I am the owner of a Siamese mix four-year old male cat that I found as a feral kitten on Okinawa. Yuki (Blizzard) has an array of medical issues, including feline Herpes in right eye, chronic gingivitis and kidney deficiencies and be tested/treated frequently. I was assigned to US Central Command, and brought him to Dr. Christine Simon from Oct 2013 until I left Tampa in March 2016. I brought Yuki in for either medical issues or boarding due to trips to Middle East many times. Every time the staff was universally courteous, extremely professional, and compassionate. They kept me fully informed ahead of time about treatment options, alternatives, and costs as well as sending much-appreciated texts and photos while I was abroad. Since I left Tampa, I have had Yuki treated or boarded in Idaho, Montana and Virginia Beach. I have had extremely responsive support from The Cat Doctors in having Yuki's records faxed to other vets, despite the fact that I'm no longer a regular client in Tampa. My cat is a loyal, affectionate, valued companion. Dr. Simon and the staff at The Cat Doctors were wonderful to him and to me during my time there and have provided exceptionally prompt, much appreciated support every single time I've reached out to them from other locations. read more

The staff here are absolutely incredible. I was concerned about my Cat and took him here as a drop off visit. They were quick to examine him and quick and gentle when relaying that he had a large tumor in his stomach. The vet was very honest and gave me straight forward answers, she wasn't looking to make more money but simply looking out for what was best for my furbaby. when I picked him up that day and came back to put him down the next day, I felt like the whole staff was losing their pet too. The way they made us comfortable, the sympathy they had, and the did absolutely anything to make this even the slightest bit better. I stood outside for a while after we let him go and I went back in for a tissue and they just gave me the whole box. When I went to get his urn they were all baffled about how pretty and elegant it looked and how much they could tell I loved him. They also added a card from the office and their words were so touching and heartwarming. It was the little things along with how great their service was that made this vet office like no other.I have gotten a new fur baby since then and I can say with confidence I do not plan to go to any other vet as I know he will get the best care here! read more

I do not believe in trashing a company on social media under most circumstances. I do believe in addressing concerns with the company directly, giving them an opportunity to make things right, and if they don't, writing a negative review. I had a difficult experience with the Tampa location of The Cat Doctors, but that's not what I'm focused on with this review. I'm here to instead share the very positive experience I had with them AFTER I wrote an email directly to them that explained my concerns. After I sent them my detailed email, I was contacted by Kelly, the practice manager. She genuinely apologized on behalf of the practice, and then went the extra mile to rectify the situation in a way that not only corrected the situation to my satisfaction, but made me and our kitties lifelong clients. Please think twice before you use social media to tear a business down. Small businesses are the backbone of our country. read more

The Cat Doctors were great! We felt welcome the first moment we entered the facility. They went above and beyond expectations and took the utmost care of us and out kittens. Dr. Savarese and her staff were very knowledgeable and helpful in answering any questions we had concerning our kittens and spent a good deal of time explaining all of it to us. We are new pet owners and it was nice to have them take their time to inform us of all we needed to know about our new kittens. It is a very welcoming place and I felt that I could trust them, which is very important to me. I also didn't feel like they were trying to charge or take advantage of us financially when it came to our kittens healthcare. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and would highly recommend these veterinarians to anyone! read more

Five stars aren't nearly enough for The Cat Doctors. I'd give them at least ten if I could. The staff is incredibly friendly and they're eager to help if you have any questions or problems. Dr. Simon is very skilled and knowledgeable, and she's gentle with cats who, like mine, would really rather be anywhere but the vet's office. When my cat was diagnosed with mammary cancer Dr. Simon spent a lot of time laying out all of my treatment options with honesty and genuine compassion. I really couldn't hope for a better vet. She removed the tumor and a few months later my cat is doing very well. The Cat Doctors are a little bit more expensive than some of their competition, but not enormously so, and the quality of care they provide is more than worth it. read more

I rescued a kitten that was covered in fleas and was very concerned of its well-being. I called The Cat Doctors and they were SO helpful and informative, explained different financial options for me as I had expressed I was budget conscious. I got an appointment later that afternoon, and they offered for her to come in the morning since I was not able to leave work. He was at the vet from 10-7 and loved EVERY minute of it - the staff is very caring and affectionate. They called me mid-day with a full health update and when I came to get him, the staff explained each and every charge, the future health checks needed, and gave me a baggie of some helpful "kitten firsts" material. I am SO happy I decided to bring "Otto" here. Thank you! HIGHLY recommend! read more

