All About Cats Cat Clinic

I’m very happy with the care provided by Dr. David Rataj and the staff at All About Cats clinic. When I brought my fur-​baby here I had a list of questions and was concerned about the respiratory problems he was having. After a bad experience with a certain veterinary clinic on 185^th street I went to All About Cats and was very pleased with their knowledge of feline asthma and allergies. The Dr. took the time to answer all my questions and treated my cat holistically rather than just writing a prescription for oral steroids.

It was around 8:20am when I noticed my 3 year old grey cat squatting funny in the litter box.
He was in there a long time and nothing came out of hiem.
I was about to yell at him for peeing on my calendar I left on the living room floor, but then he let out a long cry… not the angry kind… but the in pain kind of cry and he got into the squat position again in the living room. I immediately took this as a sign of him telling me something was wrong.
I live super close to Dr. Minor’s clinic so that’s who I figured to call first. At first the receptionist said we could come in at 10am, then I told her how awful in pain my kitty was sounding and that he was trying his hardest to pass urine or bowels… then she knew it had to be bad so she said, «Oh no, okay let’s squeeze you in at 8:45am.» I was soooo grateful for their flexibility.
I got him to the clinic. Dr. Minor and nurse Tina were wonderful with my very skiddish, shy cat.
He let them check him every where and pet him with no problem.
Dr. Minor noticed that my cat had major backup/​blockage, there was so many crystals in his tract that nothing was coming out.
They kept him overnight with a catheter in him to flush his system out and I picked him up Saturday morning. Dr. Minor and his staff gave him wonderful attention and care.
My kitty came home happy and eating and drinking his water and using the litter box pain free thanks to the urinary canned foods and meds.
The total for everything, visit/procedure/overnight…etc…came to around $ 500 – 600.
Thank Dr. Minor and staff! I love your passion for cats and their well being. :)

I moved to Hillsboro last May, and took my cat here for an initial exam, and to get her ears checked for mites. She was pretty feisty during the exam — took 2 people to hold her down — but they were really nice about it. They sent me me on my weigh (hahah) with a weight loss program and some good feeding tips, as she was, um,…a *few* pounds overweight.
My most recent visit at the end of September was unfortunately due to a deeply infected laceration we still don’t know the source of. They got her in for an appointment the morning I called. They did surgery that day, and I was able to pick her up by 4:00. They did try to sell me a few things at the counter, which I wasn’t really in the mood for, as I was already shelling out almost $ 600 for surgery, shots, and anesthesia. But the lady at the counter was super nice and friendly. I called when I noticed they charged me more than the amount they told me earlier that afternoon, and they nicely refunded the difference.
They didn’t charge for the follow-​up visit to get the stitches out, and the wound has healed up perfectly, and kitty is down one pound since April, yay.
PS. I love that they don’t mind if I bring my cat on a leash or in a towel burrito instead of a crate (just works better for her) :o)

We’ve taken our cats to five vets in the past eight years, and will stick with Dr. Minor and All About Cats for as long as we can. Dr. Minor is excellent, as is his staff.

We were very pleased with the care Dr. Minor and his assistant gave our cat, Tiger. He was thorough and gentle while performing the exam. The «patient» room and lobby were clean and didn’t smell like «cats». We are new patients and with that in mind, he also gave us emergency numbers to call after hours, if necessary. We will be taking Tiger back to see Dr. Minor even though he wasn’t happy about being there!
