Avoid, very, very expensive, uncaring staff, many bad experiences. Last one $300 bill, never saw the Doctor Vet, no resolution without hundreds of more dollars. read more

We had a problem with payment and ended up keeping the staff held up about twenty minutes past closing. During the time we were sorting out our side, Amy (an employee) screamed at my partner. When I came back inside, she was calm and professional again. Very confusing, very scary. Please don't bring your dear pets here. These people are volatile and erratic. read more

If I ever adopt another cat I would not ever bring them here. My sweet Sammy had been coming to this vet for over 4 years. I have had several "interesting" interactions with the vet before about the care of my cat. Less than a month ago I brought Sammy to the vet for checkup because she had a lump on her chest (what I now know is her mammary gland), and they immediately wanted to schedule surgery. I was fine with that but thought it was weird they didn't want to do any precautionary things to see what was going on before immediately going to surgery ( no prior bloodwork, no chest x ray, nothing). 2 weeks after my appointment and 1 week before surgery Sammy starts to breathe very badly, so I called and asked if there was a way for her to be seen today. The woman on the front desk phone told me that they do not do emergency appointments which is not true as I had brought another cat in two years prior for an emergency appointment (I still have the bill). Regardless I took my cat to another vet for an emergency appointment and was told that we should do an x-ray immediately and we did. The x-ray showed that Sammy had lots of fluid built up in her lungs, and that the lump was cancer that had spread. The vet also informed me that with how sick Sammy was that if she had tried to be put under anesthesia she would pass away from the additional stress. Ultimately Sammy was put down that day. I called last Monday to let cats meow know, and they pushed me through to the surgery department where I left my name and my number several times in the same voicemail. I today am being woken up to called from cats meow wondering where Sammy is. I called them back to let them know and was sent to voicemail. I am irritated that I never got a phone call in response from my voicemail last week. Their prices maybe lower than some other vets in the area, but get pets insurance and go somewhere else. Rest in Peace Sammy. read more

Cat's Meow Veterinary Hospital - Sammy - Veterinarians Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Horrible place. DO NOT BRING ANY ANIMAL THAT YOU LOVE TO THESE PEOPLE! Bought in a few cats for spaying, there were bugs and sick cats everywhere. The people working there are not nice at all. Lousy attitudes with a dirty office and I should of trusted my gut feeling and left. They put our cats in with the other sick cats. Long story short, 2 previously healthy, beautiful, vibrant young cats came home with Bordetella that quickly turned into deadly cat flu. Did everything to try to save them. Took them to another vet that said it was too late. Just finished burying the second one. Also, they just doubled their prices and nickel and dime you for pain shots, antibiotics and flea care, which is included at other vets, which I doubt they even gave them, they likely just kept the upcharge money. Nasty people. Wouldn't trust them with a pet roach. Try Love Pets on Hwy 90 in North Myrtle for much better/nicer care where everything is included in the lower price (literally half the price of Cats Meow). Or try anywhere else. Call the Humane Society for a referral if you have to. Do not trust these people with something you love. IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR ANIMALS, PLEASE AVOID THIS EVIL, NASTY DUMP LIKE THE PLAGUE! YOU WILL REGRET IT! read more

This is a hard review to post I ultimately lost a kitten that I totally fell in love with being a non-cat person . The kitten had an adverse effect to the anesthesia(ketamine) He crashed during recovery and they were able to bring him back Unfortunately over the next few days he progressively got worse and had to be euthanized My heart is breaking feeling like I drove him there with a bad feeling in my stomach and the ultimate worst thing happened I lost him All of that being said the staff and Dr. Levy handled this awful event with compassion, communicated with me explained alot to me which I also googled So this is a bittersweet review I did lose my pet but they handled it with the sensitivity , understanding in the most god-awful situation they were so empathetic ..... I don't know if I will get another cat /kitten but if I do I would continue to let cats meow my veterinarian clinic..... Is a bittersweet review and I'm still crying , but you have to realize we are all human I truly believe it was a freak , rare reaction. If it was human error people are human unfortunately...... And at the end of the day it's about how they handled this tragic event.......,, So that's how I'm leaving a five star review........ read more

Our cat who is 20 years old and has been a patient at Cats Meow for 15 years. He had an accident this afternoon and was cut on the chest. we called and sent photos just after 4 (the clinic closes at 5). I called back and asked if I could come in the following day and get an antibiotic since he IS very old. I asked to come in and wait and maybe they could work us in. I was told NO, I had to have an appointment ,and the next one open was 2 days later at 3...48 hours later. I found this very inconsiderate...not to mention life threatening to our cat. This is not the kind of care and consideration to offer a regular patient. If you are thinking of using this clinic , you might want to reconsider. read more

