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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

It's wonderful to be in a lobby and reception area strictly reserved for cats. The vets and techs are very good with my Calico that doesn't like to be held.

We've been taking our kitties here for years. The staff are all excellent. While it's probably on the pricier side, we know they give our cats the special care they need, especially since both are now senior kitties.

They are simply the best. I've never had a vet give such attentive care!

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.

Dr. S and her staff are angels and gave our little old Lady Keeper the best care imaginable even though Keeper's kinda spicy. Along with kidney disease, constipation issues, and a myriad of other conditions, Dr. S always respected that Keeper's quality of life was the most important thing to us and always gave us various treatment options and explained which path she felt would maintain or improve Keeper's quality of life which often times meant discouraging us from pursuing the most costly of options. Which brings me to my next point, Dr. S and her staff were so understanding of the financial burden that comes with caring for a chronically ill pet and would frequently apologize for the cost of a test or medication (even though these things are out of her control). Lastly, I so deeply appreciated how all of her recommendations were based on research she'd done and would inform us about what the literature suggested and that was sooo helpful! Unfortunately, we had to leave the Sacramento area and are having the hardest time finding a cat clinic with even half the heart and care River City gave our girl.
