"We are very grateful and thankful for having Kathy and her staff in caring for our kitty, Simon. They have taken the best care possible for him for the past 13 years. Kathy had always been our vet for all of our childhood pets as well and I should have known better than to not go to her first. When we rescued Simon 13 years ago from my office parking lot, all seemed well when we decided to take him to a local well known animal hospital 5 minutes away from us. They said"you have a healthy and happy 6 week old kitten". Fast forward through some health issues that were not normal, but they indicated its normal...I called Kathy for a second opinion. She pretty much knew what was wrong with just my explanations. Tests completed and confirmed...Simon had a portosystemic liver shunt. Liver shunts will not correct themselves, very expensive in going through with the surgery and very rarely end up with cat mom and dad's doing the surgery. We did the surgery! Kathy set us up with UPenn and all of their testing for surgery found him also having heart disease. The surgery was successful, but unfortunately it left him blind. Simon takes medicine twice a day; eats prescribed LD food; enjoys very minimal low protein treats and he is quite the spoiled kitty with us. He's very happy and thinks he is a person like us. We wouldn't have it any other way."
