Serenity Cat Hospital

Pros:
–These folks really love cats, which makes me feel secure that my cat is in safe hands.
–Very reasonable costs for services. My cat was neutered for $ 65 and I got all of his shots (including boosters, rabies and feline leukemia testing and vaccine) for $ 125.
–The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about cats. They made sure to let me know what brands of flea shampoo are safe and won’t irritate my cat’s skin.
–It’s relatively quiet. Waiting room wasn’t very busy both times I was there.
–Flexible scheduling. They were able to fit me in pretty much any time I asked for. When I forgot to bring my cat in on a Thursday morning, they called me that day and told me they could fit me in that afternoon. I asked to be rescheduled for the next morning, and they accommodated me.
Cons:
–The office smells slightly of urine, which I suppose can’t be much helped.
–It is located on Taft Hwy, which is a bit out of the way for some folks in Bakersfield. Again, this can’t really be helped.
–When I brought my cat in for shots, they did not invite me into the exam room. I’ve been asked into the exam room during my other veterinary experiences (at Banfield or Mt. Vernon), so I was a bit surprised that I was expected to wait in the waiting room. However the exam room is adjacent to the waiting room and I could hear everything that was going on in there, so I felt my cat was safe. He’s a whiner, so if anything is upsetting him I can hear it. He was fine throughout the examination, and I could hear the vets verbally comforting/​reassuring him.
Overall, I would highly recommend this place for all cat owners who want their cat to have a safe, friendly experience for a relatively low cost.

Great cat hospital. They were able to get me in the day I called and were really compassionate about my 6 year old cat’s ailment. They gave treatment right away and with gentle hands.
They were very upfront about how much everything costs so you can plan for the expenses.
The office is going to call me tomorrow to ask me how my cat is doing.
