Reviews of NOVA Cat Clinic

Cindy

Great people, Great prices, Great care. I'll be coming back! I've had my cat Rosie for almost 6 years and historically the vet has terrified her. She usually self-isolates for about 12 hours once we get home after an appointment. Not today! Dr. Torres was very kind and efficient with Rosie's examination and patiently answered all of my questions. I think the lack of dogs barking also helped Rosie stay calm. She's back to walking on my keyboard and being a nuisance immediately after our appointment instead of hiding for the day. :) Thank you Nova Cat Clinic!

Hannah Saunders

I had a wonderful experience as a cat mom new patient, and I think Jack did as well. Dr. Bazemore was thoughtful, patient, and thoroughly explained how the check up went and medication options. She was also responsive via email after the visit. A clinic dedicated just to our feline babies is totally worth it- so quiet, peaceful, and you know everyone loves cats!

Robyn G

I love NOVA cat clinic, the staff is wonderful. The service is great; the doctors and techs explain everything, and Sigmund is treated well. He dislikes all strangers, so he probably doesn’t notice a difference from other vets, but I do!

Lindsey S. O'Keefe

I LOVED bringing my cats to the NOVA Cat Clinic! I think it is an amazing facility just for our feline friends. The staff was incredibly friendly and the vet I saw had the most wonderful bedside manner and patience. I will definitely be bringing the kitties back to this amazing place, just wish I had gone to them sooner!

Anna McMullen

After a negative experience at another local cat clinic, NOVA Cat Clinic was a breath of fresh air. My cat was relaxed from the moment we walked in because of the atmosphere the clinic creates. Both the tech and Dr. Torres were phenomenal and I trust that they are helping me get my former stray on the path to good health!

Amy Coxon

This place is an awesome animal clinic for cats only. They are SO cat friendly and the rooms even have little places for the cats to hide. My cat was not at all stressed and was able to explore and just become comfortable before his exam and vaccines. And Dr. Brown is so friendly, answers questions, and genuinely wants to help people and their cats.

Jennifer Horan

We absolutely love the staff, vet techs and vets at NOVA Cat Clinic Arlington, and credit thier support and help in keeping our oldest kitty alive after he had some bad health issues Fall 2021. 18 years old and still thriving! Kind, personable and professional services. Going to a cats only vet has changed everything for my kitties. Advanced knowledge of cat care and support needs, and of course, no barking! - instructed my human to type this Puppy

Chris Parris

I saw this place biking by one day, and thought it was cool. Then I found myself with a rescue cat (the homie Shrimp) and was like, “well I guess I’ll take him to that place I saw.” And what a great decision! Everyone here is super friendly (and also loves my little shrimp) and made it really easy to be a new pet owner. Every doc I’ve met is super kind and so clearly a cat lover! I love coming here and shrimp is getting used to it too. If you have a cat, this is the place to take them!

Jess Behera

They have changed a lot since COVID. You can’t go in with your pet so they sometimes forget the questions that you have about your cat. They don’t allow for emergency pet appointments so they leave you stranded when you have a pet emergency. You would think that a place dedicated to cats would take care of your pet when they’re in need but this place is more “assembly line” than true care for your pets. We moved to a new area and the contrast is even more apparent because we found a family vet (husband and wife team) who go out of their way to support your pet, let you attend in the room with your pet, and can find an appointment when there is an urgent need. I don’t recommend this place at all.

Grateful! Going to the vet is stressful for all of us, but today, after their first visit to Nova Cat Clinic, both kitties are out & about & relatively normal. Usually it takes the cats a few hours to a few days hiding under the bed to bounce back after seeing the vet, so I think being able to roam around the exam room helped them relax. I felt listened to & helped by everyone on staff that I interacted with, and I think Nova has really good, reasonable COVID protocols in place. I am so grateful & relieved to find a great vet clinic in our new location! Thank you, Dr. Bazemore!

Kristopher Hough

They have a great focus on cats. There are no other types of animals to cause your cat stress in the office. The team is extremely health conscious, so they provide curb side service until you are ready to go back to an exam room. As soon as we got back to the exam room I was able to let my cat out of his carrier to explore the room before anyone came in. I think all of this combined to make this the least stressful vet visit any of my pets have ever had. Dr. Torres was also extremely helpful and alleviated all of the concerns I had about my cat's health.

Sveta N-Kim

Had our first visit yesterday, and we were very pleased. Super helpful and kind staff, very competent doctor who had a lot of patience with my kitty, and was available for answering any questions I had. They are also very responsive to emails and phone calls, and have a good communication system in place. It's not cheap, but worth it for my fur babies.

stefanie jarrell

I am always pleased with the care and attention that is given to me and my kitties at NovaCat. Every vet I've worked with listens to me and addresses my concerns. I never feel rushed and I am never left to wait for my appointment. I'm just sorry I didn't start using NovaCats years ago. They really are the best

David Freccia

Great experience for me and the kittens. Well organized, punctual, caring, and provided all the information needed. This is the second time our cats have been there, and we plan to continue for many years to come.

Mike Robinson

I've been with NOVA Cat Clinic since 2008, when I moved to Arlington, from Arizona. I bought both of my babies, TC and Brittany, and received nothing but excellent care from them. I lost TC in 2012 and Brittany in 2022, but now I bring my new babies, Oscar and Albus, to them even though I now live in Alexandria and another cat clinic is close by. The love and care we get from NOVA Cat Clinic is second to none!

David Rubio

My wife and I have been utilizing your services for our pet care needs since we have owned our pet Shadow. No complaints on that regard. Your clinic and your staff have always treated us and Shadow with kindness and respect. We are truly thankful for finding a pet clinic as nice as yours. This review is in regards to the recent rabies and Fluorescent Antibody Virus Neutralization (FAVN) test sample your office provided and submitted in preparations for our upcoming overseas travel. According to the Japanese Pet import requirements, two rabies shots are required within a year apart before the FAVN blood is drawn and sent for testing. Your office failed to identify that Shadow needed a second Rabies Booster and only administered one and proceeded to send the blood to Kansas City University for the FAVN. This may have been a fault on our part due this past year's COVID restrictions; however, your office failed to properly check Shadow's records. As we prepared to transport Shadow to California to ease his stress for the duration of our entire travel, we took him to the Camp Pendleton Veterinary Clinic (clinic that will be preparing the final Health Certificate before official travel) to make sure all preparations were conducted properly. The Camp Pendleton Vet Clinic notified us that he will need to receive another Rabies booster and re-submit the blood for the FAVN. Which also includes the additional fee and this again re-starts the 180-day quarantine. This all could have been avoided if your office would have conducted the proper steps for overseas travel. I am submitting this complaint in order to prevent this from happening to other families traveling overseas, military or civilian. Please know and understand all pet import and export travel requirements. With kind regards, but frustrated customer.

Aaron Brown

The vet and vet techs all seemed competent and kind. They advised on treatment plans with both efficacy and budget in mind. I will absolutely continue using them for vet services

J Renee

Love these guys. I always feel heard about any concerns w my cat. They really do care and go above and beyond to create a good environment for them. Will always recommend this place. You won't regret it.

CP JD

NOVA Cat Clinic is always kind, friendly, and patient with both clients and patients. My kitty is always treated well by staff and the examinations are thorough and professional. Lovely and I both appreciate all that they do.

Michael Kujawa

I've moved a ton recently, and had Mary vets as a result. NOVA is hands down the best I've come across. All of the staff are incredibly friendly, from reception to assistants to the vet themselves. They actually care about your cat here with genuine interest and concern, you aren't just a number with a dollar sign. They go the extra step here, and truly it shows. Any vet visit is going to incur costs, there's no way around it. The pricing is fair and not unreasonable, both check ups and surgery. I would recommend NOVA to everyone, I moved to Maryland now and specifically drive down to them for my veterinary needs. That's something I can't say of anywhere else I've been.

Lizz Davis

Nova Cat Clinic is the best experience at a vet both my cat and I have ever had! My cat, Hobbit, gets very stressed when she goes to the vet and normally we won’t be seen or she has to get a shot so they wrap her in a towel and send us home... At Nova Cat Clinic they were so patient with her and let her kind of do things when she was ready.. It was the first time we were in a lobby and she wasn’t loudly meowing/crying. Nova Cat Clinic is now m #1 place to go and will be my #1 place to recommend!!!! Thank you Nova Cat Clinic for helping Hobbit and I! We greatly appreciate it!!!!!

Esley S

I (still) love this vet! They take such good care of my cat and I appreciate how knowledgeable they are. Just really lovely people who love their work! 100% worth the trek from DC to get there.

Keshav Rangan

Truly an amazing staff and care. Every person who works for NOVA Cat Clinic is caring and compassionate, genuinely wanting the best for their clients and pets. I brought my newly adopted cat here for treatment and despite being diagnosed with a terminal illness, the doctors and staff gave my cat and me the most compassionate care i could have hoped for.

Aishlin Fourie

Dr. Brown is the best vet I’ve ever met. One of my cats is diabetic so we’ve had a lot of vet appointments over the past few years and a few close calls that have left me wary of veterinary practices. I just moved to the area and our first appointment with Dr. Brown was such a wonderful experience. He was so kind and gentle towards my cats. He was a true partner, actively listening to my concerns and taking me seriously. I am so grateful to have found such amazing care.

Tegan Biun

NOVA Cat Clinic is one of the best veterinary practices I have ever taken my pets to. Their compassion, concern, consideration, and communication are unparalleled. They have access to the latest technology and cutting-edge treatments, but also utilize Eastern medicine and believe strongly in comprehensive preventative wellness care. They handle their feline patients with empathy and gentleness and treat owners with kindness, honesty, and respect. My cats have seen all the doctors at the Arlington practice and Dr. Barron has been of particular assistance. I absolutely recommend NOVA Cat Clinic to all my kitty caregiver companions.

Diane Millar

The vets at Nova Cat Clinic and staff are great. I took in my 5 month old kitten and they did a full work up - diagnosed her - and recommended an appropriate place for follow up. The vets were kind and caring and knowledgeable- they all took time to talk to me and explain what was wrong. Both kitty and I were very happy with the service we received. Highly recommended!

Michaela schrum

I will never go to another vet for my cat. Ever. Dr. Brown treats my kitty better than most humans are treated at their doctors offices, and really respects and loves her. My cat used to hate going to the vet but ever since Dr. Brown has treated her, she loves going to the vet, and is so happy afterwards! Staff is wonderful, prices are reasonable and on each invoice there is a line for “tender love and care- $0.00”. Do yourselves a favor and trust this clinic, you won’t regret it!

sonja pace-james

My cat Billy and I had our first visit to NOVA Cat Clinic a few days ago. The staff was extremely welcoming and attentive and the vet we saw, Dr. Barron, was so calm and nice and explained everything to us. Billy seemed very calm as well. We'll definitely be back in future.

