All About Cats Veterinary Hospital

Always great service and they offer boarding for $ 20 a day! For piece of mind that price cant be beat. They always pick up the phone in a timely manner and treat me and my with respect and attention. Lastly, im sure there are closer animal clinics this place is worth the 20 minute drive.

Super cute vet hospital and boarding! i love this place dedicated to just cats. its clean and the staff is friendly and helpful you can tell they care about animals .Its my vet place for both my babies.

This place is the cat’s meow! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would! So much to say!
The reception staff:
They are soooooo sweet, friendly, and sympathetic. I called them for my kitty, who needed a check up, and got an appointment for a couple days after! They were absolutely lovely on the phone, and let me know that new kitty paperwork was on their website for faster service.
On your first appointment day, you have to meet with the doctor in-​person. So, don’t go in thinking you are just going to drop off your kitty unless you have been told otherwise or you are an existing kitty patient. This just goes to show their level of care between the cat and their care giver.
OK, let’s talk about the office:
How this place isn’t stinky, I’ll never know! IT IS SPOTLESS. It actually smells good! I didn’t see ANY cat hair in the waiting room or patient rooms. I noticed that the cats that are being kept or boarded have a giant kitty play area with tons of toys and really nice habitats (not cages, but plexi glass boxes with cubby holes). There was even a big TV that was looping bird and mice videos, which had the cats totally captivated. It was very different to be in an office where the cats aren’t crying and howling; they were quiet and seemed very content. The office has a lot of transparent rooms, so you can see the cats and the cats can get entertainment from seeing you.
Now, the nurses and doctors:
Ah! They are so amazing! My cat is super timid and she hates strangers. I was shocked how calm she was here. The nurses and Dr. Berquist did not use any force whatsoever to examine her. They gently spoke to her and gave her compliments. I could tell she was thinking «These are my people!»
Dr. Berquist is extremely knowledgeable. You can tell that not does she know cats, but she’s seen and treated it all. That being said, your kitty is treated as a special individual. My appointment ended up costing quite a lot, so Dr. Berquist came up with different financial options for me. Of course, I went with the most expensive and comprehensive option (A cat is a family member and should be treated as such). Dr. Berquist did not rush our appointment; in fact, it was quite the opposite. She went into great detail about my kitty’s condition and how we could handle it. She didn’t make assumptions, or give me absolutes. She was very realistic that there are still so much about cats we do not know.
I can’t express how happy I am with this place. Never in my life have met such a caring group of veterinarians and cat lovers. I think my cat actually ENJOYED going to the vet!

Dr Berquist is the primary physician for my 2 cats. I have been going there since 2010 and am extremely happy with the entire staff. Recently we had to let one of our cats go and through that extremely difficult heart wrenching time Dr. B and Dr. McCormick we absolutely wonderful and empathic. A class act. I trust this establishment implicitly with the care of our pets, they are after all our family.

Let me start off by saying I used to work here several years ago as a vet assistant. That being said, there is no other place I would take my cat to board. I just got a kitten recently, and the next time me and my husband go on vacation this is where we will be taking him.
This is why:
1.) Everyone who works here loves cats, this is their passion. I have worked at other vet clinics in the past (ones that take care of both dogs and cats), and guess what? Those other clinics have employees (yes, atleast a few) that not only don’t like cats, they seem to hate them. Why would I ever take my cat somewhere that has people working there who hates cats? Therefore, this is the only place I would ever trust to care for my cat, whom I love.
2.) This is optional (you don’t have to let your cat roam around if you don’t want to), but everyday they rotate the cats so that they get play time in their huge cat boarding room. There is plenty of toys for cats to play with, and the employees will even play with your cats so they get plenty of interaction. All I know is that if I were a cat, I would prefer some play time. They even have clear glass windows so you can view inside the boarding room if you are in the main receptionist area, so you can see what I mean.
3.) They will medicate your cat while boarding here if he/​she has a medical condition with care and love. Even though they are closed on the weekends they ALWAYS have a doctor or a vet tech/​assistant come throughout the weekends to medicate your cat, as well as clean the cages, give food/​water, and they let the cats get some play time in.
4.) This the cleanest (and odor free) veterinary establishment I have worked at and ever been to (and as I said above, I have worked at several veterinary clinics, so just trust me on this). Seriously, they clean out the cat boarding room twice a day, along with the cages. There isn’t fur flying all around or any horrid odors. They have a maid come everyday to help clean the whole establishment (though the vet assistants/​techs also help out and clean with a cheerful attitude). A couple times a year they even steam clean the cages.
Other reasons as to why this establishment rocks:
— They don’t use excessive or unnecessary force/​restraint on your cat if it’s not needed. When a cat needs any form of restraint they have some cloth/​leather gloves they will hold your cat with (gently), or they will put your cat in a little towel burrito, where your cat is comfortable and yet still able to receive any necessary medical treatment. Other clinics (yup, the ones that take care of both cats and dogs) have NO CLUE about restraining cats properly, gently, and with care. It’s as if cats are an alien race to them altogether, seriously, I kid you not.
— The doctors here are very professional, and they treat each patient with the time needed and tender care, and they are very dilligent. In most other places I have worked at it feels like a factory, where the doctors just don’t even care about their patients after awhile and they try and rush to get on to their next case.
— They have a proper isolation room FAR away from the boarding room (for patients that are contagious/​very sick). They also use every precaution to sanitize themselves before leaving that room.
— If your cat has long hair and needs a sanitary shave or a lion shave, this is the place to go. I personally never got the knack for doing this, but they have a few girls that are gifted in the art.
— If your cat (he/​she) needs a dental or any other medical procedure, they use the proper form of anesthesia, and they also do blood work before putting your cat under (which I always recommend, since you never know what medical condition your cat/​animal may have until actual blood work is done).
— My mom still takes her cats here, which I’m glad for, because taking your cat to a clinic that also takes care of dogs can be traumatizing to your cat. At other clinics, do you think they separate the dogs and cats from each other when they go into the back to get treated? Nope. That being said, I work during the week days and so I haven’t been able to take my new kitten here yet to get shots (so I have gone to the clinic closest to me), though if there is anything medically wrong with him, then I will be taking him straight to All About Cats.

