Dr Nancy Matthews and all the staff at A Cat's View Veterinary Hospital are just fabulous. It is the type of vet that all animal lovers dream of. When you meet with Dr Matthews, you never feel rushed. She takes her time to know about the owner as well as the cats. My cats have seen other vets before (vets who have more dog patients), but in terms of "cat-side" manner, Dr Matthews and all her staff are champions.Ask yourself this:- does your vet take blood pressure? (saved my 13yr old cat's life)- does your vet draw blood or give injections in the examination room in your presence? Good owners help calm their cats. Now I wonder why my previous vets/vet tech have to take my cats to the back room and how they were treated back there.I truly believe that she has saved my cats' life with her advice on diets and care of my cats as if they were her own fur babies.If I have known A Cat's View earlier, my other cats may still be around enjoying their senior years.Yes, the location may not be in your neighborhood, and even though my cats don't like car rides, it is well worth it to bring my cats there twice (or a few times) a year to get trusted advice and diagnosis.

Dr. Nancy Matthews and staff are the most amazing bunch of cat lovers. Every time I have been in my kitties are treated like royalty. Even my shyest girl loves it here.

If you happen to have stumbled upon this vet, this is you and your kitty's lucky day!I have moved a whole lot, which means many new vets for my cats. I have not found a more comprehensive or caring vet staff in all my years with cats.This vet is very clearly operated with so much genuine care for kitties. Dr. Matthews is kind, patient, and incredibly thorough. She works hard to help you understand every question you have and has now given me advice after having cats my entire life, that I wasn’t even aware of.Oh, and for those on a budget, their pricing is incredibly reasonable (being very familiar with what they charge at other vets.)I can not recommend this place enough.

Don't know what my daughter would do without A Cat's View. The most incredible care I've seen from a vet. She genuinely cares about each patient. If you have a cat, this is the place to go for all veterinary needs.

our family had only been here in VC for about a week when we brought in our 18 year old kitty, Felix. The staff couldn't have been more kind and loving towards me during the visit. Unfortunately, after running a few tests, we confirmed what I already knew. It was time to say goodbye to my old man. They gave as much time as they could (with my 4 kids in tow) to say goodbye to my boy and one tech even watched my 2 month old for a few minutes so I could have some extra time with him. I was a complete mess, and the staff handled it so beautifully. They even put some of his fur in heart-shaped lockets as gifts for myself and my children. It doesn't end there, though. When picking up his ashes, there were more memorial gifts from them. A Cats view goes above and beyond and will forever be our choice when it comes to taking care of our kitties. Thank you, A Cats View, for doing what you do with such compassion.

Doc and her staff have been amazing to our cats and there is no one else we would trust with our babies. Kudos to doc because she really loves what she does and truly cares for your kitties like they are her own and her staff are just as loving, caring and attentive. If you are looking for a vet, look no further, doc and her staff will welcome your cat/ kitty with open arms and you will have the peace of mind knowing that they are truly in great hands because our cats are living proof.

Great service! The Vet, Dr. Matthews is very compassionate and took lots of time to explain everything to us. Our kitty was not stressed at all and that’s the most important thing to us! The techs were excellent as well!

Be careful with this Vet, we didn't have a good expereince our first time, we've not gone back. The staff was helpful but the doctor wasn't easy on our cat, not a good expereince at all for our cat and for just a blood test. The homey atomsphere does throw you off. The doctor seems to be looking, very diligently, for major illness's such as cancer and to do dental procedures (you're warned of "very expensive" dental procedures becuase they supposedly do it the the right way). You're not given an estimate, just that they're expensive. There's many other vets that do very fine dental procedures for very reasonable prices. If your welcomed with information from the doctor to find money to care for your pet if you don't have a lot of and you're given ways to find the money, ie; credit, get a second opinion.

I am so happy that my daughter told me about A Cat's View Veterinary. She takes her three cats there and loves Dr. MATTHEWS. I took my Tyrone there for his 4 year check up and was so very pleased. Doctor MATTHEWS and Patrick were so gentle with Tyrone. He loved them. They were thorough, kind and very informative. I learned a lot about nutrition which was very helpful. Please, if you have cats go to A Cat's View Veterinary.

My cat, Toby, actually likes going to this vet clinic! He purrs, kneads, and is affectionate when he is there. They give him such good treatment and they are considerate of the client's budget and treatment preference. This is a great place to bring your felines, especially if they require a calm, quiet atmosphere. The staff is kind and Dr. Matthews is gentle, informative, and gives treatment options. All around, it's a nice experience to bring my cat here.

Dr. Matthews, I called on Wednesday night about having a cat that was at the end of life and left a message about getting an appointment for the following day to have one of my cats euthanized and said not to bother Dr. Matthews at night but please let them know that I would like to bring one of my cats in the next day. I waited and did not receive a call in the morning so I called and talked to Mel about bring the cat in for the end of life, she said she would talk to you and call me back. 3 1/2 hours later I ended up calling back and was told that Dr. Matthews was too busy that day but that she could see me next week, she then suggested that I call an end of life service in Temecula to come to the house, I had looked them up and for $445 they would schedule a time. After more that 15 years and many cats, some of them your Bengal kittens, I would have thought that I would have received better treatment and maybe even a phone call to confirm that you were in fact too busy to help with my cat who was at the end of it's life. Your receptionist, Mel who I had to call back was less than helpful and and found that the whole incident left me feeling like I was more of a bother than a long term customer of A Cat's View. I ended up having to find another vet who was kind enough to help with my suffering cat and was able to fit me in in my time of need. To say the least I was disappointed with the way you and our office handled my situation. Michael Leichliter.

If you have cats, this is the only place to go. We have never been SO happy with a vet and staff! We feel confident that our fur babies are receiving the best care, by people who love cats as much as we do. Professional, accredited, knowledgeable. Best referral ever, and best decision ever. You will not go wrong. Dr. Nancy Matthews, and everyone there, are simply amazing!

Dr. Matthews and staff are experts in cats. She is the only true cat vet left in San Diego County. I have trusted her and her team for years with our cats and particularly like that she specializes in only cats. Dr. Matthews is warm, caring and competent. She is constantly studying to up on all the latest. She knows old and new techniques, is practical yet advocates for what the cat needs. Recently, my 4 year old former feral cat needed to have broken and rotted teeth removed. We had the procedure done on June 19, 2023. My cat stayed for several days to insure she was getting the oversight and care she needed. I learned the hard way about the importance of feral oral hygiene and care with the passing of my former cat who never had thorough oral exams and died of an oral sarcoma (pre-A Cat's View). Veterinary care takes investment and trust. I drive one hour, one way to see Dr. Matthews and it's worth every bit of time and gas. I never wonder if I'm getting correct counsel. And they have a cat hotel too..a wonderful service for when I have to go out of town for work.

I highly recommend them! In my case, I brought in my 18yr cat and they were very gentle and very thorough.I've been to many vets for her over the years for a variety of issues, and most of the time I had a little time to talk to the nurse and five seconds with the vet. Not here!The nurses were very kind and the vet spent her valuable time explaining everything in detail. Not only that, I was given options regarding the treatment. They are my go-to place going forward.