Richard Shullaw

Our visiting cat, Sylvia (belonging to my daughter and her family from) came down with a UTI. We were quickly able to make an appointment. Sylvia has had these infections before so we knew what her treatment should be, and NOVA Cat Clinic had her records from Washington State. The doctor was thorough, explained options clearly. Sylvia responded well and was back to her usual self later the same day. I highly recommend NOVA Cat Clinic for their professional, compassionate caring!

Anne

I am very happy with my experience at NOVA. I have taken my cat to 2 other vets in the area, and I wasn't impressed with them. The Vet at NOVA called me and talked through her concerns, and also they send a report card explaining everything. They brought up health issues no other vet has mentioned to me. My cat is now 12, so she is needing more specialized treatment, and I know they will be able to give her that.

Jennifer Lundy

They were able to fit me in that day for my sick kitty, and were so sweet when I arrived. The care they showed for both me and Peachbutt was top-notch and eased my anxiety about his ear infection. They provided a care plan with clear instructions and next steps, and took great care of both of us throughout the process. Thank you for taking care of my bestest boy.

Bianca Benedi

They have been able to tackle a complicated health issue that my previous vets (who were excellent overall) could no longer handle. I like how easy it is to schedule an appointment and how helpful they are with refilling medication. Good experience!

Patricia Gross

Am so very grateful to NOVA Cat Clinic. The vets and entire staff are wonderful people who care for the cats as much as the families do. Couldn't ask for a better place.

Gabriele Belle

I was very worried when I dropped Snowy off for his I-131 treatment but he is doing great thanks to the wonderful care he has so far received. Dr. Brown and his staff are wonderful people with compassion and love for cats.

Suzy Oo

I have been coming to NOVA Cat for 15 years when it was called Capitol Cat Clinic. The vets are great and I'm only giving it 4 stars because I always have to wait so long to bring my kitties in. I really can't wait a few days to a week when they are sick today. They don't even try to fit you in. What's the point of having a regular vet if you're just constantly referred to go to urgent care when your cat is sick? I do like them a lot but due to availability of appointments I have been force to see other vets. Check out my reviews of those local vets.

Eimile Eskridge

NOVA Cat Clinic was great about fitting our new cat into their schedule. They were attentive and offered support with curbside visits. We will continue to use their services going forward.

Phoebe McClincy

I had a great experience with NOVA Cat Clinic! Dr. Valentino was fantastic, walked us through everything that she was doing and her findings, and did not push us to make any decisions while still advising what she thought was best. Every staff member I dealt with was friendly and understanding and treated our little lady with the utmost care. Thank you all!

Jennifer Lee

This is the best clinic for cats I've ever been to .I had a cat that had an extreme situation( he's now gone on and crossed rainbow bridge ),Dr Marcus Brown was wonderful and the whole staff was great .I love Ellen the vet tech there. They all love the cats and the cats are just absolutely very well behaved. My cat who is a big whiner was perfectly calm there.

Brittany L

I've been taking my kitties here since 2004 and I'll never go anywhere else. Every single staff member, from the doctors to the office staff, have always been exceptional. Extremely attentive, responsive, and compassionate. They have my full trust, and I'm so grateful to them.

Kelsey Reed

We've been taking our cats here for four years, two old ladies and two brand new (at one point) kittens, and we've had a wonderful experience every appointment. We had two emergencies (two different cats) and both times we were able to get an appointment swiftly and the expertise of the doctors and techs is evident and, just as important, their care for each kitty is comforting as an owner. I am never concerned about how my cats are treated here! We also had to make the difficult decision to say good-bye to one of our cats and the entire time everyone was so gentle and calm and helped us through that process. I am so grateful we were there! The front desk people are lovely and provide excellent customer service. If you have a cat (or two, or three) this is the best clinic in the area!

HR Bassman

We've been bringing our cats to Nova Cat Clinic for as long as we've lived in Arlington and been cat owners. This is absolutely the best feline-focused vet we've used. Staff are courteous, really knowledgeable, and super helpful.

Jan Reilly

Nicole at the NOVA cat clinic expertly walked me thru the process to get an EU pet health certificate so that I could bring my cat with me on our next overseas move. She was responsive and extremely helpful. I completely recommend NOVA cat clinic!

Megan Borak

Dr. Valentino was very informative and super helpful with my sometimes grumpy older male cat! She called him “the perfect gentleman”, and although we love him very much, we don’t call him that at home 😹. **update!** I took my sometimes grumpy older male cat back to have some dental work done and Dr. Bazemore did an amazing job. Not only did she safely complete all the treatment necessary that day (which was pretty extensive), she talked to me at length afterwards/ answered all my questions, and sent me an email very after hours with biopsy results I had been nervously anticipating. You can tell she is competent, compassionate, and enjoys what she does. I’m very thankful for all the docs and staff at this clinic!

PK Ku

Dr. Brown is such a wonderful and genuine with my cat Mojo and me. I trust Nova Cat Clinic with my cat, highly recommended all feline’s parent to visit Dr Brown office.

Erika Wirebaugh

NOVA is truly second to none. We have been visiting the clinic for about a year and a half, and I’ve been quite happy with the maintenance care my two cats have received. Recently, I had an early morning emergency with one of my babies. After visiting the emergency vet for stabilization, NOVA was able to fit us in to care for him. They were so accommodating and professional. It put me at ease to have him with the people I trust at NOVA. Thankfully, my buddy is on the mend. I highly recommend NOVA if you’re looking for a vet for your feline friends!

James Harmon (Slow_Vdub)

As a new kitten owner I want nothing but the best for him. I read reviews of places for a week before deciding on NOVA Cat Clinic for my kittens needs. Dr. Torres took great care of Broccoli and we look forward to their continuing care.

Cat Adams

NOVA Cat Clinic is the absolute best and I am so appreciative of how helpful and kind everyone is! The front desk staff, assistants, and doctors are all phenomenal and have taken such good care of my kittens, sometimes on very short notice. I am a first time cat owner, so I usually have lots of questions and they have always been extremely patient and explained things to me thoroughly. I wouldn't dream of taking my cats anywhere else!

Sarah Strunk

I recently took my newly adopted cat to get a checkup and the NOVA Cat Clinic staff were beyond wonderful! They answered all my questions and their COVID-19 protocol was easy to understand. They really care about making the appointment as stress-free for the cat as possible and did an amazing job communicating with me during and after the appointment. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a vet!

Elizabeth Ashley

NOVA Cat Clinic is wonderful! All of the staff are friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. They're gentle and careful when interacting with patients even when said patients aren't always cooperative. I also love the fact that the clinic is quiet and calm to help their patients feel less anxiety at the vet. It is well worth the 30 minute drive to Arlington for superior care for my fur babies!

Carolina Chu

THE BEST CAT CLINIC EVER. I took my kitty here after our general vet noticed something potentially amiss and I could not have found a better place. Dr. Bazemore is an EXCEPTIONAL doctor and she took so much time to answer ALL of my questions. She explained everything to me in detail, provided so much support during our visits, and always kept me up to date with all test and lab results. The front desk team is also incredibly helpful and understanding of all my concerns and worked to get my cat seen ASAP. I cannot express how grateful I am that my cat was under the care of NOVA Cat Clinic and recommend anyone with cats to come to this practice!

Cynthia Sitcov

We get outstanding care for our cat at Nova Cat Clinic Our 14 years old kitty has a couple of chronic medical issues and she gets treated with respect and love at Nova. All of our interactions with the staff and the vets first rate; the folks who work there absolutely love cats and it shows. I highly recommended them to anyone looking for exceptional service!

Denise Brown

My kitties (present and past) have been Nova Cat Clinic patients for well over 20 years. Since Nova CC serves only felines, my cats have a greater level of comfort than at vets which serve all animals. All the doctors we’ve seen are caring cat lovers. They truly understand and like cats which translates into excellent care and treatment. The waiting area and exam rooms are quite cat-centric - another plus. I highly recommend the Nova Cat Clinic. 😺

Jenny Mattingley

I have been taking my cats to NOVA Cat Clinic for over 15 years. The vets and whole team are helpful, provide amazing care, and I highly recommend them! Even for end of life care for my cats, they are empathetic, don't push treatments that are unnecessary, and check in frequently to see how the cat is doing. From kitten through the whole life of the cat, I wouldn't go anywhere else for vet care.

Miguet Schwab

I just can't get over or make clear enough how great the team at NOVA Cat Clinic is. I've taken my cats here since their very first vet check up and it has always been a pleasant, safe, and fulfilling experience. They take great strides to create a calming environment for their patients and their attention to detail is incredible. I had recently taken my cat to a 24 hour emergency clinic for problems swallowing, and within minutes they were talking about shots, expensive procedures, and surgeries. I opted to wait (she was not in immediate danger) until Monday to take her to her doctor at Nova Cat Clinic instead, and within minutes of seeing her they had been able to spot the problem, generated a much more conservative and less-invasive treatment plan, and had us feeling comfortable enough to leave her with them for a while. Less than two hours after leaving her there the team had managed to resolve her problem (swallowed something sharp, I love that cat but she's not the smartest) in the least invasive manner possible and outlined a further treatment plan for her on the spot. I pick her up later today, but I already feel confident and secure knowing she's been taken care of by the wonderful people at this clinic. The only reason I wouldn't recommend this place is because I don't want to fight you for appointments! But that said, I've never had trouble finding a time that works for me. They do great work here, it is the best veterinary office I've ever had the pleasure (or displeasure) of visiting. Don't forget to greet the office cat (but don't pet!) when you stop by!

Emily Reid Campbell

Dr. Barron and the others at NOVA are incredibly kind and thorough in their care. Our two 15 year old cats are far more comfortable in their extremely feline friendly—and dog-free—office than they have ever been at previous veterinary practices. They are very knowledgeable and explain everything clearly and honestly, without ever seeming pushy or focused on selling overly expensive and largely unnecessary extra services. Standard services are certainly not cheap, but they’re within range of similar places here. And the quality of care is above and beyond.

Ashley Boltrushek

Great team at NOVA Cat Clinic. Dr. Bazemore is our vet and is amazing; our time with her is thorough, informative, and clear and her care for my cats is top notch. I can't recommend their team more highly and appreciate the attention they've paid to COVID-19 and the precautions they're taking for themselves and their clients.

Brittney Fells

I switched to NOVA Cat Clinic after a less than great experience at a previous vet. I was really impressed by the atmosphere and the service at NOVA Cat Clinic. The lobby was clean and calming and the staff was cheerful as well. Dr. Heath was great. She was patient with my many questions, and explained her findings clearly. They even sent the after appointment "report card" the same day. I can't say enough good things about this clinic!

Katie Harbath

My cat wasn't feeling well and I needed to find a place to take her that day. She also is very difficult and other vets have refused to see her because of that. NOVA Cat Clinic came through for me and Frankie. They were able to see her that day, they sedated her with care and made sure I was kept informed every step of the way. I wish I had started taking Frankie to them sooner.

