Good clinics for kittens
hi everyone.
I live in Sunset Park. I dont want to travel TOO far, but I need a good clinic for getting my cat checked out and given shots.
I searched through the pet forums for vets and I KNOW to avoid:
5th avenue cat clinic
Park Slope Animal clinic
But there seems to be conflicting views on Animal Kind, Prospect park vet Clinic and Hope Vet.
The thing is what about shots for kittens and initial care?
I bought a Siamese, who has had her initial shots, but she will need a booster for FVRP. I was told by the breeder to be wary of vets that want to give my cat all its shots immediately, since my cat is so young it may die as a result of getting all the vaccines so soon. She told me it may actually be better to avoid Rabies shots since its unnecessary and many cats find it hard to take the rabies shot. She is waaaay to young to be neutered. She is 2 1/2 months old.
Where do you guys go for excellent cat care. Cost is not really a consideration so much as CARE IS
Park Slope, Bay Ridge, Gowanus, Greenwood Heights, Downtown Brooklyn are areas I am considering

For routine vet care, I would highly recommend Prospect Park Animal Clinic on Prospect Park West. We bring all of our animals to them (cats and dogs) and have been very satisfied. Dr. Quim and Dr. Holloway, in particular, are very compassionate. Good luck with your new baby!

I take my dog to Prospect Park Animal Clinic and have dealt with all three vets and really like them. They have actually suggested skipping certain vaccinations that other vets may insist on, and given me advice on why they felt that way so that I could make the decision.
I'm guessing they would be happy to work with you on a shot schedule. Just remember vets will generally (and I think this is safe) require a check-up each time they give shots, so be prepared for those extra costs.
You could always contact them before going in to see what they say.

Just wanted to give another rec for Prospect Park Animal Clinic, specifically Dr. Halloway - super nice, I feel confident in her abilities.
Howdy, Stranger!
