I am so glad we found Cat Doctors for our fur baby! They were INCREDIBLY quick to get us seen for an initial appointment and the care team was wonderful! Dr Coombs did a great job explaining where our cat is health-wise and our cat has never been so relaxed at a vet office before! Given the email communications and information we've received, we really feel like Cat Doctors puts the health of our kitty above everything else! Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend this place enough. My experience here was truly exceptional from beginning to end. One day my cat suddenly became very sick, and I went to several other clinics where I couldn’t get any answers simply because I didn’t have a large amount of money upfront. They did not want to help me, and they didn’t offer any hope for my cat’s condition. But the moment I called this clinic, everything changed. The very first person who answered the phone took their time with me, listened to everything I had to say, and immediately offered options to make sure my cat could be seen. That alone gave me hope. Later, we discovered that my cat sadly had cancer, and his condition was not good. Even so, we tried chemotherapy, and something I will forever be grateful for is that Dr. Taylor Coombs and her entire team did absolutely everything in their power to help save my cat. They always called to check on him. They always followed up on appointments and treatments. They constantly showed genuine care—not only for my cat’s health, but also for us as his family. When the moment came and the treatment was no longer helping, Dr. Taylor Coombs stayed with us through the entire euthanasia process. Even though it was one of the most painful moments of our lives, she handled everything with such peace, compassion, and gentleness that it brought us comfort in the middle of our grief. She guided us through every step, made sure our cat was calm and not in pain, and stayed by our side until the very end. Her presence during that moment meant more to us than words can ever express, and we are deeply grateful that she accompanied us through something so difficult. Dr. Taylor Coombs was incredibly professional and truly went above and beyond. I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart because I know she genuinely cared about our cat. I strongly encourage anyone who has a cat to please bring them here. The people who work at this clinic are real angels who truly love animals and

If you have a cat and want the best care for them then this is the place for you. I switch between Dr. Connolly and Dr. Whitlow and the girls up front are amazing and love my kitties as much as I do. I love that a vet or a vet tech is always there if you have a question or concern. I send them texts and pictures and get answers back, its great. They are on the pricier side of things but you honestly get what you pay for which is top notch care. I will always bring my cats back here.

We live with two cats. The older one is probably around 16-17 years old, and the younger one is now 12. The older one has beautiful fur and is very handsome, but he absolutely hates going to the vet.Taking him to the vet is like leading doctors and nurses into a lion's den, so we always feel sorry for the clinic staff. This time, our older cat (Monge)had a persistent, uncomfortable cough for almost a month. So, we had no choice but to take him to the vet. After explaining to the clinic staff as best we could about Monge (and how much he hates the vet), we took him in for treatment. Since a chest X-ray was necessary, anesthesia was unavoidable. Monge is a descendant of lions with such a strong will that even two tranquilizer pills don't calm him down, so anesthesia is the only way to treat him. While he was under anesthesia, we also had a lion cut done, as we always do. Fortunately, after all the treatments, the results showed that it was an allergy accompanied by a slight asthma. After just one day of giving him the medication, Monge’s cough miraculously stopped. Dr.Coombs, we sincerely thank you for your kindness and the genuine care you show for our cats( Include Charlie). Even though we have to drive about 50 minutes to get there, because it’s worth to see Dr Coombs! And thanks to Hailey and Kade as well. We've had Monge’s lion cut done a total of six times, but this lion cut is truly perfect!! Who seems to firmly believe he is a descendant of lions, a wonderful lion-style haircut that helped him find his true identity. Also, thanks to all the other kind staff members, we feel very comfortable and happy at The Cat Doctors.

I adopted Ava Gardner & Orange Julius as kittens from a shelter fully vaccinated & spayed/neutered, so I did a lot of research to find a vet for their first annual visit. The location was warm, inviting, & serene. Dr. Miller was extraordinarily compassionate, thorough, informative, encouraging (these are my first cats!!) & of course brilliant all the way around. Lydia was charming, uplifting, encouraging, & also helped ease the entire process!! I drove over an hour for the appointment, & so glad I did. We found a vet for life!!

Being new to this office, I am so grateful for their quick response and the level of care they provided. The veterinarian took the time to thoroughly examine my cat, clearly explain what was happening, and discuss treatment options without rushing us. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference when we needed it most. If you’re looking for a vet who truly cares about your pets and their owners, this is the place to go.

The Cat Doctors fit us in on very short notice and took great care of our boy through several unexpected visits in the same week. The doctors were thoughtful with the treatment plan and very clear and communicative about the options, and the staff was always friendly and provided consistent updates throughout the process. Everyone we interacted with was professional and intentional about providing good care. We absolutely recommend The Cat Doctors if you're looking for the best quality care.

My cat Pancho passed away almost two months ago, and I still wish I had brought him to Cat Doctors much earlier. After taking him to multiple vets in Tampa, Cat Doctors was the one place where I truly felt that the staff and the doctor genuinely cared about my little one. Unfortunately, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to put him down. However, the support and compassion I received from Dr. Connolly and the veterinary technicians was unmatched. It was probably the hardest day of my life, but being surrounded by such kind and empathetic people made an incredibly painful moment a little more bearable. I truly felt that they cared about my baby in his final moments. As someone who can be very particular and critical about where I go for care, I can confidently say that Cat Doctors is absolutely the best in Tampa. I wouldn’t take my future kitties anywhere else. Thank you, Dr. Connolly, and everyone who supported my boyfriend and me that day. I will never forget your kindness.

10/10! Dr. Coombs and her staff were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. I’ve always had issues with vets cause they can sometimes subconsciously cater more to dogs… not here! My cat can be aggressive with vets from past traumatic experiences, but the vets here were very professional and handled my cat with gentleness and care. I would recommend this vet to any and all cat owners without reservations.

Five stars isn't enough! A trusted vet recommended the Cat Doctors to us and we drove almost an hour to their clinic and it was the best choice we made for our cat! We were so impressed with the care our sphinx cat received with Dr. Whitlow and his staff and how they accommodated us last minute. They are soooo compassionate, empathetic, and caring. Dr. Whitlow made us feel so comfortable and understood regarding our apprehension about neutering our cat and took so much time listening to us and gently offering his recommendations and advice. I really can't say enough about our experience with him at the Cat Doctors. Highly, highly recommend!!
