Kingstowne Cat Clinic

I had hoped to have better experiences at this cat-​only vet clinic. I paid a fee to have records copied but the vet didn’t bother to look at them. Both times we went a few minutes early for Saturday morning appointments, but as the waiting room filled up with miserable cats and stressed my pet out and they were still accepting walk-​ins. The last time I went the wait was 40 minutes and the cat was unhappy and uncontainable by the time the vet saw him, so the tech weighed him in his carrier and broke the door hinge somehow. Unfortunately their prices and practices seem pretty average for the area, so I started going a little further to NOVA cat clinic where at least they aren’t overbooked.

they do a nice job. they will take the time to explain your options. their prices are fair.

After his medical treatment proved unsuccessful, we had to make the tough choice to euthanize our sixteen year-​old cat, Ludwig. I appreciated the compassionate care we received from the doctors and staff at Kingstowne Cat Clinic. Their care made a tough situation much better than it could have been, and I am grateful to them for it.

The vets here are fantastic. I always feel that they are genuine in their interest and care for the kitties. I had two senior citizens (now 16+) and two youngsters (now 5+). Last Saturday I had to put one of my two senior citizen kitties down. To put it mildly, I was deeply saddened Friday after work when it became very obvious that it was time (and worse the next day). I was relieved that they were open on Saturday when I called in the morning and they made sure to fit me in, within an hour. Dr. Boos, who had not seen this kitty, was AMAZING. She was gentle, provided options and was a great guide during the process as well as made sure a tech was there to help comfort my kitty. This was (and is) terrible for any pet and pet parent to go through and I wouldn’t have wanted to have this anywhere else.

Great pricing and availability for our cat’s declawing. My only complaint was that the length of her stay seemed to be uncertain, depending on who we spoke to. She made it out fine!

I can’t say enough positive about Kingstowne Cat Clinic.
We started using this vet after we were highly unsatisfied by another vet office in the area. A friend recommended Kingstowne Cat Clinic.
Dr. Boos is amazing. She listens. She doesn’t try to guilt you into high dollar treatments. She spends so much time explaining test results and possible options.
We’ve had two serious issues with two of our kitties this past year. Both times, she’s spent an inordinate amount of her time explaining the situations in layperson terms. She also offered to email the xrays to my sister-​in-​law who’s a vet in KY just to get a second opinion. We wouldn’t trust our kitties to anyone else.
I recommend her to anyone and everyone who asks. We feel fortunate to have found such an amazing vet.

I have a high maintenance cat, and the doctors at Kinstowne have been very helpful, friendly, and informative as we tried to navigate the combination of diabetes and hyperthyroid he was dealing with.
Sadly, he got very sick last week. Kingstowne worked me into the schedule the day I called, and I think the tech who answered the phone could hear the fear in my voice. She gave me a few options about when to bring him in, and we worked out the best option for us. Dr. Boos had never seen my kitty, but was so caring and listened closely as I explained the symptoms and what was going on. She x-​rayed him and suggested that I take him for an ultrasound pretty quickly. Dr. Boos helped arrange for another facility to see him, sent over records, and gave me some very realistic information about what was coming. Sadly, I had to put my guy to sleep that night, as he was much sicker than even I thought. Dr. Boos called me while she was off over the weekend and left me the sweetest message, giving her condolences and offering to talk to me, if I needed. Even though she only spent a short time with my cat, she made me feel like he was the most important patient she saw all day, and I really appreciate what she did for my cat and I.
Kingstowne is not the closest vet to where I live, but they came recommended by a friend, and now I can recommend them as well. I will continue to use them for my other kitty.

I’ve taken my cat to the Kingstowne Cat Clinic for 4 years now. Let’s just say that Ripken can be «difficult» at the vet office. But the doctors at Kingstowne are very patient, even when he goes psycho and scratches one. The contraption they have to put «difficult» cats to sleep during the examination is perfect for cats that freak out at the vet. The entire staff is friendly and I would never take my cat anywhere else for care.

Our cat Nevada has been a patient at the Kingstowne Cat Clinic for the past 16 years. They have always provided excellent care for her. Today we had to put her asleep (19 years old). Dr. Boos and the staff were very kind and compassionate during this difficult procedure. If you truly love your cat (s), you won’t find a more caring group of cat health professionals than the Kingstowne Cat Clinic.

I’ve been bringing my cats here since 1993 and they are terrific! All the vets and staff are very caring. Through the years I’ve had to have several of my babies put to sleep and the vets are so understanding and do their best to soften the blow. I can’t say enough about them. Through the years my cats have been seen by each of the vets, but Dr. Boos and Dr. Gulledge have seen them from the beginning. Although Dr. Mosoriak hasn’t been with the practice as long, she is just as great. Everyone at this practice really understands that our pets are our family and they act accordingly.

Great Docs. Been coming here for years. They have helped us through any tough times. They are smart and caring and will go the extra mile to help.

