I'm finally writing a review... We have used River City Cat Clinic since 2015. We've established care for five (5) cats over those years. We've spent thousands of dollars at this clinic. Anyway, the customer service has always been meh. The front desk staff have variously been unhelpful, officious, or sometimes just plain rude. Doctors have come and gone over the years and they have been a mixed bag with some really helpful and some really focused on selling more tests. But I stuck with this practice because I appreciated a clinic that specialized in cats. We are back after 3.5 years away. We were left for out of state jobs. I called, on Friday, March 13, 2026, to schedule appointments for our cats. The office person who took the call had some odd difficulty finding us in their system. She looked under two names and then said that they have a new system and we must be really old clients and they wouldn't be able to see a client who hadn't been in for more than five (5) years. I said that we had been in more recently than that. She then checked a couple of phone numbers and said that it looked like it had been "just about five years" and they wouldn't be able to help us. "Sorry." That was it. They were done with us. I checked our records and both our cats were seen at the River City Cat on March 16, 2022. That's less than four (4) years from our call to schedule appointments. So now I'm done with them. Their lack of availability for long term clients is bad business and has earned them this bad review. read more

There are few independently owned vet clinics in Sacramento and fewer yet for cats only. Independent means they are not under corporate pressure to prescribe unneeded diagnostics or prescription foods. In our first visit two years ago, Dr, Quinby told me our cats did not need bloodwork every year routinely (once every two years instead) until they reached 8 years of age, and heartworm tests also not needed routinely since negative or positive the same medication is prescribed. That saved a good deal of money compared to previous vet. Being cat only means they are attuned to the often subtle signs cats can give of illness, and their office is quiet with no scary dogs. (I love dogs, and our dog goes to a different vet.)The Drs vet techs and office staff here are all cat lovers and I trust their advice. Today I got cute pics of the cats at their annual exam so decided it was time for a review. We had a great experience about a year ago when one of our cats just stopped eating. They made time for an emergency appointment and gave us an appetite stimulant that worked wonders. read more

I got my cat put down, and when I was there, I was asking about getting shots for a new kitten, and the woman said, if you can't afford to I pay to have this cat serviced, you shouldn't get a kitten. the cat was seventeen years old and had been a rescue.It was just so uncool read more

If you have kitty babies, River City Cat Clinic is hands down the best vet in the Sacramento area. They are a cat only, local, women owned & operated vet clinic. It is currently waitlist only but totally worth it & the list moves fast. All three docs are great but we LOVE Dr. Quinley who is one of the 80 something vets in the country who specialized in cats. Got an anxious or challenging baby, no problem, Dr. Q & the team know to make everyone, human & feline comfortably. LGBTQIA+ friendly. They also focus on giving quality service at a reasonable price & they will always work w/you to look at all the various options w/o pressuring you into spending every last penny you have. RCCC will make you feel like family from the moment Michael checks you in until the time you walk out. They are great about following up post procedure & they educate you so you fully understanding what's going on with your baby & what to expect. I recommend them to all my friends, families & pet sitting clients. They are the magical unicorn of vets when it comes to cats. I promise you'll thank me later. read more

I love this practice! It's so fun to go to a cat-centric place that has cats as the focus of their work - from their decor to the obvious proclivities to cats and cat needs in the way the vets and assistants handled my cat. I could sense my cat was a bit more relaxed at this practice than others, possibly because of the absence of dogs. My cat was a patient for about 6 months. I brought my cat in after some concerns I had about his weight. The tech assistance was so gentle with the cat (and with me!) during the initial review of questions, which were thorough. I felt like he was really listening to my needs. Dr. Lara was also very thorough with my cat, explaining her thought process around how to determine if there were any issues as well as being clear about what we could figure out with each possible diagnostic step. She wasn't pushy for the pricier diagnostics, which I appreciated, but she did help me keep on top of what each step would entail. It was clear she had also reviewed my previous vet's records before our appointment for some context on her new patient. There was a bit I could get accomplished just from emailing them directly. I always appreciate that type of ease. read more

Best vet we've ever had! Dr. Quinley has taken amazing care of 3 of my cats over the last 5-6 years. She is impressively knowledgeable and has provided everything from routine vaccinations and exams to chemotherapy and acupuncture. She is gentle, kind, extremely skillful and amazingly communicative. Her emails and notes on test results are so thoughtful and clear. The practice overall is incredibly conscientious and attentive to details, which cat people know matter a lot to the experience. Thank you, River City! read more

