Doctor Marshal and his staff deliver fabulous care in a professional and very caring manner. They consider the welfare of the cat and try options that have the least impact on them and my wallet. The staff go way above and beyond to deliver the best care in a very considerate manor. I trust them to what is necessary as they are saving the life of my sweet Ella! Read Less

Long time patients. Dr. Marshall saved our first cat's life. He was even on the phone to vet schools around the country looking for options. If you love your kitty, you will never take them anywhere else. He truly is the very best there is. Read Less

Both Dr. Marshall and Dr Ronngren are amazing Vets.  They always remember every little detail about our cats.  We've had some complex medical issues, and they have solutions that are compatible with our cats temperaments.  They don't push extra and expensive testing like other clinics.  Our extended family has been coming to this clinic for at least 2 decades.

Wow!!! I've had pets for over four decades and this was the best place I've seen. The staff was extremely friendly and compassionate toward my terrified cat, and the vet really listened and did a great job of explaining our options. Fast, friendly, professional and definitely a place that connects with each pet that came in.  Highly recommend!!! Read Less

This was my first experience with Island Cats and everything went smoothly. From the front Desk to the Technicians and of course, Dr. Ronngren, it was a pleasant experience. Everyone was accommodating and friendly. Zep and I will be back! Read Less

Dr. Ronnegren was SO kind and caring to our elderly adoptee. Not being a "cat person," I appreciated that Dr. Ronnegren took the time to explain our cat's current health and potential geriatric issues.The staff from the receptionist to the vet techs were just as caring of our cat and her need for urgent care.

I came to Island Cats after having a mediocre experience with another vet and I heard good things. I've now been taking both my cats here for years, and they are in excellent health. The doctors are fabulous and take their time to explain things, and the staff is a dream. Even my cats like it here. I can't gush enough about Island Cats. Read Less

I can't say often enough how happy we are with our switch to Island Cats. Dr. Marshall and Dr. Kirsten have improved our cats' quality of life, taken our concerns seriously, and gotten our many medical needs under control. Happy and Healthier, the Vogts Read Less

Our cats have been entrusted with confidence to Dr Marshall and his dedicated crew since they first opened their doors and together we have been through so many experiences both joyful and sad. The whole staff I have found always to be knowledgeable, caring enthusiastic, understanding and sympathetic when the occasion demanded and I would take our cats nowhere else. Why would I? Pickle and I thank you for being here. Read Less

I had heard great things from a couple I cat-sit for and when I brought my own kitty in I saw for myself how kind and caring the staff at Island Cats are. Dr. Marshall didn't dismiss any of my paranoid ramblings about my young cat's behaviors and was really professional and honest about possible treatments and causes. I felt like I came away with real knowledge and a plan for how to tackle the small things I was worried about. I thought the pricing was very fair with no extra costs tacked on. I really liked the staff, who all came in to see Cheedo and give her affection and treats. I'm so relieved to have found a cats-only clinic that I can trust. Thank you Island Cats! Read Less

We have had such a great experience at Island Cats over the years. Dr. Marshall and the team were so helpful and caring as we worked with Miss Kitty aging through her 17 years. We look forward to having them care for our new cat companion that is on the horizon. Read Less

Dr. Gary Marashall is amazing with cats, my family has been taking our pets here for years. From everything to anything Dr. Marshall can help treat any of your cats. Especially if they like to get in cat fights. Last year I took my kitten Salem to Dr. for dietary issues. Dr. Marshall was great on running tests and narrowing it down and helping find the best diet for Salem. What I love the most is Island cats really cares about your kitties and listens to what your concerns are. I feel Island cats is some of the best cat care you can find in Seattle and I am so thankful for all their help over the years! Read Less

Doesn't get any better than this. From the moment you walk in the door, everyone is friendly and professional. Dr. Marshall and his assistants were extremely patient w/ a less than cooperative kitty. Cats well-being is #1 priority. No high-pressure tactics. Many thanks! Read Less

The knowledge and expertise at Island Cats is excellent. The staff are all loving, caring, and have great attention to detail and follow up. We have been seeing Dr. Marshall for almost 20 years, and some of his staff have been there almost that long. The staff and clients have that loyalty because Dr. Marshall is a great doctor and employer. Read Less

My wife and I gave Dr. Gary Marshall and Island Cats our business for about 2 years, primarily because of the close proximity of the business to our home. We have recently taken our business elsewhere, due to our last experience with Dr. Marshall, and the real lack of integrity and ethics it exposed. Our cat had a very serious health issue, and Dr. Marshall was nice enough to squeeze a visit with her into his schedule at short notice. However, as he later admitted, he really did not have the facilities to handle a problem as complicated as hers. So he essentially wasted our time by keeping our cat at his office for several hours while she waited to see him. To make matters worse, our cat was released to my wife with no advice or diagnosis whatsoever. Apparently Dr. Marshall was too busy to talk to my wife at that time, even though our cat was in a very serious way, and Dr. Marshall had not been able to help her. In fact, he had misdiagnosed her status, as was confirmed later when we had to take her to an emergency vet hospital. Dr. Marshall really failed to communicate with us in any kind of timely or useful fashion, and became extremely defensive when I raised this issue with him. So defensive, in fact, that he resorted to several misstatements (okay...lies) about what had really happened and what his diagnosis had been. To add insult to injury, Dr. Marshall charged us a small fee for ""boarding"" our cat while she waited to see him. This had not been previously discussed or approved. When I suggested to Dr. Marshall that this fee might not be appropriate, he would not consider waiving it. Keep in mind that I had paid several thousand dollars in inflated fees over the course of 2 years with Dr. Marshall, with no complaint, and that I was asking for a refund of $12.50! Also keep in mind that Dr. Marshall utterly failed to alleviate (or diagnose) our cat's condition, and essentially just caused her further stress by delaying proper treatment. If I were him, I would have been embarrassed to accept any fee at all! As I said to Dr. Marshall, everyone occasionally makes a mistake. I actually don't assume that he is an incompetent vet. It was the lack of communication, and the subsequent defensiveness and dishonesty that caused me to seek another vet. I was really quite shocked at the lack of integrity displayed. May 24th: Just thought I'd provide an update to my last review: One of the things we spent a lot of money on with Dr. Marshall over the course of 2 years, was our cat's mysterious, undiagnosed limp. We must have had her examined 3-4 times by Dr. Marshall, in an attempt to get to the bottom of this, including sedating her and taking very expensive X-rays! After we ended our relationship with Dr. Marshall, we took our cat to a new vet, who promptly discovered that one of her claws had curled back and grown into her pad. He did a minor operation to clip the claw back and dress the wound. Presto! Our cat no longer limps. I may have to revise my assumption that Dr. Marshall is not incompetent... Read Less
