My Max sees Dr. Gloor, who is wonderful. She's calm and treats Max very gently. It's pretty zen-like in the clinic because there are no barking dogs. I call Stephen the "cat guru" because he is so helpful with understanding cat behavior. All the staff is very friendly. read more

Great place to take our kitties. Very attentive and helpful when cats are not feeling so great. Went out of their way to meet us at the clinic once on a Saturday for special lysine treats. Just really care about the kitties they care for. Recommend if you don't want to take your cat to a place where they may have doggies in the lobby. read more

KC Cat Clinic - Veterinarians Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I cannot fathom a better veterinary practice than KC Cat Clinic. We have a large Maine Coon mix that has high anxiety when it comes to visiting the vet, especially when there are other animal scents (or sightings!) around. When we moved back to KC in 2015 we spent about a year trying to find a vet that would treat our big guy with care and love rather than recoil in fear when he lashed out at the vet. After the recommendation of a friend we called and were connected with Dr. Hodes. We warned her that he can be a bit ferocious at the vet, especially unmedicated, but she wanted to see him in his natural state for the first visit and while it ended up with him needing to be sedated, she explained that this can be normal behavior for cats, and for the first time ever our cat was treated like an actual patient and not like a problem. From that visit on we agreed to home visits and Dr. Hodes and her team have come to our home yearly to examine him and see him thriving in an environment that doesn't terrify him, and makes for an overall better experience for everyone. Now, I would give them 5 stars just for their compassion and coming to our home, but what puts them over the top is how communicative they are. This isn't the first time I've had to email Dr. Hodes with a question, but this past week our guy started to act lethargic and very sick. On a SATURDAY, Dr. Hodes responded to several emails and gave us tips, and even scheduled us an appointment, all over email on the weekend. Our cat is very sick this week, and while the prognosis is a bit unknown as I type this review, what I can say is that Dr. Hodes and the whole team at KC Cat Clinic worked their butts off for him while he was in their care and gave us honest and thoughtful advice and feedback. Some reviews may mention that their price can be a bit high, but if you want the very best care for your cat this is hands down the place, and I feel like the cost all balances out when you consider not only the quality of the care, but how available the vets are, and how invested and thoughtful they are with each patient. I wouldn't ever take a cat anywhere else. read more

I started going to KC Cat Clinic a couple years back. I'm so happy I made the switch from my previous vet. Warning, this will be long. Haha I had moved back to Kansas City from California and all the doctors at my previous vet were new and unfamiliar. They didn't seem to give thorough exams and gave up on my cats if they weren't behaving in the fifteen minute window. I know my guys can be a pain in the butt at the vet but I felt like I left without getting my cats teeth looked at, or heart listened to most times. With my cats being older, I wanted to make sure I was getting them checked out every year. They also wanted to put one of my cats under for routine blood work because he was difficult. He had some issues with his heart last time he was under anesthesia for a teeth cleaning so I wasn't comfortable doing that. So I found KC Cat Clinic!! :) I thought would be lower stress since they specialized in cats and there weren't dogs in the waiting room making my cats nervous. It was much better. All the doctors are so patient. And for check ups they are very thorough. They will spend an hour with you, and even though my cats are not happy at the vet, they seemed less rattled after returning home. Every doctor and tech handles my kiddos with care and doesn't push them. Instead of putting my cats under, they may use a stronger sedative if needed for blood work, but it's just a little more intense than his normal meds for the vet. Recently I have had the unfortunate news that my baby has cancer that has spread throughout his body. He had inexplicably started loosing weight and started to frequently vomit. I am devastated and a neurotic cat mom, so Ive has a million questions throughout the process while I wrap my head around what is happening. Dr. Hodes has been amazing. She has gone in detail with me what is going on, explained procedures, rules out every possibility. She has called me after hours, met with me in person, and responds to my ridiculously long emails with a million questions, pictures of poop, all of it. Beth is always wonderful, as are all the other receptionists watching the desk when I'm in. It is not the cheapest and it was a bit difficult making the switch since I started going there when I was a student still, but I know my cats are getting the care they deserve especially in extremely hard times like now. I'm cherishing the moments I have. And I just wanted to thank everyone there for understanding and helping me through this process. I highly recommend KC Cat Clinic. Best, Hannah Iago and Taki read more

