Taking it out on a potential client isn't the way. The other bad reviews about the quality of the grooming doesn't surprise me in the least after this interaction. One star well earned. You get what you give.

Some vets treat FIV like a death sentence and won't give these cats the time of day, but everyone at AC treats our little ones like beloved royalty. They take their time and answer all of our questions, and did a TON of research to share with us the best diet, supplements, and lifestyle changes to keep our cats healthy. We are not rich! Not by a long shot. We have small income, live in a small apartment, do not have money to toss away on unnecessary expenses. We've never felt that the vets at AC order gratuitous labs or x-rays or anything, and they always bring up the matter or cost very non-judgmentally in a way that would make us feel comfortable declining if we decided to do so. I've never felt pressured to do something I couldn't afford. We have never been pressured in the slightest to buy food or supplements them, they've always been completely fine with us buying from amazon or wherever I can get the best deal. Our cats are our family, truly. They have had rough lives before we adopted them and it's our honor, duty, and absolute pleasure to make sure they are happy and healthy for the rest of their lives. I would NEVER bring them to a vet where I felt that the cats or we as owners were being disrespected or where I felt they were getting sub-optimal care. Affectionately Cats has not only met but exceeded my expectations for two decades and I can't imagine ever going anywhere else.

MY CAT SUFFERED BECAUSE OF THESE PEOPLE. THEY GAVE HIM ZORBIUM WHEN I TOOK HIM THERE TO CHECK FOR…read moreA POSSIBLE UTI (WHICH HE DID NOT HAVE) WITHOUT TELLING ME IN ADVANCE AND REFUSE TO TELL ME WHY. GOOGLE ZORBIUM AND CATS AND YOU WILL SEE WHY THIS IS A PROBLEM. From the FDA website: "Zorbium is a DEA Schedule III opioid and was approved with a boxed warning, which is the strictest warning than can be issued for a drug...Zorbium should only be administered in a veterinary hospital by veterinarians or veterinary technicians who are trained in the handling of potent opioids. It is not to be dispensed for administration at home by the pet owner. " I took my cats to this clinic for almost two years and am happy to relate my experience with them. I made appointments for both my cats to check for possible urinary tract infections. Neither of them seemed sick but because there were 3 incidents of urine right outside the litterbox over the course of 6 weeks I wanted to make sure neither of them was in early stages of a urinary tract infection. The first appointment was with my 14-year old male who they had previously diagnosed with renal disease. For some reason they gave him topical Zorbium even though they didn't find any evidence that he had a UTI or any other condition for that matter and he wasn't showing any signs of pain. My cat was behaving normally before this visit. Immediately afterward he stopped eating, stopped interacting, stopped purring and then started throwing up bile. I took him back in after two days because he was suffering terribly, vomiting bile and not eating. They diagnosed him with pancreatitis and gave me a tube of Zorbium to administer myself at home. When he was still sick the next day, I called again and was told to either take him to emergency or give him the Zorbium they had sold me. At that point I googled Zorbium because I didn't want to give my cat medicine I knew nothing about and when I saw the warnings on both the FDA and manufacturer's website I opted for the emergency hospital. There are numerous horror stories about cats suffering and even dying after being given this drug. Zorbium is approved by the FDA solely for post-surgical pain management in cats and has not been tested for safe use in cats with kidney, heart, lung or liver disease. My cat did not have surgery, was not in pain and has kidney and heart disease. This was simply a routine office visit to check for a UTI! I understand that there are times when extra-label use of a drug is sometimes a good choice but they did not discuss this with me in advance and have refused to explain or provided any detailed medical documentation supporting the necessity for this treatment. I can only conclude they know they shouldn't have given him Zorbium and they can't bring themselves to admit it. In the next three weeks I took him to local vet emergency clinics four times, and an out-of-state university veterinary hospital twice. This all started with the Zorbium. If you want your cat to suffer unnecessarily, you can't make a better choice than Affectionately Cats.

My first and only (so far) experience with this 24/7 Emergency Veterinary Specialist was on Mon Dec…read more29, 2025. It was probably one of the most heartbreaking days in my 64 years. I brought my more than 13 year old male Beagle dog here because he was struggling to breathe the last 2 days. When I arrived about 11:15 AM there was no wait time, no one in the lobby which is one of the things that made this visit that made me feel, I can't really say good under the circumstances. The people at the front desk were probably the most kind and professional people I was glad to deal with when I was an emotional mess. I gave them a $200 deposit for the visit and they took my dog back to the vets to be seen as soon as I got there. I feared the worse and probably about 15 minutes later they called me back in a room to tell me they would have to put my dog "to sleep" (God knows I hated those words). But I have to give the workers and the professional vets I dealt with were probably God sent people to help me get through my situation. When I agreed he (my dog) should be cremated, the employees said they took up a collection in order to pay for it. When I got home after this heartbreaking experience I saw an email that said they refunded the $200 deposit so I called to verify. Me being a disabled USA Army veteran, I always struggle every month financially and it seems like I am out of money by the middle of every month but I do believe that with God's help I make it through each month. So it was a great burden lifted in such a heartbreaking time that I was charged nothing. I plan on saving to get another Beagle puppy dog from a breeder in the next several months. It amazes me how emotionally attached I had gotten to my Beagle over more than 13 years. I truly believe a dog can be a man's best friend and whether it is true or not it seems this dog gave me unconditional love that is difficult even in this wild world we live in the same unconditional love that is difficult to get from human beings. I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone this Emergency animal hospital that is open 24/7. I have the utmost respect for the workers there that went above and beyond with their kindness and professionalism. Good luck & Godspeed.
