*** Capital Cat Clinic changed their name to NOVA Cat Clinic. What follows is a slightly edited review of what I wrote for CCC, because while their name has changed, their commitment to and love for cats, has not.*** I've been taking my cats to this clinic for over 6 years now. I first brought my cats here because I was new to the area and the clinic was two blocks from my apartment. At the time I had two cats. A SUPER social female and a SUPER shy male. Because of their personalities my female got her exam first and the vet let her hang out in the exam room. She explored every inch and then sat in the sink while my male got his exam. He hid his face in my shirt the entire time and the vet just worked around that. When I found a stray in my parking lot a few years ago, the clinic did her initial exam. She was extremely emaciated and skittish but they took good care of her. I ended up keeping her (because no one would adopt her and all the no-kills and rescue agencies were full) and as she started to eat, she started to get fat and I began to think that she was mostly likely pregnant. Back to the clinic we went. On the ultrasound it showed several kitten heartbeats. Later, when the kittens were born, 3 lived and two were stillborn. I called up the clinic (because initially it was thought that she might have 6 kittens and I was worried that she had been in labor too long) they had me bring her and the kittens in. I couldn't bring myself to simply throw out the stillborn kittens and the clinic arranged to have them taken to the crematorium that they use. Mama and the 3 babies got check-ups and everyone was fine. I had never raised kittens before and vet-tech Ellen was very patient and answered numerous emails from me about whether or not things the kittens or the mama were doing were normal. All of the kittens found homes. I've also had excellent experiences with the front desk staff. I once had to leave my cat for the day for tests but didn't want to leave her overnight. I got stuck in traffic trying to get to Arlington from DC, called the clinic, and one of the staff stayed late so that I could pick up my cat. Is this clinic more expensive that a general prac vet in Calvert County? Yes, but from the comparisons I have done, they aren't more expensive than other vets in the Arlington area. Besides, all of the staff love cats and really understand how important cats are to their owners. Even after moving several miles away, I still take my cats here. read more

Upon further reflection, I feel that my last review was too generous in rating this facility's quality of care. After a less than stellar experience at NoVa, wherein my cat visited 4 times in one year and could not have his problems diagnosed, I took my poor boy back to my old vet in Chicago to get answers. My old vet easily and without prompting, diagnosed my cat's itchy ear as a benign ear tumor. (NoVa could not diagnose this). Additionally, my old vet found me a new vet in Fairfax who, for a better price than NoVa, aggressively treated my cat's howling and vomiting and kept him out of obvious pain while he lost to lymphoma. NoVa merely offered gabapentin (ie, crazy pills) which made him loopy. So, to recap, NoVa is expensive, insensitive, and low quality. Please read my original review for more details on this site's lack of professionalism. In short, the techs don't seem to understand that patients can hear through paper thin walls and will make disparaging remarks about clients. read more

Previously Capital Cat Clinic, this is still my favorite vet for my cats. The staff is absolutely outstanding...very gentle with my guys and never try to push unnecessary procedures or service. Dr Brown is the best. read more

I have been coming here since Shelby was 2 years old, when he developed mild IBS. Dr. Brown has helped Shelby have a continued happy and healthy life, regardless of his dietary needs, and has even helped us find the proper care for his Lymphoma and now his Diabetes. We are extremely grateful for him, and the work he does. We would be lost without him. read more

So everyone is very nice but the services are not affordable to everyone, like me.My Odin is large cat not just girth with lots of fur, very docile, afraid of everyone else and in his 8 year life never have to be put down for grooming, but because it's a cat clinic I figured they know better. So for his Senior visit and blood work before the grooming 300 bucks ! Ok well no I can get him groomed, that's another almost 300!. Ouch ! If u can afford it they're nice and courteous. They also sent me a reminder it had been six weeks since his last grooming! Sorry guys I'm broke! read more

