They just made us waste our time getting an international travel certificate. Waiting 2 days for nothing. Now we don't know what will happen with our cat.
Awesome
Great place to take your cat. Everyone working here is nice and very helpful. The doctors really know what they're doing. They've helped me diagnose and manage my cat's lymphoma. The previous vet I went to simply recommended I not seek and diagnosis, and let nature take its course. Glad I got a second opinion! I'm going to cherish all the time I have left with my little guy.
Lovely staff! Super patient and knowledgeable. I had a million questions and concerns about finances, and they answered them all. Also, I have a particularly ill-behaved and scary cat (like, metal gloves and tranquilizer "bad"), but Dr. Sevalla was incredibly patient and kind to her, and me too! They genuinely like kitties here, which is such a nice change from other vets I've visited. My super anxious girl with stomach problems was on the mend in no time!
Always excellent, first rate care.
Had a scheduled well-visit for my two new kittens. Got there and waited 20min. Then I ask what was the delay and the receptionist told me sorry but you actually don't have an appt and we can't see you till next week. Totally totally unprofessional, totally lame. Very bad service. Go somewhere else with your cats.
STAFF VERY helpful
My cat Melina had seen Dr. Plotnick and Dr. Sheheri for 14 years since I moved here from Florida. They knew Melina as well as I did, including her personality 'quirks' such as hissing, attempting to bite, and growling. She was feisty right until the end, and Dr's Plotnick, Sheheri and staff were always so kind and patient with her. She succumbed to lymphoma on January 3, 2017 at 17 years 10 months of age. I did not even inform Manhattan Cats because I assume they would not really care, given how many patients they have. However, without even telling them, I received a condolences card signed by each member of the staff! And just yesterday I got a notice that Dr. Plotnick made a donation to the Winn Feline Foundation in Melina's honor. It made me very emotional and overwhelmed with appreciation. They showed me how important Melina wasto them. This practice has treated me with such kindness, care and thoughtfulness. Someday when Melina sends me another fur baby to look after, I will be coming to Dr.'s Plotnick and Sheheri as she would have wanted. Thank you Manhattan Cats.
Caring vets that provide optimal medical care. Dr. Plotnick recently retired, but Dr. Hansen has been a great addition to the clinic. She truly goes above and beyond to provide the best care for your cat.
I’ve been using Manhattan Cat Specialists for several years now. I continue to be impressed with their service and treatment of my cats. I always leave feeling assured my cats received the best care and learning something new. Highest recommendation.
Thanks for caring for Kitty Baby.
I’ve been coming here for years with both of my 15 year old cats. They now both have lymphoma; I’m amazed and so pleased how well they’re doing. I’m so grateful to Dr Victoria Sheheri and the wonderful staff. They’re all so very kind.
I have never written an online review before, but felt compelled to express how great I feel that I finally found wonderful vet. Before I met Dr. Arnold Plotnick I had taken my kitten to three other vets, none of whom could identify his condition and was powerless to help. Big thank you to Dr. Plotnick who correctly diagnosed my kitten's rare disease. He did correct tests and had researched the symptoms before prescribe treatment, something I realized no other vet had done. Dr. Plotnick is very gentle, attentive to every detail and before starting any treatment always takes the time to explain what the problem was and how his treatment should work. He treats every cat as if it were his own loved cat. Dr. Plotnick admires the depth of his knowledge in the field of cat health care. The reception staff have always been polite and professional also, often under very busy conditions. Wonderful experience! Would highly recommend this vet office.
I will not be returning to this vet ever again. Very rude and intense. I’ve had cats all my life and been to vets that were kind and professional. I really believe that Manhattan Cat Specialist only cares about the bill. I left my card on file and they have made multiple unauthorized charges after they called and I strictly said no.
Good people, though there can be quite a wait sometimes
Dr Painter is so kind and knowledgeable. Guided me through my cats illness and ultimate death with warmth and professionalism.
