Incredible experience at Florida aid to animals. The vet was extremely kind and worked with me when I couldn’t afford the full cost to treat my sick kitten. Very compassionate people here I’m so thankful to have found this place. They may have saved my kittens life. View on Google (opens in new tab)

My mom brought our cat to get ear drops put in my cat's ears. The vet was insistent that the drops don't get in her eyes. Will the tech put so much drops in the cat shook its ears and drops went all over the place from my cats face to the walls.