Under new ownership will not treat feral cats or honor emergency clinic transfers for continued hospital care. I am a former client who will no longer use them or reccomend them. My mom and I were long standing clients who feed and care for ferals in the past several years wehave brought numerous ones inside and used this vet for treatment now under the new ownership they refuse to treat any we try to bring in to them. Please be aware if you are like mom and I and care for all cats whether they are pets or are outside not to use this clinic. Also staff is rude at times unlike before when Kim ownedthe clinic everyone was friendly and helpful and because Kim worked with a cat rescue group she saw that ferals were treated when neccesary. read more

I was stunned by this place. Gnats flying everywhere. Two "office" cats walking around. One was horribly sick; sneezing and mucous in its eyes. The other was friendly it seemed until it bit a child. After a well check appointment, my little 5lb. cat started acting funny. Not eating right, her coat unkempt. I waited bc I had just taken her to this vet who said she was in good health. After a month I took her back and she had PANCREATITUS! Where and when did that happen? I was there for 3 hours, watching and waiting, batting gnats away, this sick cat wandering around the office being ignored. Then a nurse came out to tell me my cat had kidney disease. Devastated I took her to another vet who said the pancreatitus is very hard on her body. She died a year later. This place should be shut down in my opinion.​ read more

We arrived unannounced with our sick kitty and even though they were booked solid still managed to fit us in. After some tests and treatment we had her back a few hours later. By the next morning her majesty was back on her throne ruling over her subjects/us. We're extremely grateful to the staff and doctors for their care and skill. Oh, and next time we'll be sure to make an appointment. ;-) read more

I would recommend Cats Meow to anyone who is owned by a cat. After 50 yrs of having cats It is nice to know someone shares my mind set. I brought a 9 yr old feisty cat to Cats Meow due to a possible dental problem / urinary issue and the need for a rabies shot. Knowing her personality, I suggested sedation before they proceeded and they were in agreement. All went well and the cat was happy, I was happy ( no real problems ) and all went well with the exam and the aftermath. I would bring my other two kitties here without a qualm..Thanks guys ! read more

Bad experience due to lack of communication by staff. We have been going to Cats Meow for years, for three of our furry family members. I've always recommended them and have never had a bad experience until our last visit. Unfortunately, we will most likely not return after this. I called last week to make an appointment for my cat to be groomed. I specified grooming. We've used their groomer before but it has been a few years, and the staff member I talked to didnt walk me through any options. The staff member who took the kitty at drop off also didn't talk to me about whixh services I was getting (she did rattle off basic groom, blah, blah, as she was checking us in but did not ask me which services I wanted or explain their packages). It wasn't until after we picked kitty up and got her home that I realized grooming didnt mean any type of haircut. For $35, my cat got a bath. I ran my hand along her back and still came away with a layer of loose hair, so I don't think she was even brushed. I called them to talk about the situation. I had assumed grooming meant some kind of trim or care beyond a bath, which was wrong of me. The staff member explained that "basic grooming" was a bath, brush, nail trim, ears cleaned and anal glands expressed. Again, for thirty five dollars. If I wanted her fur trimmed, just belly and her "potty area" (their term) was an extra $12. Any kind of full cut was $65 (!!!!!) and they only had specialty options. So I could pay more than $50 to make my cat look like a lamb or a lion, but if I just wanted her fur trimmed, I was out of luck. I really feel like these details should be gone over explicitly when the appointment is made. The customer should be asked if they want x,y,z. The price I paid compared to the services I got is ridiculous, and I now need to pay someone else to actually cut her hair. read more

It's hard for me to express how grateful I am to the Cat's Meow team. I didn't have a vet down here and I had a sick kitty. I had called around and since I didn't have an established vet, I was being told by other vets that it would be 2 weeks before they could see him! I called Cat's Meow on a Friday and they set me up with a Monday drop off appointment. They listened to me and were compassionate and caring. They diagnosed him with Pancreatitis and gave him the necessary treatments and did an an excellent job in communicating so that I had a full understanding of his condition and future actions to take. Thanks Elisha! I now have peace of mind and my kitty's on the mend. I would 100 percent recommend them. read more