Customer Service River City Cat Clinic is one of the oldest and for many years the only Cats clinic. I have lived in Sacramento all my life. Went to Doctor Powell for around 40 years. Also went to the second doc owner. Both were outstanding. Unhappy to report that the current doc owner and staff are very quick to judge family upsetting behavior! Less than 1 star but it won't let me do that. read more

I always feel my kitty gets extra special attention when we need a visit. I love the fact that this place is strictly cats and no other types of animals in the waiting room. I highly recommend the veterinarians who work here. They always show their love and concern for their patients. All the support staff that work here are also very caring and helpful. As an elderly person, I appreciate their patience, and understanding with me and of course my kitty. They are the best. read more

I don't have enough kind things to say about Dr. Lara and the staff at River City Cat Clinic. I took my cat, Gandalf, to this clinic for several years. I recently had to make the difficult decision to have him put down when he started to rapidly and suddenly decline just shy of his suspected 12th birthday. I was unable to take him to RCCC when his sudden decline started because they were closed, but I left a message letting them know I was taking him to an emergency vet and they followed up with me the next business day. I was able to forward his test and lab results to Dr. Lara prior to his scheduled appointment and she called me to discuss what she saw. She approached the difficult conversation with care and listened to my concerns and worries. When I took him to his appointment later that week she discussed a "Hail Mary" plan to possibly buy me more time as I'd told her I wasn't ready to say goodbye. Unfortunately, she was able to discover later in the visit that the fluid that had been drained from his lungs by the emergency vet was building up again and there wasn't a viable treatment option for my circumstances to prevent it from continuing to happen. Dr. Lara showed me such kindness and compassion when I asked her difficult questions and made the decision to take him home to say goodbye. She followed up with me the next week and sent the kindest email that I still find comfort in. The love and care she has for her feline patients and their owners is something that I will forever be thankful for, and should I ever have another cat I will not think twice about choosing RCCC. read more

We've been going to RCCC for over a year now, and Dr Lara has been great. Every person I've ever met here is compassionate, kind, and friendly. I definitely trust them with all our cat clan. A little on the pricier side, but I don't mind paying for the kind of quality care we always receive vs the last experiences I've had at vets that were less expensive. I genuinely feel like I can trust their guidance and advice. I always wish they were open on the weekends, but that doesn't keep me from coming here. Thank you, RCCC! read more

Terrible experience here trying to get my cat's skin problem addressed. They prescribed Prednisone pills and it didn't help but they kept wanting to see him for follow up appointments for no reason other to say, yep, not getting better, charging $60 a pop. Finally they refer me to a dermatologist who doesn't return calls to schedule an appointment. Pathetic waste of money. My new vet is performing an allergy blood test and advised that Prednisone should be taken for more than a week or two so why did RCCC have my cat on it for almost six weeks? Why couldn't RCCC do an allergy test or give an anti-inflammatory injection like my new vet? Avoid this place if you care about your cat and/or wallet. read more

Vet and Techs were great with our Zeke and Jimmy Junior! So nice to have a vet office just for cats as our boys are very scared of dogs.

Staff are so sweet and really take time to listen to concerns or medical details. You can tell they care.

You need to have a referral in order to schedule an appointment (for right now at least). I scheduled an appointment and was able to get an appointment in less than a week. The staff is friendly and the place is clean. They have their own parking lot as well. The clinic cat is also friendly and fluffy. :) They have free catnip for your furry babies near the receptionist. I enjoyed this clinic because out of all my experiences at clinics, this was the first place that allowed us to be in the same room with our cat. They handled her with care and were extremely kind. They tried to calm my cat's nerves by giving her treats (she didn't take it) but I appreciated the gesture! I forgot the assistant and doctor's names, (possibly Dr. Katherine and Kara?) but they were wonderful! They allowed my cat to roam freely in the room to get more comfortable. I enjoyed the part where they let us see my cat's eye under a UV light to see how the fluorescein dye worked. I highly recommend coming here. It's pricier than the other places I've been but my cat seemed more calmer since no dogs were present and it was pretty quiet. It was $170 for a wellness exam. read more

