I have taken four cats to City Kitty over the last 10 years and highly recommend them. Last year I found a lump in my 11 year old cat's chest and took her in to City Kitty to get checked out. The lump was found to be malignant breast cancer. Her lymph nodes and mammary glands on that side were removed and she has made an amazing recovery. Her lab work this year shows no problems and she's doing great! I'm so happy that the vets at City Kitty took the appropriate actions to remove her tumors, catching it in time before it spread to other parts of her body. Another cat of mine a few years back got in a fight with a skunk. He'd been badly beaten up and bitten above the base of his tail. City Kitty immediately referred me to an emergency hospital where his tail had to amputated. In the next week and a half he was given antibiotics and fluids but the internal damage and infection were too much for him to fight off. City Kitty was very honest with me about his prognosis. They did everything they could to help him but also not burden me with the expense of further treatment after it was clear he was not going to make it. To spare the expense of hospitalization, and also to be with him until the end, I took the option of administering his antibiotics and fluid treatments at home in his last few days. I highly recommend them for their sincere caring, honest communication, and exceptional veterinary care.
I can not say enough good things about City Kitty! I was referred here when my Ragdoll had fallen ill and I was told to put him down. I went to City Kitty for a second opinion and couldn't have been happier with the services they provided. They saved my baby and I have continued to have all my cats treated here. In my opinion, you get what you pay for when it comes to vets. I don't have children, so my cats are my children. I have no issue paying a smidge more for piece of mind my cats are getting the best care possible. They genuinely care about all their patients. They don't make you feel like just a number. Dr. Lund and her staff are amazing!
It pains me to write this review, because the staff at City Kitty are extremely friendly and a cat-only vet is a treasure indeed. However, this vet consistently charges twice the amount for comparable services as other vets we have known in other metro areas (some of which are pricier than Providence). This in itself would not merit a one-star rating; however we feel that this vet has routinely pushed antibiotic products and routine checkups at inflated prices when they were not necessary. They overlooked a small growth on the forehead of one of our cats; and when we returned several months later they quoted us $700 to have it removed. Anecdotally, friends have told us this seems about three times the normal vet price for such a procedure, and our cats have undergone more difficult surgeries for far lesser cost at previous vets. Finally, they were fairly unknowledgable about USDA procedure for travelling with cats by airplane abroad, resulting in extra trips to the USDA office and additional forms (for which they charged us). I realize that veterinary care is a business and Providence is not cheap, but I believe City Kitty's pricing to be borderline arbitrage.
I used to work in a vet hospital and have never been so impressed with the staff, doctors and atmosphere. If you love your cat, go here! Fabulous!
This vet is a bully who makes you feel bad if you don't do all the treatments she tells you to do. Like others, I have to wonder why she thinks I should spend $200 on blood tests when my cat is healthy??? Will not go back.
