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 🙏 read less

His experience means he can recognize and identify ailments without you having to pay $$$$ for unnecessary tests. If you are recommended to get a test then it's because he genuinely thinks you need one and not "let's do one to see" Very happy with the service here and I trust my Persians lives to him implicitly. And they also cater to dogs on specific days! read less

I take my Chocolate piont Birman there for a shave once a year and it is always a perfect cut, with no Knicks.

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

Jim and nursing staff are awesome.

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

Very economical. Best prices for breeders. But sometimes need for paperwork to be checked.
Been going here for 20 years.

Very happy with there service and professionalism. Great on prices!

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

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

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.
When Jeff and Helen recommended us to you it was like a gift that we will never forget as the best recommendation ever. read less

Highly recomend! Great staff, cheap prices, $160 for desexing and microchip! Super cheap! First time at this clinic and i loved it, definitely will become my little girls new vet 🙂

Staff are wonderful and friendly with great service at a fraction of the cost compared to other vets to desex our female furbaby.

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
