Critter Care Veterinary Hospital

I have been taking my cats to Critter Care for 14 years. I have taken feral cats, stray cats and also my own house cats. Dr. Portugal has always treated my animals very professionally, even the ferals and strays that I have had to bring in. She treated one of my cats who had asthma and diabetes. To help me save money, she taught me to give this cat injections so I wouldn't have to bring him in for shots every three weeks. With her care, this cat lived over 7 years, which he wouldn't have considering he had both conditions simultaneously. She has always been compassionate and kind when I have had to euthanize any of them for cancer, feline leukemia, stroke, emphysema and other terminal diseases. She even met me at her office one Sunday night at 11:00 p.m. to treat my asthmatic cat who would have died from the severe asthma attack he was having. I have never had a problem getting an appointment when my cats were sick and her diagnosis has always been correct. Her staff have always been very polite to me especially Tara and Teresa. Each time I have been in her waiting room, the people I met there were very happy with her service. Many of them have been bringing their animals to her for years. One man who moved away drove the distance just to have her take care of his dog. I would recommend her and have recommended her in the past.

I have used this vet for my cats for 8 years and have only seen caring from the staff. Dr. Portugal truly loves animals and this is apparent at each visit!

i took my cat to critter care about 4 months ago and did not have a very good experience. first of all, they were very rough with the cat, gripping him too hard and scaring him, a lot. but that isnt the worst of it. they gave him a vaccination for a urinary tract infection, this was all okay. but they told me that said vaccination would last him for a year. but, 4 months later he has another infection that could be fatal. i waited to bring him to another vet because i was under the impression he was going to be okay for a year. so now, our cat is in intensive care and may not make it because of faulty information. i hope you found this useful.
