to help. Dr R though, seems could use a lesson in compassion.

I've only taken my kitten here once but they were all so kind hugging and kissing him! I couldn't imagine a bad experience. Such a great experience they took their time and were very thorough. He got a free wellness exam because I rescued him from the humane society and even though it was passed the week cut off date they honored it. Very very nice people all the staff I encountered and they gave me this info folder with so many good tips and facts in it! I will only take my kitties here from now on unless it's an absolute emergency then I will see my regular emergency vet.
I'll have you know I drove out of my way to them and it was worth it

Came here when cat was showing mild early signs of UTI, grown up with cats and been through this a few times. Recently moved to area and went to them because of location and ‘supposed’ good reviews. Was shocked by their unprofessionalism and complete disregard for our cats health. They just saw us as another way to drum up some revenue. The ‘doctor’ who eventually saw us determined within 3-4 minutes that heavy medication and surgery was only option. We paid $300 for something that’s always cost $140-160 at other places. Only used one of the meds for a few days and cat was back to normal within days. It’s been a week and no additional issues, with kitty, despite their ‘professional’ opinion that surgery was only option.

I love the Cat Doctor. My friend recommended The Cat Doctor to me (specifically Dr. Rosie and Dr. Craig) after several experiences with previpus vets. I do not live close to the clinic (about 20 miles away) but I am adamant about bringing all four of my cats to see Dr. Craig and Dr. Rosie. They are trustworthy, reasonable, and most importantly, great with cats. 💖

My kitty, Chi, has been seen by Dr. Netti several times since we moved from AZ in 2016. The last time was because of some GI issue. As she said "It'd be best to have some stool sample" and gave me a little container, Chi just went there on the floor. I was so embarrassed while choking for air and didn't know what to say other than profuse apologies but Dr. Netti just quickly scooped up his thing and put it in the container and said "Thank you. That saved the time!" I felt "saved" really. Her professional opinions are always on point, and a cherry on top, Chi is in love with her and her vet techs which makes the visit stress free. Highly recommended.

My cat Cirrus was literally dying. I took him to a vet close to home, and he could not figure out what was going on with my furry baby. He advised me to go see the cat doctor. I made an appointment, and they were able to get me in right away. Long story short, they were able to find out what was going on with Cirrus, and even though the chances were not great for survival, he pulled through. This was 5 years ago, and I am happy to say Cirrus is perfectly healthy to this day. They also treated my senior kitty, Buddha, for standard geriatric care. Buddha is a big boy (hence the name) and for once I didn't get a speech about his weight. I believe it was Dr. Craig who told me he is healthy, blood, urine, etc all fantastic, looks great, and would rather see a slight overweight than a malnourished kitty . Buddha just turned 16 and is still doing very very well.

My cat was 16 years old. He was my best friend. He was getting a lot of health issues due to his age. I had to put him to sleep so he wouldn't suffer. I went to the cat dr. They were extremely gentle and very kind and understanding. They treated my cat and i with wonderful respect and had great customer service. It was the most difficult day of my life. But they went above and beyond. They made me a heart of clay with his paw print and painted it orange just like him. They saved me a small bit of his hair in a little box with a ribbon. Then a week after, i recieved a card with his photo and warm wishes from all of their employees. It was wonderful and made my heart fill with happiness. This was the first time I had ever been there. We were not regular customers. I will now be a regular customer! I have never been treated to such great customer service!

My parents have been taking their cats here for years and they have always received the best in feline healthcare from these experienced, feline-focused veterinarians. When my partner and I adopted a 10-week-old kitten, The Cat Doctor was the first place we thought of to take him! He saw Dr. Rosie, who is amazing with little cats as well as adult cats, and she got us situated with their all-inclusive Well-Kitten Package for all of the necessary vaccinations, as well as 10% off neutering service. Overall, the service has been both high-quality and affordable. Even when I had concerns about our kitten's baby teeth, Dr. Rosie patiently explained not to worry, and she didn't even charge us for that appointment. My partner and I will never take our cat anywhere else!

Highly recommend The Cat Doctor for all kitty care. Dr. Craig is so compassionate, friendly, knowledgeable and really takes time to discuss your cat's needs and options for care. Staff is great too. Very pleasant experience. They went above and beyond for an injured stray cat we had been feeding but unfortunately could not keep in our home. So happy to know Tigger will heal and get a new home.

I have been very pleased with the veterinarian services provided by The Cat Doctor Clinic. My husband and I have had experiences with sick cats, well cats, and boarding services at this clinic and would heartily recommend them. I hope you don't have a sick cat, but if you do, you will find caring, intelligent, and well-educated professionals to care for your pet here. The fees for services are very reasonable for the high quality care. Our experience has been nothing but positive.