Everyone is so helpful and nice. Would highly recommend MCS. They truly love my cat and my cat sorta puts up with them.
The staff here clearly have a great love for cats, which goes a long way in helping me feel comfortable leaving my pets in their care.
This doctor overdosed and caused the death of my cat. He lied about her condition and made her suffer with needless abusive procedures I never authorized while in his care. It is unethical for him to know a sick/senior cat is dying and not suggest to euthanize the animal but instead suggest treatment which he profits from while your cat suffers and painfully dies. In my opinion he could care less about cats and is just out to make money.
My two furbabies goes here. I trust them with my furbabies. It's been 3 years now.
Best cat specialists.
We’ve been coming here for years. They really know cats and are so gentle with them.
Great resource for cat lovers!
An absolutely wonderful place with a kind, highly skilled, and dedicated staff. And the cherry on top- they all have cats themselves!
Dr. Sheheri has cared for both of my cats. One passed a year ago and one is 2 yrs old with a world of issues and she's caught/ diagnosed all of them! I wouldn't see anyone else for my Sonny.
Dr Sheheri is amazing and very knowledgeable
Please do not waste your time and money going to this place. They are very unethical and only care about racking up the bill. I came in today because my kitten was having diarrhea. Instead of doing a stool sample the veterinarian came in and give my kitten a rabies shot and took her blood work before going over it with me first. It took 4 assistants to get the shot and they handled my kitten so rough. It was heartbreaking seeing how rough they handled my kitten. It was beyond unprofessional. The veterinarian finally returned to my concern about my kitten’s diarrhea ( the only reason I came to the vet) and told me I just needed to feed her chicken instead of fish. If you want your pet to be handled with care please do not go to Manhattan Cat Specialists.
I think the Vet Tech who is an Asian Woman is so curt and rude. I work in the healthcare field and would never have an employee who lacks in patient communication skills. She is difficult and honestly seems to be an unkind person. She should not be working in any health care field! I have been a client with Manhattan Cat Specialist for 15 years. I realise that they are a corporation now. They used to have a fabulous staff. I refuse to be treated by such an authoritative, and mean Woman. My Mother calling and getting the same response today was the last straw! I come here with the hope to trust people with my animals not to feel uncomfortable and talked down to and unable to speak freely in regards to my pets. I am through with this place. There is another Cat only Vet group in Manhattan. I will go there. They have lost me and considering that one of my pets is ill they sure lost alot of money too! It's too bad because the Vet is actually a gem. Too bad that one has to deal with the Vet tech more often than tbe vet herself.
very knowledgeable about the feline species however I feel like they tried to get me to do lots of tests that were not necessary.
This is a very caring place for your pet felines. The staff and vets are very knowledgeable and pets are treated with care. They are a little pricey but it is all worth it for your loved ones.
Best cat vet!
Very dedicated practice from front desk to veterinarians. Truly concerned about the well being of your cat.
Staff are cat lovers who will treat your pet kindly.
Quite professional and caring.
I very, very rarely write reviews but Dr Plotnick is like the cat whisperer. If you have any issue with your feline companion you can be assured of the best care. My two cats often get very stressed when being seen by a vet - put them in the hands of Dr Plotnick and all the anxiety disappears immediately. Other vets have had to hold them down to take blood or administer medication as they fight and snarl (and my cats are very, very placid!), but in the company of this jedi cat master they would not only go immediately into the calm zone, but afterwards they would tidy up the consultation room and give the Dr a foot massage!
They do good work, explained everything and my cat loves them!
Dr. Painter is so sweet and caring. I've never had a vet who was so kind and patient. And Gill, the vet tech/nurse is SUPER AWESOME! He is the sweetest, most awesome, caring cat dude ever! Gill and Dr. Painter make me feel like they love my cats as much as I do! With all my rescued cats, I've been to A LOT of vets in NYC and seen a lot of techs. Gill is the best tech, with over 15 years of experience and an inspiration to anyone who rescues and loves cats.
