This took place at there Iselin office on rt 27 Worst vet place I ever been to. Went in the evening. They took my cat right into the back soon after arriving. I thought I go with it, but they say I stay here. While doing forms a fast food delivery comes for Sara Metcalf, front desk and she's be loudly complaining with the person for what seemed like 10 minutes, really loud too in front of every 1 there. The vet finally comes out, wife tells vet Justine Murray its symptoms. No pooping or peeing.
The vet says there is a blockage. What will it cost I ask. $3000 and cat stays here 3 days. I tell vet I cant afford it, can I pay now and take my cat home. Vet leaves me and wife in closed door room, comes back minutes later and says she spoke to the bosses over the phone and we could put the price at $2000 and go up from there. I tell vet I cant afford this, I want my cat and I'll pay the bill now. I'm not disputing there prices, I just could not afford it.
Vet leaves room again, minutes later comes back, we can set you up with payments, I tell her I have no money for this, can I have my cat, I will pay now. The vet is starring and talking to my wife, my wife is all upset. I tell vet I am not approving any of this. Vet leaves us again comes back says for $540 I can try to unblock cat but no guarantee. I again say no I want my cat, I want to pay now. And you now should be taking money off my bill because your holding my cat against my will. Vets leaves us again in closed room, I tell my very sick (health issues) let us get out of this room. Vet calls us into room again, I am refusing but we go in again, vet says for $136 I can put cat to sleep. I told vet I want my cat. I want to pay now. I ask front desk to call police, which they didn't. I went looking for my cat, I didn't find him. Now Sara does call police, 5 officers arrive, I am not arrested, and 1 officer gets my cat and bill is paid. I thought it was over but now I must go to municipal court for this. I assume they want my wife hospitalized over this? I just wanted to pay the bill and bring my cat home to die in my arms, peacefully as he did, and not alone at the vet.
