Dr. Cruden gave my bunny Frodo tender loving care from his first wellness visit through to his euthanasia eight years later. Frodo loved Dr. Cruden (I just know) and Dr. Cruden treated him in kind. He and his staff handled Frodo with care and sensitivity especially on his final day. They took the edge off my grief and now my baby rests in a sweet little carved box. He will be with me and in my heart for an eternity. I'll be getting another bunny in June and already Dr. Cruden has accepted him as his patient. I look forward to dealing with All Pets in the near future.

They have helped us through everything with our animals from new puppies to sending our 19 year old Lab over the rainbow bridge. They could not have been better, kinder, more helpful to us. Dr. Crudens knows his stuff, but won't overmedicate or over-treat for things that can be resolved with dietary changes or simple fixes. The one emergency we had with out cat who caught a virus and required fluids, special diet and an overnight stay. The bill was less than I anticipated. Pet ownership is expensive, but in State College, All Pets is probably the most reasonably priced vet, and the care cannot be beat!

Dr. Siems, by working with their diets and suggesting FMT, was able to help them thrive until ages 14 and almost 19 years. When we had questions or concerns, she always returned calls and emails, mainly after hours. I never had any doubt as to her concern for our cats and for us as parents of fur-babies. She is knowledgeable, professional and compassionate. State College cat parents are lucky to have this exceptional vet.

When he was dying, I was quoted between $650 and $700 to have him put down and cremated. I was able to find another veterinarian who provided the same services for $160. I have since adopted another cat and have also found a new vet.

Metzger's is a full fledged animal hospital, with 24 hour emergency service at no additional fee. There's always a vet in the building, which was AWESOME when my dog had a crisis situation on Easter weekend. After a bad experience with a vet in my new city which failed to resolve the problem, I called them, and brought him in, no problem. The waiting room is clean and comfortable, and the exam rooms are immaculate. They pay very close attention to their clients and their human partners, and treated us with a huge amount of respect. My dog was seen, diagnosed, and had a treatment plan, all within two hours. Good vets are hard to come by, and if you're anywhere in north central Pennsylvania, there are none better. Metzger's practice is getting my business from now on.

We live in State college, which is about 45 minutes from Altoona, but State College rescues are very closed doors and put on their "best" face (I.e. you don't see many truly struggling animals come through, for whatever reason, or they don't show us). We are in Altoona at least once a week and discovered this rescue via Facebook. We've both followed it for a few years and seen the journey from their previous location in Hollidaysburg to the new cafe setup in downtown Altoona and we love the work that Summer is doing. She does all of this for free, all donations to the rescue go directly to cats and she somehow manages to save hundreds of cats lives (or provide a very caring and gentle exit from the world if absolutely necessary) while maintaining an actual job on the side to help her fund this. She's incredible. The cat cafe is still being set up a little bit when we went but it has the main adult cat room as well as a smaller kitten room, and they have a little merchandise and snack area up front. There are many volunteers but I know they're always looking for more! If you do visit the cafe, the main thing to remember is to either bring or be wearing socks!!! They don't allow shoes in the cat rooms so unless you want to get cat litter and fur between your toes (though I will say it was super clean when we went), it's just better to have some socks. The fee to go in is $10 a person, and again, that all goes to the cats. I found that very reasonable all things considered. And since everyone loves a success story, we have two cats currently, an 11-year old female (with a Napoleon complex) and a 2-year old male who was rescued from a bad situation in Texas (and we are still not entirely sure if all his brain cells made it back here with us). They get along pretty much on a bare minimum basis, and the older one just really can't stand how energetic our boy is. So we started considering a sibling closer to the boy's age that would be maybe a good play companion for him and mellow out the transition from grumpy old female to crazy young male. We contacted this rescue since kitten season is ramping up and decided to visit two kittens, one at the cafe and one at his foster home. The one in the cafe (Gordon!) was a great cat and very social and energetic but we just weren't sure if he was the right fit. The kitten at the foster home has had a really rough time adjusting to people but he loves other cats. He didn't want to come out from under the bed for us but would play with toys with us from under the bed. We decided, based really on his love of other cats but also on his foster saying he showed signs of being able to open up and socialize with people with enough time and patience, to adopt him and we are going on a little over 2 weeks now of him adjusting to our upstairs space. I was impressed by his foster for how well she cared for him and his siblings, and she seemed very perceptive about how he would adjust and she turned out to be right. I really admire this rescue and everyone involved, and if I lived closer I would 100% be volunteering there probably more than I could afford to! If you're in the area, I suggest checking out the cat cafe and following their Facebook page. They're the first of their kind in Altoona and I love to support that.
