  • "We came in with our 15 year old cat, he was in critical condition. Deep down we knew he wasn't going to make it. The doctor was very knowledgeable and gave it to us straight. It was very a devastating day knowing we had to put our lil Simba down. A week later we received a card from the staff. We really appreciate how kind and informative the staff was."