These guys are AMAZING!!!!!! I've been taking my one co-owned cat, Rasputin, here for about a year and Nova Cat Clinic is the perfect place. I don't know why I even bothered to check other places for my new rescue, Coconut. I was worried about pricing here because Coconut isn't on our pet insurance yet but they're very reasonable and willing to work with people and real life situations. They're even letting me drop her off so I don't miss a medical appointment I have that's around the same time frame as Coco's initial visit. I can not say enough good things about this organization. Kind, respectful, genuily love the cats they work with. Thank you so much Nova Cat Clinic. You're worth the drive from Woodbridge or Oxon Hill. Please never change!! read more

My cats have been going here for years (used to be a different name). The staff are all very friendly and knowledgable. Two of my cats were recently diagnosed with cancer, they did a good job explaining my options. I had many questions for them and they were very patient and helpful. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. read more

I can't say enough good things about NoVA. They make you feel at home, treat your cat like family and don't try to take every last penny from you. I'm always confident that the care that my cat is getting is top notch, and that I'm not being taken advantage of. When my cat was showing symptoms and we thought we would have to take her to an emergency vet, they were able to squeeze her in the following day, followed up via e-mail and phone regularly to check on her progress, and took overall phenomenal care of her. I am definitely a loyal customer! read more

Our cat received excellent care from everyone in the Clinic, getting specialized I-131 therapy for hyperthyroidism. They kept her in their specialized rooms and monitored her at all times. Dr. Brown also gave us daily update reports so we knew how our kitty was reacting to the treatment. They even have remote cameras so we could see her from our home in Cleveland! Shuggy is cured, thanks to the Nova Cat Clinic team, and has already gained weight, and we couldn't be more thankful. Excellent care and excellent customer service and excellent facility. Thank you! read more

Been going to NOVA Cat for more than 5 years now (back when they had a different name). They have consistently been excellent and I wouldn't take my cat anywhere else. Highly recommended and I've never had a bad experience. read more

Recently, one of my cats had been feeling sick (diarrhea and vomiting weekly) and I took her and my other kitty in for a checkup. Dr. Barron worked with me to figure out an affordable solution to the problem (e.g. waiting to do additional tests until prior ones came back, etc). It ended up being her food causing the issues, which a prescription diet fixed. She's now a very happy, diarrhea free kitty. Dr. Barron and other staff emailed every few days following the appointment to check up on my kitty. I loved the fact they cared enough about my cat to stay in contact with me and monitor her progress for over a month. I plan to continue taking my cats here for as long as I live in Virginia. read more

I have been taking my pets to NoVa for almost a year now after moving to Arlington from Boston, where we went to a world-class animal hospital. NoVa has been fantastic through thick and thin. The office is going to move in several months but for now they're in a nice old house, Metro accessible and with decent parking. I have always seen Dr. Barron who is a thorough clinician and a total sweetheart. She always treats me respectfully and thoughtfully--explaining things for someone who's not a veterinarian but never talking down to me and letting me make the final decisions about how to take care of my cats (though I get the feeling we're usually on the same page). They are constantly working to improve their standards of care by using new treatments from Chinese herbs and acupuncture to advanced laser therapy. They send out some of their lab work to Cornell, which is the single highest-rated veterinary college in the United States, and they also have a setup where they do one test at a time until they find something and when they get an answer they stop rather than charging for further, unneeded tests. When I brought my 17-year-old lady in with a big bump on her leg, Dr. Barron was very frank in saying that she felt it was probably cancer--and then she gave me a big hug. We worked together to make Patches comfortable and then when she suddenly went downhill in March, I brought her to NoVa but it was outside of office hours so no one was available to help me say goodbye. I went to another practice that has extended hours but Dr. Barron called a few hours later because she'd heard that I came into the office and she was very kind and sweet. Then a week or so later I got a card in the mail signed by all the NoVa staff. The absolute finishing touch was later that month when I received a letter from the school of veterinary medicine at Cornell acknowledging a donation in memory of my cat to their programs that will help research and improve cat health and veterinary care for years to come. In a situation where I felt like there was nothing I could do, the staff at NoVa managed to make some small bit of good out of it. I have been telling myself I need to write this review for months now, and last week I had another wonderful experience with NoVa that sealed the deal. One of my current two cats decided to take a couple days off from using the litter box, which I thought might be related to her annoyance with our crazy kitten, or something more serious. Dreading the hundreds of dollars in examinations and tests that might await but on the other hand considering the cost of a new couch, I called NoVa and explained the situation briefly. The assistant put Dr. Brown (the practice owner) on the phone and he talked to me for ten or fifteen minutes, at absolutely no charge. He was truly paying attention and I could tell he was looking at our files and past notes. He took my concerns seriously, seemed to understand the cats' behavior, and discussed several options with me. He also took into account the fact that some solutions (like keeping the cats separated all the time) might be nice ideas but just aren't going to happen based on our home and lifestyle. The bottom line is these people really care about you and your cats. If you think the prices are high, shop around and consider what you would pay for your own healthcare without insurance. If you want a practice where you can trust all the staff and have the information you need to make the right choices, and the resources to give your cats the care you choose, go to NoVa. read more