KC Cat Clinic - Cats - Veterinarians Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

See all

We love KC Cat Clinic especially Dr. Hodes! Normally vet clinics seem to cater towards dogs, which made KC Cat Clinic more attractive for our feline friends. As soon as we walked in, we could tell our cats weren't scared; the atmosphere was immediately cat friendly. When our tortie started losing weight, Dr. Hodes was incredibly committed to finding the root cause; pushing for the right blood panels, giving us three different cat food samples and treats to try, and guiding us along the realities of an older cat with renal disease. We are so appreciative for KC Cat Clinic! read more

Being new to the KC area and needing a vet, I went Yelping and Googling, and this is what I came up with. I made an appointment for my cat and took him here early one morning. He was seen by Dr. Sundahl. She was amazing with him and she is very knowledgeable. This clinic is specifically for cats, so I kind of expected that it would be a bit fancy or expensive. It was both. My cat had a more thorough exam here than he's ever had in his life. Dr. Sundahl discovered that he has a bit of heart murmur "which is probably nothing." However, she recommended that he have some lab work drawn and that he may possibly need to see the cat cardiologist (there are such things?). I agreed to have the lab work, yearly rabies vaccination, and also picked up some Advantage. My total bill was about $325! Holy cats! Dr. Sundhal called with his lab results and wanted to see my cat again in about three months to do repeat lab work. At that price, I simply can't afford it. Also, the cat cardiologist she wanted him to see would be about $400. I actually work with humans who have heart problems, and the whole time I'm thinking "What are they going to do, open heart surgery?! It's a cat!" Also, not an option. I really feel that this clinic really cares and loves working with felines, but for the average Joe, it's a bit pricey. Dr. Sundahl and her staff offered a variety of information related to the "elderly cat" including tips on how to keep him properly hydrated, changes in behavior that could indicate a health problem, and a variety of other information I had previously been unaware of. Don't get me wrong, I love my hairy little beast. I want him to be healthy, and I'll do whatever is reasonably necessary to keep him in good shape. I'll definitely take my cat here once or twice a year for his checkups, but anymore than that, and I'd be broke. However, if you can afford KC Cat Clinic and you want to see a vet and staff who are more thorough and knowledgeable than other vets, this is your place. read more

This clinic staff are awesome! We've never received such high quality care anywhere. The Vet and Nurse spent 1 1/2 hours with us examining our Morris, giving him fluids, talking about what's going on with him. He has kidney disease, which means big changes for us as we learn how best to treat and care for him. We switched vets to KC Cat Clinic and wish we'd come here to begin with. Very high quality care from well qualified and empathetic staff. read more

KC Cat Clinic - Our Little Boy - Veterinarians Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Love this staff so much! Beth at the front desk, Holly, Hope, Dr. Hodes and Dr. Gloor helped us transition Figaro over the rainbow bridge. They worked with us to make sure he was comfortable during the holidays. And the whole team was supportive with hugs and love during the final procedure. He was cuddled in a blanket, sedated, and we left as he was sleeping and finally looked at peace after three months of cancer. He was only five so this was a tough experience and the staff lifted us up all the way. Figaro loved all the staff but Holly was his girl. She is so kind and loving to all tge precious patients. Thank you Dr. Gloor, Dr. Hodes, Holly, Hope, Beth, Gabrielle and the whole KC Cat Clinic team for all the love! read more