Fred Mayes

If I rated NOVA on care of felines, it would get 5 stars. Not only does NOVA provide excellent veterinary cat care, but the vets go way beyond normal communication with clients. NOVA's only shortcoming is scheduling appointments and providing them with forms required prior to an appointment. NOVA has improved greatly in this area since the start of 2021, but making an appointment is still not smooth. I still believe that clients have too many factors to consider for a vet clinic to schedule appointments strictly online. You can make appointments with NOVA over the phone, but it is not a smooth process, either. Online, you request a date and general time for an appointment. But you don't know whether you have secured that slot until you get an e-mail confirmation. If you didn't get the slot you requested and the confirmed slot doesn't work, then you have to go through another process to change the scheduled date/time. But a greater problem is completing and submitting the forms required prior to a visit. NOVA requires an electronic signature, which is awkward for people who are not accustomed to how this process works. The greatest frustration, however, is that this process provides the client no confirmation that the form was received. Subsequently, we receive notices that we have not submitted the requested forms. When we have contacted the office staff, sometimes they have received them. Other times, the office staff says that "the system" sends out these requests even if the forms were received. This is NOT a fault of the office staff, but it IS a fault that the owners of NOVA need to correct.

Hager Koraym

Excellent clinical care! Dr. Bazemore was so kind in answering all my questions and letting me know which services were necessary vs which services were optional for my kitten. She was very informative, knowledgeable, and so helpful. I did not feel pushed into any services and even elected to have all services done anyway. Even the staff were wonderful and friendly! I scheduled my first visit within 2 weeks of calling, which was so convenient for me!! Thank you so much!

Mike Coddington

Been coming here for 10 years now to keep consistent care for our cats but we are done. Can't get emails or calls returned without multiple attempts. Prices are super high. Tests are pushed without explanation. Just waited for an hour and a half in the parking lot with a very unhappy cat for an appointment. That's not how appointments work. I have no idea why they would run things this way on purpose, which they confirmed is standard.

Diane Hodges

I took my 15-year-old cat in for a checkup; the staff at NOVA Cat clinic quickly pinpointed the problem -- she has kidney disease. They were very thorough in explaining what is wrong and what needed to be done, and my cat perked up immediately after we began the treatment they recommended. She feels much better and is much happier.

Johnny Ramey

I've been taking my cats to NOVA Cat Clinic since I moved a few years ago. Their service is very good and they take my cats' health seriously. They have an effective and responsive online platform, iPhone app, and staff. Each one of their vets will follow up through email with any questions or concerns I have, and they have been excellent about providing service in the middle of the pandemic. The only downside is that their services are expensive. My most recent visit was an annual check-up for my two cats. The bill included blood work, fecal sample analysis, a vaccine for one of my cats, and the general exams and the bill was $624. Regardless, the service is very good and we're happy to know that our cats are healthy.

Clara Martin

We brought our new kitten to NOVA cat clinic in Arlington recently. We were nervous about sending our little guy in without going in with him due to COVID, but the staff were so kind and helpful! The visit went by very quickly and we still felt connected to the doctor and Theo had a great experience overall. Highly recommend!

Mark Meinke

They did a great job treating our 13 y.o. cat's thyroid disease with rafioactive iodine. Nano is happy to be home but had no complaints about the clinic.

Mary Dawley

Because my asthmatic cat, Sunshine, was not doing well with her current treatment, I was encouraged to take her to a cat-only clinic. I filled out NOVA Cat Clinic’s online forms and forwarded Sunshine's medical records. After reading the submitted info, the clinic staff called to see if I could bring Sunshine in earlier than planned so that they would have longer to work with her. Because of the pandemic, Sunshine attended her first visit at NOVA Cat Clinic without me. I stayed in the car and received multiple phone calls from the clinic staff during Sunshine’s 1.5 hour visit. Dr. Bazemore explained the results of Sunshine’s exam, listened to my thoughts and concerns and explained what she hoped to learn from additional tests, which I agreed to have done. A six-page follow-up document with the results of the visit and the tests was sent a couple of days later along with a brief explanation of items of concern that will need to be monitored. I feel like the staff at NOVA Cat Care is genuinely concerned about Sunshine’s well-being, and I’m confident that emails and calls will be returned in a reasonable amount of time. So far, Sunshine is doing OK, but I know that could change at any time. At least now I feel like there is a team of professionals that really cares about my cat’s health and will work with me to make sure Sunshine has the best life possible.

Alexandra Davis

They did a great job when I brought my cat Izzy for a checkup. The appointment was quick and Izzy wasn’t distressed at all after the appointment. They even emailed a few days later to check up on Izzy. Overall, a great experience!

Jeff Kryger

These guys were awesome to work with! Great communication before hand and email follow up with more information and links about some of the topics we discussed. The appointment itself was also excellent. The support staff were friendly and helpful, the vet techs were great, and the vet was funny and laid back. Everyone was very candid and open with their recommendations and feedback, mot just pushing us into unnecessary treatments or products. They also seemed genuinely smitten with our new kitten. I feel very confident and comfortable that my cats long term care is in good hands. I would recommend this clinic to anyone with a cat.

Don Willcox

Really great cat clinic. Ive gone to 6 different cat/vet clinics over the years and NOVA Cat Clinic is certainly among the best. Good location, much better than average facility, friendly staff, good vets that know feline medicine and a rational approach to treatment for pets (as opposed to pushing for high $$$ procedures). Highly recommend.

AnnaBelle Lowe

Love this place! Everyone there was incredibly kind and helpful, I always felt like my girl was in good hands. Clinic is spotless and organized. It looked like they were moving through multiple patients efficiently, but I also felt like they were thorough during my appointment. All conversations with the doc were constructive and solution-based, never felt any shaming. Prices are reasonable and there was no push for expensive procedures. I grew up watching my parents work in a cat clinic and these guys checked all the right boxes. Really pleased to have found them!

RL Austin

NOVA Cat Clinic diagnosed, prescribed, and guided me in the weeks prior to my precious cat's end-of-life. The doctors and staff were kind, compassionate, and responsive and communicated w me even after-hours. After I buried MC, I received warm emails and hand-written cards from the practice for which I am grateful. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 …

Orri & Grace Ganel

NoVA cat clinic does a great job. We know they are the cat people, and really understand our cat's behaviors. They even mark "declined" and don't charge us when a procedure is too much for our cat and they aren't able to complete it successfully. They notice when something is hurting our cat and follow up appropriately.

Christine OConnor

I love NOVA Cat Clinic. All the doctors are great -- my cats have visited with all of them over the years. The staff is very knowledgeable, caring, personable, and trust-worthy. I recommend NOVA Cat Clinic to all my friends who have cats or are planning to adopt.

All of the staff I've encountered at NOVA Cat Clinic have been wonderful and patient with my cats. I have one cat who gets extremely scared at the vet, and they also do everything they can to make him comfortable and have the visit go smoothly. The facilities are very nice as well.

Ahmed Zuhairy

First visit with my two cats last week. Despite the difficult circumstances for everyone, they were courteous and professional. Over the phone the doctor did a great job of answering all of my questions and we are now taking their advice in a number of ways (our cats need to lose a little bit of weight). We look forward to NOVA taking care of our two cats in the future!

Madison White

After taking Angel to a few clinics in the Arlington area I decided to keep bringing her back to NOVA. I have no complaints from the other clinic but my cat is visibly more relaxed at NOVA Cat Clinic. All the staff are always very welcoming and helpful with any questions I have. Plus the cat artwork in all the examining rooms can't be beat.

Tori DeJarnette

I have had a wonderful experience with NOVA Cat Clinic. I had previously been to other Vets in the Northern Virginia area, but NOVA Cat Clinic is the right fit for my family's needs. We have two cats, one is a senior, the other is a kitten. My older cat is normally frightened when heading to the vet, but she seemed at ease in the office. We were seen very close to, if not exactly at, our appointment start time. The waiting area is professional, while still maintaining a home-like feel. The office staff are very nice. Dr. Barron treated our cats with respect and examined them thoroughly. I was listened to in regards to my pets' behaviors, and the doctor and vet assistants did not oversell on products. They had great suggestions for acclimating my cats to one another, as well as had their vet tech/pet dietitian help me work on my senior cat's weight gain since moving to grain free food (She is allergic to grain). This was provided at no extra cost. When I had a concern about my young kitten's health, I contacted NOVA cat clinic and got him in to an appointment. The doctor even communicated with me via email (although I was offered both by phone or email) to determine whether an appointment was necessary. When I came in, we discussed all the options, and Dr. Barron presented us with options. We chose to have a blood test done, which cost way less than expected considering the times I had felt robbed at other vets. I am glad we did the test, because my pet had a severe infection. I am confident with the care provided by NOVA Cat Clinic and would recommend them to any cat owner!

Kasya Mestnik

I always have a wonderful experience here, and having a cat only vet office has been life changing. Everyone at the clinic from the front desk to the vet techs to the veterinarians are so lovely. They treat your cat with the same love and care as they would their own pet.

Maria Buscemi

I love NOVA Cat Clinic. The staff and doctors are kind and thoughtful. Everyone is genuinely interested in the well-being of my cat. I once tried a different vet in Arlington but did not have nearly as good as an experience as I have each time I visit NOVA Cat Clinic and that is because the doctors at NOVA Cat Clinic spend more time trying figure out the problem. I perceive the NOVA Cat Clinic doctors as having greater expertise and knowledge in feline health issues. Also, they do not overcharge me for visits; I perceive the office visit pricing as fair and reasonable.

Mallory Scott

We love Nova Cat Clinic! We've taken our two cats since they were adopted and it's so wonderful to have a vet's office that only deal with cats. We don't have to worry about stressing them out even more with dogs and other animals around. Each vet that we've seen has been compassionate and experienced. I highly recommend them.

Kristi James

I've taken our kitties to NOVA Cat Clinic for 5 years and only stopped because of a recent move away from the D.C. area. Dr. Bazemore was very supportive and transparent as our Tilly received a terminal diagnosis last year and we made the difficult decision to put her down. Everyone at the office was compassionate and thoughtful - just what we needed during such a hard time. Highly recommend the staff and services at NOVA Cat Clinic and we'll miss not having them in our new home!

Jazmín González Moya

They make a great job at communicating, whether is about an appointment, special requests, follow ups about your pet’s health, even during the weekend. Their care and commitment to our pets wellness is outstanding and I’m very grateful to have a place like this where I feel confident they are taking good care of my beloved cat. All staff seems to genuinely care and enjoy their job.

Caroline Kenney

We have been going to Nova (formerly Capital) Cat Clinic for almost 20 years. They are friendly and caring and go the extra mile for our cats. The health care our cats have gotten has been excellent. I don't know what we will do if we ever get a dog!

Katy M.