I recently moved out-of-state, and will miss this relationship! Dr. Salaguinto and staff took great care of King Francis during his first year (please adopt!) while we were living in Sacramento. The clinic is clean and calm and they're usually right on time. Dr. Salaguinto always took her time to listen to my concerns and address each one during our appointments and would also promptly return calls whenever I had a question. I'm very into natural and holistic health/remedies for my cats, and while this practice is definitely more mainstream-vet, Dr. Salaguinto was open to listening and working with me. If you have cats and want to visit a veterinarian office that's quiet, calm, and only deals with cat concerns, this is the place to go. read more

So far, I am very pleased. I decided to come here because it is a cats only vet, and just the mere sight of a dog will make my corpulent fuzzball upset. My kitty is very temperamental, gets scared at the vet, and creates a lot of noisy, hissing, growling, yowling, fighting ruckus. Picture Garfield from the comic. This is the first place I've been to that has offered an alternative to bringing her in and grappling with her in order to give her her shots and trim her claws. They prescribed me a low level sedative to try giving her next time before bringing her in. I haven't tried it yet, but I plan to soon as Kyo needs a follow up test and exam done. She's getting up there in cat years, and will be turning 10 this spring. Usually, she behaves herself at home these days, having mellowed out some in her old age. Bringing her anywhere else is a different story, but I think I'm comfortable bringing her back to River City. Folks here are very knowledgeable without being too judgy. There's still some judgment because she's a huge orange bowling ball, but they mean well. Kyo is obese. I get it. I monitor her food pretty closely, but part of her issue is she has no interest in exercise. I can get her to chase a toy one or two times before she's done. I didn't get the usual huge lecture here, and I appreciated that. Each of my concerns were addressed, and I was adequately prepared with the cost information beforehand. Their top concern is for the health and safety of your kitty, not pushing you out on time, or pushing expensive services you don't really need. I appreciated the follow up call today. read more

High prices and ultimately they turned out to be the type of business/people I wouldn't want to do business with anyway. Shotty ethics and poor customer service. Because I didn't patronize their business enough, they purged my account, which included my cat's records, and they didn't tell me about it until I called in with a very sick cat that needed care. Further, they wouldn't allow me as a customer anymore, I asked. Sorry, kitty. This place is down the street from my house, and without ANY empathy for the situation, they've forced me to find a new vet which will surely be further away. read more

I love River City Cat Clinic. They care about my cats and are always willing to help if I need it. Thanks Dr Quinley for taking care of my cats so well over the years. I wouldn't trust my cats to any other vet clinic. read more

Overpriced and won't even do a nail trim without a $65 annual exam even though my cat is up to date with his exam at another facility. Just trying to get your money. My cat was injured at a groomer during his nail trim earlier this year, it was devastating and scary. Because of that I've opted to go to a veterinarian for his regular nail trim. His regular vet (who I changed from you because of your price gouging and all around lower standard of care) did not have an appointment until mid September. Thank you for your condescending advice, but feel free to keep it to yourself and reevaluate your customer service. read more

We recently became cat people. We have two cats and the second one came to us as a stray with a clipped ear. We took our new found friend to River City cat clinic. The care at the clinic is just awesome. You make an appointment, you show up, They check in your cat, do the work that they need to do And give you your cat back. For the preventive work that we needed it took about 20 minutes. Even in these times of Covid, They treat their animal customers so well. There is not a lot of stress for the animal, the rates are fair, and the time spent is minimal. I have a friend who goes to Ban-field. Not only do they pay a quarterly subscription, but when they bring their cat in they drop him off at eight in the morning, he is put into a cage and they don't see him again until four or 5 PM. And this is for shots! That is insane. I am very very very very happy with the service at River city, and I would never take my cat for care anywhere else. I highly recommend River city cat clinic. read more

