My cat has been going to A Cat Clinic for years—even after we moved away from the immediate area. I've been to other vets, and A Cat Clinic by far has the best staff and doctors for treating the unique needs and personalities of cats. They even saved his life a few years ago when he indulged in his habit of eating inanimate objects and ended up with a blockage. I would recommend their services to any cat owner and will be bringing my new second cat there soon.
My family and I just went through a very difficult experience. Our cat Maya became ill very suddenly. She stopped eating and drinking, was vomiting and became listless and unwilling to groom herself. I called A Cat Clinic and they took her in first thing that morning. The staff from the front desk to the technicians to the doctors and office management were professorial,compassionate and concerned about our cat and our family. They ran some tests and determined that she had Panleukopenia. Her prognosis was not good, Dr Porter informed me that most cats do not survive. She offered the option to euthanize her, admit her, or send her home after administering fluids, antibiotics and anti-nausea medicine. She explained what we should expect depending on what we chose. We decided to take her home and hope for the best. That night she seemed to be getting a little better. She got up and walked around a little and seemed interested in food but would still not eat or drink. Sadly the next morning she had taken a turn for the worse. She was unresponsive and we could not bear to prolong her suffering. I returned to the clinic the next morning to have her put down. Again the staff was very compassionate. It was like they they were losing their own pet and they were very sympathetic to how sad I was to be losing her. Dr Clarke performed the procedure while I was there to comfort Maya in her last few moments. Dr Clarke was very sympathetic to me and to Maya, she did it quickly without causing Maya any undo stress. A few seconds later, Maya was gone. I'm fairly new to Jacksonville and did not know anyone to recommend a cat veterinarian. I went solely on online reviews when I contacted them. I'm so glad I did. A lot of the reviews from other places I checked were negative, they often mentioned things like rude staff and overcharging. You won't find that here. They charged a fair and reasonable price for everything they did, but most of all, I know they cared. As long as I live here I will never go anywhere else to take care of my cats.
My cat saw Dr. Porter and she is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. My kitty's diagnosis was a grim one, but I am so thankful for the compassion and thoroughness of Dr. Porter. She took the time and answered all my questions and made my kitty's last days very comfortable and I really appreciated that little bit of extra time I got to spend with my cat. When it was my cat's time to go, Dr. Porter and the staff made everything as easy as it could be. I haven't lived in the area long, but I am so glad that I found this practice and in my opinion, if you are a cat owner, this is the first place you should call!
The vets and staff really truly care about your feline friends, and will do what it takes to help them feel better. Of all the vets I've used in the past, this is the best I've ever come across.