We have been taking our cat to NOVA Cat Clinic for two years, and have had nothing but positive experiences. The doctors patiently address questions and concerns, and thoroughly explain their treatment recommendations. It is clear they truly care about providing the best possible service for the cats (and their humans!). The staff is also great at NOVA; friendly and helpful. We especially enjoy the resident clinic kitties who greet us upon arrival. I would recommend NOVA to anyone looking for a caring practice for their feline friend.

linda doman

I love NOVA Cat Clinic. The vets all are friendly and willing to spend the time you need to understand your cat's medical needs. I am so happy to be able to take my cat to a feline-only clinic. Also, I think it is great that they have clinic cats and rescue kittens, plus they are active and committed to the community too. I would highly recommend NOVA Cat Clinic to anyone looking for regular care for their cats.

Krista Smith

If you want to experience a family type of environment for you and your cat NOVA Cat Clinic is the place to be! Each and every staff member is always very friendly and treats our little furry ones as family members and not just our pets. The services I have received from this wonderful company over the last 12 years have been outstanding from their customer service to their technology and procedures. The doctors and staff really care about the well being of our pets and even call on weekends and week nights to "check in" to see how they are doing if your cat is under medical care. I would hightly recommend NOVA Cat to anyone who is looking for a great place to care for their cat.

Anita Lord

I can't say enough good things about NOVA Cat Clinic: their professional staffs are competent and compassionate, administrative staffs are friendly and helpful and their feline staffs perform their hostess duties with charm and grace. My senior cat has had several diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. All my questions have been answered before the plan of care developed and all alternatives have been discussed. When a plan has been made, they provide lots of good feedback regarding progress and outcomes. They are careful to attend to her stress and pain level. I know they plan to move to a bigger, more accessible location and I eagerly await the day.

Barbara Taylor

Nova Cat Clinic is the best. We've taken our cats there for 16 years and have never been disappointed. It's not cheap, to be sure, but the people and care there are outstanding. One of our cats had to be put to sleep a couple of months ago, and they were so kind, gentle, and thoughtful with her and with us. Later, they sent us a sympathy card with hand-written notes from the vets and staff. We also received a card saying Nova had contributed to a feline charity in memory of our cat. We were so grateful and touched.

Abigail Dawson

We just brought our new adopted cat in to NOVA for the first time for a check-up and vaccinations. The vets were SO kind to him and seemed to genuinely care how he was doing the whole time, doing whatever they could to minimize his stress and make him feel at home. The vets we saw were all incredibly knowlegdable, answered all of our questions in a non-judgmental way. We will definitely be bringing our other cat in soon for his first visit as well. Definitely recommend!

Carla Saavedra Kochalski

Best cat specialists around. I used to take my cats to Banfield but the environment was not made to be comforting, and they would freak out so much that they had to be sedated. When I would get them back from a simple check-up, they would come back to the house frightened and aggressive toward one another and it took them several days to readjust. I decided that it wasn't worth putting my cats through the trauma so I decided to go to NOVA Cat Clinic and am amazed by the expertise and care everyone has for cats. You come in to a cool, calm environment and meet with techs that know exactly how to work with cats. If you're looking for high quality care for your feline, go to NOVA Cat Clinic.

Cheryl M.

I have been taking my cats to NOVA Cat Clinic for more than five years now. The staff is outstanding, from the receptionists to the vet techs to the vets. They are very knowledgeable and caring, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality veterinary care for their cats.

Kate Davis

I wouldn't think of taking my cats anywhere other than NOVA Cat Clinic. They are simply the best. If you have a cat, a cat only veterinarian is what you want. NOVA Cat Clinic is staffed with the best doctors, vet techs, and vet assistants in Northern Virginia and they are all completely devoted to your cat. That's right, no dogs here sucking all the energy out of every room in the practice. The members of the NOVA Cat Clinic staff are more knowledgeable, friendly, sensitive, and nurturing than any other vet practice I have ever used.

Kimberly Allen

I have now taken three kittens to NOVA Cat Clinic to be spayed / neutered. I have been very happy with everyone I have encountered there . . . online, via phone and in person. Most importantly, my babies have done beautifully after their surgeries. Although I have gone to the same vet for 20 years, he is winding down his practice so I expect I will be taking my crew to NOVA for all of their medical needs soon. So happy to have found them!

Allie Genia

Update: this place is still wonderful! They've prioritized cat and human health throughout the pandemic all without sacrificing the level of service they provide. I love this place and my cat will keep coming here as long as she can for care. <3 This place is wonderful. They treated me and my cat with the utmost respect - it felt like everyone actually cared about her well being. As long as I'm in the area I'm bringing my cat here for care!

Valeri Rosen

Everything was perfect! Chadah’s appt. was scheduled during the Covid pandemic. Your staff handled this challenge flawlessly. At each step I was kept informed about her care, all from the comfort of my car. Virtual Veterinary care at its finest! I’ve been a cat owner since the 1980’s and have lived all over the USA. NOVA cat clinic is one of the best clinics I’ve taken my fur babies to for their medical care. You will not find better cat care than the group at NOVA.

Sabrina Jennings

Everyone who came in contact with my kitty showed much care and compassion. I couldn't have asked for more. I'm by far not the easiest customer. I was extremely satisfied with how gentle the veterinarian and tech were with my Shawnee. They were very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. They provided solutions to the problems. Also, this clinic only treats cats so my Shawnee doesnt have to fear for her life. No dogs allowed!

Naomi Lischak

This was my first time visiting this clinic and I must say I was really pleased with the care we received. I have a large, stubborn cat, and the vet and her assistants were so delicate with him and never tried to force him (which some vets have in the past) to do anything he didn't want to. It was such a less stressful visit for both myself and my fur-baby because of their delicate care, so hopefully he won't be as scared during any future visits! They also didn't try to "oversell" any services or care as some vets have in the past. NOVA cat clinic will now be my go to for all of my cats needs!

C Grant

Joey visited NoVa Clinic on his 10th birthday for a routine check-up. He has been cared for by Dr. Brown and his skilled and kind staff since he was 6 months old. I've also learned a lot from Dr. B and his colleagues about how to provide the best home environment and food for Joey and to understand him better. So, I feel we are both in very good hands at NoVA Clinic.

Sharon Elizabeth

NOVA Cat Clinic has always been highly competent and responsive to my needs in the past, but now that they're in shiny new and much larger digs (with easy parking!), I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather take my cats. The staff is thorough and very communicative. The vibe is friendly and relaxed.

Carlisle Levine

Our cat receives excellent care from Dr. Bazemore. She is thorough and caring. Our cat enjoys seeing her and so do we.

Dina F

I'm a new cat mom and the treatment that Buddy received was stellar! I truly appreciated Dr. Torres's care and the professionalism of Jonathan each time that I called with further questions. I definitely believe that Buddy and I have found a permanent cat clinic with NOVA Cat Clinic.

Nikki Blake

Took our cat here for about a year, but decided to switch vets. I didn't like that we didn't always see the same vet or even the same two vets (in one year we have saw three different vets) and had some communication issues. The final straw for me was when I was inquiring about a treatment plan for my cat and I was met with a very condescending attitude from the physician. I understand they do this every day, but I don't have a medical background so I just want to fully understand all of the risks before going through with treatment. We switched to Kingstowne Cat Clinic and I am very happy with our decision. At our first visit to Kingstowne I asked the vet quite a few questions, and the vet was very gracious and happy to explain everything.

Irene Gray

the staff here seem to genuinely like one's cat and want to do the best by it. front desk greets you by (the pet's) name, appointments are generally on time, vet tech people are friendly and attentive and the doctors listen to one's concerns. can't ask for much more. it seems expensive but is probably in line with any other surgery in my immediate area, and since proximity is a driving factor for me i can't complain too much. i especially like they fact i get a follow up email after each visit. oh, and who can resist the kittens they often have tumbling around the reception area?

Loredana Stan

I am a regular customer of Nova Cat Clinic, and I cannot imagine to go somewhere else with my cat. I am always impressed by their staff, and the way they treat their clients.The main concern for them is nothing else besides your beloved cat. They listen their clients, and counsel them in a very professional, knowledgeable way. I am so happy to feel that my cat is in good hands!

Amanda Sheckman

It does not get any better than the NOVA Cat Clinic! I've been bringing my cat, Figment, to the Clinic for the past 3 years and every time I leave, I call my husband to let him know how much I love this place. There's something about being at a cat-specific vet that gives me a lot of confidence--the nurses and the doctors are so friendly and knowledgeable! I recommend this place to all my feline friends.

Jamie Nicholas

We have been using NOVA Cat (Formerly Capital Cat) for many years. We have 4 cats, and they all go to NOVA Cat Clinic. I was there just yesterday with one of my cats, and Dr. Brown was awesome. We chatted for a long time, and figured out the best approach for treatment for my cat. I never feel rushed out for the next appointment. We refer all our cat owner friends there.

Esther Gyory

We've been going to NOVA Cat Clinic for over a year and they are great! The staff are friendly and helpful. They always take great care of our kitties and take the time to answer our questions and address any concerns, whether during the visit or on the phone. We highly recommend them!

Jessica Myers

Cats are in the best hands possible at NOVA Cat Clinic. The veterinarians to the vet techs to the front desk staff are passionate and dedicated to providing the best care and environment for cats. We have been taking our cats here for many, many years and really believe there is not better place for them or us. We are listened to, our questions are answered, our concerns are addressed, our kitties are made comfy and cared for on every level. Our kitties have been seen in good health and in very bad health and these docs and staff have literally performed miracles for us and our feline babies. They are compassionate and incredibly skilled in caring for the wee kittens as well as the geriatric twenty year old cats. We love, love, love this place.

Hilary Lianne

A really fantastic cat-only vet clinic. The new location (Cathedral Ln) is beautiful and MUCH improved over their last space. The staff is wonderful and friendly. We have seen both Dr. Brown and Dr. Anderson, both were so helpful and informative, and never tried to convince me to get additional services that I wasn’t comfortable with. I think my cat actually enjoyed her visit!

David K

Great staff and great facility. I'm sure my cat wouldn't be comfortable with me posting 5 stars, but NOVA Cat Clinic really does take care of their patients and boarders. We love getting annual Happy Birthday cards proclaiming our cat was born 'on or around this date.'

Erich S

We've taken our young gentleman to NOVA since he was a kitten and have always enjoyed the highest level of care and best communication, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. Highly recommended and trusted!

David Bernstein

We love Nova Cat Clinic. We have 3 cats. One is an adorable Abyssinian, 16 years old. Another is the sweetest cat, a Flame Point Siamese, Spike. Both have dental problems. The Nova people are very accommodating, caring & friendly. The Dr. allowed me to stay in the room while Daphne was being treated so Daphne was calmer. The manager also came in to speak with me about Daphne & stayed awhile when. They both had dental work done under anesthesia. The Dr's are competent, especially Dr, Brown. They take pains to explain everything. We always feel well taken care of & so do our cats.We love Nova Cat Clinic

Jean-Marie Simon

There are several vet clinics a lot closer to our house in DC -- a five minute drive vs. NOVA, which is 30 minutes but NOVA is the best. They love cats, they are dedicated to giving your kitty their complete attention during an exam, and the "report card" you receive afterward is fantastic for its detail and links to useful websites. Our daughter, who lives in Houston and scouted out vet clinics for us, insisted on NOVA, and she was right. This place is the greatest.

