A few years ago, my cat had kittens before I got her spayed. Once the kittens were old enough, I allowed a friend of mine to have one of the female kittens. I kept the other kittens and had them fixed when they were old enough. My friend, however, broke our agreement that he would get her spayed, so I took her back along with the two kittens that she had. To make matters worse, one of the kittens was completely wild and had diarrhea.

Since I was in the area, I took him to Concord Veterinary Services. I warned them that the kitten was completely wild and to be careful with him. They didn't believe me at first because the kitten was only eight weeks old.

When the veterinarian entered the room, she quickly realized that the cat was out of control. She put on very thick gloves that went up to her elbows. After she examined the kitten and gave me medicine for him, she proceeded to chew me out for the kitten being wild.

I told her that the kitten wasn't born at my house. How could it be my fault when I had the kitten for only one day? She accused me of lying and told me never to return there again with another animal that wild. I replied it was a non-issue because I was never coming there again period.

It was a very upsetting experience because I wasn't the type of person that she thought. It was even worse because I'd lost a good friend over taking the cat and two kittens away from him for not fixing the cat before she got pregnant. I didn't deserve to be accused of doing something wrong when I had actually done the exact opposite. Not to mention that I took the kitten immediately to the vet upon realizing it was sick.

My experience with Dr. Leonard has been just the opposite. I too had a cat that was very ill. We did several treatments on her and nothing worked. We then talked about my options for the cat and I chose to put her down. Dr. Leonard gave me a place in the back where I could sit with my cat and talk to her until I was ready to leave. I chose to have a necropsy done on my cat to see if there was anything else I could have done for her. When I returned to pick up the remains, Dr. Leonard explained that I had done the right thing because my cat was eaten up with cancer inside. They had packaged her remains in a box for me so I could bury her at home. Dr. Leonard hugged me and said how sorry she was. A few days later I received a very nice Sympathy card from her. This isn't the only time this office and the vet have shown compassion and sympathy for me and my family. It's much nicer than going to another vet in Appomattox who makes you pay before they'll even look at your animal
