Meet Our Staff
Dr. Dorothy Cheung, DVM
Dr. Cheung graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) in 1997 and began working at Central Cat Hospital in June 2001. She has always felt a special affinity for cats, and here at Central Cat Hospital, she has been privileged to be able to hone and focus her skills on her favourite species.
She was inspired to become a feline specialist by her late beloved calico cat, Ginny. Dr. Cheung rescued Ginny from the animal shelter in Oakville in 1996 before graduating from OVC, and they were inseparable until the end. Ginny passed away at age 18 in October, 2010.
Dr. Cheung now shares her home with Greta, a sweet natured dilute calico who was found abandoned in Woodstock and Flynn, a rambunctious and affectionate black and white foster kitten.
Dr. Cheung is licensed by the College of Veterinarians of Ontario and regularly attends veterinary conferences and symposiums nationwide as a part of her ongoing education in feline health.
