Top Cat Veterinary Centre describes itself as independently owned (stated on its website). From the information available, it appears set up primarily for cats, with reviews repeatedly describing a quiet, cat-focused environment and staff who take time to explain diagnostic and treatment steps. Recent reviews also mention in-house blood tests with results within 24 hours, and cases involving scans and other diagnostic tests for cats, with regular communication during stressful investigations. A minority review raises concerns about delays in receiving test results, multiple paid rechecks for the same problem, and perceived “second guessing” on medications, so experiences around follow-up and costs appear mixed.

Very caring and professional. They were very, very busy in the run up to Christmas, but saw everyone. Also did blood tests at the centre so we found out why was wrong with our cat within 24 hours.

I can’t recommend Top Cat vets enough. Martin and all the team there are true cat lovers and are so emotionally invested in the welfare of the pets they take such great care of. We have spent a bit more time there of late as one of our cats was having some scans and diagnostic tests, with us fearing the worst, which was quite stressful for us. But the team were there every step of the way to guide us through the process with good communication and attention to detail. And fortunately this time, with a positive outcome. Thank you again Martin and team for the quality of care, service and overall empathy for the well-being of our cats. We won’t take them anywhere else in Brighton.

Lovely environment for the cats quiet . The vets and staff are so lovely and you are never rushed . Cat often messes in box due to travelling to the vets and they always clean the carrier and even the cats paws if needed .

Top Cat are without a doubt the kindest, most caring practice in the area. Their vast knowledge has both saved the lives of our cats , and improved the quality of their lives as they have aged. Don't entrust the well being of your cats to anyone else !

I left due to numerous issues. The biggest one being this..I was told my cat needed to have a stool test done, I totally agreed.. however they did run off a load of scary things that could be wrong with him with lots of medications given. Irene vet informed me results would be about 10 days and they would phone me with results…after about 4 weeks of waiting I contacted vets to complain just a tiny bit. Irene phoned me and OMG, she was so so rude saying she had not told me it was 10 days, she then TOLD me to leave if I was unhappy , I just couldn’t believe how nasty this vet became ( and lying ) being that she had always been so lovely. I was horrified. I apologised for complaining and stayed another year. My cat was actually fine, he’d just had a tummy bug.. but cost me over £500 to find that out. So.. That experience, the constant second guessing and full price consultations on extra visits for the same issue, with constant variety of medicines being given because the first ones were wrong…which you are expected to pay for,, the lack of adequate protection for wounds so they take ages to heal because of licking And the extremely high bills due to the constant second guessing & return visits.is enough to leave. . I was with St Francis vets for over 25 years who was an amazing vets.. None of the above I’ve mentioned never happened there. However, all vets . can make mistakes but the rudeness and denial of any responsibilities on their side is now enough for me to leave this review. One positive note , the reception staff are lovely and the young male vet that works there had a lovely mannerism and is gentle & kind. However, I am concerned about their practise due to extreme second guessing , It’s not so much about the costs, it’s about the mistakes, ( the rudeness only happened once, but omg it was bad)

We recently brought our cat Grace in for treatment, and I cannot thank the team enough—especially Martin. He was incredibly gentle, patient, and understanding throughout the whole process. Grace had swelling in both eyes, and Martin took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure she was comfortable during her visits. Thanks to his care and guidance, her eyes have improved so much, and she’s now back to her happy self. It’s such a relief to see her well again. We are truly grateful for Martin’s professionalism and kindness, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this veterinary practice to anyone looking for the very best care for their pets.

Absolutely Amazing if you have a cat then take them here! We are so lucky to have this in the area -I am so so glad Ralphy and I found Topcat. I will be forever grateful for the kind compassionate and brilliant service we received from everyone we dealt with at Topcat at what was really difficult and sad time. I had had a horrible experience with a local vets practice in Hove, Topcat were a like a breath of fresh air. It really shows that they are independent and genuinely care about cats over money shines through. Thank you so so much!