The only reason I don’t go to KCC anymore is because I moved away from the area. When I was still there, I never considered going to any other clinic. The vets there have held my hand and cried with me when it was time to put one of my beloveds down. When my cat was seriously injured right before I had to leave on a trip, they kept him at the clinic, treated and medicated him, and called me every single day with a progress report. They have worked my cats into their schedules even on days when they were packed with other clients.
I like that they tailor their practice to cats, because like another poster stated, I never had to worry about their coming face to face with a big dog in the waiting room. Trust your cats to the fine vets there. They are some of the most competent and compassionate you will find anywhere. Their bedside manner is wonderful, both with the cats and with people.

We take Eric here quite often for his Soft Paws, which he totally hates in every possible way. He really is a fat, mean and horrible cat to the nicest, most gentle people I’ve ever seen.
I’ve offered to drug him, use a dart gun, pills. You name it. I’ll trank that hissing little SOB faster than the mafia whacks a wise guy. No problem. They have declined. Not even Xanax. Really.
They are nearly ready to dance around some damn bonfire, insisting on his right to be you and me. Whatever. I’m still gonna knock his furry butt out next time.
Valium. Heh. Oh. And Eric? You’re getting sparkly pink Soft Paws.

I have been taking my cat here for over 10 year. The receptionists are always nice and friendly. They seem to know my cat and are great about getting us in pretty quickly.
We see Dr. Boos and she is wonderful. She listens and tries to get to the heart of the matter. She continues to have us back for follow ups as we try to figure out the correct dosage for my cat’s issues. And the follow-​ups are very reasonably priced.
I fear I am nearing the big decision with my cat as her health is steadily declining. At 16, this can be expected and Dr. Boos will be the only one I would trust to help me during this time. She cares about the cats and their humans.

I have been taking my cat to this place since 2005 and pleased with the service that I receive here. The vets and the office staff are very friendly and take good care of my cat.

After adopting my cat, she developed an infection to the incision made from her spay surgery. I took her to the original vet and they put a heavy-​duty staple into her incision to keep it closed. Even with a cone, she ripped it out. In a panic, I took her to Kingstowne Cat Clinic because it’s right around the corner. They were stunned that another vet would put a staple that size in a kitten. They fixed her up in a jiffy — and I’ve been taking my cat there for 7 years with nothing but awesome experiences ever since.

Finding the perfect place for your beloved pets is tough — that’s why I couldn’t be happier that I found Kingstown Cat Clinic. Ginger (our cat) has been a guest here since we adopted her. Every year they do a great job with her annual tests, and I bring her in monthly for a claw trim. I know, I could trim the claws myself, but Ginger doesn’t like it, so I ‘outsource’ it to Kingstowne. Trust me, they are way better at it that I would be.
They do a wonderful job all around, and even know Ginger by name! Seriously, when I call for an appointment, you can hear the excitement in their voice when I tell them that Ginger is coming in. They love my cat! That is one of the main reasons that anytime I need to go out of town for a fews days I leave Ginger with Kingstowne Cat Clinic for boarding.
The crew at Kingstowne really do know and love cats, and that is why they will be the only place I take Ginger for as long was we live in Northern VA.

I really enjoy this place. I’ve been twice so far. Of course, one of my favorite aspects is the obvious– that it’s a place just for cats. That means when I bring my cat in here, there isn’t a chance of a bigass dog exiting the door as we’re entering, or a noisy dog barking and making a lot of noise in the waiting room. (I’m not against dogs– I have a big dog– but my cat is elderly with a heart murmur, so, the less stress on her, the better.)
I also like the vets I’ve seen– they always take the time to answer all of my questions, and they let me know what’s going on with my kitty’s health without making unnecessary or invasive suggestions. They let me know what my options are, but they’ve also been realistic about what would be helpful and what probably won’t make any difference.

I have been here a few times and have been happy with Dr. Boos as my cat’s vet. She seems to be genuinely interested in my cat’s wellbeing and took the time to discuss my concerns about his health. I plan on continuing to come here and would recommend it to other cat owners.
The office staff has been friendly and helpful.

My family has taken our three cats here a number of times and we finally stopped going.
They over charge for unnecessary tests, only to tell you later that there was «nothing wrong» with our cats.
First of all, one of the cats had tape worms, which then gave it to the other two cats. They told us the results for worms was negative but I found tapeworm segments where the cat slept. We finally just bought meds online and treated them ourselves.
Second, they told us our new cat was MALE. A few weeks later, I heard the usual yowling and watched as the cat «assumed the position.» We’d never bothered to check if the cat was male or female because we just went with what the vet told us. It was clearly a female.
Third, they didn’t really seem to know how to treat the cat. If the vet’s office can’t give your cat meds, but you can, then what in the heck would you need the vet for? They acted like they were terrified of the cat. I’m not sure how good the quality of care is that they can give your cat if they can’t give it a physical.
Was there several times and was never impressed. We have since moved on to a new vet.
