We just moved to the area a few months ago, and this clinic alone made the move entirely worth it…read more We got off the waitlist after about a month, and it was soooo worth the wait. Our cat is medically complex - only 9 years old, but diagnosed with pancreatitis, diabetes, asthma, and hyperthyroidism. Also, notorious for bad behavior at her previous vet's office. I loved our previous vet and they helped me through some the hardest days of our cat's life, but Cats Exclusive is equipped to support my cat in ways my previous vet was not. Going to a clinic that focuses solely on cats means that there is a level of expertise and consideration that just doesn't exist at other clinics. There are no dogs around and they clearly take measures to make sure the cats see/smell each other as little as possible, which goes a long way to assuage our cat's anxiety. Everyone there is confident and gentle in handling our cat, and she's responded by exhibiting the best behavior we've ever seen from her in a vet's office. At our first appointment, the vet caught a dental issue that had previously gone completely unnoticed. At our second appointment, I got to talk to one of the vets who works in the hyperthyroid clinic, which was super helpful since we're considering the radioiodine treatment for our cat. Communication is always stellar (both by email and by phone). They are pricey, but worth every single penny (and no one has tried to upsell me on anything). Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the clinic our cat needs and deserves.

We asked them to check in twice a day for 30 minutes ($28/visit) because our cat really loves being around people. We had an initial consult ($28 fee) to talk through where everything is, hiding places, and just to introduce the cat to the sitter. We told Joy about our cat's playing habits and she totally delivered -- Joy even ran up and down the hall w/ our kitty to really tire him out! It really felt above and beyond what a normal sitter would do. And, like everyone else says, they send an email to check in and check out, so you know when they're there. They also send a short recap w/ a photo. Although I felt nervous about leaving the cat behind, I wasn't ever nervous about how well Joy would care for him. 5 stars! Would definitely recommend and will definitely use in the future.

She really loves and connects with animals. I was so amazed when I first interviewed her at how well she connected with my dog. She is very reliable and will give me as many or few updates as I want when I am gone. At first I wanted to be in constant contact contact. I am now more relaxed. My dog is very glad to see me get home, but is so spoiled by Christine that he misses the extra play ( fetch) time and attention she gives him and I get too busy to do at times. I know my dog is in good hands, and the extra security for my house is a welcome bonus. I am so pleased to know there is a small business owner who so dedicated and has such a passion for her own animals as well as mine.

The adoption polices are clearly stated on MEOW's website and the whiners obviously never took the time to read them or think they won't apply to them or whatever. The claims that anyone who lives alone cannot adopt is ludicrous, as is the claim that having children excludes anyone. MEOW takes care to place all its cats, no matter what age, into safe and appropriate homes. Yes, there are policies, all of which were created based on over 20 years of experience placing cats and kittens into responsible, loving homes. No, you won't be looking at cats until you fill out an adoption application. The "in depth" form includes basic information about you and your household, the second page is simply a multiple-choice questionnaire. MEOW cares about where its cats go because there is a lifetime contract to take back any cat for any reason. You would not believe the lame excuses people come up with to give up a cat, but no matter how lame, the cat is taken back and goes to someone who will keep their commitment. Nobody has ever walked in the door and claimed to be an irresponsible pet owner, but the application and interview process help weed out those who fit that description. And, sorry, your many claims about how much experience you have and your trying to be convincing that the policies shouldn't apply to you are just lame. Most people who visit the shelter are very impressed by how nice it is and how well-cared for its residents are. I have adopted four cats from MEOW, so I am well aware of what a great job they do.

Truth be told, I've wavered as to whether this should be a 2-star or 3-star review but if I had written a review after my August interaction, it would have been for 1-star, so I suppose either is an improvement. August We were headed out of town on a Friday morning to Sunday afternoon trip. I had arranged to drop my two cats off around 9:30, so I was more than a bit frustrated when I arrived at City Cat to find the door locked and no sign of Mike. I called his cell phone. Voice mail. Not wanting to simply sit in my car with two distressed cats locked in their cardboard pet carriers, I returned home and tried the number again. Nothing. So I waited. 10:00 10:15 10:30 I was in a panic. The initial drop off time was set so there would be lots of time to be where we needed to be on time. But, by 11:00 we still hadn't heard from Mike and we were in the terrible position of either leaving our cats behind - and having our diabetic cat, L, not received her insulin for 48 hours - or have our entire trip disrupted because we couldn't leave the house on time. We opted for the former, making sure the cats had food, water and clean litter boxes and hoping that going without insulin for two days wouldn't be too detrimental to L's health. About the time we settled into the flow of traffic on I-5 my phone rang and it was Mike, apologizing with some lame excuse about his phone being forwarded to his landline so he wasn't getting his voice mail while he was out of the shop. In a curt tone I told Mike we were already on our way and that because he wasn't at the shop when he said he would be, we were stuck leaving the cats at home. He made a half-hearted apology and the call ended. I was furious and resolved to write a 1-star review and post it here. I never wrote that review and although there are certainly alternatives for other cat boarding businesses in NE Seattle, when the need arose recently to once again board the cats, I decided to give Mike another chance. Maybe the incident in August had just been an anomaly. I called him a few days before Christmas. "Hi Mike, this is David S. I need to make an appointment to bring my cats..." I never got a chance to complete the sentence before he interrupted me. "I don't have any room over Christmas." Uh, who said anything about Christmas? I explained that I actually needed to board the cats starting on New Year's Day. Turns out, Mike had plenty of room. We confirmed dates and hung up. Unfortunately, the exact moment that the line disconnected I realized that I hadn't told Mike about L's diabetes and need for twice daily insulin. I called him back immediately and got his voicemail. "Hi Mike, this is David S. again. We just hung up and I realized that I forgot to mention to you that one of our cats, L, has diabetes and requires twice daily insulin shots. I assume that's not a problem as you've probably had plenty of cats stay with you that required medical care. But if it is a problem, just give me a call back to discuss. If I don't hear from you I'll assume everything is fine." No call back - everything must be fine. At the agreed upon day and time I arrived at City Cat, cats, food, insulin and needles in tow. As I unpacked the cat carriers I picked up L and told Mike that this was the diabetic cat and here is her insulin. He looked at me dumbfounded. "I don't know anything about a diabetic cat." Me: "Umm, well I left you a voicemail about it, immediately after we set up the appointment to bring the cats here." Mike: "Oh, well I don't listen to my voicemails. I just delete them. Just the other day in fact I deleted eight without ever listening to them." I kid you not. That is exactly what he said to me! Me (stunned): "Is this going to be a problem? I've got an early morning plane to catch and I need to know right now if I need to scramble for some alternative options." Mike: "Well, no. I guess I can give her the insulin. Just give me your vet's name and number in case there's a problem." Oy! I felt tremendous guilt leaving my cats behind and wondered whether I'd actually see L alive again. What a lousy way to start a vacation. Happily the cats seemed to do fine - although they were certainly happy to come home. I was a bit chagrined when I arrived back at City Cat and found the medical instructions hanging on the wrong cat's crate, but Mike assured me that the right cat had been receiving her insulin. I guess I'll take his word for it. What choice do I have?
