My cat is very sick. We went to the vet and were incredibly unsatisfied. Please recommend an awesome vet in the South Hampton Roads (preferably Norfolk or Virginia Beach) area. (Also, if you have ANY idea what's wrong with my cat, please give me an idea, because I'm sick to my stomach with worry.) [more inside]

Does my cat have a chronic respiratory infection, or is it possible she just naturally has poor breathing passages? Ever since my partner and I adopted her and her sister in August she has had periodic coughing and hacking fits that have been relatively unaffected by three separate rounds of antibiotics.

Just moved to Seattle -- any recommendations for a good veterinarian or vet hospital? My cat will probably need some diagnostic work, so I'd prefer a facility that has specialists. I am hoping to find a place in North Seattle (Maple Leaf/Northgate area) but can drive anywhere.
