But these vets and their wonderful staff took excellent care of my babies, and when Phoebe was diagnosed with CRF in 2005, they went far beyond that in helping me deal with it. They taught me how to do fluids at home, and tolerated my anxious phone calls when Phoebe was hospitalized. When the end came, I had Phoebe's favorite vet there, and her favorite tech. They stayed with me afterwards even though it was Saturday morning and very busy. They always gave me options without regard to cost and were honest with me about possibilities for life. So naturally when I adopted three more from our local shelter, back I went. Now the oldest of those three is also in kidney failure and they are doing a wonderful job helping me deal with this, again. -- 3/11/08 - <a href="mailto:KarieWCPA@aol.com">Karen Wilson</a></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table class="MsoNormalTable" style="width: 100%;" border="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="padding: 0.75pt; width: 35%;" valign="top" width="35%"> <p class="MsoNormal"><br> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">VCA Wiles Road Animal Hospital&nbsp; <br> Dr. Paula Engle&nbsp; <br> 7460 Wiles Rd <br> Coral Springs, FL 33067&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://mapq.st/L4po2V" target="_blank">Map</a> <br> (954) 752-1879 <br> Fax (954) 341-3834&nbsp; <br> <a href="http://www.vcawilesroad.com" target="_blank">http://www.vcawilesroad.com</a></p> </td> <td style="padding: 0.75pt;" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><br> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Dr. Johnston is no longer with the clinic.&nbsp; I also used Dr. Engle who is also excellent and I would recommend her to anyone.&nbsp; I used them both when Alf was sick.&nbsp; Dr. Engle I have been using&nbsp; for years.&nbsp; Probably as long as she has been with the clinic..&nbsp; --- <a href="mailto:Mrgmailbox@aol.com">Juli Van Der Meulen, Bruce and Alf Angel</a> </p> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"> <hr align="center" size="2" width="100%"> </div> <p class="MsoNormal">Dr. Engle has been treating my cat Boca for almost five years.&nbsp; Under her kind, attentive, and highly professional care, Boca's health has improved tremendously.&nbsp; Thanks to Dr. Engle, Boca is a healthy and happy twelve year old cat thoroughly enjoying his retirement days in South Florida!&nbsp; <a href="mailto:derekstein10@lycos.com">Derek D.

The owner, Dale Rubenstein, DVM, ...&nbsp; has some very excellent credentials. She is also excellent with the cats and is very communicative with clients ...&nbsp; one of the many things I liked about her was her receptiveness to having a client who can use and understand "vetspeak" and who does a lot of research on his/her own and has opinions on veterinary issues. She also initiates and returns phone calls and emails with clients. I've sent her a number of research articles on interesting aspects of veterinary interest (e.g., the recently started "rabies challenge study" to determine the real efficacy and need for boosters for rabies vaccinations). She always replies and offers her take on the things I send her. She understands why I do not vaccinate my cats any more (most are old and have chronic ailments and compromised immune systems), and accepts that. As you know, many vets resent clients who have, and exercise, their lay knowledge of things veterinary, and who take their roles as pet parents and as their animals' advocates seriously ... She actually appreciates that approach. She will also do housecalls for established clients.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 01/04/07 - Dick Weavil, Rockville, MD</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding: 0.75pt;" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><br> Three Notch Veterinary Hospital <br> Dr. Jennifer M.