I have always loved this clinic and their service is usually great. However, they have new owners who have instituted what has to be the dumbest policy ever. Maybe dumb isn't the right word, inconvenient is better I guess. To get my cat neutered, they require that I bring my cat in first for a "gender check" appt. Are you kidding?? My cat has balls so I know he's male. When I pressed the issue I was told the doctor needs a "medical relationship" with the animal before the surgery is performed. Has the world gone mad? Then they tried to say that they are "an animal vet hospital" as opposed to a spay/neuter clinic. Oh please...snooty much? It's the first time I have ever encountered this kind of thing in all my years of having pets. Is this just another way to charge more money? I don't know. What I do know is that it shows an appalling lack of empathy for the animals. They get so scared to go to the vet, so the minimum number of visits is ideal. You would think they would know this and act accordingly. I do not want my precious pet to go to doctors and caregivers who lack the ability to understand what it feels like to be the patient. Shame on you guys!! Needless to say I made an appt. with a vet that has more sense. They lost some pretty good business because I have several pets. You pet owners out there, beware this place if you care about your furry friends. read more

They always take such good care of my sweet cat! Very well trained staff, & always knowledgeable when I ask questions. Great prices as well. I trust them with my cat who is like my actual child, I was scared at first but seeing how they treated her I was so relieved and more than comfortable to take her there. My cat loves going now too! read more

Very pleased with the team at Cat's Meow in Myrtle Beach!!! Had to board my 2 kitties for 18 days and was impressed with their set-up and attentiveness to my kitties' needs. Their room had a window view, was sparkling clean and odor-free! I will use their boarding services in the future and highly recommend!!! Thank you for all you did to keep my kitties happy & well-cared for while I was away! You are a godsend!!! Susan read more

Recently relocated to the Myrtle Beach area and needed a vet to rely on providing vaccinations and grooming for my furry friend. Haven't had a flea problem in over 2 years, but somehow the one instance I brought my pet here, there were excuses from the beginning on how nothing was their fault. My apartment is now covered in fleas, they didn't groom her and simply gave her a capstar before I picked her up (which is questionable otherwise how would fleas backpack their way to her home?). My cat was able to to relax and spend time with me on my screened-in apartment balcony during the summer and fall months without ever having a flea issue. If you have an indoor cat, I recommend the hesitation in considering whether or not you want your baby to come home with fleas. read more

Worse experience I have ever had with a Veterinary clinic Very untrained, very rude and very unprofessional phone receptionists. They answer the phone with a bad attitude like I owe them something, they have no clue what is the meaning of customer service They have setup the worst grooming service which they brag about on their website They are under staffed with only one groomer They are too cheap to hire someone who can specialize in answering the phone and schedule appointment for their third party grooming vendor, which is by the way they the only groomer they have, and probably works all day and do not have time to call back customers to schedule appointments So when you call to schedule a grooming appointment, the phone receptionist who answers the phone with an attitude, take your name and phone number and you will be lucky if she remembers to pass it on to the third party groomer, and even is she remembers to give the groomer your phone number you will have a better chance seeing Jesus then for this groomer to call you back It happens to me twice; I called them twice to schedule a grooming appointment, their only groomer never called me back in the two times in which I called. When I was sarcastic with my second phone call with the rude and unprofessional phone receptionist, because I was tired of them not calling back to schedule a grooming appointment, I received a very rude and unprofessional email from Alicia the Practice Manager accusing of threatening and harassing their rude and unprofessional phone receptionists and told me they are no longer want to provide service to my cats, even though I have only one CAT Instead on investigating what were the issues and gather facts from me and not only from her staff since I am the customer, she blasted me with very unprofessional email This office did not even bother to make a call to find out why was I upset or is there anything they can do to resolve the issue but instead the elected to terminate their relationship with me as customer They have an attitude because they think customers are desperate for their service because they do cats only, they have no competition, they can afford to be abusive and rude and unprofessional to their customers so one upset customer doesn't matter to them, they don't care. But even one unhappy customer like me, I thought I have the right to tell the public that this Veterinary clinic is not perfect as you might think. The way I was treated as a customer by your phone receptionist and by Alicia the Practice Manager was totally rude, unprofessional and pathetic I will never do any business with this clinic again and word of mouth is better than any website ,advertisement or marketing campaign that this clinic have I will make sure I tell my experience this vet clinic to all my family and friends. read more

I have taken 3 cats to this clinic and have had no problems with their care. They are very good about giving as much information as possible and the animals look great after surgery and recover very quickly with no problems. I highly recommend this clinic! read more

