Especially Cats Veterinary Hospital

Veterinary Care

Especially Cats Veterinary Hospital is a full-service cat clinic and wellness center comprised of a modern hospital, surgical unit, radiology department, on-site laboratory, and complete veterinary pharmacy. We understand that cats are a unique species. Cats are now the most popular pets - actually outnumbering dogs in the United States - and we pride ourselves on focusing only on their care.

We hope to lengthen and enhance the years that you can spend with your beloved cats. To help reach this goal, we focus on wellness care and preventative medicine through all life stages. We also work hard to establish more comprehensive and frequent elderly cat evaluations. Our hope is to intervene before health problems become too far advanced to treat, and we do all we can to increase the quality of life for our feline friends. Read more

    Really friendly and knowledgeable. They are especially good with our asthmatic cat who had chronic sinus infections and allergies. I was willing to drive from Oakland to take our two cats to see them because they were so good.

    One of my cats needed to remove his heavy tartar on his tooth, Dr. Carter took care of my cat's procedure. I was very anxious when I heard it's done under anesthesia, it's like for other surgeries. ... But when my cat and I met Dr. Carter first time for pre surgery health evaluation, I was impressed how she treated my cat, very gentle and my cat even let her hold him, my cat didn't seem he was frighten at all, very calm. That's not happening usually with strangers for him. And Dr. Carter herself is very kind and confident doctor, she didn't mind to take her time to explained to me every single things, made sure I had no further questions. Also she came out to greet my cat and me in the morning of the procedure when I brought my cat in. ...
    My cat came back from procedure and recovering at home now, at post surgery also they took time to explain and answered to my all questions.
    Thank you to Dr. Carter and all staffs who took care of my cat today. I will be surely bringing my cats here in future if they ever need to be seen by doctor.

    The staff, from the Vets to the Vet-Tech to Front Desk crew, all are helpful, caring, friendly, knowledgeable. The staff genuinely cares about you and your cat. I have been going there monthly for the past 6 years as my many toed Torti requires a careful pedicure. Of course she has the staff completely fooled, they think she is just sweet and cute, little do they know that she has been a total skitzoid trying to get here to the vet today, leaving me totally done in. But that's ok, that's what we humans are here for, I'm firmly convinced of it. On a health note, hats off to the Vets for their progressive, modern medicine. They have kept my girl-kitty happy & healthy as she enters her middle age, I could not ask for anything more.

    I am a mom to a "difficult patient" (she even scares me when we go to the vet), but Dr. Carter has always been super compassionate and caring with my baby, even when she's growling and spitting. She does a great job of paying attention to my reactions and reassuring me as well! I also feel well-informed about the diagnosis and treatment options, and when my cat needed some teeth extracted, Dr. Carter did a great job. She and the office staff are also willing to file claims to my pet insurance for me, which is great! I highly recommend this place.

    ... My two cats have since seen Dr. Buttar for routine exams, and my sick kitty Mitzi has been in several more times. Dr. Buttar's care has helped Mitzi have a good quality life, in spite of her illness. She has had her ups and downs, and Dr. Buttar has always responded quickly and appropriately to the down times. I haven't always had to bring Mitzi in for a visit when she's having a relapse, because Dr. Buttar is very responsive to email and telephone calls. There is great communication between the office staff and Dr. Buttar, and I've never had a problem with followup by them. The office staff is exceptionally friendly and welcoming when I stop by to pick up cat food or have a question, and the staff has been consistent; I haven't really seen any turnover. Their fees seem reasonable to me, when compared to other veterinary practices. I'm very happy with the care my cats have received at Especially Cats and will continue trusting them with my cats' health needs.