(EDIT for the 4 (5? I lost count) responses Wendy has made. My first time posting on Yelp, not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't blood-sport level of interaction. We have 3 toddlers so this response is limited to their patience level) I was on a deployment in January for the military, the dates shifted several times and it's true we were forced to alter our cat's appointment. We really tried having her seen as my wife and I both understood the cat's meds would NOT be refilled without it. I tried explaining the deployment/cancellation aspect to Wendy on our call but she just laughed. Not sure how to read that. Actually I have to laugh, I'm not sure how confrontational one can be during Covid, since you hand your pet through a window and everything else is handled on the phone. Plus her front desk admin (Jayna?) is great, and was very sympathetic when I picked up Tigra. The only other person I interacted with was Wendy...it was not a great conversation. But not so bad I would've told her we are taking our business elsewhere. Especially since our cat is not well, and requires constant medication. We did glance at her other comments though (basically: anything other than a 5) and if you choose to do so, bring water, you'll be there a while. If you question her like we did she judges you and well, does whatever this is. Anyway, this has been an experience. To recap: after several years of decent service we were suddenly asked to leave, had privileged information posted here by the Vet to include the cat's medical records. She removed the medical record after I told her to do so (probably illegal?) But the sensitive personal and financial information is still there, yay. Please, read through the other poor experiences, compare it with ours, draw your own conclusion. ------------------------------------------ Original post This review is painful to write, and I have to admit we don't typically review but felt we should. We live in Land Park and have had our cat, Tigra, a patient here for several years. Over the past year we have declined several extremely costly procedures we felt we were (potentially) unnecessary and not financially realistic. Today, after confirming those decisions "Dr" Salaguinto asked us to leave, and we did not argue. I would not send my worst enemy's pet here. I hate the negativity I'm using here, but I'm also trying to save someone else from the trouble we have faced. We got the feeling, once they knew expensive procedures were not possible, they just wanted us replaced by someone who might pay for them. -Tigra's family read more

If you share your life with a cat, River City Cat Clinic should be your choice for care. Like the name states, they only treat cats. Which means they are experts when it comes to diagnosing and treating our feline friends. Additionally, everyone there is friendly and professional. I have had two cats that they have cared for, for everything from a nail trim to end-of-life issues, and I am so grateful to have had their support and expertise. I live in North Natomas and pass several other vet clinics on the way to River City Cat Clinic because my cat is worth it. read more

So glad I decided to take my kitty here. Our cat Sadie was having allergies and licking her fur off. At first we thought it was stress b/c her last vet (at Midtown Animal Clinic) suggested that but after giving her CBD which did calm her she started overgrooming again. That's when I started to suspect allergies. This place is easy to get to and has a good sized parking lot. The receptionist was pleasant and attentive - she was expecting us. Our vet was Dr. Nina Quinley, she has such a calm bedside manner. Sadie is shy so she read those cues and introduced herself slowly. The appointment was thorough and we left with a prescription for Prednisolone. Couldn't believe how reasonable the price was even with the medication! And Sadie responded very well to the meds, her fur is now growing back beautifully. I am very pleased with my experience. This is def my new kitty vet. read more

I weighed my options on where to take my cat. There's a vet closer to me but I ended up with the conclusion of what better place than a place exclusively for cats. If i'm in the waiting room, there won't be rowdy or loud dogs scaring my already scared cat in her carrier. They only deal with cats. It's a specialty. Perfect. Located on Riverside near Target. They have a small parking lot. The place is catted out with cat art, cat magazines.. I've been in for routine work and some particular concerns and everyone has always been nice and professional. I can't speak on price since I haven't done the comparisons but it's not damaging enough to do comparisons. Office visits are $49. Is that expensive? I can deal. It's a cat clinic, I have a cat, everyone has been cool.. So, we found our new vet. read more

I adopted a retired show sphynx & called today to ask if they were familiar with the breed. Since she needs to be spayed this is an absolutely valid concern (sphynx cats have a higher risk rate during anesthesia & also need to be kept warm the entire procedure AND visit). I called & asked the receptionist if the clinic was familiar with sphynx cats. She just sarcastically told me 'of course we are a cat clinic' I responded with 'yes.. I know. That is why I called, now for the second time, are you familiar with sphynx cats?' Now.. if the name of the place was 'the Sphynx Cat Clinic' then that snarky response from the receptionist wouldn't have been offensive.. I've worked professionally with animals for 7+ yrs & believe treating potential customers respectfully is key to good business. ..I've contacted dozens of vet offices today & this was the only rude clinic I spoke with.. go figure it'd be the so called specialists.. oh yah they were also the most expensive $250 for a spay.. everywhere else was $50-$175 read more

I can't say enough good things about River City Cat Clinic. Our cat got in a fight and became lethargic, and we wanted to get him seen by a vet. We had recently had a bad experience at another vet, so we called River City. When they heard our cat's symptoms over the phone, they said that unfortunately they didn't have any appointments that day, and that we should go elsewhere to ensure that he got seen that day. We really appreciated that they faced the prospect of losing our business simply to make sure that our cat got the care he needed. After calling a few places that didn't have availability that day, we called River City back and they fitted us in the next day. Once we got there with our cat, the office was helpful and friendly, and we were seen promptly by Dr. Lara. Dr. Lara recommended a course of treatment, but worked with us to modify that plan when we explained that we had concerns about it. The office followed up to make sure our cat was doing well after a few days. We couldn't be happier! read more

