Dr. Cathy Connelly

I truly have followed my dream.

Since I was very young I have always wanted to be a veterinarian and I never wavered from this goal. I graduated from Colorodo State University in 1993 from veterinary school.

I have never lost my passion for this profession. I attend continuing education yearly to increase my expertise in many aspects of veterinary medicine. I pursued and am still pursuing advanced veterinary education in multiple fields of study including: ultrasound and radiography, exotic animal species, veterinary dentistry, internal medicine, feline medicine, and soft tissue surgery.

I am passionate about animal care, disease prevention, wellness, and animal advocacy.

I had horses most of my life and was a three day eventer for many years. Currently I love riding my bicycle on the Parkway, hiking, reading, and cooking. I currently have a Golden Retriever named Rigel, three ferrets, chickens, and multiple cats. I have taken in many hadicapped cats that most people are not equipped to care for and take care of them in my home.