I have been taking my cats to NoVA for years, but on Dec. 15, 2015, my visit with one of my cats had a horrible outcome. My cat's symptoms were lethargy and not eating. NoVA x-rayed her and took blood. The x-ray showed that something was amiss in her digestive track. She was given fluids, a B-12 injection, an anti nausea injection, and we left with the recommendation that she receive an ultra sound to determine if she had motility issues/a hairball that wouldn't move/and/or IBD. While this wasn't great news, things weren't hopeless. However, that day in the reception area was a cage with five little kittens--rescued "sewer" kittens--that had been there for a day or so according to a staff person. One of the desk assistants said the kittens had respiratory issues, so if you touch them, use hand sanitizer. I had not touched them, but used the hand sanitizer anyway, once I found it. Decided to stay away from the kittens. While I was waiting for my cat, one of the staff members squatted next to the cage, pulled out one of the kittens, whose entire rear end was soaking wet, and played with it for a few minutes. Then she put it back in the cage, and went up stairs. No gloves, no hand sanitizer. No precautions at all in handling these kittens. Seemed to me the kittens, in a "day or so" could not have been cured of whatever they might have had wrong with them. Two days later, almost to the hour, my cat had an alarming amount of thick discharge from her nose. I called NoVA. They wanted me to bring her back in, but I explained what I had seen on Tuesday and there was no way I was bringing her back. I requested an antibiotic which I picked up that afternoon. My cat was subsequently hospitalized elsewhere to deal with the hairball, but she developed a raging viral upper respiratory infection. On Dec. 26, rather than put her through any more procedures and heroic measures which may or may not have altered the outcome, she was put down. I'm still in shock that the staff at NoVA did not follow any infectious disease protocol in handling those kittens and that they chose to keep them caged in the reception area. Dr. Brown did call me to say he was sorry. I hope, for the sake of all the other cats that go to NoVA, that they make some changes so that no one else goes through what I experienced. read more

I've been coming to this clinic for the past 6 years, and just went back for a yearly visit yesterday -- Dr. Marcus Brown is a caring veterinarian who takes time to talk to you and cares about communication. He provides practical advice and doesn't try to sell unnecessary tests or treatments; I appreciated his friendly "bedside manner" and his nonjudgemental take on my self-admitted failure to brush my cats' teeth (more power to you if you're successful at this!) and my preference for feeding them primarily dry food. I have also seen several other providers in this clinic in the past years, and have had great experiences with them all. Of note, last year I had both cats' teeth cleaned under anesthesia and one unexpectedly had FIVE extracted so was on a hefty dose of pain meds; the Nova Cat Clinic staff called and emailed me to check up on him afterwards and be sure that he was returning to his usual self. They are all very helpful and caring. Highly recommended. read more

This place is amazing! They're always very fair on prices, and super receptive to pet insurance. You can tell they genuinely care about their cats based on their foster program. read more