Kailee Tkacz

Nova Cat Clinic has been absolutely fabulous to my cat Winston! I adopted my little guy from a shelter as a kitten and he became very ill very quickly with a pneumonia and almost died. I took him to Nova Cat Clinic and they did everything and anything they could to nurse him back to health and now he is a happy healthy 7 lb kitten and I couldn't be more grateful! Not only is their service impeccable, but their follow up is outstanding. They always e-mail to check up on Winston to see how they can be helpful and are super responsive to and any all e-mail questions. Staff is a delight to deal with. I highly recommend Nova Cat Clinic and wouldn't consider bringing Winston anywhere else.

Erica Olmstead

We’ve been coming to NOVA Cat Clinic since we moved here 6+ years ago and they have consistently been exceptional. I’m always confident that our cats are getting the care and love they deserve when they visit. I truly can’t say enough good things.

Stefanie Hackenberg

All of the staff were friendly, professional, prompt, and efficient. The environment was a refreshing change from large vet clinics that serve all kinds of patients (including the loud, sniffy ones ;) ). I also appreciate that unlike past veterinarians my cat has seen, Dr. Barron immediately wanted to address his chronic GI issues instead of just accepting that all we can do is manage it with a special diet. I respect doctors that don't take "We don't know what's wrong" as an answer.

Melissa Hyatt

I am so grateful to have found Nova Cat Clinic and can't recommend it highly enough. My kitty does not like vet visits at all. The doctor and technicians were so gentle and sympathetic with my difficult cat. The doctor explained all the options and even suggested that a specialist might be more economical than additional tests at the clinic. I felt no pressure at all. Every other vet was such a stressful experience, but I always feel better after a visit at Nova Cat Clinic.

PCT

The visit was flawless! So happy to have found NOVA Cat Clinic! It’s very comforting to know our sweet old lady KIKI will have excellent care for the duration of her life. Many thanks!!

J P

Everyone was very friendly and I can tell that they have a love of cats. I adopted a kitten from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, and this was the only place near me that honored the voucher for a free exam without any issues. I would highly recommend them for your kitty's health needs.

Donna Campagna

I moved to Arlington, from out of state, in mid march this year. I moved with my three cats ,two of whom are seven and the oldest was 18 years old. She suffered from arthritis and she had a major, long term eye infection which had grown much worse through the move. In searching for a new Vet I learned that NOVA cat clinic ( a cat only practice, thankfully) and their incredible staff had glowing reviews. My sweet , beautiful, 19 pound, 18 year old cat was clearly suffering and had stopped eating. I quickly knew that I had an amazing, caring staff in my corner with my cat Chloe. She was cared for lovingly and tenderly . Blood work was done and Xrays were completed and her pain was eased with medication. Her heart was not strong enough and her general health was not good enough at eighteen for her to manage a surgery to remove the eye and her pain was severe. My options were clearly and compassionately explained to me and I realized that the most loving thing that I could do for my sweet cat would be to let her go and end her suffering. She could no longer even eat or drink.I have never experienced greater care or compassion than I received from the Vets and entire staff at NOVA Cat Clinic. I was ushered, with Chloe, to a new exam room which had windows and, in addition to an exam table, it had a cozy sofa and Dr. Wootton asked me if I would like to sit on the sofa with my Chloe who was now wrapped in a blanket in my arms and together the three of us huddled quietly as Chloe was so tenderly and quietly given two injections and my sweetest of cats peacefully crossed that rainbow bridge and now, it's been less than a week and I am in tears again as I write this but I know that my dearly, dearly loved cat passed peacefully, unafraid and without pain from this life to the next. This is not the kind of testimonial I would hope to be writing but I am so deeply grateful to the entire outstanding and compassionate staff at NOVA Cat Clinic for their caring. I definitely now have my Arlington/Northern Virginia Vets and I will soon be taking my two seven year old cats for their first routine check up visit to their new Vet. Thank you to the deeply caring, incredible Vets, front desk staff and techs. This is an exceptional practice! Look no further if you are in search of a Vet for your cat. You cannot do better than this exceptional practice! * A side note: you have no idea how amazing it is not to have dogs barking and terrifying your cats in a Vet's waiting Room!*

Kristine Jackson (KJ)

I've lived in a lot of states & had a veterinarian in every place... NoVA Cat Clinic is, by far, the best place I've ever taken my kitty. They are the only place my furbaby has been that she doesn't get nervous when I've had to drop her off for a few hours. I recommend them, without question, and my only regret is that they weren't my veterinarians sooner! Dr. Barron is THE BEST!

Nora Sheehan

We have been using this vet for years (when he was formerly at Capital Cat Clinic) and we can't say enough good things about them. They care about your cats and their owners beyond anything we have experienced and they really seem to know their medical stuff. They are the perfect balance between paying proper attention to your pet without overselling. Further, one of our three cats recently got sick with cancer and Dr. Brown was so helpful at explaining everything and having a true understanding of what we were going through. Then, when she eventually passed, we received a very special condolence card personally signed by the entire cat clinic.

Billie LeTourneau

I have been bringing my cats to NovaCat for years! Dr. Wootton and Ellen - The Vet Tech are awesome people. They helped me take care of my Romeo cat who had IBD and lymphoma for three years until he got too old to handle it anymore. Nova cat has worked with me in caring for a few ferals/strays that I have brought in to get neutered/spayed and vaccinated. The staff there is wonderful and caring. I have never had a problem. Some complain that it is overpriced at Novacat, but I don't think so. Considering where Novacat is and what they deal with on a daily basis - I understand the cost and fees. They do an amazing job with my cats. They are thorough and follow up with me to see how my cats are doing after check ups and treatments. NovaCat is a Number 1 - top of line Cat Vet if you ask me! I love NovaCat!

Mia Rommel

NOVA Cat Clinic is truly special. I can't say enough wonderful things about the care both of our cats have received and the communication we get is unparalleled. When we lost Atlas last year, we were overwhelmed with the kindness and compassion we received from our last visit to the clinic to the cards and emails they sent after. When it was time to take our other cat in, while Annika was not thrilled about visiting, it's the most calm she's ever been at a vet. I appreciate their "cuddle hold" while doing things like eye drops or nail trims, the kindness and gentleness the vet and techs use with all cats and the clear adoration they have for all things feline. We trust and value the input from the vets, the pricing is more than fair and I know without a doubt their only goal is the health and wellness of my best girl. One of the other things I really appreciate about NOVA is how they educate us on what is happening, how things feel, etc. etc. We're not given a medication with instructions and sent out the door - we're told what to watch for, why things happen or don't, what our options are, etc. I've never have a vet in all of the 11 years we've had Ana, explain all the treatment options for her eyes and walk us through decision points. The front desk regularly follows up and proactively shares next steps. Bottom line: I trust NOVA implicitly. I love their social media and their compassionate and educational care.

Marc Mayerson

New facility is nice. Expert care from folks who love cats. Update: The staff and vets were wonderful when one of our cats was euthanized.

Lauren Smith

NOVA Cat Clinic has been the only vet we've ever taken our baby to. They are wonderful in every single way and were so responsive and kind when our cat was having a health issue. Cannot recommend them enough!

Jennifer Oliver

So lucky to have a Vet totally devoted to the care of cats. NCC has such caring staff, and they take the time to discuss everything with you, answer all your questions and be a resource for future questions. I am very happy with the service and care received.

Emily W.

I have a LOT of cats, with a variety of health problems. NOVA Cat Clinic has helped me through my cats' cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, a life-threatening urinary blockage, a cardiac abnormality, and a smattering of other illnesses over the past several years I've used them. They are consummate professionals and I trust them always to provide the best care possible for my babies.

Lecia Imbery

I have nothing but great things to say about NoVa Cat Clinic. I switched to NoVa 1.5 years ago after one of my cats started eating less and I read all the rave reviews about the practice. Despite a laundry list of medical problems they helped find, Drs. Barron, Brown and Wootton have all been great with her, and Dr. Barron's acupuncture has kept her going strong. They've also been great with my other cat, who had to have several teeth pulled along with other normal cat issues, and with me, who has worried through every procedure. The vet techs and front desk staff couldn't be a nicer or more professional group of people. There are a lot of vets closer to my house in NW DC, but it's worth the drive to NoVa - and that's saying a lot given how much my cats hate the car ride :-)

Oana Stan

I have seen Dr. Marcus and Dr. Barron and both of them are great. They never miss to respond to any concern that you might have and there is always a feedback or a follow up after a medical visit for any requested reason. The clinic atmosphere is homey and the technicians treat their clients in a professional manner, too. I love that this health center only addresses the cats, thus being much more comfortable and friendly for your feline. Now I discovered how much helpful information is posted on the clinic's website, being very useful to take a look before getting here. Even though my income cannot offer me no worries about the costs of services, the care offered is well worth it. In addition, you will not be bombed by unnecessary tests, except as perfectly justified ones.Therefore, it is so obvious that not the money come first (like many would be tempted to say), but rather the quality of care and your cat's health matter the most. Many thanks to NOVA Cat Clinic team...

Ali Dimashkieh

If you think that you’ve ever been to a vet clinic where your cat was treated like a queen (or king), then think again. Our four-year old Himalayan wanted to wonder around the moment we stepped in. She simply felt home. Even when we got in the examination room, she kept her joyful mood before, during, and after the examination. The fact that the clinic is exclusively for cats may have played a role, but the genuine care and friendliness of every single person we met is amazing. From the receptionist to the nurse to the doctor, we’ve never witnessed such care. Even when withdrawing blood for some tests, our cat wasn’t irritated. The lovely lady kept on pressing on her leg to make sure not to have any bruise that I wished I had such care the last time I had a blood work myself! If you live near by or not, it is worth it to take your cat to NOVA. It makes your vet visit surprisingly pleasant for you and your cat. They are amazing!

Yvette Choban

Nova CAT Clinic is exceptional. I wanted a vet who specialized in felines and Dr. Marcus Brown and his other vets and staff are terrific. The clinic is quiet (very cat friendly) and all the staff is very knowledgeable and treat my felines with plenty of TLC. I have great respect and trust in Dr. Brown's diagnoses and care for my cats.

Michele Murphy

Eleven years ago, we found NOVA Cat Clinic. The doctors are exceptional along with each and every staff member. We had adopted a kitten that had been severely injured and truamatized by a dog attack and as a grown cat she now needed a feline only practice that also offered expert life cycle care and feline only boarding. Over the years we also adopted two other kittens. NOVA's expertise and loving care has been invaluable. Our cats love visiting their friends at NOVA.

Megan Aczon

I've been taking my cat here for about 1.5 years. Every doctor and tech I've worked with has been extremely kind and they really listen to my concerns. They're also very good at reviewing her chart and knowing what's been going on with her even if they haven't met her before. I highly recommend them to any cat owner!