A friend of mine 10 or so years ago started using the KC Cat Clinic, loved them, and recommended them to me. At the time, we took our cats elsewhere, and then we moved away from KC for a bit. When we moved back, the cat clinic was very near to our house, so we definitely chose them for our kitties. I believe there are four doctors there, but I have really only worked with Dr. Sundahl and Dr. Gloor. They are both fantastic! Everyone who works there is so nice, patient, and truly cares about cats. It is a very small staff, and they really take the time to get to know all of the human caregivers in addition to the cats. Now...they are very into cats and their health, hence why they focus on them. They are very interested in weight management, elder cat care, dental health, and a number of other areas. Sometimes there are lots of recommendations. These are things that can really work, but that can add up to quite an expense too. The KC Cat Clinic understands that not everyone can afford everything for their kitty. They are very good at working with people to do the essentials, and don't get overly pushy with things. Besides veterinary services, they have a variety of diet and other foods, and a little area with a nice selection of cat toys, and products. They also do a fair amount of promotions, and are awesome at letting you know when pet food companies are increasing their prices so that you can buy food before the price goes up! A few other things I like about them: once you are a patient, you can drop your cats off for their appointment, and pick them up later in the day they call to follow up on how things are going, and always take the time to answer questions promptly the overnight care is not too expensive, and is good once again, they are just so darn nice! read more

I scheduled an appointment here to have two of my rescue fosters examined. They'd been seen by the local mixed practice in my town, but I wanted to have a specialist examine them because they had been suffering from a laundry list of problems since they'd be rescued at four weeks old from a hoarding case. The staff was INCREDIBLY friendly and welcoming, and the doctor was thorough, patient and listened to me explain their entire history. I was very comfortable that they were in good hands, and when we left (after a one+ hour exam), I felt good about our treatment plan. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone who owns a cat. The quiet environment and expert care make the visit a little less stressful for the kitties, and their owners! read more

EDITED TO RESPOND TO OWNER COMMENT: Let's just put it this way: in his years of life moving around the country with me, my cat has probably been to nearly a dozen different vets and animal clinics - including being hospitalized once. NOT ONCE did anyone notice a "heart murmur." In addition, he recently was put under for a teeth-cleaning and had one tooth pulled. ONE. Not the six that the Cat Clinic tried to convince us had to come out. Look - if you all have good experiences here, good for you. A good vet is increasingly hard to find, and I encourage you to take your kittypal wherever you're most comfortable. But I do NOT like alarmist tactics thrown into play to distress pet owners into spending more money, and that is 100% how I felt at this place. One Yelper's Experience =/= Law, but I warn my friends off of this place and won't ever take my cat back. If you're looking for a good (calm, reasonable) vet, I recommend Sarah at Noah's Ark in Brookside. ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW ********************* I'm with Brenna, but I'm actually going to even go one star lower. We were informed that our cat has a heart murmur and needs to see a cardiologist "ASAP." It's "probably nothing," but you see, our cat is apparently on the verge of losing most of his teeth due to poor dental hygiene and has to have a teeth cleaning. Never mind the fact that we brush his teeth (really, we do) and that he eats dry food and canned with equal gusto (normally, cats with dental distress avoid dry food). We've been told by three previous vets that the cat has some tartar buildup, but that if we're consistent with brushing, he shouldn't need a professional cleaning. Anyway! The Cat Clinic vet disagrees! (I can't remember her name, sorry). We can't do the cleaning until we see the cardiologist, because the cat has to be put under for the cleaning, and they won't do that until they KNOW that the heart murmur really is nothing. Get all that? We were also given a pile of completely alarmist information on how to cope with our supposedly "Senior" cat (he's 8, entirely-indoor and is unbelievably healthy and active). Apparently, because he's hit a certain age, our cat is Always On The Verge Of Death. Live in a state of constant panic, you guys! This totally different response from the previous three (excellent, brilliant) vets that we've had, paired with the aggressive push to do six-month checkups (completely unnecessary and also completely financially impossible for us) means that we'll be getting a second opinion. Honestly, I like a cautious vet, but the attitude at this place seems like cranked-to-eleven alarmism to me. I think I'm going to keep looking for another permanent vet. read more

