Downtown Toronto Cat Clinic

This is an excellent place to take your cat. Everyone was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.

I brought my cat here because we are moving to the UK for a year and he needed a check up and his paperwork filled out. I spent $ 69 for check up and $ 30 for filling out the form.

Been using this clinic since I moved to Toronto (3 years ago) for my current cat and they have always provided wonderful and attentive care for her. I am now bringing my new kitten here as well. They were able to pinpoint his URI and although they weren’t open over the weekend the vet that saw to him made sure to call me everyday inquiring about his status and giving me advice on how to proceed.
Price wise: I have found them to be reasonable and lower then the vet that’s closest to my new home. So I’m always willing to take my cats here

Update… prior to this review Dr. Bodnar was upset with the wording of my first review and sent me several ‘harrassing’ emails and phone calls. Rather than trying appease me and offer to refund some of the money I was charged (I was charged just over $ 1000.00 and my kitten was in this facility for less than 24 hours) she then hired a legal firm that threatened to SUE ME if I did not take down the original post.
Dealing with the stress of losing a kitten that I loved very much was stressful enough then being harrassed by Dr Bodner and then her lawyers was icing on the cake. I can legally say this DR. BODNER was the WORST person I ever dealt with in my life. But I believe in Karma… I hope you rot in hell ‘Doctor’ Bodner.
I took my Bengal kitten here in late January and was very disappointed with their service and the pricing I was charged from this clinic. I was charged about $ 1000.00 for various tests and services, and he was there less than a day. Sadly my kitten passed in a way in their care (they advised his cause of death was from pneumonia) But this clinic is not open 24 hours a day, and if you have a kitten or a cat that is very sick you may want to consider looking for a place that can provide 24 hour service for your pet. Please note I had written a previous review but the owner THREATENED ME WITH LEGAL ACTION if I did not remove it. This is truly pathetic, but I believe in Karma…

Dr. Bonder and her team have been great to my cat. She is informative and helpful with any issues or concerns that may arise. I brought my cat in for a regular checkup and for 2 days after, Dr. Bonder called to check on her status. I highly recommend Downtown Toronto Cat Clinic to anyone who is in need of a great cat Vet.

I see the owner’s comment and had to note that it’s a blatant lie. The quote was for «upwards of $ 1200». I’m not making that number up. It was not just for a cleaning and included, according to Dr. Bonder, x rays and at least two and possibly more necessary extractions of rotten teeth (which is why the price was only starting at $ 1200 and could have gone up on the final bill if more teeth were deemed irreparably diseased). Why would I have been relieved to pay $ 400 (incl. cleaning, anesthesia, xrays and extractions) at another vet if you quoted me $ 360? Such unbelievable bullshit…
P. S. my cat had the dental surgery at the other vet a year ago and is in perfect health now :)

Hello– third attempt at writing this review. Hopefully it won’t be removed since I’m trying to get my point across that this is a great vet for your cats.
I visited this place when my cat developed a cold. Dr. Bonder understood I was on a budget and worked with me to make sure I stayed within that budget.
The price of a visit starts at $ 70 and can increase depending on what is needed. All pricing/​product/​services are discussed prior to them actually proceeding with above-​said.
My cat needed a round of antibiotics that lasted about a week and required two tablets/​day, it came to about $ 30. Surprisingly reasonable.
The vet herself was personable and was very gentle with my cat. The receptionist/​vet assistant was also very kind.
The atmosphere was calming and I felt like I was at an upscale doctors office :). My cat hates the outdoors and loud sounds so he was freaked out. This relaxing atmosphere helped him wind right down.
All in all this place is exactly what to look for in a vet– a vet willing to work within your budget, excellent service and an amazing atmosphere.
Just a side note: vet services are expensive but this place genuinely seems to work within your budget AND care about your cat’s well being. How do I know? Well I previously worked at a vet and I’ve seen first hand how easily things can «add up» when all your pet has is a simple ailment.

