Peace, Be still

ASPCA has been a Godsend! This was my second time utilizing their services and I am amazed again. It is a bit challenging to get an appointment, but when you do they truly work with you to get your FurBaby Happy and Healthy! Two of my cats needed to have teeth removed. In total I paid under $450 to have multiple teeth removed, bloodwork, ex-rays and teeth cleaning. In addition, I've used their mobile services to get my Babies spayed and neutered. Just follow the instructions online to secure an app. It's $125 which is a steal compared to private vets. The staff is out of this world; They are attentive, kind, knowledgable in their field and compassionate! I can't afford a lot, but I will be making monthly donations even if it's five dollars. Please donate as much as you can even if it's a dollar! Our Furry Friends will truly appreciate it!

Everyone here is so nice, it's my first time coming here because my cat had a limp. Called at 8am and got an appointment for the next day for 8am, the waiting room was spacious and extremely clean and front desk were kind and fast with the process. I only waited 30ish minutes to be called because higher emergency takes priority which is understandable and I did not mind. There's a dog section and cat section that I did not know until I left 😅 The only thing that I did not realize until I got home with my cat was that while the vet explained everything while checking my cat and all, did not explain thoroughly of the side affects the opioid would do to my cat, only told me the drug name and advising for me to not touch it. However I should've asked myself the side effects as well, so that was also on me, my cat is now doing slightly better but is still a space cat. She did however explain thoroughly everything else such as the bloodwork, feeling my cat, etc But I also liked how they called me to update her on the results the next day and checking up to see on how my cat is doing/feeling. Overall I really liked the vets and how the treated me and my cat with kindness and patience, as well as front desk. It felt very comfortable there, I got sent with pain killers for her which I will start giving her once the opioid is out of her system. I recommend this place to anyone if their pet has a emergency that needs to be checked within the week ❤️ Update: It's been more than a week or two now and my cat is much better, no longer has the limp and the drug wore off about 3 days after. However she's now way more affectionate compared to before, still bites hard when playing but REALLY likes pets now. Back then she would only let me pet her for a few seconds and then bite me. But now she comes to my hand and sleeps on my arm

Additional: I was also dissatisfied with the female receptionist and the female security guard: they did not know the hospital's services and actually told me that the hospital did not offer cesarean sections! Fortunately, I got an appointment for surgery the next day. The stray cat my mom rescued unexpectedly became pregnant. When she started bleeding, I rushed her to a mobile veterinary clinic for a prenatal checkup. The vet told me she needed an emergency C-section—and the cost would be $1,750, which I simply couldn’t afford. Thanks to a suggestion from ChatGPT, I reached out to the ASPCA for help. To my surprise, they scheduled the surgery the very same day, and based on my income, I only needed to pay $212.50. I was overjoyed and so relieved for my cat! Dr. An，the veterinarian, was incredibly kind and patient. He even arranged interpreter services to make sure I fully understood the medical terms. The surgery went smoothly, and the very next day, Dr. An called to let me bring home the proud new mama and her tiny kittens. I am deeply grateful to the entire ASPCA team for their compassion and dedication. Because of them, my cat and her babies are safe and healthy. I hope to give back in the future by donating to the ASPCA, so this circle of kindness can continue. ❤️