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAT HERE. I had called a few days prior to make an appointment for my cat's annual vaccines and she told me they didn't take appointments for annual vaccines, just walk-ins. So when I showed up they charged me an extra $15 for not having the appointment I was told they didn't take. They were rude immediately upon entering. I asked the young lady at the desk what my best option would be for flea medication and she was absolutely no help at all, didn't care to try either. Also, they would not let me go back with him while he was getting his shots, which I have never had happen before. They had him for about 5 minutes in the back, brought him back and my poor cat was so terrified that he had urinated on himself and was visibly shaken up. Not sure what was going on in those 5 mins but my cat has had vaccines before and has never been returned to me like he was. All they had to say was "he peed on himself" in a laughing manner. Didn't bother to clean him off with a wet wipe or anything. PLEASE people, take your cats elsewhere and avoid the trauma they will endure by going here. I HIGHLY recommend Kind Care in Little River, they were absolutely amazing in every way and happy to help with the flea medication problem I mentioned earlier. Will never recommend Cats Meow to anyone, other than to adopt the cats they have to get them out of their care. read more

I've been to many a vets office before but never one so cozy and comfortable. I absolutely love the free roaming cats they have in the building. It's very inviting to sit down and have one perch beside you or on your lap. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I was blown away at how inexpensive the visit was. I paid double at my previous vet so that was definitely a plus in my pocket! Love that its cat specific. It makes the process go a lot smoother. They are definitely the "Cats Meow"! read more

This vet clinic is amazing! I have 2 cats (who are true fur babies to me), & I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else! Why? Prices are decent, the vets & staff are knowledgeable, & they truly care about what they do! I especially like that they specialize in treating cats, & they were very compassionate when I lost my first kitty of 13 years three years ago. read more

I had an overall great experience here. I was last there in October, so I had gone out of town over the weekend and came home to find that my cat wouldn't eat or drink. We had recently moved to the area and hadn't found a new vet, so I got very worried. I called the cat's meow and they were able to squeeze me in the following day. I thought about it and after an hour of worrying I called back and told them I was worried about him and wanted to see if I could get in THAT day. It was a Monday morning and they fit me in. I brought my cat there and was in hysterics because I was so worried about him. They talked me off a ledge and really made me feel at ease leaving him there. I consented to every test they felt they needed to do because he is a cat and he can't talk and tell them what's wrong with him. It was pricey, but I understood because they needed to do those tests to figure out what was wrong with him and rule out what wasn't. The vet came out and explained everything to me when I came to pick my cat up. I really appreciate the kindness and care of the vet and staff. My cat ate an entire bowl of food when he came home. read more

Called to make an appointment. Got put on hold for over 5 minutes, and then was dumped into a voice messaging system. I don't think they are taking new patients, but have poor customer service, and can't figure out how to tell people. Don't waste your time. Can't get an appointment any earlier than 5 days out anyway. read more

Friendly and attentive staff, nice pricing and it's an all cat facility! It's wonderful and I am glad I found them. They will be my cats' vets from now on! read more

I couldn't recommend Cats Meow enough. Kim and her staff are absolutely wonderful. They took the best care of my boy and reassured me with updates when he had to stay overnight. (I think he took it better than I did lol). I can't thank them enough for giving him so much love and care. My cat once ate the greenery from a flower bouquet and he was sick and throwing up. It was early in the morning and Cats Meow hadn't opened yet. Knowing that plants can be toxic to cats, I was in a panic. I called other vets that were already open and no one would even give me advice, all they wanted was their $60 vet fee in order to tell me anything at all. I was able to get ahold of Cats Meow, who had me text them a picture of the plant it was so they could identify it and tell me if I should even bring him in. Thank God, they identified it and said he would be fine. They told me how to watch after him, and what to feed him to help him feel better...all over the phone. I have never felt like "another pet visit" at Cats Meow. They are wonderful people and truly care! We have since moved out of state and I wish we could find a veterinarian like Cats Meow where we are now. They are hard to come by! Thank you for taking such good care of my Miloh! read more

