I’ve been taking my cats to The Cat Practice since 2006. Recently, my 15-year-old cat, Apollo, developed health issues that progressed very rapidly. Dr. Dodson treated both me and Apollo with the utmost care and respect. When it came time to say goodbye, the entire staff ensured that Apollo had a respectful transition to his next journey. There are many, many good things I can say about The Cat Practice, but their approach to end of life care is perhaps the most impressive to me. I’m so grateful to them for caring for my cats for so many years. I know that my cats—and I—have been in very good hands.

We're so grateful for the vets and staff at the Cat Practice! Everyone is so friendly, kind, and patient with my million questions and embarrassingly frequent phone calls over minor kitty health concerns. Being a cats-only clinic enormously reduces the stress my cats experience when they go to the vet (which is fairly frequently for my poor herpes kitty who needs regular breathing treatments), but I would still go even if it wasn't because the staff are just that awesome and obviously care so much about their patients. Beau and Evie appreciate y'all!

My partner and I recently moved from Los Angeles to Nola and needed to establish care for our senior cat, Oliver. I am so grateful we found the Cat Practice in Nola. Dr. Dodson and her team were so kind and patient! As an anxious cat parent with high expectations for his care, the Cat Practice really put my mind at ease. I can’t say enough thanks to Dr. Dodson and my vet tech, Ms. Tabitha, for being so kind and working so well with Oliver. Having a clinic dedicated to just cats truly makes a huge difference. The whole team (including the amazing front staff) were very thorough and communicative. The attention to detail and kindness ensures me that I’ve found the perfect clinic for him!

If you love cats, get ready to meet a vet practice who somehow loves them even more. Recently moved back to town and needed my orange boy Gus’ limp looked at. Was able to make a same day appointment on line for a reasonable fee. Going for a vet visit where no dogs are around to spike the anxiety is truly a game changer. Mr. Gus was so relaxed, I swear he almost stayed with Dr. Dodson and her amazing crew! Highly recommend.

I love love love this place! So glad I finally made the switch from my other vet to a place with more knowledgeable staff. I’ll definitely recommend the cat practice to my friends and family.
