Dr. Buchholtz
Owner/Veterinarian
Dr. Stephanie Buchholtz grew up in Littleton and spent her summers as a youth on her grandparent’s ranch on the western slope so that she could participate in 4-H. She attended CSU where she received her DVM degree in 1993. She practiced general small- and exotic-animal medicine in the Greeley area for 26 years before deciding to follow her heart and establish a feline-only practice. Her desire to cater to cats started when she became determined to counter the notion that some cats are “mean” when they come to the vet. Frightened cats will often become defensive, but understanding their anxiety and providing an environment designed to keep them calm enables cats to better receive the regular health care they deserve.
Dr. Buchholtz enjoys fly fishing, travel, and photography. She and her husband Brett serve five cats and a one-eyed parrot.

When she’s not taking care of cats in the clinic, she spends her time reading books, lifting weights, and spending quality time with her husband Casey and two cats.
Canon
IT Administrator and Customer Service Manager
Hello! My name is Canon, pet lover extraordinaire and resident tech guru! I grew up in a home where the pets out-numbered the owners, which is saying something coming from a family with 7 siblings. We moved to Colorado in 2009 and I fell in love with the community this state has to offer finding there is no place I would rather be. As a proud cat owner for many years myself I am overjoyed to be part of The Cat Doctor team. By ensuring our facility is running at peak performance and providing a positive environment for all cats, I am proud to have made sure our feline friends get the care they deserve for over 5 years.
Aimee

Aimee grew up on a small ranch in Falcon, Colorado. She has been caring for and working with horses and many other types of animals her entire life. She graduated from Colorado State University with a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies in 2016, and a Master of Education in 2017.

After rescuing Little Mr. Kitty, she became increasingly interested in and passionate about cats, and began considering what types of related careers she could pursue. Aimee has been a part of The Cat Doctor Team since 2019 and, after having been trained as a home-grown technician by Dr. B, is now pursuing another degree in a Veterinary Technician program to obtain her certification.
