I'm a big fan of the Animal Medical Center. they are a 24/ emergency room for pets, and also offer regular, office hours veterinary care. They treat everything from cats and dogs to reptiles, birds and mice and other small animals, and are extremely knowledgeable. They've saved each of my cats lives, and provided necessary urgent care when one of my cats got seriously ill on a Sunday. Prices are not cheap (and so I don't recommend it for regular care), but it's great that they are there when you need them. Staff has always been considerate and communicative with me, and when one of my cats had to stay for several days, let me come by for visiting hours. Every Manhattan pet owner should have their number handy. Please be aware that because this is an emergency setting you may witness some disturbing and tragic events in the waiting room.
