Got more information, treatment and advice than the other vet came close to at Cat Lovers and I feel like an idiot for ever going anywhere else. read less

We highly recommend Cat Lovers to everyone and anyone who asks for the best vet around. We cannot speak highly enough of Cat Lovers. 🏆I don't understand the negative comments. Everyone I know that takes their cats there cannot speak highly enough of them. Prices are excellent, Jim doesn't talk much but tells you what you need to know. He's extremely professional.Definitely the best vet around. 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

Unfortunately he was slowly dying and would not see Christmas. So we decided to send him off. They were so accommodating and let us stay with him for almost half an hour. We left with a sympathy card with a paw print and some fur . They kept him for almost two weeks over the holiday break until we decided want to do . I will be back when we find another fur baby read less

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

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

Caring vet and helpful friendly front desk.

It was a little bit awkward when I brought my 4 legged dog named whiskers.

I was astounded at how quick and easy it was to get the cats claws trimmed

Had issue. Sorted promptly. Thankyou

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

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