Dr. Caroline Oeben, Veterinarian/Owner

When she was 7 years old, Dr. Oeben heard a faint meow behind some bushes as she was playing in her backyard. There she found 2 tiny kittens and their mother, all of whom had just survived a flood. The black kitten became her first pet cat, Skipper, who lived to the ripe old age of 15. (His brother went to her second grade teacher and their mother, Midnight, remained as a contented backyard pet). Thus began Dr. Oeben’s life-long fascination with cats which has culminated in the founding of her own practice, The Cat Doctor.

A lover of cats her entire life, Dr. Oeben cannot imagine living without these furry friends!
