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 lessJim is an amazing vet and person.

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 lessI'm short for words when it comes to praise the great work and human touch that Jim and his staff provided me and my cat Bella, all along.

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

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

Five years on I still thank my lucky stars she sent me to Catlovers.

Simply cannot say enough about how kind Jim has been, providing daily reports.
I feel all the staff are very dedicated to their task of offering the best care any owner could wish for.
Taking your cat that is very sick to a VET is the most difficult thing to do, but somehow Jim provides the facts with data to compare each day
As he lets the data indicate the point of difference and improvement.
Jim sometimes it’s extremely difficult to even speak over the phone about our Leo, please understand no matter what happens we have total trust in your knowledge and decades of experience. The whole family really appreciate your efforts to helping Leo make the best recovery possible.
You put the human touch to a very difficult task.

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

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

One of our last interactions with Catlovers was a few months ago when our 14 month old kitten was bitten by a tiger snake (we have 5 cats and had been to Catlovers a few times while living in the area, but have since moved house).In a panic we rushed him to the closest vet to our new place, who basically told us he had no chance and would have to be euthanised, but if we left him with them they would "try" to do their best and they would give us a call the following day! Our gut feelings told us to get the hell out of there and take him to Dr Jim (even though it was about an hour's drive away) and we did.Needless to say, Dr Jim saved his little life and after taking him back for a few fluid top-ups/shots (and round-the-clock love from us) he's bouncing around these days like nothing bad happened!We're so grateful to Dr Jim and his lovely staff and can't recommend him enough. Definitely worth the drive for their proper care and compassionate service. read less