Nicole Amoratis

I recently moved to the area and have only had one appointment but this is easily my favorite vet office to date. Pre visit: very easy to get an appointment that works with your schedule During visit: They showed extreme listening and empathy skills towards cats and owners. It was the first office that I feel like didn't scold me regarding cat care (for example my cat struggles with weight and they weren't condescending or blameful when addressing it like previous vets). They even gave a gift card as a reward for being prepared for the appointment. Post appointment: They quickly following up with the appointment to cover topics they didn't get to talk about and reaching out again about the diet with more detail. They also let me know that in a few months I could have a follow up weight assessment at no extra charge. Would highly recommend

Eric Newman

We have been talking our babies to NOVA Cat Clinic since we moved to Arlington 14 years ago - Dr. Brown and the staff have treated them (and us) as family. They have always been there for all the routine (remember, these are cats - routine is no such thing) events without batting an eye, listening to our concerns, providing great advice, and delivering treatment. When our oldest crossed the rainbow bridge at 19 years, the entire office displayed such compassion that I get emotional just writing this. We are moving out of state and having to leave NOVA Cat Clinic is truly devastating.

Elaine Crosby

Since adopting my two Siamese rescues almost two years ago, I have been taking them to NOVA Cat Clinic for wellness exams and all other health issues. From the time of arrival, the entire staff has been professional, knowledgeable, accommodating & genuinely concerned about the welfare of my beloved Bodhi and Lily. I tend to be a Nervous Nellie Meowmy and everyone has been patient, understanding and go above and beyond the call of duty to address my anxiety. You and your fur babies are in good hands with the exceptional team at NOVA Cat Clinic.

Anthony Reyes

The experience was very pleasant and my cat felt very comfortable once we arrived. The staff was very friendly and alleviated stress for my cat's first visit to the vet. The environement allowed my cat to remain calm even when receiving shots.

Kate King

I've been taking my cat to another vet who had No Idea what was wrong with her and wanted to do about $1000 of tests. I took her to NOVA and Dr Barron diagnosed her in about 5 minutes and provided a Rx and within 24 hrs my cat was doing better and now a week later she is fine. I am so pleased! Everyone there was very helpful and it was a great experience. KK

We've used NOVA Cat Clinic for our 2 present cats, and their several predecessors, for well over 10 years. All of the NOVA staff are experts in their knowledge of medical treatment of cats, and at their compassion when caring for sick cats. We highly recommend NOVA for your cat's vet needs. Gene Tucker

This place specializes in cats, so they really understand the variety of personalities cats have. I've seen them work with three cats in three different ways, and they know cat body language so well that they are instantly aware of how to treat your kitty. They are very reasonable about getting a medical procedure done - if the animal is in distress and they have an alternative way to do it, they stop trying to do it in a way that causes distress and don't bill you for the procedure your cat "declined".

Ed Szczepanik

NOVA is the BEST! We needed some special consideration for our cat Chloe the week of our first child's arrival and Dr. Wooten and team were incredibly accommodating! They take the best care of Chloe and communicate with us exceptionally. Thank you again for the special consideration! - Ed & Lacey S.

Robert Faltynek

This is a well-run practice. Drs Barron and Brown are excellent, caring veterinarians, and their assistants and front desk people are first class as well. We look forward to having NOVA Cat Clinic provide for our two "kids" throughout their respective 9 lives.

Melanie Ness

I've been taking my feline buddies to NOVA Cat Clinic for many years now. They've thrived under their care, and the ones that didn't, because of various cancers, were given loving attention. And their owner, me, has been given loving attention. But really, I so wish I could just sit out in their waiting room all day, playing with the kittens and looking at the wall art. Also they all love my Joshua, my chocolate-point Siamese, and who loves Joshua, I love......

Victoria Wodarcyk

Very kind staff. Dr. Wootton was fantastic with my cat. The test results came in quickly and Dr. Wootton explained them thoroughly. I also love that it is a cat only environment because a vet visit is stressful enough for my cat without adding dogs to the mix. I highly recommend NOVA Cat Clinic.

Theresa Buchanan

It doesn't get better...have had our rescue cat seen by this practice...have boarded him there several times and repeatedly told what a treat he is...I have had cats for years and been with other practices and they were great but this one just exceeds all expectations. We are delighted to be part of their family. Kudos all around...and thank you Dr Bazemore!!!

Amanda Lovejoy

The vets and staff are friendly and you can tell they really care about your furry friend!

Rena Münster

We have been bringing our cats here for three years. It was recommended to us by Hannah Shaw (Kitten Lady). She described it to us as the "Hopkins" of cat care. We have been 110% satisfied thus far. Great space, easy to park, easy to schedule, vet is responsive to email, very friendly staff.

Cynthia Behn

We have been frequenting NOVA Cat Clinic for several years now, as we live in Arlington, not far from the Clinic. But that's not the primary reason. While traveling in 2014, we boarded our kitty, Shadeaux, at NOVA Cat Clinic. While away, she revealed signs of ill health. Not only did Dr. Marcus Brown email us daily with an update, but he nursed her, and made an appointment for us upon our return at a local advanced pet care facility. In this way, we could take Shadeaux to the appointment immediately upon our return. Dr. Brown's daily contact with us, and his prompt attention to our kitty's needs solidified our belief that this is the finest, most caring kitty-care facilities around. We now have two new kitties, and wouldn't think of taking them anywhere else for either medical care, or boarding. Absolutely the best team ever! Our gratitude is never-ending!

Rissa Cee

The people here definitely care about cats, and the atmosphere is calming and professional. However, we eventually decided to pursue another local vet for treatment of our cat. She was suffering from an allergic reaction (rash, itchiness, bleeding) and, after several visits and different treatments (all of which were unsuccessful, which was NOT the vet's fault), we were finally quoted $900+ for exploratory surgery/bloodwork/skin scraping. We did not have the money to afford this, and chose to get a second opinion elsewhere. Our second opinion gave her a steroid pill and switched her food, and she has gotten much better. I'm frustrated that, at NOVA, the simplest option was overlooked in favor of a very costly alternative. I believe that they did their best but, in any serious situation, I would recommend getting a second opinion, just to be sure.

Kevin Hovis

Well, my cat trusts all the vets. I'm glad I didn't need to seek a vet for my furry friend because I knew NOVA Cat Clinic knew how to take care of the feline in my household.

Jordan Shimer

Had a pleasant visit with our newly adopted cat. They were highly professionals and friendly, providing advice for introducing our cats and other small issues our cats were facing.

Lexi Gibson

I love NOVA Cat Clinic! The staff is so nice and helpful. My cat, Nachos Xtravaganza, had a bad experience at an animal hospital and now he gets very nervous and upset at the vet. The vet tech and vet were incredibly patient and understanding with my little guy and I couldn't be happier!

Daneel Law

This is bar none the best vet for cats in the DC area that I have been to, and I've been to several practices over the years, including the big ER hospitals. Been going there for years now after a range of experiences elsewhere, and these folks take absolutely fantastic care of my cats. Dr. Brown runs the clinic and he is an amazing veterinarian, super friendly, and really knows his stuff. The staff are all friendly and caring and knowledgeable, and my favorite part is getting to pick up and pet little Emme, one of the clinic cats - I wish I could take her home. I suppose they might be higher-priced than some other practices, but it is well worth it, and they are not as expensive as other, lower quality clinics and hospitals. And to the contrary of what others have said, the vets here do NOT try to sell you on services you don't need - just the opposite in fact.

Georgiana Bloom

We love Nova Cats. It's a wonderful, caring clinic with knowledgeable doctors and techs; the staff at the desk is friendly and responsive. We also love Dr. Marcus Brown, who has taken care of two of our cats: Isadora, from age 10 to 18 years; and 11 year old Tashi since she was 7 months old when we adopted her. His theoretical and practical understanding is rich and amazing, made even better by his love for cats. He follows up and thoroughly explains issues that may arise. Dr. Fernandez is also excellent; thorough, caring and gentle. We also greatly value Ellen Coroza, a licensed technician, who has been there for many years. If you have a kitten or cat who needs attention, or just basic checkups, Nova Cats is the place to go!

Graciela Q

My experience was great, and it looked like my cat's experience was as well. I would have loved to come inside with him and meet the team and the vet, but I understand and appreciate the safety guidelines for COVID 19. The process was seamless and so fast, amazing!

Paula Katz

My cat has been a patient here for over a decade, and he's received the best medical care of almost any member of my family. Everyone at Nova Cat Clinic--from the front desk folks to the techs to the docs--clearly cares a lot about cats. I'd trust them for any feline health issue and would highly recommend.

Gayle Routman

Dr. Marcus Brown and his team gave my cat excellent care, treating her for hyperthyroidism with specialized I-131 therapy. They kept her in their specialized rooms and monitored her at all times. Dr. Brown also gave us daily update reports so we knew how our kitty was reacting to the treatment. They even have remote cameras so we could see her from our home in Cleveland! Shuggy is cured, thanks to the Nova Cat Clinic team, and has already gained weight, and we couldn't be more thankful. Excellent care and excellent customer service and excellent facility. Thank you!

Lois Baron

At NOVA Cat Clinic, the vets and staff are friendly and capable. The facility is in an old house, which reinforces the feeling that they care about you like family. Even if they weren't so close to my home, I'd love having my three cats tended by NOVA Cat Clinic.

Neil Moynahan

I brought my newly adopted friend here since they were close and I'd never had an animal in the area. Luckily, the reviews I found matched up with the service I experienced (excellent). My little Zara was not a fan of being out of my apartment in the cold, but every single staff member was great and made her feel comfortable. Great job!

Dana B

The vets here are all great. They really listen to your concerns and spend as much time with you and your cat as you need. They will answer questions by email if something comes up for follow up care. The staff are friendly and helpful. They have very flexible hours that make it easy to work around your schedule to get in for an appointment.

Sarah Curtin

Pixie Bobtail Mitzy LOVES NOVA Cat Clinic and Dr. Bazemore! She appreciates Dr. Bazemore's loving care and that NOVA cares about her human companion, too, by letting Sarah remain in her car after taking Mitzy to the outdoor pick-up table in order to manage covid restrictions. (HUMANS: Call NOVA upon arrival and shortly you'll receive a call back letting you know that you can take your cat in carrier to the door to get picked up and taken in. Return to your car, get called when all finished, pay over the phone, pick up cat at table--ALL COMPLETELY CONTACTLESS!) Thank you! ♥️

Chris Bartos

Recently had to put down my little Lizzy. Dr Brown actually came in on his day off to help us out. It was a terrible day, but he really was compassionate and very empathetic as ALL of the staff. A few days later, i received a sympathy card in the mail, which was unexpected, but incredibly thoughtful and kind. I'm hoping to adopt two kittens soon and you can believe that these kittens will have a life long relationship with Dr. Brown and NOVA Cat Clinic. Thank you.5 Stars

Clare Grubbs

After working with several vets with no results, I decided to take my cat to a cats only vet. After researching, I chose NOVA Cats. On the first visit, the vet, Dr. Wootton, identified a possible solution and my cat was literally cured overnight. I know this is not always the case, but I am very impressed with this veterinary office. There was no wait time, parking was easy, an ideal operation. I'm just so happy I found Dr. Wootten.