When my regular vet was unable to examine my very wild and easily frightened 12 year old feral cat who was suffering respiratory problems, I took him to Dr. Bonder. She was able to sedate and examine him without any issues. Because he was very easily stressed she definitely went above and beyond with consulting with me via phone and email rather than my bringing him in again.
Sadly his condition ended up being terminal and I had to make the very hard decision to have him humanely euthanized a couple weeks after his initial visit. Dr. Bonder was very compassionate during the entire procedure and made sure I had plenty of time to say goodbye.
I highly recommend this clinic, especially for cats who don’t deal with vet visits very well.

I highly recommend this veterinary clinic. Dr. Bonder was able to quickly identify symptoms that Another Vet missed. She and her staff are diligent, caring and down-​to-​earth.
I adopted a little kitty from the Oakville and Milton Humane Society and a week or so later, he became very lethargic. I took my kitty to a Another Vet, and they said they did not see any current reason to test for FIV or leukemia. They said they would follow up the next day and that they would obtain his healthr records from OMHS, but never did. A few days later, the kitty was still lethargic, and my roommate encouraged me to take him back to Another Vet. That vet said a quick follow-​up would be $ 70, so I figured I might as well get a second opinion. I took my kitty to Dr. Bonder at the Downtown Toronto Cat Clinic, because it it a cat-​only vet. She immediately picked up on some symptoms the other vet had missed. Specifically, that his gums were pale and that he felt very skinny. She was very knowledgeable regarding the various humane societys in the GTA… she knew that the Toronto Humane Society does test for FIV and feline leukemia, wheres Oakville and Milton does not. The other vet hadn’t mentioned this (they probably didn’t know?). She also spent a lot of time explaining the symptoms and possiblities to me, including the costs associated with testing, etc.
Dr. Bonder’s thorough examination and specialized knowledge made me feel comfortable deciding it was worth testing the kitty for FIV and feline leukemia. Unfortunately, he had the latter: (She recommended some care options to make the kitty’s last weeks more comfortable. Eventually, he holed up in a drawer, so I decided to have him put down. Dr. Bonder was SOOOOO compassionate with the little kitty, she got me a chair so I could sit with him while he was put down, I cried, LOL, and she was very nice about it.
I’ve now adopted a second kitty (from the Oakville and Milton Humane Society again, please don’t let the fact they don’t test for FIV and leukemia deter you from getting a cat there!), and I take Oscar to Dr. Bonder. She is just so gentle and thorough when treating my cat, as a true cat-​lover, it really makes me feel like I am giving him the best treatment available. They’ll even hold your cat during the day, in case you don’t have time to go home and back from the appointment. The vet techs are really good, too, one of them owns nine cats!
I felt like the costs associated with my appointment were very clearly explained to me… she even suggested some less expensive alternatives to little Oscar’s special catfood, and has asked that he comes again in six weeks for a complimentary weight check.
I really like this vet and highly recommend it to all cat lovers out there.

A lovely little clinic for felines only. Dr. Bonder has been great with my cats. Many of the procedures are done in front of me so I can be with them during an otherwise stressful time. Vets are always expensive, but if you can believe it, the prices here are lower than what I used to pay at my old clinic (Yorkville). The location is very convenient too, although you can’t park directly in front.
The Cat Clinic itself is small and stylish. There’s one examination room, a boarding room, and the back area where they do operations and x-​rays. There’s rarely a crowd in the waiting area, which is nice and adds to the comfort of the whole experience. Plus, no dog smell or grimy tiled floors from puppy accidents like at most other vets I’ve been to.
You have the doctor and staff’s full attention and often additional procedures can be done immediately because if this.
Dr. Bonder is also really great with following-​up. She calls to see how medications are working and how kitty is doing post-​procedure. The vet techs are very friendly and provide good service. They use an online system to send appointment reminders and you can even book online. I much prefer getting an email to being called for an appointment reminder.
Happy to have this clinic in my neighbourhood!
