The Cat Doctor Portland, Maine

I've brought two of my three cats to The Cat Doctor. My first experience with them wasn't the greatest. They gave my cat vaccines that he didn't need and also without my consent. (They have you fill out paperwork asking if you would like to be notified before treatments. Which they didn't, they just gave him the shots then told me after.) I was kind of mortified. Thankfully he was totally fine. He was a new patient and they hadn't had all the paperwork, but I think it was a bit hazardous for them to assume this cat would be totally fine. (What if he was allergic, went into shock, etc idk!) My other cat had some teeth removed. It went perfectly fine. He was able to come home with me that day even. No complaints there! He healed very nicely and he hasn't had any problems. I've had friends who have been estimated thousands of dollars to have their cats teeth removed, so I was very happy with it being reasonably priced.

What a gem of a place! Purely dedicated to the well being of cats. I brought my flame point rag-doll there for a full grooming and he was seen and groomed BEAUTIFULLY for the first time. Don’t be fooled at his lack of fur! He feels velvety soft! He smells so good. The best part we get a little break from all of his previous mass shedding. Lol. They took such good care of him and made sure he was safe and happy. They definitely have a new regular customer. We cannot wait to bring our other cat there too! Thanks ladies for being so awesome!

They refused to see my cat. It took me all day to find someone who would..my cat died on the way to pet medic.. cat doctor was mean and rude to us...

Wonderful staff and vet techs, and a very knowledgeable and personable veterinarian!!

Can you tell me where to buy a cat

I used to really really like this vet, I still do but I had a bit one bad experience. Year 2018 when I got my kitten and we decided to make this vet her permanent vet clinic because everyone is nice, the place is super nice and the vet doctors are super duper nice. Fast forward, year 2020, covid hits and rules to be followed, which I'm ok with it. It was annual exam with my kitten and I had one concern regarding her breathing and panthing a lot, they said it was just hairball stuff. Few days later, I had no choice but to go to emergency vet clinic nearby and found out my kitty have full fluid in her lungs and it crushed my heart coz I knew something gonna be bad going to happen. The emergency vet recommended us to a cat specialist and inform my kitty's vet doctor, we did that but after two days passed my kitty took her last breath in front of me. I was devastated. How can they didnt noticed it during the annual exam. It took me about a year to recover and made this review. I'm still at pain for losing such awesome, wonderful kitty. My husband was devastated that he doesnt want another kitty and he doesn't want to go back to this vet coz they didnt do their job properly. They did sent us comforting card ???? I still like this vet hoping that they will really do what's necessary if a fur parent have concerns on their fur baby. Once we're gonna have a new kittens (feels like I'm ready to have one) I'm still considering this vet as a trusted clinic for my future kittens.

Nice “cat people”. They love cats! Office is conveniently located. The office staff are friendly, patient, calm. Very accommodating. The medical staff are kind and patient. They take the time to explain. They are timely but not rushed. Fairly priced. Available. They have recommendations but do not sell. My kitty girl, Brewster, loves them. I feel She is safe in their care. They are confident, so I feel confident.

They make it easy to take care of your cat(s)

Fantastic place with excellent veterinarians. My cat has terrible issues with being too attached to me and she always reacts extremely negatively to anyone else besides me. The veterinarian assigned to her called us up about 5 mins after meeting her and asked about using a gas treatment to calm her down. We agreed to it as it seemed much safer than an overdose off ketamine(which almost happened at a different veterinarian) This place was able to clip her nails, check her tracker tags, and give her the shots she required. It was a bit more pricey than what I am used to paying but after receiving her back a half hour later, she was alert, looking for attention, and seemed comfortable, which is worth it to me. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone who has a bit of a difficult cat, it's definitely worth the money.

Vizzy is my first cat and I got her as a kitten in September and she had fleas. They fit us in as new clients and took great care of her. I gave them permission to do whatever they needed to do for vetting to make sure she was getting all of her vaccines, ect. We set up appointments for the future for spaying and the rest of her immunizations. I got reminders through email and text. Drop off and pick up are both contactless and all of the forms I need to fill out are all online. I leave/pick her up in her carrier in an entryway once instructed. Payment is also over the phone. It’s actually weird that I’ve never even seen anyone face to face that works here but that’s the world we live in! Super safe and friendly office.

These guys are so attentive to my little Zoey, always happy to explain anything I have a question on, and it's very obvious they love the fur babies they care for. I will never take a cat anywhere else. ♡

The. Cat. Doctor is a wonderful place n our cats get the very. Upmost best treatment. The people. There. Are caring n. Give everyone's pets. Love n support. I give the. Cat. Doctor. 5 stars n more.