I came to drop of my kitten to a mean front receptionist. I like the veterinarian so I can’t back out.

I’ve been coming here for a couple years with two of my cats. We used to go to a different vet in the past, but really like that this place only does cats. We take our cats here for boarding every time we go out of town, and our cats really seem to enjoy the place. They also aren’t afraid of the vets or the office staff. Unfortunately we’ve also had to deal with this place when one of our cats got really sick, and they were amazingly compassionate. Much more so then when one of our other cats got sick and passed away before we switched to this place. I don’t feel that they push you to do unnecessary tests and treatments, but they do give a wide range of options and explain everything. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat for any cat owners looking for a great vet to take care of their cat’s needs, and I will continue to come here as long as I have cats.

Rude & uncaring when we brought out cats in. They prescribed meds for both cats which we found out we actually OTC and caused our cat to foam at the mouth and did not fix the problem.

I am forced to give this place a 1 star. Wish I can give negative star. This is simply due to the fact that this place offers a declawing service and that is cruel to animals. Anyone who loves animals so much should not promote that service. I understand times are tough but there are principals that we stand by and should not compromise on that no matter the cost. Sad to say I will not be going back to this place unless declawing services seize to exist

Amazing educated front desk staff in a clean organized environment. Dr Berquist has a great bedside manner and is a top notch veterinarian. She will always take the time to answer all questions.

I took my cat here for boarding and they were so good to him. He is a very mean tempered difficult cat when away from home and they were still very kind to him and did what they could to make him feel comfortable. They were very nice when I picked him up, helping me get him back in his carrier and making me feel better about him being so difficult. Very accommodating and kind staff. Facility is very clean. I would definitely return.

Terrible Place!!! Don’t take your cats here… all they want is your money. My cat got out and was attacked by a neighborhood cat and I could tell he wasn’t doing so hot. So I brought him to All About Cats and they didn’t even check his wound… they wanted to do some kind of EXPENSIVE surgery on his bladder (he’s only 3 years old and only eats the BEST organic grain food money can buy)…I decided on taking him to VCA Animal clinic… and they helped me treat his INFECTION!!! He had a FEVER and had a huge PUSS filled wound on his butt… they had to do an inexpensive surgery to clean it out, and they gave me everything i needed to continue to clean it. The doctor there even gave me LESS EXPENSIVE options if I couldn’t afford surgery!!! The doctors at VCA Animal clinic actually cared about my cat, and weren’t trying to charge me an ARM AND A LEG to treat my cat for some CRAZY ASSUMPTION!!!
ALWAYS GET A SECOND OPINION!!! THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF IF THEY CAN!!!

Called last minute (day of) to get my cat boarded and vaccinated. They couldn’t have been more accommodating. The office is incredibly calming. Perfect for my cat. I called to check in and the staff gave me a full update. The ladies at the front desk were wonderful especially Melinda. My cat who is very rarely boarded is not stressed at all and happy as can be. My only complaint is my dogs will never get to experience this place. Thank you all again!!!