My cat had an enormous tumor on his neck. Other vets said that as long as it's benign then there should be no problem. Fast forward to three years later and my cat has been scratching the tumor bloody at every chance. I took him in here -- a bit nervous about the new experience (as was my cat). But they laid out a plan to remove the tumor. They were quick, friendly and I felt at ease putting my cat in their care. I'm really glad we choose NoVa Cat Clinic for the surgery. They were a little pricey but well worth the cost. Now my cat is happy as can be and he thanks me with many cuddles. Thanks! read more

I can't say enough great things about this vet. The facility is cat only, which means the environment in the waiting room is relaxed and cats don't get overly stressed. The whole place is decorated beautifully and has pheromones to calm the cats. The veterinarians and vet techs are so caring toward the cats, taking time to play with them and approaching them in a non threatening manner. I also like that they took my cats' blood in front of me so I could see how gentle they are. The vet even took time to explain the values of one of my cat's previous test results and was collaborative with me in coming up with a plan for his care going forward. Prices were reasonable (for the DMV area) and they have a rewards program. read more

Had a great experience here. I have an 18 year old, occasionally cranky cat, who needed his annual check-up and rabies vaccine. From the people at the reception desk, to the tech who took weight, to the doctor, everyone was kind, gentle, and professional. They ended up doing most of the cat's exam on the window sill, because that was where he was happy. They didn't try to upsell services, and made good, useful suggestions. Although I hope we won't need to be back anytime soon, I would absolutely recommend this practice. read more

This is a clinic that really cares about cats and wants to do what is best for them. They show kindness by not declawing cats. They stopped doing that 15 years ago. As a veterinarian who doesn't declaw they are ethical and won't do a procedure like that because it is harmful to cats and causes them problems afterward. Thank goodness Nova Cat Clinic is a vet you can depend on to give your cat the best care. read more

Brought our cat here for a second opinion on a lump - as I wanted to speak with a cat specialist. I've never seen a vet be so aggressive/rough with an animal in my life. I was almost in tears at how they were treating him for just a routine check up. They refused to let me help them calm him down. We were sent home with no diagnosis- a sense that nothing was urgent that needed treatment . A $100 bill and a cat who is clearly injured from the visit - as he now will not eat or drink anything. I am in shock that this vet is allowed to practice. Borderline animal cruelty!! read more

Dr Barron helped Eeyore through a urinary infection, complete with a laser treatments. Everything was reasonably priced and I trust the care. read more

After recently moving to the area one of my cats became sick and I reached out to NOVA Cat Clinic in a panic. Not only did they (later found out the owner and vet himself!) communicate with me after hours to set an appointment and find out my cat's aliment, they fit us in next day even though they were completely booked. Then, to top it off, they sent us home with new toys for both cats (even though they had never met the second one!) It was also really affordable (including meds) and they followed up to see how my cat was feeling a few days later. This is how business should be done for any type of company. Can't say enough nice things! Would highly reccomend! read more

I love this place! They take great care of my two kitties and always fit me in for an appointment quickly. I love that they offer holistic care like acupuncture. read more

Everyone here is really nice but they push a lot of unnecessary stuff. We brought our three cats here for about a year or so, because the location was convenient and my cats definitely prefer to go to cats-only vets. My cats were all 5-6 years old at the time. We saw Dr Barron. At every appointment, she pushed really hard for dental treatments. She'd tell us all three of our cats had gum disease and needed to have cleanings and possibly 3-4 tooth extractions each! I thought this was strange considering our cats had been going to other vets regularly before we moved here, and no one had ever mentioned dental concerns. Our cats had been eating fine. The way Dr Barron described it, you'd think our cats were on the brink of death. Somehow, this dental recommendation worked its way into every appointment (for example, on one occasion, one of our cats scratched the other and caused a slight infection/wound. The cat kept licking the wound and it wasn't healing, so I brought her into Dr Barron. Despite the open, oozing wound, Dr Barron tried telling us that the infection was caused by my cats teeth and that we needed a cleaning/extraction immediately. Give me a break). Anyway, because she kept making the dental situation sound sooo dire (and making us feel like terrible pet parents for not doing a $1000 cleaning/extractions) we started going down the path toward the dental cleaning. I was not opposed to the cleaning itself, but I suspected - based on Dr Barron's statements - that I'd pick the cats up from the cleaning and find out that several teeth had been removed without my consent. We paid hundreds of dollars to do the blood work necessary before the cleanings but I just couldn't ever bring myself to schedule the actual cleaning because I didn't trust that they would just do the cleaning and I wanted a second opinion before I consented to multiple extractions. I just had a bad feeling about it. We sought a second opinion and went to Kingstowne cats. Interestingly, the doctors at Kingstowne said my cats have perfect teeth. We've never once been pressured to have multiple extractions. It makes me so mad thinking of the time and money I spent listening to Dr Barron tell me that my cats were dying from gum disease. I'm so glad I sought a second opinion and didn't put my babies through the unnecessary tooth removal surgeries. We've switched vets and won't ever go back to Dr Barron/NOVA. After that experience I just can't recommend NOVA - you can't trust them. They recommend expensive stuff just to try to get you to pay more (and probably to fund the office move that they've been talking about for years...) read more

