I always trust everyone at A Cat Clinic to be alert to possible problems, and to otherwise love our kitties when we have to leave them to be cared for. I was a little fearful that our newest kitty, Phoenix, might be set back in his struggle for feeling safe in his home environment. However, when we arrived home, rather than retreat under furniture and be a long time in coming out, he ran and meandered joyfully throughout the whole house, and sought our pets and touch immediately, and fell asleep in the middle of the family room floor. By that I understood that his stay with you increased his trust in people, which is a great testimony to your caring atmosphere. Thank you so much.

I wanted a second opinion regarding my cats health care and though my first vet’s assessment was correct and his condition had unfortunately worsened, I was also give a quicker result and discussed other issues that had been a concern to me as well. Additionally, I got a text message notifying me of the appointment as well as a well written message from the vet about all the things we discussed. It was definitely better than my previous experiences with animal clinics. If you have just cats I would highly recommend coming to A Cat Clinic.

Kind, courteous, and thoroughly competent staff. Dr. Rubenstein’s evaluation was comprehensive, knowledgeable, and informative. She really is MoCo’s premier feline veterinarian. Metis is an “agitated” kitty at vet appointments and the staff were capable and gentle handling our Mr. Personality 🙂 I was referred to A Cat Clinic by a friend and I have already shared our experience with other friends!

The moment I walked in, I knew this was the place I needed to take my cat. We’ve been taking him to another clinic in the area and after a bad experience, he dreads going back. A Cat Clinic has a very welcoming environment. The staff was incredibly helpful getting me an appointment the same day. I’m so thankful for their advice and I look forward to taking my cat back.

From the moment I entered the front doors, I felt immediately welcome! The girls at the front desk were super friendly and helpful. My cat and I were shown into a room, and he was given time to check out the area before the vet and the tech came in. The vet was very knowledgeable. I felt she took her time with my cat, and she made sure to answer any questions I had. The vet tech was amazing with my cat too. I am so happy I found a vet so wonderful. This place is the total package. I highly recommend A Cat Clinic!

After growing dissatisfied with our current vet practice of 6 yrs (a self professed “dog” vet seeing our cats, missed vaccinations and follow up calls for test results, pricey, unusually long check in/out at front desk), we had our first visit with A Cat Clinic last week. We have also been wanting to try a cat-only practice. I was thoroughly pleased with the experience! Very professional and pleasant front desk, accommodated a same-day late Friday appt to see our 4 fur balls, efficient but thorough check ups, kind/caring techs and doctor, personable and answered all of my questions, reasonable prices, received immediate follow up email and call from Dr. Rubenstein herself, loved the quiet waiting room (no barking dogs to scare the cats!), received tour of facility!, convenient in-house lab for quick test results…it was all excellent. I only wish we lived closer, but so far it is worth the 35-40 min drive for routine visits. Our cats (and I) gave it 5 stars!

Was seen as soon as I arrived for a routine checkup for my cat. Dr. Rubenstein provided her usual level of valuable, timely, thorough information for me and compassionate care for my pet. She later followed up with more information by email. I travel 35 minutes to get to the Cat Clinic since they always provide the best cat care in the area!

My cat was relatively calm (for a vet visit). I think going to a feline-only clinic soothed her nerves. Had much worse experiences at animal hospitals. The vets and techs were gentle with Ovi and the room set-up showed thoughtfulness for cats. The vet gave me many dental treat samples so that we could make an informed decision about which product to buy.

It’s always a nice experience with the regular check-ups at A Cat Clinic. Our cat was nervous, but everyone was gentle and attentive, so our cat handled the visit without any issues, did not try to run away or hide. The entire office has a quite and comforting aura about it. Our cat went on her own to perch on the windowsill comfortably looking outside waiting for the doctor.

I have been bringing my cat to this Clinic for 3 or 4 years for both medical and boarding as needed. It is a calm, quiet atmosphere and the entire staff is super friendly. My most recent visit could have ended tragically as my cat’s crate collapsed before I got through the door and he ran off into the woods. Within 2 minutes there was a whole team of employees helping me to catch him and we had him safe and sound inside the clinic within a short amount of time. I can’t express my gratitude…and I am not sure I would have received this kind of caring anywhere else…they literally dropped what they were doing and came to my cat’s rescue! During boarding, I receive update emails and am also able to receive his routine medical care. He always comes home content from the experience. I highly recommend The Cat Clinic.

