Cat Clinic of Fernandina — Local services in Fernandina Beach

I cannot say enough good things about The Cat Clinic of Fernandina. A month ago my sweet 17 year old cat fell ill and after spending a fortune at the local emergency vet, we still didn’t have answers. I called the cat clinic and told them what was going on and they got my girl in within a few days, spent a good amount of time with us, handled my girl so well, and gave Lucy a shot and said to come back in a month. That shot gave us another few weeks with my kitty and the visit was also were very affordable. Yesterday I called them at opening because Lucy had declined dramatically. They said, we have a full schedule but bring her in and we will examine her as soon as we can. A few hours late the Dr. called said that they were as concerned as I was. They could run the diagnostics, do all the tests, but likely the outcome would be the same. My girl was dying. They offered for me to come in and have her euthanized there with them, they would handle the cremation and I was shocked at the affordability of the whole process as the places I had researched were hundreds of dollars more for these services.

They were very compassionate, patient, let us have the time we needed with her, let my children come in and say goodbye, they shaved some hair for me to keep and worked very hard to get a decent paw print after her passing.

I would recommend The Cat Clinic of Fernandina...

We love this Veterinarian. We have four cats, and my wife runs a TNR program in our community, so we handle a lot of cats. Dr. Mercerau and her staff are so caring and dedicated. Two examples: One of our old cats had been having problems for years, and it was obviously time to stop the hurting. Dr. M had helped care for Archie for almost two years, and when we brought him in, we could see the tears in her eyes as she gave him his final meds. She hurt as much as we did! Then, we rescued a wobbly kitty. Since they're not open on Tuesdays, we went to another local vet to look at a discharge around her eyes. The vet looked at her, gave me a prescription, and we were out in five minutes. Her eyes did not get better, so we took her in to see Dr. M. Not only did she prescibe new meds (that were extremely effective), she also did a whole checkup on her. She noticed an extruded hernia that no one had mentioned before, and her staff trimmed her nails, and generally loved on her. She may be a little more pricey than other vets in the area, but in our book, she's definitely worth it. She cares about her patients, and so...

I love this clinic. I just got off the phone with Stephanie about one of my cats and it dawned on me that I don't think I've ever left a review of this place! They are my current vet for all of my cats and I wouldn't want it any other way. My cats are all seniors, so there have been quite a few stressful experiences that the staff at Cat Clinic has been so diligent and careful towards handling. They tolerate my hysteria and craziness when I think one of my cats is going downhill, and I couldn't be more grateful to have such a generous, thorough, intelligent, caring and loving staff taking care of my babies! I've been using their clinic for over a decade. I used to hate the fact that they were closed on Tuesdays but honestly, I believe that's to prevent Dr. Mersereau from becoming burnt out and for that, I have no qualms. The prices are completely worth it too. She is the most thorough, competent, professional vet I have ever experienced, and her staff is just as amazing. I will always utilize their services and always recommend them to people. Love you,...
