Cat Clinic of Cary

I own Sally Said So Professional Dog Training. You may be asking yourself why we are posting on the Cat Clinic of Cary page. The relationship between a vet and trainer is vital for behaviorally healthy pets and content owners. Cats can develop behavior issues from being constantly harassed by their canine housemates. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Eachus. She is a hero to animals with disabilities and always reliable. I send my clients with cats to her without a second thought. She is a wonderful asset to your felines behavioral and physical wellness.
Sally Said So APPROVED!

I cannot in good faith recommend this doctor. In the last few years the clinic and the care has diminished to the point of great concern. There is a lack of attention, and communication. I get told different things by staff and the doctor, and things were not being recorded on my cat’s chart which interfered with their care (very concerning). It just feels like chaos from the time you walk in to the time you walk out, with being rushed, not given the opportunity to ask questions/​speak up, and being constantly interrupted. An office visit takes literally a matter of three minutes. Dr. Jenn seems VERY incredibly rushed and unfocused. The clinic itself doesn’t feel clean, has an odor and desperately needs a facelift. I greatly admire Dr. Jenn’s involvement in the community, Willy’s Facebook page, and her rescue efforts but the bottom line is… I expect that same level of care/​attention for my fur babies, and I can confidently say I do not believe they will receive it here. The attention has shifted from patient care to branding/​marketing an image, and ultimately I think it will be the demise of this clinic.

When I moved to the area I happened to drive by the Cat Clinic and was excited to find an all-​feline veterinarian. While living in Greensboro I was a loyal client of the Greensboro Cat Clinic, which started under the same ownership as the Cary clinic. I went to the Cary Clinic with high expectations and have been very pleased with the quality of care and compassion Dr. Jenn and her staff show all of my cats. One of my cats has an auto-​immune disease that it took three veterinarians close to five months to diagnose — being poked and prodded on a weekly basis for so long has resulted in trips to the vet causing him a lot of anxiety. Dr. Jenn and everyone at the clinic always manage to reduce his anxiety and show him so much attention and affection that he is noticeably more calm after his visit than beforehand. I have found Dr. Jenn’s approach to care appropriately conservative and appreciate the way she always involves me in making decisions by explaining all options available, their pros and cons, listening to and addressing all of my concerns addressing and taking the time to make sure I feel comfortable and understand the plan moving forward. From the care provided to the clinic cats, most of which have special needs, to the care and attention Dr. Jenn shows all of her clients, both human and feline, Dr. Jenn goes above and beyond the call of duty every day. I cannot imagine taking any of my kitties anywhere else.

Caring, friendly & honest! Treats everyone w/​respect including the furry friends. They go out of their way to keep you informed, their pets are a part of their family & they understand how important they are! Great business model… treat people with respect, treat their pets better!!!

We have been taking our two kitties to Dr. Jen for nearly 10 years. They received top notch care and wonderful attention from her and her staff through many checkups and through some tough health situations. What we especially appreciated was how Dr. Jen was so patient with us — explaining the situation each time and giving us a full rundown of our different options, allowing us to make educated choices about their care while still keeping mind that we had to pay for that care. She even landed one kitty a majorly discounted heart workup at NCSU vet school through a study when she (rightly) suspected he had heart disease. She’s taken the time to do research just for us about my cat food questions and given us thoughtful answers. She helped us say goodbye to our second kitty yesterday in a caring respectful way, and we look forward to working with her again once we are ready for a new kitty. I hope those looking for a vet in the area will consider working with Dr. Jen regardless of any negative reviews they may come across. Everyone knows that those having a less positive experience are far more likely to write reviews of a business or service. Also, quite a number of negative reviews that have been popping up lately are from people who have never met Dr. Jen let alone work with her.

Dr. Jenn has dedicated her life both personally and professionally to helping animals especially those with special needs. I take my two cats to her clinic and am confident that they are receiving great care. every time I go to Food Lion next door I peer through the blinds to see what the «clinic cats» are up to and I love to follow «Willie» on FB. Dr. Jenn is a great community assest and takes Willie and the Bully Brothers to local retirement homes to put a smile on the faces of the senior residents.

I’ve been taking my cats to the CCC since I moved to NC 1998. My previous cats lived long, healthy lives. Dr. Jenn is now caring for my current fur babies and I couldn’t be happier with the service. My cats suffered from the melamine pet food poisoning in 2007 and Dr. Jenn saved their lives. She knew immediately what to do. One of my cats suffers from IBS and is now relieved of symptoms because of her expertise. Cats are tricky when it comes to health issues and Dr. Jenn really knows what she is doing. I also love that there are several cats in the office with health issues that make them unadoptable. She provides a caring environment to these cats where they would otherwise be put down. She, and her staff, really care about kitties.

My elderly cat was at the end of his lifespan of 15years. I had a feeling it was time to put him down and I was prepared to do so. Cary cat clinic (ccc) wanted to order a panel of lab tests to determine his issue. I disagreed with their evaluation and I felt they made me feel like a bad owner or something. I left, went to another vet who agreed that at this stage it may be best to put him down but I would have to make that final call and I did. I will always miss my beloved cat. Go with your gut feeling. Also, there were 0 seats for paying clients. The front desk staff said the chairs were for the cats. There were a limited amount of chairs in the waiting area. I had to stand before being seen. It’s already hard enough making this type of visit, but don’t make the experience more uncomfortable.
Ccc used to be better under the original ownership when they first opened. Go elsewhere for better bedside manners.

I cant say enough good things about the Cat Clinic of Cary and ALL of the staff. I have never come across people who love what they do and care about animals as much as this vet and the staff. There is no guit trip for the pet owner (other vets have made me feel bad before for not knowing my animals illness as well as they do). They treat humans with kindness and cats with so much love, they are paitent and caring when kids come in too. I find the prices more than reasonable and I am glad to know that Dr Eches is always there when my Elvis needs her. My children and I are all very happy with «our cat doctor» as my kids like to call her.

I a feeling of panic Sunday night I found a tick on Mandy our cat and couldn’t get it out. I knew if I went to the Cary Cat Clinic that they would help me. Yup, they did it! Without an appointment and really happy to help me, all set!
Thank you!

I found out about CCC through the facebook page for Willie Hodge, the vet’s cat. I first visited the office a year or so ago just to meet Willie. Jennifer Hodge, the vet, brought him out herself so that I could pet him. Then in May of this year one of my cats became very ill (he had been going downhill for awhile). Dr. Hodge and her assistant came to my home and we put my kitty to sleep. They were very kind and compassionate. They later sent a sympathy card. Just recently I took another cat to them for a UTI. They diagnosed him very quickly, gave me antibiotics and some pain meds for him, and we went home. He was much better after two days. The visit cost was average and I didn’t feel overcharged. I felt like the vet and the staff was very attentive and I have no complaints!

Avoid this place. About 4 years ago our male cat had a urinary tract infection, and they basically said «if you don’t do ~$ 400 worth of stuff right now, he could die today» This sat uncomfortably with us, but we didn’t want for our cat to die… so we went ahead and bit the bullet and had his procedures done.
The next week we went to a small veterinary office near our house to basically get a post-​procedure 2^nd opinion. Dr Graham, who owns Lake Wheeler Veterinary, told us that he would not have died, and that we just needed to give him some simple medications that amounted to about $ 50. In fact, he had another urinary tract infection about a year later and we did just that… with Dr. Graham of course.
Highly recommend Lake Wheeler Veterinary… definitely stay away from the Cat Clinic of Cary.