The staff is amazing. The facility is clean and calm. This is our first visit and we will definitely return as regular patients. They handled our cat Howie with love and affection.
We came for a first time check up because Howie is a new addition to the family and came to us with matted fur: we want to have him groomed. I originally thought that he would need a complete shave, which would require anesthesia, and lots of money. Since the cat belongs to my teen, she is responsible for the cost. When the technician suggested that we could just have his matted areas shaved, we were very pleased.
The entire visit, checkup, nails clipped, shots and shaving, took less than 30 minutes. And Howie loved the attention and we could tell he wasn’t traumatized by the visit.
We definitely recommend All About Cats!

We have been taking our cats here since 2007. I like that they specialize in cats and seem to know what to do when my cat is sick. I also like that the place is clean and doesn’t smell like cleaning solutions, or anything else animal related. I can get an appointment fairly quickly, especially if my cat is sick. It is easy to see that Dr. Berquist loves cats by how she handles them.
If they are not sure what is wrong with my cat, they will throw everything (all treatments at once) at her. They give me a print-​out with all the treatments options and prices. Usually the list of options ends up being $ 300-​$ 600. Almost always they want to do x-​rays and blood tests. My cats have had more x-​rays than me and my husband combined. I want to do what I can to keep my cats healthy and alive, but it’s hard for me to determine what treatments are necessary.
With all this being said, I still go to All About Cats, because I am a pushover when it comes to my cats. I will whatever I can when they are sick.

Truly the BEST cat vet in Las Vegas. Not only were they good to me and my cat, but to my young daughter as well. Always friendly, the ACTUAL vet calls to give you information and they even called to check up on Pepper to see how she was doing. (we were doing Hospice with her at home)
I will never go anywhere else for my kitties!
Thank you ALL ABOUT CATS!

You won’t find a more professional, caring and compassionate staff and doctor’s then at All About Cats. The facility is always clean, fresh and welcoming. Their boarding facility is fantastic and our cat comes back as if he was on a vacation.
Recently, at his stay we found out he was ill and they took excellent care of him and have provided us with a plan of action. They recognized he was ill due to his change in behavior, because they pay attention. Their personal commitment is evident in the way they responded thru phone calls and e-​mails while we were away. They did everything possible to make our cat comfy and us knowing he was in great hands.

I am so relieved! Dr. Burquest and staff; Jenny, Melinda, were amazing with my little guy, Marco. The doctor was thorough and was nice and took the REAL time to explain all the tests that were done. We’re going back in a couple weeks for a checkup, but no crystals or blockage! I’ve been over watering his food! You can actually over do it! Thank you all!

I can’t express how great the doctors and staff are at All About Cats!
Two months ago, our youngest cat looked very sick. We found him sitting in the corner of our kitchen and he wouldn’t move at all. He was also throwing up clear liquid everywhere. I knew we had to take him to the vet first thing in the morning. To be honest, I called my other vet office first. Why? Because I have been taking my dog to them for 2 years, the doctors are great, and their prices are much more reasonable. However, they did not have any appointments until 3pm that day, and I wasn’t sure my cat could hold on until then.
I called All About Cats right when they opened and thankfully, they were able to get me in right away. We were set up with Dr. Berquist. After examining our cat for about 10 seconds, she said «I know what is wrong with him.» Damn! How quick and awesome is that? So our baby had UTI, which also caused some kidney failure. Poor thing! My only choice at that point was having them do a surgery ASAP. Otherwise, he would have died.
The surgery went well and the doctors took great care of him while he stayed at the hospital for a few nights. Dr. Berquist was great! She took the time to sit down and talk to us about the whole situation. She even called everyday to give updates and explain test results. Our bill wasn’t cheap, but it was worth it because they were able to save him and help him get better with a special diet. Now, 2 months later, he has pretty much recovered and is back to normal.
A big Thank You to Dr. Berquist and the staff for saving our baby boy!

The first time I came into the clinic was a while back and I was under-​impressed. The person at the front desk seemed aloof and uninterested.
However, I came back again with my two adopted boys because I may have to board them in the future and I prefer a kitty only environment for them. The staff and vet seemed genuinely interested in my boys who are gorgeous Tonkinese! However, I do think they are driven by a business model – they tend to sell up, but I chose not to have all the testing done they suggested (the boys had the sniffles), but I took the meds and they’re all better now. Everyone is kind and seem to love my beautiful kittens.
I’m very satisfied here with the service, but their prices do seem high. I am having my boys neutered at the Poppy Seed Foundation (at Bonanza Cat Hospital) clinic on the last Sunday of this month because the cost is phenomenally less expensive ($ 50 per kitten) and the monies are donated to the shelter there.