If you're thinking about boarding your beloved pet to the Cats Meow please seriously reconsider doing so. My poor Tillie was boarding at what we thought was a wonderful, clean and safe environment but suffered a catastrophic and blatantly preventable emergency and had to be euthanized while I was out of the country. Our story has been a living nightmare and others should be aware of this business's abysmal, incompetent and negligent care and concern under their care. My husband and I had planned to go on a cruise for our anniversary the end of April. Being a client of cats meow for many years, we thought that boarding them would be the best and safest option considering my sweet Tillie girl was a diabetic. Do Know she was regulated and otherwise a happy and a healthy cat. Many clients including myself chose to board them here under the assumption that they supposedly have full time veterinarians who help monitor boarding pets who require medications ( which FYI is a complete lie). They were responsible for my diabetic cat while I was on this cruise. While in the care of Cat's Meow she was administered too much insulin, had a traumatic experience, and then had to be put down. We left her on a Saturday morning. I made a chart about when she needed her insulin and what she liked & didn't like to try to make the experience as smooth as possible. Being scared and stressed, she wasn't eating. Anyone familiar with diabetes knows the number one rule is that the animal MUST eat before you give insulin! But Kim (the owner).. "the cat lady"... still gave MORE insulin on Sunday. Well Monday morning, Cindy found Tillie, and she was non responsive. Her temperature was 90 degrees, blood sugar was 54. They put her on a heating pad and gave her fluids and a catheter. She then began having seizures. They recomend her to the emergency vet. My Angel took her (MB). .. When she arrived there she was in bad shape, unable to stand, going in left circles, and maybe gone blind. Likely a stroke due to the insulin overdose she was given.. (you can even ask Google). .. .. We were told she had about a 25% chance of making it.... We couldn't get to her for 3 more days, and wouldn't make her suffer. Obviously "the cat lady" did not give my baby the special care and attention she needed. ... Enjoy the random cats wondering around while you Wait. They don't even care enough to take the time to clean the eyes of some. Ohh, To make matters worse, Saturday morning when we first arrived, we had to ask them to clean all the hair off of the climber toy that was in her room. Bottom line: whether you're boarding or grooming your cat, take care. This business has proven its negligence and it's important that what happened to Tillie doesn't happen to another beloved pet. Find another facility that is better equipped, better informed, and TRULY cares. My life will never be the same! R.I.P. my chicken little read more

I'm really impressed with the grooming service. They are efficient and caring. My Persian looks so cute!

They have taken care of our Cats Sassy and Cozmo so far out of the 6 indoor cats we have rescued and made our indoor pets and they have done an excellent job in health care to grooming as our Turkish Angora Sassy did not like the few times at Pet Smart and was traumatized each time she went there but both times at Cats Meow so far she has came home fully groomed, clean and very happy so they are doing a great job then. Cozmo our male Tabby went for skin broken out badly and itching and after a shot he cleared right up better than ever and happy as ever. I would recommend anyone to Cat's Meow. Great place and great staff. read more

The staff was very good with my shy kitty. Love the cat friendly atmosphere.

I've been going to the Cats Meow for years, Kim, Dr. Kate, Alicia, Sherry and the rest of the caring staff (not enough room to mention everyone by name) have ALWAYS given my fur babies the best care. The facility is always immaculately clean. Their boarding and grooming services are first rate and even though it can get crazy busy at times they are always there for you with a cheerful smile and a "how can I help you?" I really appreciate everything they do, there is no other place quite like The Cats Meow in Myrtle Beach. Thank you!!! read more

I went to cat's meow on the suggestion of a neighbor because I had a cat who kept having urinary tract issues. I took him here dropped him off for his appointment and picked him up in the afternoon. That was very convenient however I didn't get to see what they actually did to him and they charged me a heck of a lot. They said they got urine from him by poking his bladder which was great and told me he had crystals and urinary track infection and then only sent me home with an anabiotic and another urinary tract medication but nothing for pain. Not being a vet I figured for sure one of the medications was for pain. When I went to my other vet they told me it was not it was just to help with the urinary track infection and an antibiotic. The next morning my cat wouldn't eat or move because he was in so much pain. I had to take him back to my regular vet who then diagnosed him with a partial blockage gave him anti inflammatory medication and pain medication and within 24 hours he was doing much better. This vet is not only one of the most expensive in the area but they're terrible. Stay away save yourself some money go to a normal vet they will take better care of you. read more

I was happy with Dr. Brandi, but she has moved on. The next vet they assigned me to, Dr. Levy, gave my cat a very quick weight check and look at teeth. I tried asking some questions about concerns I have, but she was very short and sarcastic-sounding with me. Then she started trying to sell me expensive food. The waiting room was very noisy, with two groups of people having loud conversations. Someone came in with a dog, which I didn't think they treated. When I finally got into the exam room, they left the door to an adjacent room open, which could have been a problem if my cat had taken off. The cat's weight was down, and I was concerned. The answer? Try to get the cat to eat more. One of the house cats was in the exam room with mine. Unprofessional place. read more