Dr. Nettie is fantastic. One of my 4 kitties agrees she is a brilliant human who helps him feel better.Everybody is helpful and friendly here, and the facility is clean. There was no long waiting. The tech asked questions, took vital, and the doctor came in after that in a few minutes.We moved from Arizona this spring (2016) and the house we moved in wasn't quite ready for us cleanliness-wise. The place was filthy and very musty to the point we all got sick including myself - My husband was the only exception. 4 kitties and I, we all had some violent episodes of you-know-what. We all got better within a week, but our alpha kitty was suffering on and off for 3 weeks.Thus, I did my research on a good vet in the area.We have a 5-star animal clinic within walking distance but they were packed. They recommended other clinics in the area but based on my "extensive" study online, I decided "The Cat Doctor" was my 1st choice. I mean, I am a crazy cat person and this place is called "The Cat Doctor." Dr. Nettie is very gentle and very knowledgeable. I asked a rather uncommon question - lead poisoning and cats. She did not have to refer herself to big books but gave me the examples of lead poisoning symptoms on the spot and she was spot on.The insurance fees for the kitties are almost double "vs Arizona" but I felt that the pricing at this clinic is reasonable. I will return to this clinic for my kitties' veterinary needs in the future.

I know my cats will always get the best care no matter what the situation is!

My experience with the cat doctor has been nothing short of exceptional. I am a very particular person, who has tried at great lengths to put my cats health and care in the best hands. I am 26 years old and I have had my furry family members since I was 14 years old, with this being said this is more than I pet to me. My cat is naturally thin with lots of energy. About a yeah and a half ago my cat started having excessive discharge from the eyes and then a runny nose was to follow. I would be given and antibiotics and for a while that helped. my cat would get temporally better for a while and then she would decline again but now followed by sever dehydration, trouble breathing and a low temperature. They would treat my cat with IV fluids, prescribe more antibiotics and after so long even that stopped working and my cat got more sicker more often. In this time I have financially exhausted myself paying for exams fee's (every visit) blood work (at multiple clinics) medications (antibiotics) special food, and overnight hospitalization fees. (for the same repetitive treatments). After getting the help that I desperately needed from Dr. Craig at The Cat Doctor, I then realized an additional thing every other pet clinic or hospital failed to do in all this time and that is be given an adequate referral, even when ask, as I have done many, many times. After two visit with Dr. Craig he was able to give me an accurate diagnosis and being the process or reviving my cats health. He is more both more knowledgeable, and informative than most. The prices are exceptionally reasonable, and they staff he has are superior as well. I urge you to start here, where you cats health is catered to and is truly the number one priority. I wish I would have come here first, and I hope you do. I will never go anywhere else. I give this pace 100,000 stars!

My cat had diarrhea for 2 weeks, which I know is a long time, but everything else was fine. I brought him in and we saw Dr. Rosie. She was gentle and did an exam. Prescribed some Probiotics (which I liked) and a mild antibiotic, which was very bitter and my cat hated. Everyone we met was very nice and kind. We even got a poop chute buzz so he could keep clean. Unfortunately the treatment didn't work.

I've taken my cats here for over 10 years and I absolutely love how they care for both their feline and human customers. After I had to put my sweet cat Onyx to sleep they sent me a very nice card in the mail signed by the entire staff. They did the same years earlier with two of our other kitties. Although they can be pricier than other clinics it's worth it for the thorough and loving care they provide.

I have taken my kitties here a few times beginning about ten years ago. I have always had the most courteous service, everyone is very caring. I found them after first taking my kitties to two other Veterinary Clinics in Federal Way, both of which were very unhappy experiences. I wish I had taken them to the Cat Doctor from the beginning. Dr. Nettie Tebeau has been exceptional every visit. She is knowledgeable, respectful and really has the family's best interest at heart. We are lucky to have this clinic in Federal Way!

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! This is the best cat vet there is! I took my two boys here today and Dr. Craig was wonderful! He really took his time with both cats and was incredibly thorough, kind and caring, loving on my boys like they were his own. I have been to MANY vets. I'm telling you... If you want a doctor that's not just incredibly knowledgeable but actually CARES about your pet... this is the place for you. He was also incredibly honest and didn't try to charge me or put any pressure on me for treatments. The entire atmosphere of the place was very loving, honest and down to earth. I drove all the way from Renton in rush our to see him... It was WORTH IT! He took amazing care of my cats and I fully trust him with my boys for all future vet visits and recommend him to any cat owners! Thanks Cat Doctor and thanks Dr Craig! You were perrrrrfect! :)

We adopted our 2 kitties from a shelter in 2012. Dr. Rosie is right around the corner from our house, so we thought it would be convenient and less stressful on the cats to just travel a short distance. I could not be more satisfied with the care we have received there.We recently lost one of our furry babies - very suddenly, just found her out in the driveway one morning, with no clue as to what happened. I sent an email to the office advising them of this so they could update the records. Shortly thereafter, we received a card in the mail -- with our baby's picture on the front and a touching verse on the inside and signed by the entire staff. My eyes leaked. Veterinary expertise is important, but so is compassion and heart. And there is an abundance of both here. Kudos to the entire office!

Dr Rosie is great! One of my cats has suffered from runny stools his entire life (he is 6 years old). His previous vet had settled for it being a "normal" condition for him. Dr. Rosie recommended a medication and food change and for the first time ever my cat is not suffering from constant diarrhea. Having 2 Sphynx cats one of which suffers from a heart condition and is under the care of a cardiologist, it's wonderful to have found a trustworthy vet that is specialized in treating cats.I really appreciate the follow up calls done by her and the technicians. If you are seeking a vet for your cat give The Cat Doctor a visit.