This cat clinic fit my cat's personality and my budget. The first visit my cat, Ash, visited was after he knocked his top, left-front, fang tooth out (no idea how). NOVA has a dental specialist who removed the tooth, examined for any further damage, and cleaned his teeth while he was sleeping. The staff was very nice, understanding that I needed a price quote for the surgery that covered everything that might happen (if he needed another tooth removed, extra anesthesia for example), and called me during and after the procedure so I would not worry too much. I was happy, the cat seemed happy on his pain killers and it came out cheaper than they quoted! When I go out of town, I call to let them know I have a cat sitter who has permission for emergency situations, which they understand and not in their system. Great folks, really like them. read more

Love love love Nova Cat Clinic. I've been taking my cats here for the past five years, and I'm very happy with them. All of the doctors and staff are great, friendly, and they truly seem to care about and enjoy my kitties. They have all provided excellent care for my girls along with free tlc and affection! No cat likes going to the vet (mine included), but the vets and staff at Nova Cat Clinic make the experience as easy, painless, and stress-free as possible. They seem to genuinely care about my cats as if they were their own, and that makes all the difference. Highly recommend read more

This One Star Rating (because I cannot give zero stars) is about my recent Boarding experience. I had to board my three cats, all of whom see Vets at this clinic, for three days to keep them away from the fumes of hardwood floors refinishing. I picked them up three days later only to learn that my two girls were extremely stressed the entire time, didn't eat, didn't urinate. NO ONE thought to call me at any time to tell me this. The practice manager calmly told me all of this when I picked them up. I was shocked and truthfully, sickened with guilt at how my cats did. Next day, I emailed them about how greatly disappointed I was with lack of care not to mention hefty price tag over $300. Practice manager emailed me and asked that I call her at my convenience which I did immediately. She kept telling me they did all they could -- putting in a privacy screen, giving them the calming scent (which never works) and allegedly talking to the vets. I was exasperated by her tone -- not apologetic or caring just matter of fact. I told her I called the first night to ask about them and was told they were settling in nicely. She was only concerned about whom I spoke with. I asked her why someone didn't someone call me and tell me about how bad they were doing? Again, her matter of fact tone and response was that they don't call unless emergency. Maybe I care too much about my cats? I can only write about my personal experience and leave it up to you to decide what to do. I am sure I will also be finding another vet for my cats. Right now I am too angry to look at any of them ever again. read more

I absolutely love this place. The staff is awesome and the care provided is top notch. Tiana is fantastic.