Update to my last review... my cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes, not an easy disease to deal with as many people know. It involved a shift of my lifestyle to accomodate 2x daily insulin injections. The team at the Cat Doctors helped teach me all I need to know re:the care of my diabetic cat. Throughout the last 8 weeks of treatment, Dr. Simone has read my weekly detailed excel spreadsheet of Betty's stats - and cheered us on; the staff has answered my innumerable questions about when, how, etc. as I learn the new routine. I can't say enough about the level of caring and dedication of The Cat Drs team. As my cat heads toward possible remission, I have to acknowledge that I couldn't have done it without this wonderful group of people! read more

I took my cat to this place to get a Leukemia test before I put it with my other cats. I didn't want my other cats to get anything from this cat I took to the vet. I got a call to tell me my cat was dead because they drained all of the cats blood out of the body and that is not the way to give a Leukemia test done. They even told me they drained all of the cats blood out. There was nothing I could do because I am poor and on a fixed income and disabled. I know I would lose my case anyway because poor people never win in court when the vet is rich. I don't have a chance so the only thing I done was to take my cat home and bury it and find a new vet. Somebody that knows wat they are doing. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

One of the reviews stated that the Cat Doctors are a little pricey, but sometime you do get what you pay for and more! Actually, their charges for service aren't much more than most of the local vets. The great thing about the Cat Doctors is that you and your pet receive much more than expert medical care. The entire staff at the Cat Doctor is professional, yet personable. I have been taking my feline family to the Cat Doctor facility for years and will continue to do so. We have loved my kitties, laughed and cried together when any kitty passed. I would not consider taking my felines ANYWHERE else. read more

The place is excellent - and you can email the vets! Dr. Vaughn is very knowledgable and has provided outstanding care for my two cats. Best of all, they are extremely responsive with emails. I have been able to email questions to the vet between visits, and always get a prompt response. When I thought I was going to lose my mind because my cat started insisting on urinating all over my children's beds, Dr. Vaughn answered my email immediately and had a plan for diagnosis and treatment - now, happily, the cat is back to the litter box, thanks to the Cat Doctors! read more

Super, super level of care! We love The Cat Doctors so much! The techs are kind, engaging, and genuinely care about us and our fur baby's well-being. They offer the humans cold beverages and snacks while we wait - and every kitty gets a toy to take home. Dr Vaugn is AWESOME! All the vets are completely Awesome! They spend quality time during each visit, offer honest and compassionate care, and truly make us and our baby feel valued and in good hands. Absolutely the greatest cat clinic ever!!! Thank you for all you ladies do! read more

The very best staff. Always friendly and offering to help me get to the car with my pet. I thoroughly trust the doctors and staff with my 2 kittens (14 months old). I had my previous 2 cats cared for by Dr. Welborn when I lived in Temple Terrace 20 years ago. Those two cats lived to the age of 18 and 19. I appreciate all the care they received then, and I am so glad to have The Cat Doctors with Dr. Welborn and his excellent staff now in South Tampa. read more

If I could give this place 6 out of 5 stars I would. Everyone there is so genuine and helpful. We personally got lucky enough to work with Dr. Haworth and Gina. They were absolutely amazing and made our stressful day less horrible. Even everyone at the front desk, including Jasmine(I didn't get the rest of their names, sorry!) were so nice and helpful. All of our cats are going here and I would recommend that everyone bring their cats here. read more

This is the best care you can get for your cat. My kitty turns into a purring love ball when he see these vets. They have saved his life when he had a severe asthma issue. They are top notch professionals down to the technicians. I drive 2 hours to bring my kitty here. I wouldn't take him anywhere else. My kitty and I both love this place. They are true cat lovers. read more

I have been going to The Cat Doctors for 17 years and can't imagine going anywhere else. Dr. Simon is incredible. They are all Cat People! The care is excellent. I can not say enough. Best practice in the bay area. I drive 45 minutes to get there. Dr. Simon has amazing diagnostic skills. She is so perceptive. I could go on and on. Love them! read more

I would be shocked to hear if any vet office is better than The Cat Doctor. The staff is so warm and loving to both my cats and me! They seem to truly love their job and make me feel SO comfortable. I can call them with anything and know they have the best interest of my pets in mind. Absolutely adore this place and highly highly recommend. read more
