Cat Clinic At Canyon Park

I have never been so thankful for a veterinarian and clinic as I am for Dr. Gawley and CC @ Canyon Park. Since moving to WA, I'd been looking for a veterinarian I could develop a relationship with and who would get to know my pets. It seems like a lot of clinics are no longer private but are owned by a larger company. Dr. Gawley's practice is smaller, just being her and one other veterinarian, I think. Dr. Gawley was probably a cat in another life and knows cats - read as she's quirky and a cat whisperer, literally she will happily chat at your cat and try to get a sense of how to approach even the most nervous cats. I think she has a great grasp on both older and newer ways of practicing and seems to always be learning and researching. She's infinitely curious and thoughtful in her medical practice. I will say that Dr. Gawley can get distracted and seems to be in her own head a lot as she's thinking through what is going on and what to do next; I think it's part of her practice and way of being as a veterinarian. So she may walk away while talking and I have been confused at times. However, I've always been able to ask follow up questions and have them answered. In addition to Dr. Gawley, all of her staff are just the most wonderfully kind people. I 15/10 recommend Dr. Gawley and Cat Clinic at Canyon Park!

This clinic is absolutely wonderful. The staff, doctor, and assistant were all incredibly kind, patient, and truly caring. The doctor was gentle and knowledgeable, and my usually anxious cat stayed calm the entire visit that alone says everything. No upselling, no pressure, no unnecessary tests. Just honest, transparent, high quality veterinary care. This is the kind of clinic you can trust with your pet’s health. Highly recommended five stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

My cat would not be alive today if it weren’t for Dr. Gawley and her incredible team. They have been absolutely amazing as we navigate my cat’s very challenging medical condition. Dr. Gawley truly cares about every cat in her care—she listens, is responsive, and is available when you need her most, which is something I can’t say about many veterinarians I’ve experienced. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a compassionate and dedicated veterinarian and highly recommend her and her team.

Dr. Gawley is the best! She doesn't rush through an exam. She'll spend as much time with your cat & you as needed. Shes very gentle with the cats. I drive past many vet clinics to have my cat be seen by her.

I've been going to Dr.Gawley for over 15+ years, with all of the 14 cats in my home as pets & fosters. Admittedly this is not a high-tech business, with a sterile atmosphere. It's a place where you can get the best care & diagnosis for your beloved kitty! Dr. Gawley is a one-of-a- kind, a little bit "old-fashioned", but totally current on cat health issues, Vet. She has saved me thousands of $$ in unnecessary diagnostic procedures over the years. And those needed are pretty well accurately diagnosed before having them. No one can replace the knowledge she has gained over the last 30+ yrs with her "hands-on" experience. As for me & my kitties, we'll take this "old fashioned" Clinic for excellent, up- to-date health care, every time!

Not only did they help me find and adopt the perfect cat for my family, but they’ve helped with every step of the way with being a new fur parent. Shannon is especially fabulous!

Only go here if your cat is perfectly obedient and never scared. I’ve taken my cats to this clinic for three years, but my last visit made it clear that anxious or "difficult" cats are not welcome. One of my cats has always been nervous with this particular doctor. She was labeled "bossy" on our first visit, and despite trying anxiety medication in later years, the doctor became visibly frustrated during the exam and vaccination. I was asked to leave the room, and afterward the doctor was rude, barely spoke to me, and left without any explanation. I understand that vet visits are stressful—but patience, compassion, and professionalism should be part of the job. If your cat is calm and compliant, this may be fine. If your cat is fearful or needs extra care, I’d recommend looking elsewhere.
