Dr. Dorothy 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 cats, Ginny and Floyd. Dr. Dorothy rescued Ginny from the animal shelter in Oakville in 1996 before graduating from OVC, and they were inseparable until the end.
Floyd was in very rough shape when he first came to us with a severe eye injury and several wounds, but our team nursed him back to full health. Floyd was beyond grateful to Dr Dorothy and showered her with all of his love and affection until he passed from lung cancer.

Since then, Dr Dorothy shares her home and hospital with the many cats she has come across in need of rescue. She loves how every cat has a unique personality and each of her patients and rescues brings her a lot of joy. Right now, Dr Dorothy enjoys teaching her cats tricks that many people think that only dogs would perform like jumping through her arms and giving high fives.
Dr. Dorothy 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. She is also a member of the AAFP (American Association of Feline Practitioners) and OVMA (Ontario Veterinary Medical Association).