M2 LEE

Very very pleased with NOVA Cat Clinic. I took my 17 year old kitty there and she received great care and was not freaked out like past experiences going to another vet clinic.

Maggie Giddens

The team at NCC is the best in the business! I've been going there for about 9 years. I had an elderly cat who had diabetes and eventually kidney disease. They really take the time to discuss treatment options, teach you how to medicate and what to look for. I once had to take my diabetic to an ER vet. She started walking strangely while there and the Drs. there said they'd never seen anything like it. One quick call to Dr. Brown to describe the symptoms and he knew exactly what it was. They are a feline-only clinic and if you have a cat, you MUST go to a feline specialist. I moved about 25 minutes away a few years ago, but I still take my new kitten there (and adopted her from their wonderful non-prof kitten foundation). I can't say enough about the staff - everyone from front desk to doctors. There are too many to name. They are all ace professionals, respectful, kind and love cats! THANK YOU NCC for all that you do for felines!

Alicia Rau

We are just thrilled to have moved our kitties to this practice. Perhaps the only way the experience could have been better is if they had literally discovered a cure for feline diabetes :) Seriously. We were so grateful that Dr. Brown spent an hour with us explaining everything, answering all our questions, providing tips, and product recommendations. And of course, we can’t express our thanks enough that sweet Buddy allowed us to practice on him since our Dasher is so terrified of the vet. That kind of attention to clients is so hard to come by and nearly priceless. Thank you!

Maureen McHugh

I took my ailing cat Melrose to NOVA Cat Clinic for the first time on Monday, June 10. I had the best possible experience. Everyone there was warm, caring, professional and practical. Melrose is much improved. I will return when I need help again. Thank you, everyone, at NOVA Cat Clinic

Kate McGrail

Vets are kind and knowledgeable, but beware of lots of extra and over-priced charges.

Scott Barton

Excellent cat-only vet. I've had only great service from both Dr. Erica Barron and Dr. Jessica Wootton, as well as the front desk staff. My cats definitely prefer being with a cat only vet, and these guys definitely understand cat issues, cat behavior, and how to handle cats who are scared and confused.

Karen Longava

Excellent, professional, and personable care! Nova Cat Clinic is Arlington’s only Feline-exclusive animal hospital. Our community is very fortunate to have a specialized veterinary service with an enormous amount of services.

National Retiree Help Desk

We have been using NOVA Cat Clinic for years. They show love and kindness in caring for our 3 cats. From making appointments, to reception and veterinarian care, they are efficient and extremely competent. On several occasions one or another of the cas required a medical intervention. Dr Brown immediately knew what to do. They also have an excellent referal network for specialy services. We would never use any other veterinary service for our cats

Frank Taylor

Our cats always get the best care. Everyone at NOVA Cat Clinic is very friendly and professional. They really care about our cats and want to do what's best for them. We love this place.

Paul Veneziano

Been a long time customer. Great veterinary staff and medical facility for your cats. Recommend NOVA Cat Clinic to one and all! Keep up the good work gang!

Michael Worley

NoVA Cat Clinic is fantastic. They worked super hard to accomodate a last minute check-up I needed for my cat before bringing her on a domestic flight. They are lifesavers.

Reina Sultan

I brought my very congested kitten, Théo, to NOVA Cat Clinic for his first visit last week. Every person at the clinic was amazing with Théo. They were caring and attentive, making sure to listen to my concerns. The vet didn’t push any costly medical tests or procedures, instead assuring me Théo would be ok and she would see us again in 2 weeks for a check up and his last vaccine. Two days after my appointment, they emailed me to check on Théo. I appreciate their care and would recommend them to anyone with a kitty companion!

Jennifer W.

Dr. Barron has treated Eeyore numerous times, from routine exams, to a UTI, to dental procedures, skin issues, anal glands, etc. I have always been impressed with the facilities, staff, and services. They have always gone above and beyond to find convenient appointment times for me, including drop offs. Pricing is fair, especially laser treatments and medical boarding. Dr. Barron does not suggest over treatments, which is a relief from what I have experienced at other veterinarians. I also love that this is a cat-only practice. Big plus.

Billie LeTourneau

I have been taking my cats here for years!!! Dr. Wooton is my favorite Vet and Ellen is my favorite Vet Tech there, however everyone there is super helpful and understanding. They have also taken care of the feral cats that I have trapped and brought in with no problem. Exams, surgery and vaccines on my ferals with the utmost care and tenderness. Top notch kitty care here!

Gina Cirino

The staff was very helpful and super nice. They genuinely cared for the well-being of my cat and clearly explained everything to me. I had a very pleasant experience, despite my cat's frantic state.

Tara Ann Carroll

I love this place, and it's obvious everyone working here loves and cares for all cats! I've seen a number of different vets and vet techs, and they've always been extremely courteous, and willing to discuss any problems or concerns in length. I will be coming to this practice as long as I have kitties and live in the area!

Donna Cluny Gardner

I love all the vets here, but Dr. Brown is a favorite! I feel as though they care as much about my cats as I do. Everyone is pleasant and I also enjoy petting the kittens that are there when I stop by to buy food and treats for my own cats. Simply the best!

Alexie Anderson

I absolutely love NOVA Cat Clinic!! When I moved from the Arlington area, I didn't want to take my cat to any other vet, so we commute from Maryland! Great people, very helpful with any questions I have.

Mike Harvey

Way overpriced. We had to put down our cat today. They asked for $329.35 for the service and $465.35 with private cremation. We found a local vet that does the exact same service (we compared specifics) for $90. We've been very happy with their services for many years, though they are generally the most expensive vet in the area. But Nova had no explanation for this 350% discrepancy. I'm hurt that they try to gouge us when we are at our most vulnerable.

Jessica

I love this place. My cat is always way calmer here than in other clinics. The doctors are all so sweet and caring and thoroughly explain everything. The staff is wonderful and love cats just as much as I do.

Meghan Navarro

We love NoVa Cat Clinic! Staff and doctors are friendly, kind and extremely knowledgeable. I always feel that my cat receives the best of care.

Christina Frost

I love love love NOVA Cat Clinic. They consistently treat my three furbabies with total love and tenderness, even the one who is never happy to go there and is more than willing to make it known. I wouldn't take my little guys anywhere else. :)

Sue Arnold

We’ve been taking cats here for almost 20 years. Always top quality medical care along with kindness and compassion. We are now going through end of life issues with our 18 dear year old tabby. Vets and staff are always supportive.

Todd Hill

NOVA Cat Clinic does a great job handling my cat, Lucy Liu. She can be a real handful when she is taken to the vent but they are very professional and handle her with the best care despite her inability to be nice :-)

jo ann williams

This is an excellent clinic in all respects. The vets and staff are all top notch. Also,my cats have boarded several times and get lots of attention. If you are looking for a feline practice, I highly recommend this one.

Derek Kingston

A great place to take your cat. Professional and courteous staff who are really knowledgeable and caring. If you're in the area as a Foreign Service transplant, they are up on the latest travel requirements and processes.

Caroline Gadonas

I've only taken my cat here once so far, but really love this place already! They are clearly people who love taking care of cats. I love how much is automated and can be done online. Their website is great and offers lots of helpful blog posts for cat owners, too.

Dasa H

Dr. Brown is the BEST vet I've ever seen. He is so polite, easy to talk to, likes cats, he suggests but never pushes you or manipulates you into expensive preventive treatment. He is amazing!!!

John Schultz

They take good care of our cat. Always helpful, answering questions and our cat doesn't seem to mind trips to the vet either. So that's nice.

Andrew Carney

NOVA Cat Clinic did an amazing job with our cat's dental. Very responsive, attentive, and caring. Thank you!

Andy Minor

We've seen several vets but each one is fantastic, as are the rest of the staff. Everyone we deal with at NOVACC is friendly, nice, and cares about our cats just as much as we do. So happy we found this place.

Aimee Nichols

I have been taking both my cats to Dr. Marcus Brown for years, and would never think of taking them elsewhere! The expert treatment, gentle handling, and truly dedicated care are exceptional. I highly recommend Dr. Brown and his staff. This is THE place for cats!!

Colin Jeske

The staff at NOVA Cat Clinic have always taken amazing care of our two cats. I would highly recommend them to any cat owner!

Tianay Zeigler

The service was quick and flexible. They provided grooming (nails and hind quarters) when I asked for the add on and prescribed anxiety meds on the spot even though it was a simple check up! Definitely coming back.

Crys Latham

I had to take Poughkeepsie in on Friday morning for radiation treatment for his hyperthyroidism. It meant that he would be radioactive and unable to be home with me for a few days until his levels were low enough that it'd be safe to bring him home. I've lost my other two cats this year (16.5- and 17-years-old) to old age/kidney failure, the most recent just five weeks ago, so I was very reluctant to be away from Poughkeepsie for a few nights. Dr. Brown did a wonderful job via email and phone leading up to the drop-off and in person on the morning of to prepare me for what to expect and pre-emptively telling me what I would need to do to care for him when I brought him home (Dr. Brown knows that I'm a teacher and need to be able to plan in advance and has ALWAYS taken this into consideration when it comes to having to drop off or pick up my cats, scheduling appointments, or knowing how and when he can reach out to me during the school day with questions or updates). Dr. Brown stayed in regular contact with me throughout Tipsy's treatment (over the weekend!!!) to update me on his radiation levels, that he was eating and drinking, etc. The best part of this whole experience truly (besides being able to bring Tipsy home) was the live feed. Dr. Brown has a camera set up in the room where Tipsy was and sent me a link so that I could see Tipsy while he was there. In the wall of nine cages in this lead-lined room, Tipsy was staying in a cage that had a ledge in it, gave him access to an adjacent cage so that he had more room to move about, and the cage was located right in front of the big window in the room. I was so happy that Tipsy would be able to look outside just like he does at home. I was able to share the link to the feed with my family in OH so that they could look in on him as well. Dr. Brown and his staff have done such an amazing job caring for Tipsy and my other two cats, Sissy and Puppy, for the past eight years, and I refer all of my cat-owning or want-to-be cat-owning friends to NOVA Cat Clinic. Driving 90 minutes round-trip from DC (usually in rush-hour traffic because of school hours) is never fun, especially with an unhappy cat in the car, but because of how amazing Dr. Brown and his staff are, I'm willing to make that drive knowing my cat - and I - will get the best care there. I just recently adopted a dog, and if I could take him to NOVA, I absolutely would. I cannot praise them enough!

Jen McLeod Petrini

The team at NOVA are amazing! I am so relieved to finally be able to bring my cat somewhere that is run by cat-specialists. Great with communication, easy to book and make an appointment.

Bob Clarke

Great cat care - more detailed knowledge and treatment options than standard vets. They develop a relationship with cats and owners that is deep and lasts for years.

