Cat & Exotic Care
“Dr. Conn and his staff at Cat & Exotic Care provide thorough, top-quality, care with compassion for both pets and their people! When my 11 year old kitty became ill in 2025, I reached out to our local cat rescue facility in Cambria to see who these feline-focused experts would recommend for the care my kitty needed. Without reservation, they recommended Cat & Exotic Care in Pismo Beach. It's a long way to drive but alas, I took the plunge with my sweet Maisy Rae (who I adore) and so appreciated the care they provided! For starters, they made the way to get Maisy in that day and they didn't speak a word of the inconvenience a tail-end-of-the-day visit was for them, but instead were focused on immediate care to a kitty in trauma. Within minutes of our arrival, with other customers in-clinic, we were in a private treatment room where Maisy's needs and mine were being carefully and thoroughly addressed, with both a clinical and financial attentiveness and the conservative approach we needed. Dr. Conn's assistant, May, was knowledgeable, engaging, and empathic and handled Maisy with exceptional care. Though our needs kept staff well after closing hours, never once was a word spoken about the time and never once did we feel rushed, much less did we feel pressured into making decisions that conflicted with my financial limitations or Maisy's quality of life. Dr. Conn was very detailed with his explanations, our options, and the progression of treatment that could potentially unfold with Maisy's treatment needs. Never once did I feel either shamed or compelled in one direction or the other. Maisy and I both left their office feeling much better than when we arrived, and Maisy has done progressively better each day with the treatment regimen they provided. 24 hours later I had the results of the blood work they had taken, and it was Dr. Conn himself who called to check on Maisy and to discuss the results of her bloodwork. I couldn't be more pleased with the care we received and will be back without hesitation. The best care ever!”