I have been a client for about 15 months. I give this practice an A plus in all respects. Dr Brown is extemely skilled, friendly and articulate. The staff is top notch in all respects. The house where they are located is getting a little worn. But I understand the clinic will move to a new facility next year. I enjoy the house cats and rescue kittens (adoptable) when we go. Highly recommend for any cat owner read more

Well, I must say I m disappointed how my interaction with the clinic went today. I have always been a fan of this place and have referred many people here. My cat has been seen recently and after the initial exam, we decided to wait and see if his condition( a cyst on his tail) worsens. The bill was pretty high( $140) for a simple exam and an antibiotic shot but obviously I figured we 'll be in good hands and will be taken care of going forward and thats worth it. So things did go South for us and the cyst busted. I called in to see if we can be fit in the schedule, since its a follow up on a condition that I assumed the doc was commited to see through at this point. I was hoping that the doctor herself will be notified so she can check her availability and someone will call us back with options. Instead we only got an option to be seen right then and there, which I could not do, or to be seen in the far enough future to potentially wait for an infection. The other option was the emergency clinic. While I understand that that the doc might not be able to fit us in for an extensive surgery and other lengthy procedures,BUT I do sincerely feel like a 10 minute visit could ve been arranged just to see if a simple antibiotic was an option, since I,did clean the wound out. And go from there. But we are left hanging. Had to schedule a whole new visit with Caring Hands cause we had nowhere else to turn. Update: got treated by Caring Hands with deep wound cleansing and also given antibiotic pills as well as it being an Emergency visit (extra cost) and STILL ended up paying less than I did for Nova's basic exam and a shot. Not exactly inspired to rush back to see Nova folks anytime soon. read more

I love love love NoVA Cat Clinic! I moved to the area back in 2013 and took my two adopted cats in after reading the rave Yelp reviews. With previous pets I hated taking them to the vet because the environment would always stress them out (noises, smells, other animals, etc.). At NoVa Cat Clinic, the cat only environment is wonderful and staff is great. When I moved to Boston for a short period, I missed this place! When we moved back, I was extremely happy to be able to take them here again. read more

I have been taking my two cats to NOVA for the past two years for both vet and boarding services, and I love them! The all-cat atmosphere is great, and I love how there are usually kittens running around the lobby - that's actually how we ended up getting our second one! The vets always give you options and costs instead of pressuring you into any treatments. The staff is super helpful, once even helping arrange for a friend to pick up my cats from boarding when my flight was delayed coming home. I reccommend NOVA Cat Clinic to everyone I know! read more

I can't say enough good things about NOVA Cat Clinic. As an animal rescuer, there is no where else I would imagine taking my rescue animals or my personal pets. Ellen Carozza LVT is an absolute genius, and an expert in neonatal kitten health. Dr Marcus Brown always goes above and beyond to help with the cases I bring in. Their surgical procedures and anesthesia protocols are safer than any other clinic in the area. They care deeply about their patients. And they are willing to take on even the most difficult situations that I bring to them. Thank you NOVA Cat Clinic! read more

I have taken my cats to NoVa Cat Clinic for at least 14 years (it was Capital Cat Clinic back then), and even though I have moved away from Arlington four years ago, I have decided to come back to NoVa, as I've simply not been as satisfied with other veterinary practices. Dr. Brown is, quite simply, the best veterinarian I've ever come across. His genuine love for and understanding of cats and their unique personalities and challenges is evident in everything he does. He stays on top of the latest research, he's always willing to try things that may be "outside the box," and he goes the extra mile. Staffers have always been friendly and helpful. All vets in the DC area are pricey. But I can say that NoVa Cat Clinic is cheaper (on average, of course it depends what you're in for) than at least one other practice and emergency service clinic in DC... and Dr. Brown is better informed and more willing to try things out instead of immediately recommending pricey and largely unecessary surgical procedures. I am happy to be a returning customer ... the drive from Silver Spring to Arlington is worth every minute, as I am confident my beloved cats are getting the best possible care. read more

Doctor Brown is one of the best vets that I've ever been to. He found a condition in my cat within 5 minutes of holding her that two other had vets missed. He's compassionate and easy to talk and really is an expert in his speciality. The lack of barking dogs also helped my kitty deal with the stress of going to the vet. read more

I have now taken three kittens to NOVA Cat Clinic to be spayed / neutered. I have been very happy with everyone I have encountered there . . . online, via phone and in person. Most importantly, my babies have done beautifully after their surgeries. Although I have gone to the same vet for 20 years, he is winding down his practice so I expect I will be taking my crew to NOVA for all of their medical needs soon, despite the fact that I am one of those Marylanders who has trouble navigating Virginia!. So happy to have found them :-) read more

