How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Cat Doctors
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

Where to even begin! I absolutely love everyone at The Cat Doctors, and if you have a cat this is the place to bring them. I have an almost 7 year old cat Jasper who has hyperesthesia, as well as some anxiety issues, and before we found The Cat Doctors no one would take him or me seriously. Last year we finally came in and saw Dr. Farrow, and I knew instantly this would be our permanent vet moving forward. Dr. Farrow takes her time and listens to my concerns, and is always suggesting new ideas for things we can do to help Jasper live his healthiest and happiest life, and I have no doubt the other doctors here are the same way. From the front desk staff to the technicians to the doctors, everyone is so kind and you can tell how much they care! Last week Jasper decided to eat some ribbon off of a cat toy, and when I called they took quick action and had me drop him off so Dr. Simon could see him. I was so sad about having to leave him there, but Holly our technician was so compassionate and assured me he was in good hands, and texted me updates which meant the world to me. I also had an opportunity to speak to Dr. Simon and she was just as amazing, and took the time to thoroughly explain everything to me from what they tried, tests they did, results, what they meant, and what options were for next steps, including what she would do if it were her own cat. (Jasper is doing great by the way!) Thank you so much to each and every person at The Cat Doctors for caring about my Jasper. I love that I have found somewhere that loves cats as much as I do :)

I am so happy that I met the doctors at The Cat Doctors. Very friendly, professional and he heard my concerns about my cat's behavior. I am surprised how well she did on today's visit. The staff is super nice and the atmosphere is very calm and quiet. I think that helped Angel to feel more relaxed in a place she's never been before.Thank you Dr. Whitlow and the staff that took care of Angel!!

I’ve been taking my cats to the Cat Doctors since early 2022. In every interaction they have been kind, compassionate and are extremely knowledgeable. The vet techs, front desk, doctors, everyone is great! Have been bringing in my (not so) little guy more these past couple of months due to some stress and weight issues and Dr. Whitlow got him on the right track and he’s already making improvements. I promise that bringing your cats here will be worth every penny.

I could not say enough good things about the cat doctors! The most amazing staff and vets, all around. I’ve never had a vet experience where every single person in the practice is so caring and compassionate. I had brought my special needs kitty Squish here for all sorts of problems and the whole staff was so helpful and always answered my questions and got back to me as quick as possible. The vet staff took literal hours out of their time talking to me about her condition and she was a SPICY girl, and they always were so good with her! From her first visit, to her last when she was unfortunately put down, I received nothing but amazing care and compassion from the whole team. They even sent the most beautiful card to me after she passed. I will continue to take my cats there and every single cat owner should take their cats here! Nobody does cat veterinary care like the cat doctors!!

If you are looking for a vet that cares for your cat this is the place! Dr. Whitlow is amazing. Originally when I adopted my two kitties in March of 2023, they were being seen at the humane society. (If you care for your cat please DO NOT take them to the humane society. Your precious kitty will not be treated with love and care the way the cat doctors do). After being treated poorly by the humane society vet staff, I decided to take my time and research vet clinics. That is when I stumbled upon the cat doctors. What first made me pick this office was that they specifically specialize in cats which made me feel at ease that I could bring my cats to a comfortable kitty friendly location. With every visit I have had at the cat doctors, I was always treated with kindness. Not only was I treated with kindness, but my two cats as well. Dr. Whitlow is hands down the BEST veterinarian in the whole world. He should win an award. Even with my countless questions, Dr. Whitlow always answered them graciously and would even repeat any of his answers if I needed a better understanding. While we were trying to find the root of the problem regarding one of my cats being sick, Dr. Whitlow always showed sincerity and concern in wanting to figure out what was going on. Shortly after, Dr. Whitlow was able to diagnose my kitty with FIV and asthma. Even with my cat being FIV+, he was always treated with love and care regardless of his diagnosis. I could say so much more on how amazing this vet clinic is including all the staff but I truly hope that if anyone is in need of a cat vet this is the place you bring your kitty to. I have recommended this office to all my friends who own cats because they are that amazing. This is truly the best clinic for cats!