We have a cat and a family vet (where my mother-in-law works), but it's quite a hike and difficult to get in on short notice. We found a very sickly stray at my husband's office and we were unable to get an appointment to get her checked out. The cat was skin an bones, covered in dirt and motor oil and looked like she was knocking on death's door. We wanted to keep the cat as long as she was savable. Having driven by countless times, I decided to call KC Cat and see if they could maybe squeeze me in. And they took a new customer with a random stray cat and made me feel like a life long customer. They thoroughly examined the poor cat and treated her with such sweetness, she "kneaded biscuits" the whole time they poke and prodded her. She had a few motor oil spots and they took care of those too. Knowing she was a stray, they gave me a bit of a discount as well. They performed just about every test you can imagine on the cat and made it easy to schedule follow-up appointments thanks to their convenient weekday hours. They even loaned me a cat crate to take her home in (she had been in an apple box). The doctor called me several times to follow-up, recommend treatments and explain test results. With their help, our new family member was nursed back to health in no time. Thanks to KC Cat Clinic, we have Clementine in our lives, and she makes us laugh everyday. My one knock: they might have been too thorough with their tests and diagnoses, but when your pets are your family members, that's what you want. read more

I LOVE KC Cat Clinic. I honestly can't say a negative thing about them. They are so friendly and responsive. You can email them at any time to ask questions. They clearly love cats and despite how busy they must be they always take the time to talk about what's going on with your kitty even if it's just talking about the funny things they've been up to. They're not the cheapest in town from my understanding but when we were going to get our cat spayed they let us know that they weren't the cheapest option and I really appreciated that. We still went to them though because we couldn't imagine taking them anywhere else after seeing how good they are to our kitty...even if she's sometimes a terror to them. read more

I must say I am very pleased with this company. I feel like some vets cater to dogs so I was incredibly happy to find one that exclusively does cats. It let me know that they specialize and recognize problems better. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about the KC Cat Clinic. I started bringing my rescue cat here, then COVID hit and lost my job. I was unable to afford my kitten's spay and they helped me find some local resources. Also, when my cat pulled out her stitches, the staff answered all of my questions and helped me get medication to help keep her calm during recovery. I trust and respect the vets and staff at KC Cat 100%. read more

Brought my cat here and they misdiagnosed him then denied it. They didn't listen to our concerns and he is now not with us any longer after taking medication he didn't need that didn't help what was really wrong with him. read more

I just got back from KC Cat Clinic with my senior kitty, Taki. He is such a sweet guy but as soon as someone tries to restrain him, he turns into the Hulk. Everyone at the clinic were so understanding of his anxiety and never made me feel that he was a troublemaker. Dr. Hodes and the vet techs were incredibly patient and explained to me my options in detail. My previous vet hadn't given him a thorough exam the week before and gave up on trying to take his blood unless he was put under. I didn't feel comfortable giving him anesthesia because of the last time he was under for dental and his heart slowed. That's when I decided to try KC Cat Clinic. They were successful getting his blood with some mild drugs and he never had to go under anesthesia! Yay! Dr. Hodes also did a thorough exam even though Taki is a bit of pill. She was really great with him even when he was trying to smack everyone in the face. He ended up having fleas which my vet didn't see days before. In short, I really felt like my cat was in good hands. The doctor and techs were calm, patient, and knowledgeable. I will be bringing my other cat here next time for his check up. Thank you! read more

This is a Cat-only place. I've always enjoyed the service here. It is top-dollar, though. Teeth cleaning with no extractions set me back $509 this week. That is steep. So, if you are willing to spend untold sums of money they will let you! Cats are subject to so many illnesses... but will survive through most of them without extensive intervention. You may have to say no to certain treatments here... so be prepared for that. The good part is that your cat will be handled with care here... they treat my cats better than I do... and that's saying something. :-) read more

They're staff is wonderful!! We originally had an appt for last week but my kitty was very anxious and ended scratching the Dr pretty badly. So they sent us home with another appt, some sedatives and tips to help things go smoother and they didn't charge us for the incomplete exam. Well today was our second appt and I was so impressed. While Cash was still anxious the sedatives made things so much easier and less stressful for everyone. They were so informative and gentle. We definitely found out forever vet! read more

