Our fearless leader Dr. Renee Rucinsky, aka "Dr. R", earned her DVM degree from the University of Missouri and went on to spend several extra years becoming board certified in feline medicine by the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners so she could offer a higher level of care to her patients and clients. She now participates in the approval process for other veterinarians hoping to earn feline specialist diplomate status, and contributed to the guidelines for hyperthyroid and nursing care for the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) and diabetes care and fluid care for the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). Dr. R is a Fear Free Certified Professional.
Dr. R loves getting to know our clients and patients and it's not unusual at all to hear laughter emanating from our exam rooms during her appointments. She's owned by two cats, Jules and Gibson, and two dogs, Marla Pooch and Darbie. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, biking, and visiting local breweries.
Dr. R also believes that no home should be without an orange cat.

Dawn is the backbone of nursing care at our practice. A registered veterinary technician (RVT) with over 25 years of experience, Dawn is the veterinary equivalent of an RN. Dawn helped to design the guidelines for feline nursing care for The International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM) and the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP). Dawn's commitment to our patients comfort is further demonstrated by her continuing her education and knowledge and being our very first technician to be Fear Free certified! She has now completed Level 3 of the Fear Free certification program. Dawn is a complete, well, smitten kitten when it comes to our patients. Her love for cats shines through her work in her gentle touch, her endearing "cat voice" she uses to talk to them, and her ability to read and understand their body language. Dawn and her husband Rob cohabitate with three darling felines and enjoy travel, a good wine, birding, learning Italian, and just about anything that takes them outdoors.
