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.
Dr. Roman
Veterinarian
Dr. Roman is a graduate of North Carolina State University, where she earned her bachelors and DVM degrees. After completing veterinary school, she moved to Colorado to complete a small animal emergency internship in Fort Collins. Upon completion of her internship year, she continued in emergency practice, becoming proficient in diagnosing and treating all types of emergent cases. It was during these years she developed a love and passion for feline patients and owners.
Dr. Roman is very excited to be with The Cat Doctor now, and is looking forward to expanding her knowledge of all things cat! Other than feline medicine, her veterinary interests include surgery and end of life care.
In her free time, Dr. Roman enjoys spending time with her two cats, Sullivan and Jellybean, and partaking in outdoor adventures, including climbing, paddle boarding, hiking, camping, and overlanding road trips.
Dr. Wyer
Veterinarian
Dr. Justyne Wyer grew up in Idaho and earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Colorado State University. She values building lifelong relationships with her patients and hopes to care for cats through every stage of life, from kittenhood to their senior years. Her professional interests include feline internal medicine, particularly caring for cats with multiple complex and intersecting medical conditions. She also has a special interest in hospice and end-of-life care, and considers it a privilege to support families through some of the most difficult and meaningful moments they share with their pets.
Dr. Wyer chose to join the Cat Doctor because she has seen how easily cats can be misunderstood in traditional veterinary clinics. When care is not designed around them, many cats become fearful and are not able to receive the treatment they deserve. She is committed to creating a calmer, more personalized experience that best supports each cat’s health.
Outside of work, Dr. Wyer enjoys curling up with a good book joined by her three cats (and best friends): Lucy, Newt, and Stretch. They generously allow her to spend most of her budget on Churu.
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.

Maddi
Customer Service Representative/Veterinary Assistant
I lived and grew up in Texas until my partner’s employer wanted him to move across the country for work. We moved all the way to New York City where we lived for one year before ending up in Colorado in 2023. While in NYC I volunteered with a TNR group and helped them catch and care for feral cats. One of the feral kittens I socialized ended up being a foster fail! I named her Lucy and she came with us from NYC. Growing up I’ve always had a love of cats and have never been without one. I was super excited to receive the opportunity to work with the cat doctor team and continue to share my love of cats. In my free time I love to play video games, Dungeons and Dragons, and read my ever growing list of books.