After scouring ten of Cleveland's west side suburbs, Avon Animal Hospital, owned by Dr. Martti Putkonen, was the only practice to be found with the Doppler equipment to do proper feline blood pressure testing and years of experience in using it and treating the feline hypertension so profoundly important to the CRF cat. Practitioner Dr. Anita Poling, a cat owner and lover herself, takes a special interest in feline renal failure and is on top of all the latest findings including Ohio State's Dr. Larry Nagode's Calcitriol studies and is a regular user of the therapy. This is also the practice that sells a Kidney Failure Diet Package, a sampler of most, if not all, of the available canned and dry prescription renal diets available for our all too finicky CRF cats to taste test. -- Rachel Taylor</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding: 0.75pt;" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><br> Rainbow Veterinary Clinic <br> Dr. Linda Mitchell&nbsp; <br> 2636 Noble Road&nbsp; <br> Cleveland Heights, OH 44118&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://mapq.st/L8EyEg" target="_blank">Map</a> <br> Voice:&nbsp; 216-291-3931&nbsp; <br> Fax: 216-291-3961 <br> Does House Calls <br> &nbsp;<a href="http://www.rainbowvet.com" target="_blank">http://www.rainbowvet.com</a></p> </td> <td style="padding: 0.75pt;" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><br> I've been very pleased with my vet and would recommend her to others treating CRF kitties (or any other kitties for that matter).&nbsp; She has been very helpful, is knowledgeable about CRF and has been cooperative about helping me keep costs down by giving prescriptions when I find cheaper online sources.&nbsp; </p> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"> <hr align="center" size="2" width="100%"> </div> <p class="MsoNormal">I would like to add my support to Dr. Linda Mitchel of Ohio listed on your web site.&nbsp; Only, she is no longer with Blue Cross Hospital;&nbsp; she's hung out her own shingle and can be found at Rainbow Vet Clinic,&nbsp; 2636 Noble Road, Cleveland Heights, OH 44118.&nbsp; I had a diabetic, later&nbsp; CRF cat and we loved Dr. Mitchell who greatly assisted us in doing&nbsp; home care when feasible.&nbsp; She also has days where she will come to the&nbsp; house thus lessening stress on the cat (and mom of a toddler). &nbsp; <br> <a href="mailto:devorahhoffman@hotmail.com">Devorah Hoffman</a> 5/16/06</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding: 0.75pt;" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal">The Cat Doctor <br> Dr. Meredith Weller <br> 6742 Cleveland Ave <br> Columbus, OH 43231&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://binged.it/L8EBjB" target="_blank">Map </a><br> (614) 899-2287<a href="http://www.catdoctorcolumbus.com/" target="_blank"><br> http://www.catdoctorcolumbus.com/ </a></p> </td> <td style="padding: 0.75pt;" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><br> I would highly recommend Dr. Meredith Weller ... for critically ill cats or healthy cats.&nbsp; I have been taking my boys to Dr. Weller for over 16 years since they were babies.&nbsp; I lost one of my boys in June (2008) and the other one has chronic renal failure and will soon be gone.&nbsp; Dr. Weller has been an excellent doctor through all the years and illnesses that we have faced.&nbsp; <a href="mailto:dlfooce@stephensassoc.com">Denise Fooce</a> -- 12/5/08</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding: 0.75pt;" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal"><br> Cats Only Vet Clinic&nbsp; <br> Cynthia L.

She understands the limits of feline cooperation and helped with alternatives when needed.&nbsp; Quality of life and comfort are embedded in her actions. When the time came, she provided caring guidance in determining when further intervention for Mefed's HCM would have been for my benefit rather than Mefed's. She is providing the same high standard of care for my cat Sidana, now 17, who was diagnosed with CRF nearly five years ago.

Dr. Lobb is thorough and caring. Concerned about quality of life for the animal. Listens to you and your concerns and ideas. Appreciates the financial considerations of the pet owner. I can't say enough good things about this clinic. If you are fortunate enough to have a feline only vet in your area I highly recommend checking them out.&nbsp; -- Christina Ferguson</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <hr align="left" size="4" width="100%"> </div> </div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"> <hr align="center" size="2" width="100%"> </div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><a name="wisconsin"></a>&nbsp;</p> <table class="MsoNormalTable" style="width: 100%;" border="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="padding: 0.75pt; width: 35%;" width="35%"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Wisconsin</span></i></b></p> </td> <td style="padding: 0.75pt;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: right;" align="right"><a href="#top"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><img src="backto.gif" border="0" height="24" width="117"></span></a></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding: 0.75pt; width: 35%;" valign="top" width="35%"> <p class="MsoNormal"><br> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Pewaukee Veterinary Service <br> Drs.
