If there is emergency, he is never overbooked enough to reject the cat. And I do not know how can he keep his vet prices so low. His skills have been invaluable. I travel min 45 minutes to his cat clinic, and wouldnt go to any other vet in my area. read less

Jim is a brilliant and caring vet. His specialist knowledge of cats is rare to find. I would recommend to anyone who wants the best veterinary care for their cat.

My darling boy had been in pain with a second bout of pancreatitis and was recovering only to go downhill quickly again.He’d been in the vet hospital in Mornington two weeks ago where they’d done countless scans blood work and tests, nothing showed up other than an inflamed pancreas and liver, he was given pain relief and my vet supported the diagnosis when I took him for follow up appointments.I knew it was odd for him to go downhill so quickly and so soon again after almost recovering fully and by the fate of the universe my vet was unavailable so I went to cat lovers who had been recommended to me. In no time, the vet had noticed the bloodwork that had been done showed signs of cancer which wasn’t picked up by the Mornington hospital vets or my usual vet in main ridge. The vet knew to check for tumours and unfortunately found a tumour on my boys pancreas and multiple tumours elsewhere which were again not picked up in previous scans by the hospital or my vet. Unfortunately, there was nothing else I could do as he had cancer and tumours and was in pain. He is an older cat, and it was just his time to go 😭The vet and the vet nurses couldn’t have been more compassionate or kind. They supported me, reassured me I was doing the right thing and gave me as much time as I needed to say goodbye to the light of my life and my constant companion for many years. They understood how much he meant to me.To top it off, they made prints of my baby’s paws and nose, gave me a vial of his hair and didn’t charge me a cent.I’m so glad my vet wasn’t available today because this could have drawn out longer with my baby in pain and stress, I thank god I went to cat lovers because I now have answers and know I did the right thing by my boy. The vet was so experienced and professional and found answers to his condition that the hospital and my vet couldn’t find over weeks in a matter of minutes.Thank you cat lovers for making such a horrible experience and such an awful time that much more bearable and for honouring and caring for my boy. I’ll be forever grateful read less

I can foresee myself coming back here even after moving away to other suburbs.Comfirmed: moved away, still coming back here. My kitties are lucky to have such a good vet

He is able to conduct a blood test in real time, even as you wait. The reason why we go is because the Vet does not feel like a large warehouse of animals. This is unique when it comes to CATS, sometimes he needs to tell us what we need to know.I could never be a vet, but i'm happy to know where to go. HERE read less

We went for our first visit today after a traumatic experience at our usual vet and were beyond impressed. Our cat recently got his annual vaccines at his usual vet and things didn’t go as well as usual. They were pretty rough on him and it ended up in everyone getting bit and him accidentally relieving himself on the exam table. To make things worse, most of our questions were brushed off and we felt like we got rushed out the door. It was time to look for a new vet.After many google/yelp searches, we found the Vet Set. I had already called a few places but wasn’t impressed and really wanted to make sure we got him the best care. I couldn’t believe they had so many five star reviews...it sounded too good to be true! When I called to schedule his appointment, I spoke to a woman on the phone who I believe was named Brianna or Bri. She was incredibly empathetic regarding our cat’s last visit and answered all of my questions without hesitation. She completely sold me on their office and ultimately is the reason we chose to come here first. Dr. Truitt’s bedside manner is impeccable as well!! My husband and I joked as we left that we wish she was practicing in human medicine because we would love to be her patients!! What a friendly doctor, which we aren’t really used to! At his usual doctor, we feel like a burden when we ask questions and sometimes get brushed off. As a pet owner, it’s great to leave with all questions answered. This is the first time we’ve left the vet feeling so great. She was incredibly patient with our scared cat and we didn’t feel like a bother. I asked all the questions I could think of and she answered every single one. We were never rushed, ignored, or dismissed. My husband couldn’t believe how patient Dr. Truitt was, and neither could I. We can’t wait to come back in a year for his next visit. read less

The very local clinic at Beach Street in Frankston is where we used to go until we realised that all we were was a money maker for them.
We decided to try Cat Lovers vet and were amazed at the way the clinic was run.
Jim's priorities were focused on the health of your cat and not just the money.
Walking into the clinic instantly felt different from every other clinic we've been in.
It's true that the only thing that Jim does is cats and he does it not because it's a way to make money but because he is genuinely interested in the health of your cat.
A very real cat whisperer.
A friend had a cat who was unwell and we sent him to see Jim. He also used to see the vets at Beach Street. No surprise that he was shocked at the service received by Jim.
If you have a cat that requires attention, Cat Lovers should be the only place that should be on your mind.
Thanks Jim for your dedication to the sick cats of Melbourne. read less

The vet was quite insistent.
I took him and left there in tears.
I brought him to Cat Lovers at the recommendation of longtime client.
I hadn't heard of them.
Cat Lovers specialise in cats only.
This tiny friendly place took me in the morning l rang and gave Merlin a caring examination and checked out his tests.
I was elated to be told "This cat is not ready to go!"
I took him home and 3 weeks later, he is still enjoying his meals and daily walks in the sun.
I'm just so grateful to have confidence in knowing l made the right decision, when under pressure.
I've made Cat Lovers our vet now.
When in doubt, ALWAYS get a second opinion.
Thankyou 🙏
*Merlin passed away 3 months later, in my arms at Cat Lovers.
A love filled 3 extra months that l wouldn't have missed for the world.
Now lying at rest in his garden, in my front garden. Always close by. read less
