Dr. Cathy Lund

Dr. Cathy Lund shares her home with her husband, Dr. Peter Karczmar (who is also a confirmed cat lover!), and their three cats: Simon, Miguel and Leroy. She has been a Providence resident since 1988 and is a 1986 graduate of Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Lund completed an internship at The Cat Practice, in New York City, where she realized that being a cat-specialized veterinarian was "purr-fect" for her. City Kitty is the end result of many years of planning and anticipation.

It is her sincere hope that you are as delighted with the clinic and its services as she is.