I have been a client here for 10 years (3 cats ago!), even after moving an hour away, and would not hesitate to give any of the vets here my highest recommendation, for anything from routine care to urgent freak-outs. They are smart, sweet, thorough, professional, compassionate, understanding, and accommodating. I am a retired nurse, and all I can say is, I wish I could find a human doc that was half as good. Incomparable excellence in every way..

Have been a long-time client. The doctors have always taken excellent care of my cats and been realistic about options both from a medical and financial standpoint. Have been through end-of-life decisions and critical medical issues with some of my cats in the past and have always been treated with the utmost care and respect for me and my ‘furry child’. Dr. Mustillo and Dr. Rubenstein have been extremely helpful with regard to day to day care questions and issues on general pet health as well. Highly recommend A Cat Clinic.

I am very pleased with my overall experience with this clinic. The layout of the clinic is nice, very open and clean. I had no wait time for my appointment and met the vet promptly. I’m currently dealing with a super stressed kitty and I now have hope that we can make her happy again. Dr. De Bernardis, I can tell, has a true love for cats. She listened to all of my concerns, gave many great suggestions, and most important, put my cat’s well being first. She is the first vet to ever follow up on an appointment with a personal email listing everything we covered during our visit. I would highly recommend the services of this vet clinic.

George does not like being in the car; nor does he like visiting the vet. Today was the best trip to the vet he has had because he wasn’t sick there or on the way back! His anxiety seemed to be almost absent. Maybe he is getting chill in his old age! Dr. Rubenstein is realistic and understands that we can’t always afford everything that George might need but we don’t want him in pain. She helps us make those decisions realistically. Kind, efficient, realistic. Thanks.

I drive from North West DC because I have so much confidence in the veterinarians at the Cat Cinic. I have had veterinarians in “mixed practices” overlook something that is a not a problem wth dogs but is an indication of a very serious problem in cats. And I always learn something – how to reduce stress with multiple cats, how to help keep teeth healthy. With 5 rescue cats I have plenty to learn. I know I am getting the best medical care and I love it that you make make the visit as comfortable as possible for the patients – time to play and get used to the examiining room. I mention Cat Clinic to all my friends with cats and sing your praises.

My two cats have been coming to A Cat Clinic since they were teeny tiny little babies who were found in a dumpster left to die 5 years ago. The staff at A Cat Clinic has been wonderful with their care and are always happy to see Vincent & Jules. My boy is a long haired cat and occasionally needs some shaving in the derriere area. I am amazed every time I bring him in for this service. They are quick, efficient and precise, which I can’t imagine is an easy feat given he hates it when I try to do it at home! If you have feline fur babies, I highly recommend you bring them to A Cat Clinic for all their needs.

We have been going to the Cat Clinic for 20+ years and they are wonderful. During that time, my cats have had many health problems, ranging from minor issues to very serious problems, but we always felt like they were getting excellent care from the Cat Clinic. The doctors are very, very good. They are alert to small changes, very knowledgeable and caring, and proactive concerning preventive medicine. Front desk staff is also friendly and helpful. We love the Cat Clinic!

Always a pleasure bringing my cats to see the doctors at A Cat Clinic. This was just a quick checkup and vaccination/nail trim for my Sasha and Cora, but Dr. Mustillo and the vet tech were both really patient (especially with my hissy Cora) and took the time to make sure everything was going well with both of them. Since Sasha has had some issues with his bile ducts and pancreatitis in the last year, it’s always reassuring to have him checked and hear he’s doing well.

Wonderful experience! We adopted a kitten (Jynx) who’s health was questionable – when her GI issues became more serious after 24 hours at home, A Cat Clinic was able to see her the next day and treated her with such TLC. So grateful for all of the help I have received from staff members on the phone and in person. Jynx is making a speedy recovery and our family is happy to have her back on the mend.

