Preventive care

I found this dog on the street at 6am. I called animal control. They asked if i could keep him in the backyard. Of course. Beyond friendly, but this is how he looked. I decided I wasn't going to let him into the system, Once i saw how great he was I called Dr. Jocelyn. She worked with me, I'm so thankful. She worked with us throughout his life. Malcom had a great life thanks to Dr Jocelyn. Beach days and lots of walks. I miss him, but I will take all my other animals to her. Thank you for giving Malcom a great 4 years! Unfortunately he passed recently

Had my cat Molly spayed here and couldn’t be happier with the care she received. Jocelyn is an excellent veterinarian who clearly takes her work seriously, and both she and Paul are kind, down-to-earth people who genuinely care about their patients. Molly’s recovery went smoothly, and I felt confident she was in great hands. Highly recommend!

Such an amazing experience at Cali’s Cottage with bringing in a stray cat I rescued for TNR. The entire staff was incredibly kind, patient, and compassionate with both me and her. They walked me through the process, answered all my questions, and made what felt overwhelming so much easier. They treated her with so much care and respect, even knowing she was a stray. I’m beyond grateful for their help and for making this experience such a positive one. Highly recommend to anyone, especially those helping community cats! Miss Poppy is forever grateful ❤️

Dr. Jocelyn is a wonderful veterinarian who is taking over Dr.Kuddles Old practice and completely refurbished the office during the reconstruction. She went out of her way to take care of all the animal patients for six months, having weekly free clinics to make sure all the animal patients got their medicines and were examined and checked for any new medical conditions. It was evident, watching her, examine my dog, how much she loves animals and how much she wants to help them and you as an owner understand what’s best for them and how to treat their ailments she has contained a state of the art facility to take care of your Furry loved ones. She’s a very sweet and knowledgeable doctor. I highly recommend her to you and your pets.

Dr. Jocelyn and her staff are the best. I have been seeing her for years and she is so kind, and great with my grumpy kitty! He loves her, he knows her voice and purrs for her when she's not examining him. He's never been that way with any other vet! Doc and her staff are not only kind to animals, but their human parents as well. So patient, so reassuring. They follow up on my boy all the time. It's hard to find people that truly care in this world but Dr. Jocelyn and everyone at Calis Cottage are truly great people. Highly recommend, especially if you are anxious like me!
