We are a quiet, two-doctor practice with a goal to provide high-quality medicine, focusing on the patient. Our hospital is privately owned, operated, and staffed with fully trained, caring individuals dedicated to making your cat's veterinary experience a positive one. We schedule longer average appointments, so we have more time to get to know you and your cat.

Our practice philosophy is to consider each patient as an individual when making medical decisions to take into account each patient's age and lifestyle, medical condition, the owner's emotional and financial considerations, and expectations for outcome.
Services
Riverside Cat Hospital was opened by Dr. Kerry Lewis in 2006. She is a 1999 graduate of Michigan State University. Following graduation, she spent 7 years working in both feline and emergency medicine until deciding to open her own practice. Dr. Lewis and her husband live in East Lansing, with their three children and three cats.
Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of an annual or semi-annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your feline companions feeling their best.
Dr. Nachamari Rivera-Rios moved from Puerto Rico to Michigan to follow her dream of becoming a veterinarian. We first met Dr. Rivera-Rios while she was in vet school when she did her clinical externship with us.
Hallie has been with Riverside Cat Hospital since we opened in 2006. She has a Bachelor of Science in Zoology and earned her Veterinary Technician degree from MSU in 2018. She has worked in the veterinary field for over 19 years and has spent the last 13 years exclusively with felines. Hallie lives with her husband, 4 kitties and 2 birds.

This place is amazing! I had a kitten emergency and I could not get in anywhere, and when I called Riverside Cat Hospital, they graciously took me in right away. The facility is so nice and quaint, very peaceful, the staff was extremely friendly and I was helped by a very knowledgeable and friendly vet tech who you could tell loves cats. She really really helped and offered so much helpful information. I am incredibly grateful! I will absolutely be recommending this hospital to others!

We brought our cat in to be neutered here. The staff is friendly and caring. The facility itself is inviting and clean. The fees we paid were very reasonable and they took wonderful care of our baby. We highly recommend.

Having a diabetic cat can be rough, especially trying find a place to board him when we go away and can't take him. They made it easy and I could rest knowing he was in good hands.

The staff and doctor are really friendly and very upfront with costs and recommendations. They handle my pets with care and have great after care procedures. This place is pretty reasonable for prices. The only expensive piece is FIV testing.

Our cat lulu suspected kidney failure rapid muscle loss and our other male cat picking on him we decided that it would more humane to let him go then to continue to suffer. The staff was more than accommodating.

I trust this vet with my best friend of 15 years. They always take amazing care of her. Dr. Leigh goes above and beyond when it comes to your cats. She will take her time when speaking with you, and it never feels rushed. You can tell she truly cares about your cat. It's a wonderful feeling to have someone so amazing taking care of your furry friend.

My cat had been having some health issues that were not being solved by his primary vet (not for lack of trying on their part) so I decided to bring him here. Dr. Greg is awesome and has been working with me to diagnose and fix my cats issues. We still have not gotten them solved but things are progressing in the right direction and I am thrilled with the attentiveness of the staff and the Drs. If you have a cat this place is amazing.

Very friendly, professional, welcoming, and respectful. Greeted kindly, lobby had great environment for cats and a little kitten who greets you as well. Their blind "shop cat" is rad little guy. Didn't wait long at all and doctor was very informative. It was apparent they actually cared about what they are doing. Scheduling surgery for our cat "mousey"

They are so nice here. I feel very much like a cat person when I come here with my kitties. The vets are very through and take their time explaining things. I feel like I'm not getting unnecessary things done to them but still feel like they've done a good job keeping my cats healthy.
