A Cat Practice

A friendly and welcoming practice. I was very pleased with the services rendered. And yes, the kitties that live there are welcoming too.

From the receptionist to the vets, the staff is all passionate and well informed. All the vets and techs are exceptional and we are so grateful for the continued high quality and compassionate care we get as we navigate the financial and emotional challenges of kidney disease with our aging kitties.

I've been brought all of my kitties to A Cat Practice since I found this hidden gem 9 years ago. The staff is very caring and the doctors are excellent with my cats! (even one that was fired from a previous clinic for bad behaviors). I'm glad that we are able to come inside and have face-to-face conversations again but even when they were curbside, I knew that my cats were in good hands.

Stopped going to them but when i called to have my cats information transferred to a new vet they said they didn't have any records of her which is weird considering i took her there 3 times

Will not be coming back. I made an appointment for a kitten that I rescued and am fostering until she's adopted. When I made the appointment, they didn't ask for any information besides the basics. When I got to the clinic, they refused to see the kitten because she's a foster and not my pet. They tried to say I didn't specify that she was a foster when I called, which admittedly I didn't because no one asked and I didn't think it made a difference (a sick cat is a sick cat).

In addition, the lady came off as very rude and judgemental when she found out the kitten would be going up for adoption at a Petsmart (which I don't appreciate since PS does a lot of great work with their adoptions). Now I have to wait to get the kitten treated while I make an appointment elsewhere (clearly a cat's welfare is not the priority of this clinic). I'm new to the area and was thinking I could make this my go to Clinic but that is not going to be happening.

We had a speedy and effortless trip to this cat specific vet! I was able to pick up newly prescribed, prescription dry food in house the same day. I love how friendly the staff are, people here remember your name and your pet, and that means a lot to me.

My husband and I adopted three kittens, all with dramatically different temperaments. The staff is always kind, gentle, and patient with each one. One of our kittens requires special care as he HATES vet visits and throws temper tantrums (hissing, growling, you name it), but staff are gentle with him, wrap him in a blanket for his vaccines and he comes away healthier and unscathed Lol.

They also accommodate busy schedules and have been flexible with us. Pricing is very competitive and affordable. Vets and teams are attentive and knowledgeable and answer our questions. We HIGHLY recommend A Cat Practice and can't say enough great things about them.

We moved to Maryland 6 years ago and had no idea where to go for veterinary services for our Siamese cat. Someone recommend A Cat Practice and we discovered the best cat vet in all of Maryland in our opinion. Last year we adopted cat number 2 and he has also been a regular patient of the practice. We are so happy with the staff; even through the pandemic they have been wonderful. Our Siamese needed surgery at the height of the pandemic and everything went perfect! We recommend A Cat Practice and gladly give them 5 stars!

This is our second cat to be seen here. I can't say enough good things about this team of professionals. You get straight forward analysis and fast attentive service. Dr Levy knows what the heck she is doing and takes the time to give you follow up emails and fast reliable suggestions. Nice work!

We went here because it's close by, but even the convenience is not enough to justify this place. I showed up with a cat that had been vomiting consistently for over 24 hours, and I was concerned that dehydration was setting in. When I arrived for my appointment, the front desk clerk didn't acknowledge me at all (and the front room is very small).

I told her I'm here for my 3:30 appointment.and waited.and waited.and waited. Almost an hour passed. My poor cat had been in his carrier without food, water, or litterbox for AN HOUR. At this point I rang the bell & asked the tech/receptionist to give me an estimate on appointment time. I was much more polite than they deserved, and explained that I live close by--literally, less than five minutes away--and I would rather wait with my cat at home & come back when the doctor is ready to see him.

The tech was extremely condescending, and told me that the doctor was busy with an emergency case. I reiterated that I'm not asking to be seen immediately (or, even, within an hour of my scheduled appointment time )--I'm just going home, and all I'm asking for is a phone call so I can return when the doctor is actually ready for my cat. 'I don't know if we can do that' What.

You don't do phone calls?! At this point I reminded the tech that I had been extremely patient with ZERO communication from the practice, and my cat needed to go to a place with water+litter box access. She looked completely unconcerned, and said maybe they'd call if there was enough time for my cat after the current cat was seen to. So apparently, they were okay with leaving my dehydrated, vomitting cat in a carrier for 2.5 hours, and then potentially cancelling on him if there wasn't enough time to examine him before closing at 6PM?

