About Summer Street Cat Clinic

Summer Street Cat Clinic was established over 40 years ago and has been highly regarded in the communities with a very loyal and growing clientele. There are two locations: Getzville and Buffalo which are just 20 minutes apart. Our Getzville location borders the State University at Buffalo. We have lots of walking trails right outside the hospital and a backyard to relax in. Our downtown Buffalo location is a beautifully renovated carriage house that offers a historical vibe having been built in the late 1800’s and located in the heart of the historical district. This location is very cozy, efficient, and charming. Clients are known to go back and forth between the two as well as our team members, but we are flexible to your needs.

Our services consist of preventative medicine, behavior consultations, weight management and nutrition, surgery, and dentistry. Digital radiology and cardiac ultrasound.
