  It’s truly amazing how NO ONE ANSWERS THE PHONE. For a place who says they “care” about animals and pets, I find it VERY hard to believe. You don’t even answer the phone during business hours.

  I had brought my almost 10 year old cat here when it became obvious to me that something was wrong with him. It was after their normal working hours (on a Friday night) but i found that their after hours staff was very competent and that the facility was well staffed even when the facility was closed except for emergency services. After examining my cat the veterinarian took the time to explain to me how cats are pre disposed to kidney issues and it appeared that my cats kidney's were failing. He explained that it might be possible for my cat to continue to lead a normal life with just having to take a pill each day. He explained that they could not determine if that would be a viable option for my cat without conducting more tests over a period of a few days and that those tests were not cheap and may not be an affordable option for everyone. If that was the case, having the cat put to sleep so he would no longer suffer was the other most humane option. He made it clear that if I chose to have further testing done, that in no way implied that meant at the end of the testing that we would not have to have the cat put to sleep anyway. He wanted to ensure that I understood that choosing to spend more money was not a garuntee that the cat would be fine. I chose to spend the money and have the further testing done. Unfortunately at the end of the few days off testing it was determined that my cats kidney condition would not benefit from taking medication and we had to have him put to sleep. I greatly appreciated the veterinarians honesty, compassion and the time he took to ensure I understood what they were doing and what my options were at every point in this process. I was able to visit with my cat in private one last time before he was put to sleep and all of the staff showed great compassion during this very painful time. A few weeks later I received a beautiful hand written card in the mail that was signed by the staff members who had attended to my cat while he was there expressing their sorrow for my loss yet also commending me for making the humane choice yet hard choice to have my cat put to sleep. It was a wonderful and perfect gesture from the staff that showed a level of compassion and caring that you just don't see that often these days.