Best care ever! I will only take my cat here. Staff is nothing but kind and sweet. They've never rushed through a visit just devoted as much time as needed on my girl. Plenty of snuggles, sweet words and patience with her when she's acting ornery. I cannot say enough good things about this practice. I feel so grateful and blessed I found them. I find their prices reasonable and staff very knowledgeable and just wonderful. I have my full faith in them! They will always be kind and never rush you to get to the next patient. We've seen several doctors and staff in the treatment room and they've all been outstanding and just genuinely good animal loving people. I've always had animals growing up and by far this is the best veterinarian clinic I've ever had. My girl is treated like a rock star the second she walks in and I've never had any concerns with her treatments. It's a bit of a drive to get there from where I live but definitely worth it. Covid-19 procedures in place. Everyone is kept safe and happy. I have no intention of taking Joie anywhere else. 100% satisfied and happy! Thank you everyone for taking such good care of Joie! read more

Dr. Sundahl and the staff at KC Cat Clinic are excellent. We took our four cats to the Clinic over the eleven years we lived in Kansas City. Dr. Sundahl made our cats feel comfortable during routine exams. She and all of the staff were "there for us" when one of our cats was diagnosed with cancer. She helped us care for our diabetic cat Max and taught us how to give daily insulin shots. Max lived a long, happy life because of Dr. Sundahl's understanding of the disease and her caring approach. She was always available to answer our questions and to help us make the best decisions for our cats' health. The other doctors and all of the staff are very professional and experienced. They love cats and understand cat behavior. I have great confidence in everyone at the Clinic. It was wonderful to take our cats to a Clinic that specializes in cats. We now live in Florida. We really miss having Dr. Sundahl take care of our cats. Our cats miss her too! read more

From the first call to the receptionist to the vet tech to the vet herself was wonderful. My cat and I had gone through a lot for a month with another office and I wasn't pleased. So I am so happy I found this place. They made us feel so safe and welcomed. They walked me through everything. I just really appreciate everything they did for us. I would most definitely recommend them to anyone who owns a cat. Thank you again for taking such good care of us. read more

I've owned 5 cats over the course of 20 years, lived in 6 different cities and been to many vet clinics over the years. This is, far and away, the best veterinary clinic I've ever visited. I've experienced everything from having to put down my elderly cat here to general check-ups, teeth cleanings and diagnostic issues and have encountered nothing but the most caring, experienced, professional and conscientious staff. My cats are in the best hands here and I couldn't be happier I found this place. I have total peace of mind that my cats are getting the best care they could be getting and that makes me very grateful. read more

I can't even talk about the KC Cat Clinic highly enough. I had two cats that were older (14 and 15) and one ended up with cancer (Dr Sundahl bought us another year with her and was kind and honest with us about her prognosis). Recently, my 14 year old cat (the cat that is so important to me, more than anything in the world) had a seizure and wouldn't eat. It happened over Memorial Day weekend, so we took him to the vet ER (VCA Mission). The ER vet told us that there was something wrong with his brain and that he'd die soon. We spent two days of the long weekend believing this was the case. We took him to our regular vets at KC Cat Clinic after the weekend and they diagnosed him with pancreatitis and found a bunch of stuff with a physical exam that the ER doc didn't. He got a serious treatment plan, and later a feeding tube, and is doing well. There have been a couple of times where I had seen other vets (when I first moved to KC) and they threw up their hands or told me the last option was a super expensive surgery. Dr Sundahl and Dr Gloor have had about a thousand steps to try before the crazy thing the other vets wanted to try. I have had cats all my life and they are so, so important to me. I've never had better vet care than I have with KC Cat Clinic. When my sweet girl was dying, they were so compassionate and came to our house to end her suffering, instead of doing it at her least favorite place. Truthfully, I cannot recommend anyone else in the city as highly as I do this vet. They will seriously save your baby's life. They really care about cats, not like many vets who are in it for the money. I am sitting here with my cat that should have died (according to other vets) and he is doing really well, purring and hanging out with me when (according to everyone else) he should be dead. They are so sweet with kitties, even jerks (like mine) and truly explore every option, so you know you're getting the best care. The vet techs are amazing, too. They clearly love kitties and are so sweet and loving, even when the kitty is trying to scratch their eyes out! I know this review is long, but I owe many years of my kitties' lives to Dr Sundahl and Dr Gloor, and there is no way I can thank them enough. If you want the best kitty care, go to this vet!! They are so kind and compassionate, and are clearly kitty people! read more