None of this was communicated to me until I asked. If I had known, I would have left as soon as I arrived. The communication just straight up sucks, even when you're in the office face to face with these people. No follow ups to speak of. The vet, who did eventually see him, was curt & dour, and no one ever acknowledged that they dropped the ball.

I really can't express how fantastic my experience with this practice was. My cat can be pretty difficult at vet's offices, and even though she had to be sedated, the vet and the tech were both so gentle with her, and they were communicative with me. It was seriously the best experience I've had with a vet in the 10 years I've had my girl.

Unfortunately after 20 years we had to put our sweet Mr. Harry down. Called a few vets as we currently did not have one and could not find one that would help. When I called A Cat Practice they accommodated us right away. It was very difficult for my husband and I but they treated us with kindness and warmth. If and when I get another cat I will definitely use this practice.

It is so great to have a neighborhood clinic devoted just to cats - our two cats have been so well cared for at A Cat Practice. The entire staff is excellent and loves felines. We have never waited for service. The vets are very gentle and clearly love cats. So happy they are right near us!

These people are angels. Patient, wise and understanding. From the support staff to the doctors to the surgeon.everyone exceeded all of my expectations as a new client. My 16 year old cat needed her eye removed. Terrible news for any animal lover to hear. A Cat Practice was incredible. I cannot express my gratitude of having such a skilled surgeon on the team there.

There was no upselling, there was no crazy expensive advice. They informed me of my options and let me make the right decision. I appreciated the direct nature of this, emotions cannot be involved in these choices. It has to be the best choice for the cats health and for the owners finances. I feel they truly understood this. My kitty had a bad reaction to her antibiotics the next day, I rushed her over to to the office and they instantly took her in and helped her, they saved her life without a doubt.

I am baffled by any negative reviews here. I am so sorry to hear anyone has had a negative medical experience, however I must rebuttal these with 100% of my experience's at A Cat Practice. Even the other clients are so sweet. I was crying on the front steps because I was so scared I was losing my kitty and one woman was comforting me and another man gave me tissues. I was overwhelmed by the kindness of these strangers. Also, a testament to the quality of people who are choosing this Vet.

Today (11/20/2020) we took our newest addition Tru to this practice. They are not cheap, but I believe you get more than what you pay for here. The employees are absolutely delightful. They are doing a great job keeping everything flowing with strict covid precautions. The Doctor explained everything in detail and answered all of my questions and follow ups to those questions.

My cat was calm the whole time, she feels comfortable here and with her special needs it is important that she doesn't get stressed (she attacks her tail) they take their time and do an amazing job.

Took my cat Max for a general checkup and vaccines update and had a great experience. First, they are very strict with covid regulations. You do intake and payment by phone in your car. You just bring your cat to the door and they will take him or her from there and bring them back out when they are done. Second, I had some car troubles and the whole team pitched in to help jump start my car, even Dr. Levy's husband. Thank you so much and I will definitely be back!

Dr. Levy literally saved my cat! I almost put my cat down because his vets told me there was nothing else they could do to help him with his discomfort resulting from late stage kidney disease. He was not eating very much and had stomach pain because he was having trouble defecating. After weeks of hand feeding my kitty and his vets telling me euthanasia was the best decision, I was starting to face that reality and was preparing to put him down.

I went to Dr. Levy as a last ditch effort before pulling the plug. She compassionately listened to my story about everything I had tried to help my kitty and she suggested some new medication and a probiotic that completely revived him! It's been a week since our visit and he is 100% back to normal. He still has kidney disease but now he is comfortable, eating and happy again. Thank you, Dr. Levy!

Love this place! It was hard finding a new vet in the area. I was traveling 20+ miles because going to a vet I can trust is very important. We just had gotten 3 new kittens and a friend recommended this business. They have been amazing. Always able to fit us in. Very reasonably priced. And most of all they communicate quickly and are always able to answer our questions. I really feel like they put they needs of our fur babies first - and that is what is so vital!

Took my cat here for 2 years, and I moved to another vet after my cat not being treated properly for his skin condition.

I used to take my kitties there when I lived in the area and loved the practice. I actually brought my cat from VA to see the vet here when I suspected my cat was ill, but found out it was a different vet (Levy) than who I was used to seeing in years past. I saw on the website she took a special interest in geriatric feline health so I was happy to bring my older cat in, even though they had zero records of past visits with the same cat as I had been a client off and on for over 10 years.

