Cat Care Clinic of Asheville at 364 Weaverville Road, Asheville, North Carolina.

Dr.Karel and all of her staff provided superior compassionate and expert care for my beloved cat Juniper. The visit for me was sorrowful as I learned that my boy was in heart failure with limited lung function. This was a shock as he had appeared to be a healthy 6 year old. Dr. Karel explained the situation to me in a direct yet compassionate way. She double checked the ex Ray,ruled out all other possibilities and gave me the information with which to make a humane decision to euthanize. Through this time she offered space for us to say our goodbyes, sprayed a towel with soothing pheromones and a vet tech gave my boy a meal. She attempted to drain his lungs to no avail. I held Juniper as he left this world. Upon leaving, I saw that a candle has been lit and a sign put out to let visitors know that a pet owner was losing family and to speak quietly. This touched my aching heart in a deep way. All of staff offered empathy and kindness. I appreciate the midwifery care he was provided as he exited this world. As I process his passing, my heart remains grateful for the space Dr.Karel provided.
