Dr. Salaguinto started as a veterinarian at River City Cat Clinic in 2011. She purchased the practice in 2015 and has since put her heart and soul into bringing to life her vision for the clinic. She earned her Bachelor's degree from UC Davis in 1998 and her DVM degree from Purdue University in 2003, where she graduated in the top 10% of her class.
Dr. Salaguinto has accumulated over 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine, starting just after high school as a weekend kennel worker and moving up the ranks from there. She has always had a natural magnetism for cats and is thrilled to be able to fulfill her lifelong dream to work with them exclusively.
When not in the clinic, she enjoys tending to her garden, decorating her Land Park home, visiting state parks in her vintage canned ham trailer, and hiking/fishing/kayaking around her rustic cabin in the Sierras. She and her husband have two young children and a big pet family of 6 cats, 2 dogs, 3 chickens, a gecko, and a parrot.
