Riverside Cat Hospital

Our Mission

At Riverside Cat Hospital, our mission is to provide comprehensive, compassionate, and high-quality veterinary care tailored exclusively to the unique needs of our feline patients. We understand that each cat is an individual with its own personality, medical history, and preferences. Our dedicated team of veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and support staff strive to create a calm, stress-free environment where cats feel comfortable and safe. We prioritize building strong, trusting relationships with our clients based on open communication, empathy, and shared decision-making.

A Cat-Centric Approach

Our philosophy centers around a holistic approach to feline healthcare, which means considering not just a cat's physical health but also their emotional well-being and the needs of their owners. We recognize that cats can be sensitive creatures, and we go the extra mile to minimize their anxiety during visits. Our hospital is designed to be calming and soothing, with separate waiting areas for cats and dogs to prevent unnecessary stress.

Experienced and Compassionate Care

Our dedicated team of feline specialists is committed to providing the highest level of veterinary care. Each member of our team is highly trained and experienced in treating cats of all ages and health conditions. We stay abreast of the latest advancements in feline medicine through ongoing education and training, ensuring that our patients receive the most up-to-date and evidence-based care. Dr. Kerry Lewis, founder of Riverside Cat Hospital, brings over two decades of experience in feline medicine. Her passion for feline health and her commitment to providing personalized care have made Riverside Cat Hospital a trusted resource for cat owners in the Okemos area.
