i need to bring my kitty into the vet soon and i was wondering if anyone would recommend either the cat doctor or the fairmount animal hospital.

i'm looking for a low-cost place as i'm a student, and i want to make sure i'm not taking him anywhere that has a bad reputation

There are two pages of posts from 2005 regarding vets in Fairmount. We still use Cindy on Girard Avenue.

i can't seem to find the thread, if you have the link and don't mind sending it over, please do!

also, how much does a routine check-up cost and what does it include?
