Island Cats Veterinary Hospital

Love this vet! They are friendly and professional and charge fair prices. They have squeezed us in when my cat got sick a couple of times. Very helpful, great environment, great people.

Love the folks at Island Cats. Just straight forward gentle cat care. No big up sells or unnecessary testing. Even shots are no big deal for Boo, our 6 year old indoor-​outdoor cat.

I love Island Cats! They are truly cat people and they just «get it» ! It’s evident that the staff are happy, with friendly attitudes. Island Cats has convenient and quick on line booking and the costs with each visit seem reasonable. The care for my cats has been exactly at the level I’ve wanted, without being pushed into treatments I didn’t think were necessary.

Dr. Gary Marshall and the Island Cats staff are truly wonderful. I brought my kitten here yesterday and was pleased by how thorough and patient Dr. Marshall was; we didn’t feel rushed at all, but rather welcomed and truly cared for. The staff was great, too. I could tell that everyone here genuinely cares about our four-​legged friends. Will definitely be taking my little girl back here next time!

We are now bringing our third generation of kitties to Island Cats. Dr. Marshall and his staff truly care about our cats, from kittenhood to support during a grieving process, and everything in between. Boarding services at Island Cats are also terrific, like a spa stay for the cats. Dr. Marshall also works with us to find affordable medication options when needed, and is always quickly responsive via phone and email when we have questions. We love Island Cats!

Been to every vet on the Island and most in Bellevue. I’ve been going here for about a year and my search has ended. They truly care about cats and are sensitive to owner’s needs as well. Just had to euthanize a beloved pet and could not ask
for better care and concern than we both received. Many thanks!

Extremely pleased with this veterinarian! I am picky about my veterinary selection and Dr. Marshall is exceptional. He is careful and patient during examination, very knowledgable, and obviously is a feline expert. Top quality care from an excellent veterinarian at an affordable price. A rare and valuable find!

We just moved to MI so I brought my cat in the other day because her urine had a strong ammonia smell. We have been dealing with this issue on and off for the past year & my previous vet always prescribed antibiotics, which would help for a bit, but never a lasting fix. First, I greatly appreciate Dr. Marshall being kind enough to still see us when we were running late (my 2 yr old came too). Then he suggested something for my cat that I never encountered before: a special cat food. C/​D multicare urinary stress cat food, which he gave me a sample to try (maybe he read the skepticism on my face?). And it’s working! I’m so happy that I can breathe now while cleaning up after her! I was considering a HAZMAT suit!

Dr. Marshall and his staff are super friendly and caring. I took my (fat) cat in for an annual checkup and vaccination. He took the time to explain my options in terms of different types of vaccination. He was so gentle and sweet with my man-​hating cat. The total bill was about $ 100. I am not sure if that’s the going price, but I am happy with the quality of their service.

This place is wonderful! We moved to the area 2 years ago and I was so worried we weren’t going to be able to find a comparable place to our last vet that we loved. But, the staff at Island Cats is outstanding. I feel that my cats receive very good care every time we go and I never feel rushed.

We drive miles through Seattle and I-​90 every time we take one of our cats to see Dr. Marshall, and it is always – unquestionably – worth it. I have never met a vet who takes as much time and care with his patients. His knowledge about cats and their particular health issues – often different from dogs’ – has helped our cats time and time again. We have three cats, each with unique health issues, and each time we see Dr. Marshall he takes lots of time with us, asks great questions, listens to all of our concerns, and never makes us feel rushed. We’ve taken our cats to several other well-​reviewed vets all over Seattle before finding Island Cats. Dr. Marshall is worth every penny and every mile.

Just found this place on Unilocal.I was nervous picking a new vet, and honestly now I couldn’t be happier. The staff and Dr. Marshall are great. They’re professional, but also really friendly. They answered all of my questions, and even did a followup check to make sure things where going okay.
The new medication I’m giving my older cat has made her happier, and helped her gain back some weight. End result happier old kitty. happy human.

I have been going to Island Cat Vet for 10+ years. Dr Marshall is amazing and my cat adores him. He truly wonderful vet with a gift for taking care of cats, especially my difficult cat. Thank you Dr. Marshall!

I have been bringing my cats here for years and years. They are very kind and genuinely seem to care for my fellas.
They referred me to a great surgeon several years ago when one of my boys needed some emergency work done. Took great care of him. I think the doctor is a Coug and they have a great veterinary program at WSU. Even when I moved to Gig Harbor I kept coming back.

I cannot believe that I have not written a review for the team at Island Cats before today. I have been taking my cats here for years and could not imagine taking them anywhere else. My cats have traveled and during those travels, have needed to visit other vets, but none come close to the care and expertise you get from Dr. Marshall and his amazing team.
There are lots of words that I could use and lots of situations that I could share, but that would be a novel and most people reading this are looking for the nuts and bolts of the review and want to know if this is a great place to take their beloved fuzzy friend. I say yes. I can share with you that this team and these people go beyond what is expected from a specialty vets office. They have heart. I have seen them on more than one occasion feel for not only the ailing kitty, but the owner as well. They have an ability to care and sooth without making it awkward or uncomfortable. The love they have for their job and their patients is real and passionate. They have seen my fuzzy band of merry meow makers through good times and in some cases, through the passing, and I am grateful for everything they do.
If you are looking for heart, expertise, knowledge, laughter, and a family practice that will make you and your fuzzy one feel cared for and special, this is the place to go.

My family has been taking our cats (8) total to Island Cats and Dr. Marshall for 20 years. He and his staff have the highest integrity and professionalism, compassion, honesty, thoroughness and caring. Dr. Marshall came in on his day off to treat my elderly cat and was very honest about his prognosis. He listens and never tries to up sell any treatments and makes you feel involved with any and all decisions. I highly recommend Island Cats.

Dr. Gary Marashall is amazing with cats, my family has been taking our pets here for years. From everything to anything Dr. Marshall can help treat any of your cats. Especially if they like to get in cat fights.
Last year I took my kitten Salem to Dr. for dietary issues. Dr. Marshall was great on runnign tests and narrowing it down and helping find the best diet for Salem.
What I love the most is Island cats really cares about your kitties and listens to what your concerns are.
I feel Island cats is some of the best cat care you can find in seattle and I am so thankful for all their help over the years!

Island Cats is a great place for cats. My male rescue cat is very needy and often afraid of dogs, and having the option of using a vet that specializes in cats is perfect for us. The Dr. has been treating my cat for anxiety and urinating outside the box, and since we discovered the anxiety and treated it with medication, he has been great. I would highly recommend Island Cats to anyone!

I found Island Cat online and picked them based on distance from my home and the fact that it is a cat clinic only. I found the exam room to be clean and quiet, no barking, and my cat was at ease as much as he could be at a vet. I didn’t think the cost was high for a visit and rabies vaccine. I liked that the doctor steered me away from other vaccines due to his age and likely hood of illness being slim. I never liked taking him into a clinic for one issue and leaving with a huge bill from all the vaccines shot into him whether he needed them or not. Overall I was very pleased with the experience and will continue to take my cats there.

I brought my kitten here after an unsatisfactory experience with another vet and I’m really glad I did.
Dr. Monahan was really fantastic and practical with me about exactly what was going on with my kitten and how her prognosis would play out over the next few weeks. There was no fast talk here, and no upsell on expensive and unnecessary services, just an honest, ethical conversation.
