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

I take my Chocolate piont Birman there for a shave once a year and it is always a perfect cut, with no Knicks. They know their cats and issues after successfully treating mine for feline herpes and I saw him every day for 10 days and only charged me once for the medication (at a reasonable price). Thanks. 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

Wonderful people who really care for cats.

Five years on I still thank my lucky stars she sent me to Catlovers.
I trust Jim 100%.He has both uncanny instinct and experience when it comes to diagnosis and offers a range of treatment outcomes to support both your pet and yourself.
I can only say amazing things about every aspect of the service here and the empathetic staff. 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

Great people and very helpful, strongly recommend 😊

His experience means he can recognize and identify ailments without you having to pay $$$$ for unnecessary tests.

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

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