Jeanine perez

Flew all the way from Charlotte, NC and I’m so glad I did! They were able to diagnose what was wrong with a kitten that would of been euthanized. The entire staff was so caring and went above and beyond. Wendy- at the front desk was so emphatic and thoughtful. Thank you all so much for saving our sweet boy!!

Haley Knight

Office staff is kind & courteous and the Dr was informative with care instructions, the only con is it takes at least 2 weeks to get in for an appt (even for a sick pet).

Phyllis CurryMorgan

Anxious kitty or anxious kitty parent? This the place for you. They truly love kitties. My baby is not an easy not an easy kitty to work with. But they were gentle and patient. I would definitely refer my friends and family. You won't regret it.

Melissa Riggio

I had a great experience taking my newly adopted cat to the clinic. They also were responsive via email when I had a quick follow-up question post-visit.

Kimberly Ann

Wonderful staff! I wish I could express how important it is to bring your kitty family members to a cat-only clinic. I highly highly recommend Nova Cat Clinic!

Christian Sachse

Friendly professional staff: 10/10 Decor: 10/10 Cozy family style parking: 10/10 When we opened the door, Lily and I were greeted with framed cat paintings, cat pictures, cat paraphernalia and the best part, actual cats.The pictures I took of the office were a big hit on FB of course. I imagine the customer retention is pretty high because of their “Décor” score, and hard to find brands of food and treats were on display which was a nice touch. I’ll just have to come back because I forgot to buy the cans I wanted before we left >,< Also, the shop cats maybe weren't Lily's favorite part but I thought it gave the office a lot of personality!

Amanda Heiner

NOVA Cat Clinic is wonderful! Courteous and helpful staff and they are particularly attentive to your cat and his/her needs. I would recommend NOVA Cat Clinic to anyone in the Arlington area with a cat.

Mary Kemmer

My experience with NOVA Cat Clinic is consistently excellent. I have been using their veterinary services for over 5+ years. I highly recommended NOVA Cat Clinic.

Edward VanArsdall

We have a long history with NOVA Cat Clinic (NCC), going back to their days as Capital Cat Clinic. Our cat Trevor was a longtime patient there when we lived in Arlington. NCC helped us manage Trevor's health, from routine visits to his diagnosis of renal disease and his eventual death. Trevor definitely had a better life to the very end because of NCC's care. And thus, so did we. When we later adopted Fritz and Sophie, we took them to NCC for their routine health exams. NCC also took care of Fritz's challenging dental problems and Sophie's chronic urinary problems. When we eventually moved to Alexandria, we found a vet closer to our new home. But when Fritz began to exhibit signs of poor health, we knew that NCC's approach was a better fit for him, and we returned to NCC for critical care. NCC took steps to enable us to get the best hospital care possible for a Fritz's unfortunate manifestation of a mysterious bacterial infection. We are still battling that problem and are consoled only by the fact that NCC remains dedicated to Fritz's issues. We highly recommend NCC for both routine and catastrophic care. Eddie VanArsdall and Greg Bolling

Huri Fraley

Excellent service, very competent and friendly staff... If you love your cat as much as we do (a lot), this is the place to your cat to. Thanks to Nova for exceptional service with care and a smile!

Rebecca Steele

I just started taking my kitties to NOVA cat clinic last year and then have been wonderful.

Sarah Klingenberg

Great experience, and my cat (healthy but slightly overweight) is one week on a new health plan and already looking and feeling better!! Such a cute office and reasonable pricing!

Anaiz S

Doctor Brown and his team know how to treat people! There was a little hiccup with his availability upon arrival but was immediately fixed. Very friendly and efficient! I received my lab results the next day which was the day promised to me..the next steps for treatment were also included..so glad I went!

Kim Munn

They confirmed what I suspected (and what my previous vet refused to acknowledge). They advised me to see a veterinarian dentist, as my cats case if complex. Wish they weren't two hours away. Would love to have them as my regular vet

Carlos Molestina

We bring our cats here for regular checks. The staff is friendly and professional. The techs and the vets are adept at handling angry and aggressive cats like ours (they are like that only at the vet or we people that aren't us).

Kerri Burke

I am so grateful for the entire Team at NOVA Cat Clinic.!! I know they are always there for me and my kitties. Just the best!

Laleh Ahmad

I loveeeee Nova Cat Clinic. Y’all are so kind to my cat and genuinely seem to care. Amazing service.

Philip Walgreen

Dr. Brown was wonderful with my little girl, Jelly Belly. He and his staff are thoughtful, helpful, courteous, professional, and just brilliant in dealing with kitties and us nervous parents!

Jacinta S. Northington

Friendly, knowledgable staff, and great atmosphere. Prices are economical as well. Virtually no waiting time from time of arrival. Arguably, the best place you can take your cat for his/her health care needs!

Jennifer Ravenscroft

Took good care of Pepper when she needed treatment for her hyperthyroidism. Kept me informed every step of the way.

Jason Yauman

Fantastic service. Great staff and fantastic Doctor. Dr. Brown is a great Doc that takes the time to understand cats with complex problems. Best place to go with cats in the DC area.

Sheldon McClung

I love this clinic. They are super friendly and take great care of my cats

justingilb

All their doctors are excellent. They always take the time to listen to my concerns and answer whatever questions I have. They have also been kind enough to see one of my cats on short notice when I have had emergencies.

Steve Ember

As in previous visits, very satisfied with my contacts, from front desk with Camila and Melinda to the care Wookie and I received from Dr Heath and Jacinta, who was most pleasant in putting a new liner in Wookie's carrier (he'd vomited on the way there) and cleaning off the mess on his towel and placing it in a plastic bag. Additionally, Dr Heath was very pleasant and patient in discussing my concerns.

Carol Goldberg

The visit was excellent. I can't think of anything that would make it better. Dr. Wooten is thorough and very caring and reassuring. The Veterinary Technicians are awesome!

Joseph Morgan

Always showed great care and attention to the comfort of Scoops. The ability to schedule appointments thru the PetDesk app are awesome. They normally approve in a week or so.

Caren Va

Dr. Brown spent a lot of time explaining White Sox' condition and exploring options. Then, he followed up with an e-mail and continued communication. It was awesome!

Rebecca Moore

Great vet to see if your cat has cat specific medical issues. They provide a lot of options to resolve issues and are wonderful partners in caring for your cats.

Thomas Wood

I first took my cats to NOVA Cat Clinic back in 2002, and in my opinion this is the best cat hospital in the entire Metro area. I don't expect to ever take my cats anywhere else.

Angie Padilla

Everyone at the clinic was extremely friendly and tended perfectly to my cat’s needs. I’m very impressed and will definitely continue to bring my cat here!

Teri Matzkin

I've been a client for 20 years. Very caring vets and staff. Best licensed vet tech in the universe! Excellent service and technical capabilities. I recommend them highly.

Julie & Jack Mulville

Wouldn't take my cats anywhere else. The nicest staff and comfy waiting room. They dont pressure you into having expensive work done on your pet.

Sara Mitchell

I recommend this clinic to all my cat owner friends. They’re super kind to my cat — and me!

Kate Gallup

It is a cat only clinic with excellent staff. Everyone is super caring and informative. I really liked the comfy waiting room with fun cat art.

zachary stewart

Have gotten excellent care and suggestions from the vets, and the staff has been wonderfully gentle with my furry one, who really dislikes shots and blood draws! Big fan of the new location.

Angel Kast

I was anxious about not being able to go inside with my cat due to covid but the experience was still great! They are very communicative and friendly throughout the visit.

Justin Zymbaluk

I felt safe with NCC's COVID procedures, and they took really good care of my kitty. Highly recommended!

lea chap

I've been a client of NOVA Cat Clinic for 15 years and couldn't imagine anyone else taking care of my fur babies.

Randy Maysaud

My cat is so calm when she comes and the vets know what they are doing. Highly recommend coming here, like it way better then my old vet!

Nathan Hoobler

Great staff -- going to a cat specialist is definitely worthwhile in my experience. They are very patient and willing to deal with 'problem' cats, too.

Priscilla Bumbaca

My two girls and I love the care we receive from Dr. Bazemore and the rest of the team.

John McConnell

Excellent service! Loved the staff, everyone was very personable and helpful. Dr. Barron was fantastic--thorough, good at explaining what was going on, and very kind. Will absolutely be coming back.

absinthe 242

I have trusted NOVA Cat (and previously Capital Cat) Clinic with my feline friends for 10 years now. I appreciate your expertise and compassion for all things Cat.

Beverly McKittrick

I've taken my cats there for years and wouldn't take them anyplace else. It is a warm, welcoming place with helpful front-office staff and knowledgeable, caring vets and vet techs.

Josue Castro

Love the staff! Very kind and helpful. They cured my cats Ear mites! I will continue coming here.

A N

We love NOVA- they are the best vet clinic for cats in the region!

Matt Aliberti

Great staff, great vets, great service. Everyone is so nice. They don't push procedures on you, they just love cats.

Jessica Stoll

Friendly, thorough exam -- the doctor took a lot of time to answer my questions. I didn't feel rushed or pushed to agree to anything extra.

Nicolette Anctil

Very responsive, took wonderful care of my cat when she was sick. Look forward to our next visit!

Cara Evans

The staff was exceptionally friendly and very knowledgable. I will definitely bring my cat back here in the future for any medical care.

Madeline Priest

I highly recommend NOVA Cat Clinic. The vets and staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, and seem to genuinely care about your pet.

Tuna Martin

Such a knowledgeable and helpful group of people that really care about cats. So nice that they help out rescue kittens too! And bottle babies!

Gabby Theofanous

Took my kitty here today and the staff were so sweet and fun! They helped figure out what was wrong with my girl and did an awesome job.

Allan and I felt very comfortable with Dr. Heath and the staff. Dr. Heath handled our testy little kittie extraordinarily well. Thanks

A great place for vet care. Cats only is a plus if your beast gets scared or distracted by dogs.

Very hit and miss. Some drs are great (Dr. Torres answered all of my questions via phone when my cat was at the end of her life and I had to come to terms with euthanasia) but I have had multiple experiences of not being able to get a call or email back from anyone.

Ehudy Escobar

It is necessary to make an appointment to be attended, it is required to do it online through a form (for dental care and specialized things you have to dial directly). The day of your pet's appointment, when you arrive at the parking lot you have to dial to notify and wait inside your car, shortly after they tell you to go to the door to leave the pet, you must wait in the car for what dial the vet to have the consultation. It sounds weird, but the service is good and very attentive. (Update; Apparently care is now in-person on-site as COVID restrictions have been relaxed in the County.) It is important to highlight that they send you the instructions and generalities of the consultation by mail, which is perfect for you to keep your record. They also sell medicines on site or the vet gives you a recommendation if you want to buy them elsewhere so you can get what you need for treatment. I preferred to purchase it on the site, and the medicine kit comes with detailed instructions and everything needed to administer the medicine to the cat. I highly recommend them for kitten care. They also sent me a tracking card for my cat a few weeks later, which was a nice touch.
