Last April, Moffett took her cat -- which she renamed "Calie" -- to Jacqueline Metzler, who was listed as the PALS veterinarian, to get vaccinations.
"I watched Metzler give Calie a variety of shots," Moffett said. "I even went back to her a couple of times because Calie wasn't acting right. Metzler told me that she was all right, that she didn't have worms, and that she would be just fine in no time."
Moffett wasn't so certain, and decided to seek a second opinion. She took the ailing cat to a vet in southwest Philadelphia, who confirmed her fears.
She says she was told "Calie had worms, and was given the wrong rabies vaccine," Moffett said.
"I had to get the cat a whole new series of shots, and pay for them all over again."
Moffett ended up paying about $250 just for shots for her sick feline, and began to wonder what kind of operation was being run out of Pet Smart. She contacted PALS.
Luckily for Moffett, the Philadelphia vet was able to properly diagnose Calie's illnesses, and the cat has a clean bill of health today.
Pet Smart spokeswoman Kristen Zimmer said the company is investigating the situation.
