Hi, Dr. Neely,
Calvin (my 4-year old orange tabby) and I want to THANK YOU and your staff for so quickly responding to our question re: the spots on Calvin's nose. It is a relief to know there's nothing to worry about! We have (3) cats but Calvin is the baby and we tend to worry about the baby of the family!!!
THANK YOU AGAIN! You are a wonderful resource!

Hi, I'm Dr. Neely and I've been an exclusively feline veterinarian for 18 years. From the time I was born, I was around kitties and can't remember ever not loving them. I've lived with feline friends all my life. At one time, I had 14! Now I have six. I attended veterinary school just to become a Cat Doctor so I could learn as much as possible about cat health pet care and anything cat-related. Since the moment I graduated, I have limited my practice to cat patients and cat medicines. Needless to say, I have come to know a great deal about our little domesticated felines.
This website allows me to help you and the cat you love and live with by sharing my vast experience and education with you regardless of the part of the world in which you live.
"Hi, Dr. Neely, Thank you! And by the way, your response to the lady who has a cat with thyroid problems and no money was really helpful! You covered every possible corner!! You’re a gem! I’m glad I know you." Sandi
There are a few things that set this website apart from others. Probably the greatest difference is that everything you read here is written by me, an expert in the field of cat medicines and surgery. There's nothing written by cat owners, vet assistants or technicians, journalists, or anyone else. Why is it a plus that all the information is written by me personally? I have both a veterinary doctorate degree and the personal experience of a long-time cat owner and lover. Elsewhere on the web, you may find your questions answered by a veterinary assistant or well-meaning cat owner. I have tremendous respect for both. However, when you're worried about your cat, you want the most experienced, knowledgeable answers.
Also, the fact that I have been a vet practicing exclusively feline health care for 18 years means I have treated many more cats than has a veterinarian with a traditional small animal practice. If you're looking for information about the cat, this is the place to find it.
"Hello, Thank you for all your help. It is great to have a website like this. I am very happy it was nothing serious.
Thanks again," Nicole S.
