Dr Skip Sullivan has always given my cats great care. One of my cats needed a dental cleaning but had a heart murmor - so I didnt want to put him under anesthesia. I actually got into a huge argument with the cat guy on the upper west side about it. Anyway - Dr Sullivan opened my cats mouth and chipped the tarter off himself and said there you go...done! Try and brush if you can but you dont need to put him under now.

Yes! It is a wonderful place to bring your cats!
We have been taking our cats for check-ups and boarding to The Cat Practice since 1982. Dr. Skip Sullivan is a dedicated and caring vet whose expertise in feline diagnosis and treatment is superb. He and his first-rate staff excel in sensitivity and have been treating cats of ours since 1982. The office and waiting area are neat and clean as is their well kept boarding facility. We often board our cats there when we go on vacation. While boarding, the cats get lots of attention and individualized care regarding diet, medication (if prescribed), daily brushing, and exercise. We also get updates on their stay. They even amuse the cats with videos of chirping birds!
In times of illness we have been welcomed to visit our cats daily.
The expertise and dedication of Dr. Sullivan and his staff have helped our cats live long healthy lives. We recommend the Cat Practice enthusiastically.

I boarded my cat with the Cat Practice over Thanksgiving and he couldn't have been happier. The staff was very attentive (both when he arrived and when he departed) and were careful to place him near friendly cats. The boarding and examination area are spotless (even when my boyfriend and I arrived at the end of the night unannounced) and smell clean. All the other cats I saw there seemed to be happy and were very well cared for. All the litter boxes had fresh litter, the food bowls has fresh wet food and the cages were otherwise tidy. I would recommend this place to owners who love their cats.

Great for people who like cats and for friendly boarders. Boarding facility and staff great. They get special attention and if friendly get to roam around the place. Let's be realistic though... people who go to the Cat Practice often are the owners of some pretty unruly felines. Aggressive cats do not like other cats period. Especially not while they are going through an exam, a very stressful event in and of itself. There are cats everywhere! My cat hated it. Even in the waiting room a random cat wandered up to her in her carrier and it was all over. I went to a "cat practice" in another state once and they had it all right. Spaced out appointments so only one cat in the lobby at a time, a private room with a door, and no other animals in the treatment room. I've never seen my cat behave better. This place has it all wrong.

Recently, my cat was howling at odd hours of the night for no apparent reason. He's 17 years old now and we were unsure if he was in pain or if this behavior was indicative of his old age. We took Hobbes to see Dr. Skip and discovered that Hobbes had severe gum desease and aging kidneys. After a course of antibiotics and vitamins for his kidneys, he's home, happy, and the howling has stopped. During his 3 day stay, I recieved periodic updates on his progress which put me at ease. I've always been pleased with the service from the Cat Practice that I have been receiving for the past 18 years. With such caring over these many years, Dr. Skip has become like family.