Dr. Gloor and her staff treated my two elderly cats with a lot of tenderness, patience and kindness. Both kittes finally died at an old age, and we received handwritten sympathy cards from her each time. Pretty soon, we will be looking for a new rescue cat, and we would not dream of going anywhere but the KC Cat Clinic! read more

I have used the KC Cat Clinic since about 1999. Over that time, they have treated my cats with the utmost skill and concern. They are not inexpensive. To be sure, though, you are not getting cut rate care either. Drs Sundahl and Gloor are both dedicated to feline medicine, and they are amoung few Veterinarians that specialize in cats only. So, by limiting their practice by at least half of the pets available, something has to give, I suppose. I am certain that Smokey is alive today because of their thorough exams and care. A follow up call for lab results is always received the next day, along with a frank discussion of the good and the bad. I am thankful that these folks have chosen to offer feline only DVM services in this area. Also, I appreciate the late evening hours currently offered on Mon/Tues, as well as drop off services, although I have only done that once. read more

Meh. I've experienced better. New to Kansas City and moving from a temporary location to a permanent location and exploring options to board the cat for a few days and options for a new vet for the cat. And so I called KC Cat Clinic and inquired as to the options to board a cat for a few days. The response was an immediate no unless you are a current established customer. And so I inquired what would be required to be a current established customer. In the end I noted the less than hospitable first impression and an indication both the cat and myself are better off elsewhere. And so yes, I've experienced better. read more

I have been following Dr. Sundahl and the KC Cat Clinic around for about 30 years! She and her staff love cats. When you take your kitty in for a routine exam/vaccinations, he/she really get a little physical - eyes, ears, throat, tummy, heart are all checked. And especially teeth. Two years ago we adopted two shelter cats and took them to a participating vet for the free exam which came with the adoption, who said all was fine. Later, just to be sure, I ran them by Dr. Sundahl and found that they had severely inflamed gums. Cats are so stoic, but they assuredly had to be in lots of discomfort, if not pain. We had the clinic do a "dental" on both of them - which involved the extraction of several teeth which were unsalvageable. Willie and Nelson no longer have "kitty breath" (ick) and, after a couple of follow up visits, they have maintained pretty good dental health. I am sure they had been suffering - but cats often do not show it until they are really in trouble. Others of our "kids" have had zero dental problems, so it is just problematic in some cats....The staff at the clinic is SO thorough. And we always get follow up calls after procedures. I think that regular, well-cat visits to the vet are a small price to pay for these little creatures who creep into our hearts ....The doctors and staff at the KC Cat may not retire! read more

I'll begin with a positive comment about the vet techs at KC Cat Clinic. They really deserve 5 stars as they handled my dying kitty with such care. The doctor at KC Cat Clinic deserves 0 stars, and that is why I gave only 2 stars overall. My kitty had a terminal disease, but upon an exam and bloodwork they tried to convince me to take out a $2500-$3000 dollar loan for xrays and surgery to make him "feel better". In my moment of panic and despair they took advantage of me by charging me what they did for the initial appointment. They almost had me convinced about taking out this loan for further care, but instead I decided to seek a second opinion. The next veterinarian determined that my kitty's condition was fatal upon a physical exam, and confirmed this with xrays, and sampling body fluids. He was then euthanized and put out of his misery. The cost for the second veterinarian to examine him, do xrays, take body fluids, euthanize, and cremate him was 1/3 of the cost KC Cat Clinic Charged for the initial appointment of examination and in-house bloodwork. I feel taken advantage of and ripped off by KC Cat Clinic when there was no hope for my cat to live. This whole scenario leads me to believe that KC Cat Clinic would prolong an animal's misery if it means more money for them. I am heartbroken over losing my kitty, I feel like I was taken advantage of in a weak moment, and I do not recommend KC Cat Clinic. read more

i say the opposite. she treated my cat bad and was not friendly at all. we left quick fast and in a hurry