Extremely disappointed with my experience, especially give how positive the majority Yelp reviews have been for Nova Cat Clinic. I had a very sick cat that ultimately passed away in September 2018. I visited Nova Cat Clinic, my selected primary veterinarian office, as a follow-up to my cat's hospitalization in intensive care for acute kidney failure. My assigned veterinarian stated that she was new to the practice, but she was pleasant and seemed knowledgeable enough during the office visit. The vet techs and the front desk staff were professional and courteous. The problems started after that visit. I received conflicting communications from the front desk staff on the phone and by email about how to refill prescription meds from reputable online stores. After some back and forth and a couple of days of my waiting for a medication, a vet from the clinic (not the same one I dealt with during the visit) called me to clear up the confusion and even offered to deliver the medication to me as the office was closed at the time. I really appreciated and was impressed by the kind offer. I instead picked up the medication on the next business day, but noticed that the prescribed dosage on the bottle was four times the appropriate size for that medication. After comparing the bottle to an older bottle for the same medication, and suspecting an error, I sent a message to the clinic asking for clarification. Unfortunately, I never heard back from anyone. I also asked to discuss a more aggressive treatment option, as my cat's condition was not improving. No response. I ultimately took the cat back to the hospital, where the cat received superb care until it had to be euthanized. Nova Cat Clinic must have been notified by the hospital that my cat had died, because an online store informed me that the Clinic had cancelled a prescription for an order that had been pending. However, it is now October 2018, and I have not been contacted by the Clinic. I am not a big complainer. In fact, this is my first Yelp review ever. Losing a pet that had been part of my family for 15 years was really hard, and I feel that Nova Cat Clinic could have made the experience a little less stressful if they had been more conscientious. I hope that my experience was the exception and not the rule for this well-regarded clinic. I will be taking my remaining cat to another all-cat veterinarian in an adjoining county. read more

NOVA Cat Clinic is amazing. I've been going there for 3 years, and I adopted my second cat from them. I always feel like my concerns are addressed and my cats are handled well. I love that they focus on humane handling of cats (the Purrito instead of scruffing them to keep them still) and that they encourage owner engagement (drawing blood in the exam room). I know that if something happens, Nova Cat Clinic will be there to help! read more

Very very disappointed. Aged cat was ill and not eating well at all. Took her to NOVA cat clinic where we were told about dental disease and matting of hair as if those were the big issues. Blood work was done after a list of prices was given without mention that she appeared quite I'll. We thought so but we also thought they were the experts. Cat was emaciated and yet the vet did not recommend anything to help her eat or be taken care of. The issue is that this clinic, or perhaps the doctor we went to, has no triage knowledge. As a health professional myself this is frightening. In addition, we had to call the clinic to find out blood test results otherwise we probably would not have heard from them. Needless to say, the test results were critical. Our cat succumbed to her ailments two days later. If your cat needs any emergency needs, or perhaps any more important needs, forget this place. So maybe it's a place for wellness checks and vaccinations but forget any kind of serious ailment management. Business as usual. You will be on your own! Good luck! Go to a reputable emergency hospital, like the Animal hospital on Columbia Pike that had empathetic and quick service. They are also open 24 hours. read more

My family loves NOVA Cat Clinic. Dr. Brown, Dr. Barron and Dr. Wootten have always given our cats exceptional, highly skilled care with kindness and compassion. I've been bringing my cats to Dr Brown for over 20 years and, more recently, they've seen Dr. Barron and Dr. Wootten -- I recommend all/any of them with the highest confidence. All the technicians and front desk staff are a pleasure to work with - so skilled, helpful and knowledgable. I feel so fortunate to be able to bring my cats to this wonderful, cat-only clinic. And their new facility is state of the art - with a welcoming waiting room, comfortable exam rooms, lots of parking, easy access. . I always feel confident they receive the best care - I HIGHLY recommend them and wouldn't go anywhere else! read more