Dr. Rubenstein and her staff were so compassionate, knowledgeable and helpful. Our cat was very upset and uncomfortable, but ACC handled him like pros. I was especially grateful that when I explained some of the natural treatments I’d been doing for our beloved cat, they didn’t discourage or dismiss. So, they’re open-minded, too. Compared to my recent experience at a nearby animal hospital, the ACC staff are gods in my eyes. I’m so happy to have found this place. My husband normally deals with vet issues, so I was nervous and anxious about not knowing what to ask or do. At one point, I tried to call him during my visit–turned out ACC was thorough enough to ease my mind. Still, I have him scheduled to bring our fur baby for the next appointment. Thanks, ACC!

They always treat my baby boy Brice with great care. This time the appointment was a follow-up and ultrasound from a visit to the emergency vet. They eased my concerns and made my boy comfortable during his treatment. My cat tends to be very scared at vets and all employees there know how to handle him so he isn’t as scared.

I have a 10 year old cat who was diagnosed with IBD/pancreatitis. I went to my usual vet closer to home for the diagnosis/treatment, which was a proposed lifelong course of predisolone. This was the immediate answer – no other testing, no other treatment ideas to try first. I didn’t like that idea, so I came here for a second opinion. Dr. Mustillo and her staff were amazing. She proposed a dietary and supplement approach rather than a lifelong steroid approach, which was very appealing to me. I’m writing this review the day after my appointment….because my cat was 100% better after the first day! I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was like some sort of miracle! The treatment plan was to use select protein food (the Royal Canin Rabbit/Duck/Venison food), probiotics, B12, and Cerenia (for nausea and inflammation….MUCH more benign than the prednisolone, and, even better, temporary, not lifelong). I’m not making this up – the first day, he ate 100% of his food (appetite recovered…I guess he likes the rabbit meat!), and (difficult to tell in a two cat house, but) I think his stool was back to normal – first day! I thought this would take a few days to kick in, but right away he’s back to normal. I’m very grateful to Dr. Mustillo – who, by the way, has a great bedside manner and treats people with respect (…unlike my previous vet). Boyds, MD is a bit of a hike for me – about 40 minutes away, but the difference in quality that I’ve observed between this clinic and my last one is so great that I’m probably going to make the trip moving forward.

A Cat Clinic provides the highest quality veterinary care I’ve ever experienced in the 35 years I’ve been a cat parent. They build relationships with the cats and observe behavioral traits and patterns. How awesome is that! For me, it is upsetting when my kitties aren’t feeling well…. or when I need to board them for our vacation time. I get regular updates on how the kitties are doing and I feel reassured that they are getting the best care possible.

I was referred to A Cat Clinic by a friend who raved about this business. My poor kitty’s tail was mauled by another cat and quickly became abscessed and infected. We were greeted by a cheery receptionist who was friendly and personable. The office is a converted home made to be very comforting and inviting. The doctor and staff are exceptionally gentle and kind while at the same time keeping you advised of what is going on. There was a discussion about the possibility of amputating Kitty’s tail as a last resort which was disturbing and thankfully not needed after all. All pet care is expensive. With that being said if you have to take your pet to a facility I would highly encourage you to seek out A Cat Clinic for wonderful medical care for your cats. Well worth the trip!

Although I’m a patient of Dr. Mustillo, Dr. R took my call about start-up kitten care and sent me a really thoughtful, thorough e-mail full of everything I’d need to know if we decided to take the plunge and adopt a new kitty. The next day, Dr. R continued to think on my question and had the receptionists email me a pamphlet about new kitten care. Although she had so many other things going on, she took the time to continue thinking about our question and made sure we had all the information we would need to make our decision.

I made a tearful call to A Cat Clinic which I had learned about through an Internet search. They agreed to see her immediately. Molly lived to the ripe old age of 18, and her sister is turning 19 in May. Thanks to the care of Drs. Rubenstein and Mustillo, my cats have lived long lives. I highly recommend A Cat Clinic.

Our cat had her teeth cleaned ant the before & after pictures told us how excellent the service was and our cat was not drowsy when we picked her up. This was great given the anesthesia she received. If you are looking for a Vet “The Cat Clinic” is where you need to be. We Highly recommend them!

The team at the Cat Clinic is very friendly and welcoming to both me and my feline family member. Dr. Mustillo is thorough, and kind and gentle in her approach. I always feel as though I am visiting a friend, as I am invited in, offered a warm beverage, and given a comfy place to sit with Rae Rae (cat) and discuss her health. We adore the Cat Clinic and the wonderful members of their team. I asked Rae Rae to comment as well. Her response, “mew mew.” I think that is a good thing.

