We take a different approach. At The Cat Doctor, we practice preventative medicine, not crisis medicine. The idea is, if we can diagnosis a disease before the patient is sick, it’s often much easier and less costly to treat-and the prognosis is much better! MEET OUR STAFF Dr. Weigner often is asked, "Why do you specialize in cats?" His response: "Maybe, like a cat, it's my natural curiosity. There just isn't a whole lot known about feline medicine; it's still in its infancy. In veterinary school, we were taught to treat cats as 'small dogs'. They now know that's just not true." Dr. Nancy R. Stumpf, DVM Dr. Stumpf believes that her diverse business background has helped in her ability to communicate and relate to people. "In veterinary medicine, you not only must love animals, but also you really must truly enjoy interacting with people. It's this interaction with clients and their pets, helping to preserve and strengthen the bond between them. That's what makes this job so rewarding." Colleen Nevitt, Practice Manager When Colleen relocated to Atlanta in 2001, she was pleased to find The Cat Doctor where she could continue her passion for high quality specialty medicine. Colleen's philosophy of putting our clients and staff first complements The Cat Doctor's mission of providing feline specialty medicine to our clients and their cats in a relaxed, compassionate environment. With her experience and considerate nature, she adds a fun and supportive element to our already competent staff. "Working with the finest staff and devoted clients allows me to combine my love of people and cats - I have the best of both worlds!"

After graduating from the New York Institute of Technology in 1976 with a degree in Business Administration, she worked for J.C. Penney as an assistant buyer for several years. Subsequent jobs included advertising, sales, and customer service. With the encouragement and support of her husband, Gerry, Dr. Stumpf decided to change career paths and pursue a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine, ultimately graduating from North Carolina State University Veterinary School in 1994 and joining The Cat Doctor in 1995. 
Colleen brings more than 20 years of management experience to The Cat Doctor. Initially, she managed five general veterinary practices concurrently in Jacksonville, Florida. She was then introduced to specialty medicine, managing a veterinary surgical referral hospital for small animals.