Honest and thorough. Very caring vet that puts the cat's needs first.
We took our cat that had lost 2 lbs in just a manner of weeks. We tried minimal medication and testing. The Dr used his experience to give us quick, educated suggestions and options. He took the time to talk with us about our cats care.
If your cat is part of your family and not an afterthought, you will be glad you tried this vet. Your cat will be happy you did.

When we began to question the care our cat was getting from a prior veterinarian (we had been to several vets with our cat), our pet sitter suggested we might like to try Cat Doctor. We began with a wellness visit, just to check them out, and now we will take our kitty nowhere else! We can tell she is handled with kindness and love by the way she behaves, and the communication with the doctors and staff is top notch.
The vets at Cat Doctor truly do "think outside the box," pursuing the most effective and least invasive care possible. And they are willing to discuss all options when facing an expensive care situation. We have found we get a better value for our vet dollars because the care is tailored to our cat's individual needs. We only wish many of the "people" physicians we have been to in the past had as much compassion and professionalism as this veterinarian service does!

I have to say that the veterinarian that I took my cat to see was amazing!!!!!!!! Dr. Tebeau aka Dr.Craig on some of the other posts was awesome. I went there through a program for free spays for cats and had a voucher. He not only had her there for 2 days to make sure she was ok, but also treated her for a sensitivity from fleas she had had a while back. She had been scratching herself to death and he treated that issue for no additional charge. I am on a limited income and he really showed care and concern for my furbaby Aphrodites. He was prompt and I felt secure in leaving her there. I didn't have to wait more than 5 min for him to come into the room. In case of any needed care that she may need in the future, I wouldn't hesitate whatsoever to return to have him see her. He exceeded all my expectations, and my kitty came home cuddly and happy to see me. They took very good care of her, and I don't hear of vets treating a pet for no charge honestly. I at the time had absolutely no extra money for anything and he was very kind to both of us. They even had complementary jars of cat nip out for you to take home for your kitty. :) Again I would NOT hesitate to return there with her for further care. I had an awesome experience with her spay being done there.

You couldn't ask much more from a vet for your cat. Our cat was a difficult situation, required lots of extra care and Dr Craig and coworkers were always professional, compassionate, and sincere. On multiple occasions they went above and beyond, and in particular Dr Craig himself exceeded my expectations many times. We wanted to do our best for our cat, and had to make hard decisions and he helped us without being pushy, and gave sound advice.I consider myself lucky that his office happened to be close enough to us, and hope he sticks around for as long as I ever have cats.

I am absolutely certain that Marvin's last few years of life (he lived to just a few months shy of 20 years old) were much more comfortable and enjoyable for him thanks to the great care that he received at The Cat Doctor. He received care above and beyond what other vets would have done for him. My only regret is not taking him to The Cat Doctor sooner. I highly recommend The Cat Doctor.

Dr Craig has been treating my Rockie for little under a year now. I'm so very happy with how he is caring for Rockie. Rockie's IBD has really improved, and our household has been restored to a happy, furry-purry place. I trust Dr Craig cares deeply about his Feline clients, and I trust his process to develop treatment plans. This Vet is about all things Feline which resonates with my own deep connection to cat-kind. It's a great fit for both Rockie and me.

This is the best veterinary clinic I have ever been to. Clean and caring, sympathetic staff. Dr. Craig is wonderful. He was super understanding and didn't force me to spend more money than I was able to. He told me he sets an HOUR aside for each patient. Unheard of! He was wonderful with my sweet but very over stimulated kitty. I won't be taking her anywhere else. The Cat Doctor is the place for your meow meows!

We adopted an adult cat a year ago and the cat doctor has been wonderful. They've offered solutions for all of our kitty's needs and they are so helpful, patient and friendly! We've boarded him there 3 times and each time has been wonderful. I also find them to be very reasonably priced! :-) I definitely recommend taking your feline friend here. And scheduling is great with Saturday appointments!

We would not take our cat anywhere else. Here she is treated like family, and loved by the staff . . . even though she is not the most social critter in the world.

Dr. Rosie is a nice doctor and so are her staff. She took complimentary x-rays of a kitten we had. We had a whole litter, 9 total, and all were very ill. She was able to pinpoint some hypothesis as to why they were dying. They had air in the stomachs and fluid on the lungs in the xray and they were all massively losing weight. They were having discolored brown/red urine. She told me the chances of survival were pretty low. That night 2 more died for a total of 4 in under 12 hours. The last 5 were fading and I took them to The AEC and let them die in dignity instead of at home in pain. She treated my little Michael with a good heart. Thank you guys.

Jeremy and I are so grateful for the care and compassion Dr. Rosie and all the staff at The Cat Doctor of Federal Way have given us. They have been Lily's vet from the day we adopted her 10 years ago, and they were a big part of giving her the best life we could. If you need a vet for your feline friend, I can't say enough good about them.
