I took my cat to Metro Cat Hospital when I lived in Brookline, because I didn't have a car, and this was the closest veterinarian that was readily accessible by the T. They were my first vets, so I couldn't really compare them to anyone else, but the office was always friendly, and they provide a complimentary claw-clipping with every exam, which was nice. However, their exams always seemed a bit rushed and cursory, and their prices were expensive, even compared to the vet I used in the bay area (where the cost of living is even higher). Additionally, even though I brought my cat into Metro several times, they *never* diagnosed a cataract that my cat was born with. That cataract was later diagnosed by my vet in the bay area, who was *much* more thorough and careful with his examination of my cat and generally seemed like he cared much more about his patients. Basically, Metro Cat Hospital does a competent job and is conveniently located, but if you have a car, there are probably friendlier, cheaper, and more thorough vets in the Boston area.
Pros: convenient by T, easy metered parking
Cons: overpriced, not thorough, impersonal
