This place is like a kitty retreat! I was so impressed with the care and gentleness of every person I encountered. You can tell the staff enjoys what they do, and they do it very well. Thank you for taking good care of my little guy. I wish I found your hospital sooner!

I've been bringing my mocha here for the last couple of years. We both love it here. Only cats! She had her annual checkup and teeth cleaned last year and they did an amazing job taking care of her. I will be there soon for her annual check up.

I have been taking my cats to Boston Cat Hospital for years, and they have received excellent care. Dr. Hazzard has cared for my senior ginger cat Diane through a dental, a bout of pancreatitis, and emerging hypothyroidism. She has very patiently answered all of my questions about the many tests and discussed my options. When Diane's sister Ruth suddenly and unexpectedly died at an emergency vet hospital I received a sympathy card signed by the entire staff. Dr. Hazzard also talked to me about the cause of Ruth's illness, something the emergency vets did not do. This simple kindness really helped me through a difficult time. I like the way they treat me, and I love the way they treat my cats. Highly recommended. And now I have a new cat courtesy of the cat distribution system. Gus is a rescue with a heart full of love, a tipped ear for street cred, not much experience with vets, and a ton of problems. Dr. Hazzard and her staff were very patient with my sweet squirmy boy. He will be back to the vet soon, and I know he's is great hands.

Weird and disappointing. Dr. Patillo made me feel safe but the truth is, you are taking your cat to a circus. The number of problems I've had with checkout is astounding. I could go into detail with vets as well. Don't go here. They'll take advantage of you and leave you wondering why
