Cats Only Veterinary Clinic - Norman, Oklahoma

I had a 3-legged rescue cat named Princess who I brought to her because her stump got very infected. ASPCA Bella said they wanted to remove the entire stump all the way to the hip but I fealt that would be very traumatic on an older cat and asked Dr. Leopard if she thought a partial surgery could be successfully accomplished, and she said she thought so, so I let her do it. She said she got rid of the granulomas, pulled the muscle over the bone, stitched her up, and said she thought the surgery was a success and said she gave me a discount making the bill $600 instead of $1,000. Everything seemed fine for 6 months but then she got a UTI so I took her to Cats Only and she was put on antibiotics which seemed to clear it up. Then she started getting constipated so I took her in to Cats Only and they gave her an enema twice. Then one morning I noticed she had a bad smell at her stump area and to my horror there was green pus...the stump infection returned on Thanksgiving! So we rushed her to an emergency vet in Norman. They told me the infection had spread throughout her body and there was no saving her. My wife and I held her while they put her to sleep. They told me the reason she was getting UTIs and constipation problems was because of the infection.
I called Dr. Leopard and asked her "when I brought her in for an enema didn't anybody bother to look at the stump area to examine that area?" She was VERY rude and said she wasn't paid for an exam. I said but it doesn't take much to glance your eyeball just a few inches from where the enema was being applied. She then got very angry and said she would not tolerate me questioning her professionalism and banned me from her clinic (I was never going back anyway) and said she thought the arthritis shots were more important and that the enemas were useless! She never cared to do a follow-up, a minor check up on her surgical work, or have her staff call to check on Princess and I asked her if the patient was more important or does she just see her patients as gold mines? I think she sees them as gold mines! I wish I had listened to Bella.

We took both of my son's cats here to be fixed. Within 3 days of being fixed both died. Both never urinated again after surgery. We know because we had a new litter box set up for when they came home and it wasn't used either time. I don't know what the vet did but it isn't a coincidence that they both died of the same symptoms. I will never use this vet again and don't suggest anyone else use it either.

I posted a review back in 2016 when this happened. It's been removed. Posting again because people deserve to know the treatment isn't always good here.

She always knows what we need and has it on hand. The staff is friendly and helpful. Walter Pete and Zee are forever grateful for the services provided here.

I called today to see about prices for two cats first round of shots and the young lady who answered the phone was very rude and actually hung up on me. She seemed rushed and bothered that I was asking questions so needless to say, I won’t be bringing our cats there but I will be taking them to The Cat Clinic here in Norman as the young lady that answered their phone was so kind and patient with all my questions and broke down the price for each vaccination and so forth.

Dr. Leopard and her staff were so kind. They explained everything and answered all my questions. Dr. Leopard even called the next day to see how my cat was doing. We went over his treatment plan again, and she made sure I didn't have any more questions. She's amazing and her staff is top-notch. Thank you!

I had to leave my cat with them to board for an extended period of time and when I returned my fur baby was in excellent health and didn't seem anxious or ready to go home because he had been well cared for and comfortable. Only being around other cats with no dogs barking seemed the best choice for boarding. I felt confident that if anything happened the veterinarian would care for my fur baby's health. Excellent service at a reasonable price. Thank you for taking such good care of my fur baby!

I took my fiancés cat in for her shots and to get her face checked out since her third eye eyelid things have been swollen and more prominent. I will admit I’m a dog guy and never had a cat but I wasn’t pleased by the way they handled her. I get you’re supposed to scruff a cat but I didn’t understand the shaking during the scruffing while holding her down and when they were drawing her blood for testing they gave her a pretty gnarly hematoma on her leg. When I brought up my concerns about the cats swollen eyelids the dr said it was normal and I told her it wasn’t because it’s definitely WAY more noticeable than it’s ever been and she just told me to monitor it and bring her back if it doesn’t improve. Which means another big vet bill and there exam fee is $75 every time. Not only that but we called back in today because our cat didn’t eat dinner or breakfast this morning and she threw up. When we called they said we would have to pay an emergency vet bill if we wanted her to be checked out today. Over all super unhappy with this clinic and I’ve already spoke with my finance about finding another vet for her.

We have recently started taking ours cats to For Cats Only in Norman. Dr Leopard is our daughter’s cat vet and I was introduced to her when I would take our daughter’s cats into her office. I was always impressed with the care and attention the cats received and decided to change vets. I feel like Dr Leopard is very knowledgeable about cat health and cares about the cats. She wants the best for the cats and doesn’t hesitate to let you know what you need to be doing for your cat. I am extremely confident in the care they get at For Cats Only.