She gave my 13 year old cat a clean bill of health and me a very high bill My cat died 2 weeks later. I found the office to be somewhat unresponsive to my emails unless there were multiple attempts and the vet herself to be a little cold and abrupt. We sadly won't be bringing any future pets to this practice

I've had dozens of animals over the past seven decades, and my dad was a veterinarian. For my needs, I have never seen a better veterinary operation than A Cat Practice. It is immediately obvious that Dr. Levy and her staff genuinely care about cats as individuals. Every medical procedure is explained clearly and without condescension. They don't try to sell you unnecessary products or services. That's my experience, anyway.

My kitty is really shy as not happy with me about going to the vet, but both the Vet and the Tech were very patient and attentive. Prices were reasonable. Glad to find a place that specializes in working with cats (many Vets are clearly catered towards dogs.) Great experience, will be back.

Just finished with the post-op checkup for my 11 year old tabby Charles and I must say, I am so happy to be back at A Cat Practice for my number one vet. Dr. Levy met Charlie about a month ago when I brought him in due to vomiting and he needed four teeth extracted. She and her team explained everything thoroughly and were very kind. The surgery went well and although he had an adverse reaction to the post op rx (gabapentin), I was able to converse with Dr Levy easily who was patient and understanding and had him come back in.

We got him on another med and he responded well. I give A Cat Practice five stars because of the friendliness of the staff, the patience and clear talent Dr Levy has in her field, and Charlie is doing wonderfully as a result. Communication and transparency are key and this establishment deserves kudos galore. Thank you Dr Levy and team!

There are no words. Please reference the screenshots below for the owner's response on Google reviews. The owner had also responded on Facebook before deleting my review outright.

I have been taking my two Maine Coons here for a couple of years, but we have never had any medical issues to deal with-yet, as they are fairly young. Just shots and physicals. My daughter's older cat (13 y) had been suffering for a couple of years with severe constipation. Constant pushing of medication, diet, enemas- all kinds of vet interventions.

This had gone on for at least two years. Her first vet, who the entire family had used over the years had treated him, but then he retired. She then took him to a new general vet who treated him much the same. It was getting so she had to take him in once a week for an enema even with daily meds at around $100 a visit. The cat was going downhill fast at this point.

It was at this time I told her to try a feline only vet. I took him to A Cat Practice, they were great. Dr. Levy spent a considerable amount of time listening to his story, examined him, did some blood work due to his age and recommended to stop all meds and a prescription diet. Within a week she had a different cat. It's been about two months and he has regained his spunk.

We were thinking it was the end of the line for him when I brought him in, but now who knows how long he has. The best thing is he is comfortable. I would truly recommend this practice to any cat owner.

I was looking for a feline-only practice for my two favorite felines, and Dr. Levy definitely fit the bill. Both her and her staff were very cat-focused and it showed. My youngest cat usually hates the vet but the staff at A Cat Practice put her at ease and when she got a little feisty, they let her do her thing. It is obvious that they have years of experience handling cats.

When my eldest cat who has asthma had an upper respiratory infection, Dr. Levy walked me through the different options and let me know the risks and benefits of each. It allowed me to make a truly informed decision as to my cat's care. I find their prices to be on-par for the area, and I definitely won't be taking them anywhere else in the future!

This place is low tech and hit or miss depending on which vet you get. Prices are usually reasonable, but if they offer something ask about the price up front. The good vets seem to rotate out of this practice pretty quickly. Use them while you can! Wait times can be long, it is best to call in advance to schedule. I can't imagine that they would be good at handling emergencies, so don't even consider them for that.

First, I don't like vets who promote pet foods that are low in quality. And they do. They don't know anything about nutrition. They prescribed a pain killer and antibiotics for my cat's UTI. My cat didn't respond well to them at all. But not the vet's fault. Also I didn't like the general vibe there so I didn't go back.

I've never had a pet before and the first one I got was a feral cat given to me by a co worker. For weeks this cat hated me and everyone around her. She would hide and only come out to eat. I had her for 3 months and never got to touch her. She got fleas so I finally had to catch her and take her to the vet. They were so professional with her at A Cat Practice.

They gave me somewhat of a vitamin to calm her down as well as Revolution serum for her fleas. I was unable to get the cat to let me put her flea medicine on by myself. So I called A Cat Practice and they had no problem doing it for me the next day! Not only did they give her the medicine, they gave me some sample wipes to help calm her down and even clipped her nails!

The best part was that after having this cat for 3 months with no kind of interaction, they were able to hold her and so can I! I will definitely be going to them for all my vet needs!