A Cat Clinic is absolutely wonderful! We were referred here after one of our kitties became ill and our vet didn’t know what else to do. We never went back to that vet and now all three of our cats are seen by the doctors at A Cat Clinic! The staff are knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and most importantly, they care about your cats. This is truly a great team to have on your/your cat’s side.

While it’s never good to have to bring your loved one to a Dr, A Cat Clinic makes me feel better about having to. I know Dr Rubenstein and her staff will do what they can to help my “old man” (Prince is 16 years old). They are always pleasant and very caring and concerned!

For the past 24 years,” A Cat Clinic” has been the exclusive provider of veterinary care for my cats. The level of professionalism exhibited by both the veterinarians and staff is second to none. Equally important is their level of care, concern and compassion for their clients; both my cats and me. I am lucky to have been referred to “A Cat Clinic” years ago and I intend to continue to use their services exclusively. “A Cat Clinic” has provided routine veterinary care for my cats as well as both routine (e.g., spaying and dental) and more complex surgical services (e.g., breast cancer, bladder stones, etc.). I unequivocally recommend “A Cat Clinic” to anyone who is looking for veterinary care for a cat or kitten. “A Cat Clinic” is the best.

Absolutely great! This morning I told friends at Starbucks who also work with cat rescue groups – Last Chance Rescue and Happy Trails – about the incredible attention to Elvis’ behavior problem. They were very impressed with all the suggestions – many of which were new them. Well worth the longer drive. Edward said he found the visit very interesting and was glad he was there to comfort his best friend Elvis while Elvis had his blood drawn. He also enjoyed participating in the rest of Elvis’s exam.

I have left my cat for boarding several times at the Cat Clinic. I always feel like he was well looked after and spoiled. I like that they always provide an email during his stay to let me know how he is doing. I would recommend A Cat Clinic as both a boarding place and vet. I feel like they take the time to listen to me and provide good quality care.

Mickey really enjoyed his visit since the prescribed medications have given him much needed relief. He is going to be 15 years old and the vet treated him with respect that senior kitties need. I am going to bring my other teenage cat to the clinic for his yearly check-ups instead of the vet I currently have used for over 14 years. The staff is friendly and the office is well maintained. This was my first visit, however it won’t be my last!

We have been taking our cats to A Cat Clinic for years. A Cat Clinic has always provided professional and compassionate care for our cats. The staff is always friendly and always ask if your cat is doing well. During the examination, the staff and doctors are very gentle and try to prevent a fearful reaction in our cats. When one of our cats had to be put to sleep, Dr. Rubenstein was right there with us, giving us special time to spend with our beloved Whiskers. She encouraged us, to hold him and comfort him before the injection. She allowed us time to grieve. We were very appreciative of the way the last moments of our cat’s life was spent. This last wellness visit for our 15-year-old Lulu went very well. Dr. Mustillo provided an accurate diagnosis of Lulu’s health problems. She gave us recommendations for caring for her. We highly recommend A cat Clinic.

Excellent clinic! Very knowledgeable and caring doctors, very friendly and caring staff. They corrected misdiagnosis of my cat and were able to manage her health very good. They do all necessary diagnostic procedures and tell what they are going to do before doing it. The doctors always follow up promptly and call with the test results as soon as they are available unlike some other clinics where you have to call again and again just to know test results.

We love our vets here, they have been there during our hardest times, when it was time to say goodbye to our best friends, and when we are welcoming our newest members to our home, even though they have special needs. We have become more educated in the cat world than we were, only because this is their specialty. We have dogs, and of course go to another vet, and I am ok taking my animals to 2 different vets, because it’s in the best benefit of all my pets, and we would not have it any other way.

We adopted a cat from the Montgomery County Adoption Center and took it to A Cat Clinic for its initial checkup. We thought we were adopting a 5 year old healthy cat and it turned out to be a 10 year old special needs cat. Dr. Mustillo was fantastic in helping us handle this situation. She explained how she determined the age of the cat and took a urine sample, which she was able to analyze immediately to determine that the cat had diabetes. She called us very early the next day to let us know the results of the blood work and discuss a course of action. Dr. Mustillo was very understanding, quick and professional in helping us to deal with this situation. The staff is wonderful also and the facilities are very nice. We definitely plan to continue using their services.

