Been with the Cat clinic for just over 10 years and would never change. They've always been really professional and friendly both the actual vets and the reception staff. Over the years my cat had a couple more serious issues and each time it was handled really well, the vets listen to any concerns I have and give advice when I need it.

I moved to the Cat Clinic from a general vet practice. Since moving I have realised how brilliant, helpful and kind everyone at the Cat Clinic is. I would definitely recommend them to any cat owner who is seeking good care for their cat.

Our Frank is always at ease whenever he visits the Cat Clinic, especially with his amazing vet Hanna who quickly knew what he needed. We’re always so happy and satisfied with their service!

Great clinic dedicated to cats. Not too stressful for our feline girl. Hanna is a wonderful vet! The receptionists are professional and care about the patients. Most recommended.

Really friendly, lovely staff. We booked for our first visit with our little kitten and the receptionist was kind and calm over the phone. When I was worried about him and wanted to move the appt up, they got us in so quickly and were so nice on the phone. It felt very calm in the waiting area, so lovely that it is cats only as well. The vet we saw was so informative, addressing any questions we had before we even needed to ask them. She was great with our little Merlin, and made his first experience to the vet as pleasant and positive as possible. We felt really safe and well informed throughout, this is our first kitten, we’re somewhat anxious first time furbaby parents and so we couldn’t be happier to have found such a trustworthy and supportive vet for him to go to. Thank you so much 🙌🏼

If you're a cat only owner and your puss requires stress free services of a vet, then PLEASE sign up and make him or her a future patient at The Cat Clinic in Albert Road Southsea. You and your cat will not regret it. There are no dogs taken in here for the cat to concern themselves about, and the welcome is just lovely by Helen the receptionist to put you and your patient at your ease. She also fully explained the simple and inexpensive financial benefits I could utilise for our pet's good health and treatment for the long term that excellent and may be paid in monthly instalments to give us all peace of mind should urgent treatment etc; be required. I cannot recommend this lovely veterinarian establishment enough. Just try it!

I would only ever take my babies to see Cameron at the cat clinic. From regular check ups to me probably being overly worried when they seem unwell-cameron is always so lovely and never makes us feel we are wasting his time. He has a very Conservative approach and never prescribes anything or sends for testing unless necessary. Unfortunately alot of vets are only interested in money. I never feel this is the case here. The ladies on reception are also incredible with their care, when one of my angels seemed very unwell last year Helen even called Cameron at home for some advice and sent us to the emergency vets, vets now in Portsmouth who were also very good. We've had numerous calls back and forth in the past. I get the impression everyone there loves their kitty customers and it's more than just a job to them. Cameron has a wealth of knowledge and he best never leave!! My two have had their injections, some medicines administered, and teeth cleaning. One had some minor surgery. They have been under anaesthetic and was taken care of by the lovely nurses, who I'm sure do alot behind the scenes! The costs at the cat clinic I would say are very fair. We do have insurance but have never needed to claim. If you have a cat rest assured they will be taken care of here! Sian&James
