These guys are as good as it gets. I brought my Venus to The Cat Practice after having been told by another vet that there was nothing wrong with her and that her unusual behavior was not derived from a medical problem. Dr. Sullivan asked lots of questions and took the time to understand my cat, getting to the medical root of Venus' bad behavior without all the expensive tests that the previous vet required (in the end, to no avail). He seemed incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to share that knowledge with me and ans... read more

Convenient location – was searching for a vet that focuses on cats. It's scary enough for my kitties to go to the vet without making them put up with scary dogs nosies and smells. The staff here is very friendly and it's easy to get appointments. The doctors seemed knowledgeable and explained things thoroughly. I like the central convenient location, but it is on an avenue, which makes the street busy and noisy when I'm carrying the cats from the cab to the door. The cats in the boarding area seemed to be getting a lot of at... read more

Great place to check out – Cats practice is a great place to check out if you are in the market for a place to keep your pet cat during a holiday visit or when you are going away for business. They have supervised playrooms for a fun atmosphere for your cats. They also make sure that your pets get exercise.

Competent and Genuine – After seeing two other vets about our cats chronic respiratory issue, we went to The Cat Practice. (Previously we had been told by the other vets that the issue was likely allergy-related and hard to diagnose/treat.) Dr. Sullivan was not satisfied with this surface explanation and conducted multiple tests. The cat tested positive for a bacterial organism, which required a medication specific to the bacteria to finally rid the cat of this ongoing, chronic problem. Without Dr. Sullivans help, who know h... read more

Wouldn't go elsewhere – According to its website, The Cat Practice was the first feline-only veterinary practice in the world. I've been taking my cat to the Cat Practice for two and a half years and I wouldn't go elsewhere. Everyone here, from Dr. Sullivan to the receptionists, loves cats and treats them accordingly. The facilities are impeccably clean and cheerful. I've boarded my cat at the Cat Practice several times and I always have peace of mind knowing she's in good hands, as the cats are monitored carefully and given... read more

Love this place – I love this place. My cat loves this place. I have never been turned down for boarding, which runs around $25 per day for non-medical. Moreover, they know my cat by name and more often than not, he is hanging out outside of his cage when I arrive to pick him up. If your cat is high maintenance about being left on his own, as mine is, look no further. They really care about the animals at The Cat Practice and are pretty great to people, too.

Simply the best – Love, love, triple love The Cat Practice. Dr. Sullivan, the techs and especially the front desk personnel are a blessing. My girls, Lovey and Sheba, have been patients for several years after I adopted them from Animal Care and Control. Prior to that, my beloved big boy, Nelson, was attended to with truly personal care during his long bout with diabetes and a heart condition. Dr. Sullivan has written a witty and informative book, which was placed under many Christmas trees last year. I cannot recommend this... read more