This review is long overdue, as I have been going to River City Cat Clinic for about 5 years now and my experience during this time has been overwhelmingly positive. Dr. Quinley and the staff at RCCC are amazing. I have a cat that was recently diagnosed with a terminal illness and Dr. Quinley went out of her way to set aside time for us and respond to my emails over the weekend. It was a very emotional time and I felt supported and cared about. I have another cat with behavior issues and Dr. Quinley and the staff make sure that the experience for my cat is as stress-free as possible. Dr. Quinley clearly works hard to understand every cat's individual personality and tailor her care to them. She is also very knowledgeable about diseases in cats and treatment options. With guidance from RCCC I feel confident that I am making the best decisions for my cats. I have been to vets before who aren't really cat people, and I understand because they are complicated little creatures. However, that dislike often shows up in the type of care they give whether intentional or not. So being in a place surrounded by people as cat-obsessed as me is so important when it comes to my cat's well-being. read more

Thought this establishment appreciated local business and animals wellbeing over business profits until my wife took our kitten Junebug into have her final rounds or shots, be spayed and chipped. Total bill came to an overinflated $527, $305 for the spay alone! My wife dropped Junebug off first thing in the am where they quickly went over the procedure and got her to sign off on the charges before she had a chance to think twice or consult me. I understand that businesses have to turn a profit but charging 6X as much as the SPCA charges to to spay a cat is highway robbery. When I went to pick our Junebug up I kindly asked the office gal to explain the charges, which she did promptly but offered little detail as to why it cost so much. At this point I knew that I was going to be met with resistance but I politely asked for a courtesy discount. I wasn't counting on much but I would have felt much better about doing business at said establishment in the future if they could have offered $20-30 off the total bill amount. Instead, I got "well your wife signed this so there isn't really anything we can do and besides I can't authorize anything. My manager can but she isn't here." I asked that she check with someone anyways. Another employee came out and reiterated the same things to me so instead of arguing a futile cause I paid their inflated bill and informed them that I would not be coming back. The second employee apologized and added that the owner, who must have been in the back, wasn't willing to do anything. At the end of the day, I guess this establishment can afford to over charge and lose local clients opposed to being fair, understanding and reasonable.

My 16 year old cat Curly was in heart failure when I brought her to River City. Her heart was beating so fast, that the beats couldn't be counted. After a year of congestive heart disease and twice taken to emergency care, Dr. Anita Lara explained to me what my options were and what would be the most humane. I was able to take Curly home and spend the next 24 hours with her, saying goodbye. I could not have asked for a more peaceful end to her wonderful life, thanks to Dr. Lara. Along with being caring and empathetic, Dr Lara sent a handwritten card for my loss. I have never had a more thoughtful veterinarian. read more

