On May 31st, my nearly 16 year old tabby Lucille started vomiting and acting lethargic. Shes normally a healthy cat, and I dont take her to the vet often because getting her into a cat carrier is usually a nightmare. Kitty does NOT like car rides in enclosed spaces! She had been barely eating for almost a week, refusing the kitty crack that is Fancy feast, and then suddenly she barfed up what little she did eat and then promptly pooped on my rug- something she has NEVER done. My cat has saved my life countless times over the years during terrible bouts of depression, and shes my only child so I was terrified and sat up with her all night. I called River City the next morning freaking out, and the receptionist Olivia squeezed Lucy in with Dr. Kennedy same day. I moved to Sac from L.A. 4 years ago, have had cats my whole life, and THIS IS THE NICEST KINDEST VETERINARIAN and staff Ive ever taken any of my pets to over the years - the vet tech Jessica was very gentle with Lucy, the Dr. was empathetic about my not having a ton of money and offered options to help bring costs down, and she told me Lu was dehydrated, had a heart murmur, and possible kidney issues making her not want to eat. Dr. Kennedy gave her an Rx and a shot of some miracle anti nausea medicine that by the time i got her home, allowed Lucy to voluntarily eat half a can of tuna and successfully poop in the litterbox again. Yes, its that big of a deal! I wont take her anywhere else - when the bill came it was expectedly high, and the staff let me know there might be lower cost clinics i could look for, but my high drama cat was calm with three staff members, and i could tell she was in good hands. They are awesome and heres hoping whatever comes back with Lucilles blood work and urinalysis they will be there to help treat. Im glad i chose them.

Almost everyone at this vet clinic is very nice. Ive been taking my cats there for many years, but a couple of weeks ago I had my first appointment with Dr. Laura. She really seemed to care about my elderly cat, but I really didnt appriciate her yelling at me about my cats nails. All in all, I would highly suggest that you check this clinic out

I just recently lost my beloved boy kitty of 18 years and had to put him down at the clinic. The staff there was amazing and made us feel welcome and were so gentle with the whole process. HIGHLY recommend them for any kitty needs.

Dr Wendy Salaguinto is wonderful with my 18 year old kitteh. She takes lots of time to explain whats going on and what the options are. Very detailed voice mails with lots of compassion.
