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

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.

The best cat vet. Amazing customer service and a wealth of experience.

Just experienced another supportive and caring visit to the Vet Set with my pet. Great service!

The staff here are very caring and professional They obviously specialize in cats, so they know what they are doing.

Great service and people

The total bill was less than $100.00 including needle and medication to take with me and administer to my cat when i got home. I think the young girl's name is Bernadette, who came in to the surgery with me, just a beautiful caring soul. Don't go anywhere else until you give these people a try, you won't regret it. read less

This was my first visit to a vet, after our Bella, stray at the time, popped up in our backyard, sleeping in the pizza oven...I took her to Cat Lovers, by a friend recommendation, and they found out that she was microchipped. After they contacted her owners, we found out that she was missing and probably living on streets for about eight months but her owners didn't want her anymore...So, I kept Bella and we loved her at the first sight ♥️She turned out to have really bad skin condition, but with Cat Lovers help we managed it pretty well. Then couple months ago, she started drooling...Jim suspected very bad mouth infection, scaled her teeth, groomed, filled up with antibiotics...at the lowest price I could ever imagine. Then one night she started choking and bleeding through her mouth...took her back...but there was no hope for her...it was that dreadful cancer...yup Jim was amazing even then, so compassionate, putting our feelings above everything but he couldn't give us any more hope. So, we managed to give all our love and attention to our darling Bella, but it was all we could in such a short time. After all, I had to say goodbye to my poor darling kitty Bella.Thank you so, so much for being you Jim and girls...for looking after us and on top of all, I nearly fainted, when Jim told me no charge for the last visit.I'm still in tears some for Bella, some for that absolutely unique experience of an amazing Doctor, who puts people and animals before profits. I will make sure to tell this story to every pet owner and send them your way, true Cat Lovers ♥️ other animals are not left out too! read less

Jim is an outstanding Vet...Cherie and staff are fantastic! Would and have never used another Vet for my Burmese 👍😇❤️❤️

There were times that were touch and go for the next year or so with his multiple health problems but with Jim's help Maggie's quality of life would improve and give us more time with him, and Maggie's love and affection continued right to the end. Maggie's welfare always came first and even when the terrible day came when Maggie was put to sleep we felt really looked after by Jim and team. Although our hearts are broken from his passing we feel he was in the best of hands and can't recommend Jim enough. Being a small clinic that only deals with cats it means your feline friend is less stressed and get's the best treatment and you get the best advice. We would definitely go back when we are ready to get another feline companion. We can't thank Jim and team enough. 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

Jim is a very down to earth vet who doesn't mess around.
His experience means he can recognize and identify ailments without you having to pay $$$$ for unnecessary tests.

Booked him into the same vet for them to groom him and after waiting 6 weeks to get him in they cancelled at the last minute and couldn't refer me to anyone else. I hunted around and rang a private cat groomer who referred me to Catlovers. Couldn't have asked for a better outcome as managed to get him in within 2 weeks. Reception staff/nurses were so nice and although i thought my cat looked very weird with his lion clip he's a totally different cat! 13 years old and like a kitten again. He did have to be sedated and was strange for a day or 2 but after that he's been fantastic. Will definitely be taking him back there. read less
