I am a stray cat feeder and foster parent along with my fiance. Our first stray that was the one who started our feeding journey, Dream was very very sick. We have been feeding him and letting him stay the night whenever he wanted to for over 3 years but this last year, we watched him get weaker and weaker. This last month he was so skinny. All bones. His eyes were glazed and he kept peeing all over the place and was very weak. We don't have much money at all and have 3 cats inside already. Well, our friend Kim had a friend from a rescue bless us with an appointment at this vet here. We live about 35 mins away and dropped off Dream expecting the worst. They kept him for over a week and a half. Dr. Adam did NOT want to give up on our stray! God is so good because we prayed and prayed for assistance and for Dream to have peace and his pain taken away and lo and behold, he was diagnosed and treated and he came back a BRAND NEW CAT! I wish I could post videos on here because he has this spark of life in him that I haven't seen in 2 years! And he is neutered now too! He is vocal and loving and wanting to play again. It's literally like he came back from the dead. Thank you Dr. Adam for not giving up on this stray even when we as owners were discouraged. This vet wants the best for your pet! I will try to post a picture for comparisons because this vet and these people/angels brought our cat to life again. Thank you a million times! πΊππ»β€οΈ

Dr. Adam is the best. We had an emergency and he was able to squeeze us in real quick to ensure everything was okay with my Spade. I know they're busy and we wholeheartedly appreciate him and his team.

Dr Adam, Jessica and Coleen are phenomonal. They made a place in their busy schedule to help us when my elderly mom's dog needed to cross the rainbow bridge. They were patient, kind, attentive and efficient. Dr Adam explained what was happening every step, I highly reccommend this place and these people.
