The vets were so helpful. We went to another vet prior and they estimated the costs would be 1,000$ just to figure out what was wrong with her, and made us pay $60 for an exam with no medicine. However, at the Cat Hospital of Metairie, they gave us medicine and an exam the same day for $80. They treated my cat as if she was a family member, not just another pet owner to get money out of. They gave my cat treats while I was there and the vet was very caring and patient. They even have sweet cats that they keep there that lounge around! You can tell they genuinely care about your cat and want the best care for you and your pet. I cannot recommend enough.

I truly can not say enough positive things about this vet's office. They go above and beyond to care for the cats they see and are exceptionally kind and compassionate with their humans, as well. I saw both vets and absolutely loved their bedside manner and willingness to answer all questions. My cat had a rare autoimmune condition which required careful treatment and protections. The folks who work here were unbelievably supportive and kind to me when I experienced a lot of unexpected difficulties in my life and was doing my best to keep my ESA, best friend and fur-baby Tamarind safe and healthy. I never once felt judged, dismissed or unsafe there. This is a queer friendly business, too! Dr. Thibeau and Kat the PA/receptionist were especially compassionate and kind. I know they also help out Trap Dat Cat with vetting services for community cats which is an incredibly generous and caring thing to do! Thank you all so much for your support through a very hard time. Be sure to let them know if you have insurance, or if money isn't an issue. Unlike most vets they seem to tend to assume folks are low on financial resources and will often suggest the more affordable routes when it comes to testing, treatments or meds. This is amazing! But they will maybe have other recommendations depending on your financial situation. It was profoundly refreshing to encounter a vet that seemed more motivated to make care accessible for cat owners than to nickel and dime them into poverty.

Dr. Miller’s service is always extraordinary. She is patient and knowledgeable with my Luka because he is aggressive during veterinarian appointments. I had another veterinarian hospital that refused care for my fur baby. I highly recommend the Cat Hospital of Metairie because no cat is left behind! THANK YOU! ❤️🐾

This was our first visit. And I can't think of anything that would make my visit better that you guys could do. Now, if I could just make my cat behave and not act like a wild man. It would be a better experience for all of us lol.

I can't say enough good things about the doctors and staff here. They took wonderful care of our 17-year-old cat until the end. Other vets I tried weren't equipped to handle a feisty former feral or even refused to see her, but the Cat Hospital treated her adeptly and compassionately. We were even able to arrange a house call when it came time to say goodbye.