I live in Land Park and have taken my cat Pepper to this location about a year before. When I woke up last Tuesday, she was doing some strange things that just make me concerned. I know this cat and even her meow was different. I called the Clinic (which when I hear this word I think of something cold, this place couldn't be so far from the truth) I was so worried and felt such relief they could see her at 11am that day. I was called back about 11:10am by a young man & a young women (I sorry I don't know their names or positions, there were introductions but I was solely focused on Pepper). My baby was never scared of the Vet and came right out of the carrier. The young man listened to Pepper's symptoms while the young women petted her. In hind sight he got the vet right away, I realized later he was worried about her too. So Dr. Lara came in and listened to me repeat my concerns. She examined Pepper and delivered the most traumatic news I never even contemplated. She tells me "this cat is trying to die" & I flippin lost it!! Dr. Lara thoroughly explains what Pepper is going through. She was soooo through about telling me if I wanted to try to save her she would do everything she could to do as I wished. And as much as I wanted to try Dr. Lara being completely honest with me about how I need to think of Pepper's little body and how tired she was and her little heart. This whole time I am balling like baby. I cant think about anything except I have to put my beloved Pepper down. Dr. Lara was so professional, she explained how it would work and that it really was the best thing for Pepper. I really did not want to take Pepper home to have her suffer or find her dead after coming home from work or worst her having a heart attack or seizure. I loved her so much I the thought of her being in pain was unbearable. So I called my Husband, I surprised he understood me! I asked if they could please wait till my Husband could join me. In the mean time Dr. Lara took care of everything, the paperwork (explaining my options of cremation), she had me pay in the privacy of the examine room so I could just run out & not have to be balling in the waiting room while paying the bill. My Husband arrived & Dr. Lara brought in another lady to help with the procedure. She again explained what exactly would happen and Pepper would feel nothing uncomfortable. I asked if I could kiss her before they started, so I kissed her little face & shoved my nose in her soft hair to smell her. I had asked my Husband to stay with her the whole time so she wasn't alone. I just could not bring myself to see her die. Then 2 days later I get a card in the mail from Dr. Lara and I thought wow how thoughtful for them to send a condolences card. When I opened it I realized in a small plastic baggie was some of Pepper's hair and a whisker, plus on a piece of paper shaped like a heart was one of Pepper's paw prints . I was crying so hard I couldn't read the card. I have never had to put any animal down so I never thought to take a memento from Pepper all I have are photos nothing tangible. I was immensely grateful for this simple gesture. Dr. Lara gave her time to give me & my Husband some comfort and it meant the world. Now that I have a copy of Pepper's paw print I'm going to get it tattooed near my heart so she will be with me always. I will use RCCC again as I do have a male cat, Tux. Plus someday when I can bring myself to do it I will adopt or foster more cats. read more

After spending a few years visiting a veterinarian who cared for both dogs and cats, my cat is much happier at River City Cat Clinic. Not only does he not have to be afraid that a dog is going to show up in the waiting room, striking terror throughout his little furry body, but he is much more relaxed overall. The vet techs and veterinarians exude love for their feline friends and my furrball is very appreciative of their care. He gives them two paws up. read more

I take my baby girl Luci here and Dr. Quinley is great with her. I feel like Dr. Quinley litsens to us when we see her and always answers all our questions. Even one time I needed to have luci seen quick and even though they had no open times they squeezed me in, in less than 48 hours to make sure our worries were looked into. She also let us see lucis lab result numbers which no other vet I've taken her to has. I mean we pay for them, we should get to see them right? I will be coming to the River City Cat Clinic for the rest of luci's life and any other cats we end up getting in the future. Doesn't hurt they are right down the street too! read more

I had to take a few months to write this review as I lost my cat Minnie earlier this year. I have to say my entire experience at RCCC was the best of all the vets I took my cat to.; I took her to plenty trying to get a diagnosis. To this day I'm not quite sure what was wrong with Minnie and after several tests from different doctors it was concluded that she had IBD and maybe some autoimmune issue but she was a fighter and lived longer than anyone expected. Dr. Quinley was amazing and gave Minnie acupuncture towards the end. I think it kept her comfortable. What I love about Dr. Quinley was her compassion and honesty. She wasn't quite sure what was wrong with Minnie as Minnie was an unusual case, but she never gave up on her despite all the issues Minnie presented with. When we had to finally say good bye to Minnie Dr. Laura was there and was wonderful. I couldn't have asked for a more compassionate doctor. We had never had a family picture and the staff there took one of us. She also gave us piece of mind that Minnie was suffering that we did all that we could do. All of the staff at RCCC was so kind and supportive during the difficult time. It was the absolute best experience and closure I could have hoped for given the circumstances. I truly believe they helped with my family's grieving process. If I have another cat in the future I will come here. They went above and beyond, were reasonably priced, genuinely cared about my cat, and had the most compassion even after she passed. I received a thoughtful card with Minnie's paw prints a couple weeks after her passing. The doctors wrote thoughtful things and memories they had of Minnie. I hope to see them again in the future if I get another cat, but if not, I want to thank them for giving me and my family such a positive experience during a difficult time. Thank you to all the RCCC staff. read more

River City Cat Clinic - Minnie's last acupuncture appointment with Dr. Quinley. - Veterinarians Near Me - Sacramento, California

Simply the best! If you have a cat, a cat-only clinic is a better environment for cats because the hospital is quieter and the people working there will have a lot more experience with cats than your average veterinary practice. RCCC is clean, quiet, and the staff here are all friendly and helpful. Dr. Salaguinto is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and supportive, answers all of my questions AND puts my mind at ease. She truly cares about her clients and patients, and I feel very lucky to have found such an amazing vet to care for my fur-babies!! read more