They saved my kittens life. She had developed a respiratory infection no other vet could do anything about but The Cat Doctor knew exactly what to do. My cat is now a healthy adult kitty. The doctors are exceptional and I won't take my cats anywhere else. Highly recommend.

Wonderful people doing wonderful work.

Best care for my cat anywhere. Knowledgeable, compassionate and caring staff. I've been talking my cats there since they opened in 1988.

When we moved to Portland last year, I was thrilled to find a vet just a few miles from my house, and they were cat only! We visited last year for annual appointments and vaccines. Great experiences and my cats barely seemed to notice they had to visit the doctor. Recently, my tabby had a horrible abscess near his behind. They were able to take him for a day visit, stitched him up and provided him with medication to help him heal. When I brought him home he was barely stressed, and happily ran around our apartment. I am impressed with how they are maintaining contactless services through the COVID pandemic. Clearly they value the safety of their staff and customers. Highly recommend!

Really superb place for our new feline family member. Clean, welcoming, and smells really nice. Dr. Britain was very accommodating to questions and was easy to understand. During the exam he was amazingly gentle with Nora. I was really impressed by how he handled her. I feel so confident and comfortable with our choice of vet.

Very professional environment. Dr Britain was phenomenal with my cats. I felt very at ease and was well taken care of in terms of medication for my cats. The office cat was cute too! I strongly recommend cat doctor!

A wonderful place that really cares for its patients

Cant say enough good things about this place!

Top notch care for my little feline. Love that they are focused on cats, and the dog free environment helps to reduce the stress of going to the vet.

Amazing care! Great covid precautions. Love that they call back to check on my cat.

We LOVE The Cat Doctor! Since we moved to Portland four years ago, The Cat Doctor has given our three cat babies the very best of care. When our dear 15-year old Bessie needed a gentle hand to help her on her journey, Dr. B was kind enough to come to our home to save Bessie (and us) the terrible stress of the crated travel she'd come to dread so much. Dr. B's caring calm saved us all so much pain. Recently, our two-year old Leo has been struggling with a life-threatening illness. It's been touch-and-go lately, and we've begun to feel as though we're hanging on by a thread. This morning we awoke to find Leo in decline. After leaving a message with one of The Cat Doctor's wonderful assistants, we got a call back from Dr. W a short while later. Dr. W spent all of half an hour on the phone with us, clarifying Leo's condition and talking us through our options. Upon determining that Leo needed another medicine, Dr. W took it upon himself to deliver it to our door. Today was a massive snowstorm. Dr. W drove through a snowstorm to bring our poor sick Leo medicine. I could go on. We LOVE the Cat Doctor! EDIT: It suddenly occurred to me that the sort of above-and-beyond service I described above couldn't possibly be all in a day's work for these remarkable veterinarians, as they're clearly full-on busy being super heroes for tons of other needy kitties. I guess what I'm trying to say is that, the good Dr. B and the good Dr. W have provided us with levels of service no one might ever expect as a matter of course at any price. Our gratitude is boundless.

We had our first visit today. Dr. Wright was patient and gave us a ton of information. He did a very thorough exam and gave us informed options about what we could do to best help our cat. It was also cheaper than our last vet!

My cat has been lucky for the past 2 years since we moved here to Portland; she gets seen by The Cat Doctor. From the first time I called them for some info they have been patient and kind. Everyone on their crew has been genuinely friendly and they always give supportive helpful information. I really appreciate the nature of this business; having only cats coming and going keeps it a mellow environment. I am blessed to live across the street from this amazing place, and I would recommend them to any cat owners.

This is where I take all three of my cats and while they might not enjoy the vet, they get treats and the staff is knowledgeable and compassionate

They are very caring towards your pet.

The Cat Doctor is one of the best veterinary practices I've ever been to. My kitten Marko loves Dr.Wright and even looks forward to coming to the vet because of the conscious attention he recieves. We recently adopted another kitten that unfortunately was diagnosed with FIP. Dr.Wright was so kind during the euthanization process and talked us through the whole thing. My boyfriend and I were a bit of a wreck at the time but he and the staff made the experience the best it could be and we couldn't be more thankful for that. If you want a place to go where your kitties will be cared for, go to The Cat Doctor..

There’s no better place to take your cat!

As usual, I have confidence in the Vets & Staff and the care they have provided over the years. Courteous, caring, and professional attention for my buddies over the years.