I liked A Cat Clinic from the moment I walked in. Not only was the atmosphere very pleasant but I do believe that the absence of dogs with their typical smells and barking was a factor in how comfortable my cat seemed to feel. My cat, who is normally extremely upset about any vet visit, was actually quite composed. She did her usually sniffing around on the counter tops in the exam room but was more curious than frightened. She was very cooperative for Dr. Reubenstein. I think that was probably due to the fact that the doctor clearly KNOWS and appreciates cats. All of that said it is also important to point out that the doctors properly diagnosed and treated my cat who is now back to her typical active self. I would absolutely recommend A Cat Clinic. I live in Potomac, where there are plenty of Vets, but I would rather go a little further-only to Germantown however- and have my cat feel comfortable.

Everyone is wonderful and caring. Buddy enjoyed the window perch where he got to look out the window and into the waiting room while he was waiting his turn. Boo and Buddy appreciated the towels they made into a cave, so they could hide out safely and no one could see them. Dr. Rubenstein even did the exams while they were resting on the window perch – talk about cat service! If I were a cat, this is the only place where I would want to go.

This was my first visit, but I feel like I’m a good judge of “character” when it comes to vet clinics, as Prince Charming has had one health issue after another ever since I adopted him. The clinic was very warm and welcoming. The staff were all very sweet and seemed to really care for my 2 “babies” (one of them is 11 years old) Even though I didn’t want to see it, they seemed to do pretty well with my Tortie, Abby, who is VERY full of the Tortie-tude! One thing I appreciated about Dr Rubenstein was she didn’t jump to the first thing that came to her mind about a treatment for Prince. She’s taking a little time to think about his situation, which is a bit unusual. I was uncertain about going here as I live in Silver Spring, about a 25-30 minute drive. But I REALLY like the idea of a feline-only clinic, so using the ICC, the drive wasn’t that bad.

The visiting Vet that filled in offered helpful information on dental health that I had not heard before. He was a wealth of knowledge. Everything made so much sense. His physical examination was very thorough and I felt assured with his assessment. He was gentle and compassionate with my scared kitty. He was reasonable rather than aggressive with his approach to treatment options/plan, always providing the positives and negatives of each option. He was not pushy. He took his time and was not rushed. He made time to take us right away on the same day that I called for an appointment. I have been coming to A Cat Clinic for several years because of their specialty in cats only and because of the calm and serene environment. Their visiting Vet of choice only reaffirms my loyalty to A Cat Clinic.

We’ve taken our cats to the Cat Clinic since about 1994, and can’t see taking them anywhere else! Drs Rubenstein, Mullins, and Mustillo have given our furry family members the best care possible, through routine care and through several illnesses. We’ve never felt any kind of pressure to do anything that was extreme for the ones with life-ending illnesses, and they helped us give the best care we could and make the difficult decision at the right time. The staff over the years has been great, and in particular, Charlotte and Krystal are wonderful, caring young women that add to the overall experience there. I always recommend the Cat Clinic to my friends and neighbors.

I hope you all already know how great you were with our kitten Flame when we brought him in. We didn’t have an appointment and we haven’t been patients with you for some time, but that didn’t stop you from helping us. When you saw that our kitten was in distress you welcomed us in. Dr. Rubenstein was honest yet compassionate. She provided us with our options, and told us she would “do the best she could,” but the outcome didn’t look too positive. We left Flame there knowing he was in good hands, but not very hopeful that he would survive the night. In the morning we were SO THANKFUL to get a call that said our kitten was doing better. Dr. Rubenstein had actually taken him home with her and she had nursed him back to health over night. He is now running around being an adorable, rambunctious kitten. Thank you so much for believing in him and helping him heal.

I have been going to A Cat Clinic for a year now, and now I wouldn’t trust my cat with anyone else. He can be a bit of a grumpy cat at the vet, and he has already started to trust them. Believe me, this is a huge accomplishment. I have never had another vet’s office be so friendly to both my cat and me. He was a rescue cat, and has had a few reoccurring issues. Dr. M. figured out the issue as quickly as possible, and has him on a new regimen that has kept him healthy. They have great office hours, and are accommodating with schedules.
