Civic Feline Clinic

Took my baby here today and they were so wonderful. They were patient, kind, & knowledgeable. I took her here for a concerning bump on her face and they did a thorough check up on her as well as inspecting the bump. They offered me advice for her daily care aside from just the bump removal and testing. I appreciated that it was a cat only vet. The vet sat on the floor with her and talked to her while providing care. They asked me lots of questions regarding my Cera’s health and quality of life, and they had blankets that she could hide under, which I appreciated. I’m a young adult so I’m not very familiar with vet pricing but the exam was $95 for anyone wondering. I will certainly be back when my baby needs care.

My cat always gets the best care here!! The staff are all very pleasant and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is very cat oriented!! My 18 yr cat, Piper, def appreciates this "Cat only" environment!! It's nice not having to deal with barking during his Dr visits!!🙂

I’ve been taking my cat Riley here for a few years and have been very happy with them, and with Dr. Roach in particular. My girl was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a few years ago and it’s been managed beautifully with meds and care from this office. Dr. Roach is very kind, straightforward (in a good way), and knowledgeable. She always takes time to answer my questions and explain the reasoning behind different tests and treatment options. (Nothing drives me crazier than when a doctor wants to order expensive tests but can’t explain how the results of those tests will inform the treatment plan.) The vet techs have all been lovely, too! The office seems well run and appointments are generally kept right on time (well, except the time I myself was late but that’s on me). The waiting room is calm and spacious, and it’s great to be cats only. Anytime I’ve emailed with a question someone gets back to me promptly. There’s ample parking right outside the office, and the drive is a straight shot from North Oakland. Bottom line, I feel my girl is in good hands with this clinic and Dr. Roach, and I’m happy I found them!

This is the best vet clinic ever!! I moved to the Bay Area from LA recently and I didn’t think my last vet clinic could be topped, but let me tell you… a feline only vet clinic is the way to go. There are towels sprayed with Feliway to drape over carriers for stressed out cats, a very large waiting area so cats don’t feel on edge, lots of cat goods for sale. The patient room had treats prepared, baskets with blanket under the chairs, and a large towel on the exam table. When the vet came in, she was very calm and didn’t force my cat out of the carrier. That made my cat feel comfortable to come out and he let her do the exam. Normally he’s scared af during exams and wants to hide. The vet asked me lots of questions and gave great suggestions. Her staff had reached out to my old vet clinic to get my cats medical history and it was very helpful. I highly recommend this clinic!!

I like the Vet there. They are caring and informative. However, I would not go back there because I don’t agree with their business practice. I followed instructions and took my cat back for a tech visit. The tech told me they didn’t take my cat’s blood pressure. The tech didn’t inform me about the extra cost. I ended up paying $80 for my cat’s blood pressure being taken. It is hard for me to image when I go to doctor appointment for myself and the office forget to take my blood pressure and have to charge me extra to check my blood pressure. That is just unbelievable.

I love this veterinary practice!! It’s wonderful to have found a practice devoted to felines.l The staff are friendly, respectful, and knowledgeable. Each one is very gentle and has a way with cats. Dr. Roach is amazing. I never have to wait long. I highly recommend them.

Love bringing my cat here. It’s so much better than any other vet I have been to. The fact that it is only cats is so much better for my little boy. The staff are wonderful, the lobby area is beautiful and there are all kinds of cat centric things everywhere. Funny posters, adorable pictures, every detail from the Kleenex dispenser in the bathroom to the trash can next to the desk-it’s all cat related. It’s super cute. Also, the clinic is very wheelchair accessible. There is a handicap space very close to the door (there’s a short step free walkway before you get to the door) and there is a wheelchair accessible restroom inside. The door is a bit heavy so that may be challenging for some, but if you call when you get there to let staff know they are happy to help you with that or with carrying your cat in from the car if you need it. Also, they have a clinic insurance/discount plan you can join and having a senior cat I really appreciate that because exams are included for no additional fee so I never have to debate if something is serious enough to justify the exam fee. I can just bring him in - better safe than sorry.
