I was traveling through Joshua Tree and my cat needed to see a vet asap. They aren’t taking new patients, but they were able to see him at their walk-in clinic. It costs more but was well worth it (just get there when it starts bc they fill up fast!). My cat ended up needing quite a bit of care. The Dr was super kind and went over all the options. I really appreciated that she was conscious of cost, and I didn’t feel shamed about what I was able to do based on finances. My cat got the care, treatment, and follow-up to get him feeling better and us back on the road. We ended up going in 3 times over 2 weeks (diagnostic, treatment, follow-up). The office folks kept in touch throughout that time and all of the staff was amazing through the whole process!!
