Dr. Jennifer Koenig, DVM
Veterinarian
Dr. Koenig grew up on a farm in rural Wisconsin. Her family owned and raised dairy cows, dogs, cats, horses, goats, and sheep. She spent her childhood days gallivanting about on her horse for hours and caring for all the other critters in the barn. Dr. Koenig’s family and friends were not surprised when she pursued a career in veterinary medicine.
Dr. Koenig completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. She then continued her collegiate path at Iowa State University, earning a degree in 2006 from The College of Veterinary Medicine. Upon earning her DVM, she completed an equine internship in Scottsdale, Arizona. Soon after, she relocated to the Snohomish, WA, area, where she continued to practice equine medicine for an additional year before deciding to change her focus to dogs and cats. As a veterinarian, she enjoys the diversity of general practice with a particular interest in preventive care, dermatology, and chronic disease management.
In her free time, she enjoys snuggling with her two dogs, Booker (Boxer mix) and Monkey (American Staffordshire Terrier), hiking, photography, and horseback riding.
Dr. Koenig looks forward to meeting you and caring for your furry family members for years to come!

Dr. Cindy Menke, DVM
Associate Veterinarian
Dr. Menke started her career working with animals at an early age, growing up on a dairy farm in central Wisconsin. While her “official” duties may have been feeding the cows and helping with milking, her favorite job was always taking care of the many barn cats that always made the family farm their home.
She started veterinary school training at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. After getting married to her husband Dave, who was in the Air Force at the time, they moved out to North Carolina. There she finished her degree at North Carolina State University in 2002.
She practiced for a year in North Carolina before moving back to the Midwest. She continued her medical career at a small animal hospital in Wilmette, Illinois where she was on staff for 17 years, eventually becoming the Chief of Staff.
Ever since her early days on the dairy farm, her passion has been feline medicine. While she does love her adorable canine friends, the special bond she has developed with her feline patients, the unique way in which they communicate their needs and concerns, and often the special way in which those needs are best addressed, has driven her to try and rise to the challenge that cats provide. In her former practice she was proud to be the person the other doctors would turn to when cats with more challenging medical problems would come in.
She has a special interest in abdominal ultrasound, dentistry, senior wellness, and helping owners maintain an enriched indoor environment for their feline family members.
Outside of work, she enjoys being outdoors. Whether gardening, going for a bike ride or hiking, just seeing sunshine and blue skies make her happy. Dave, her two cats, Spencer and Chewie, and Dr. Menke are all looking forward to their new adventure in Arizona.

Dr. Courtney Follman, DVM
Veterinarian
Dr. Follman’s passion for kitties started at a very young age trying to dress them in cute costumes (she promises she’s fear free certified now!) and she quickly found her love for science/medicine along the way. Dr Follman graduated from the University of Tennessee with her Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and a minor in Biology. She has 8+ years of vet tech experience in the field prior to becoming a doctor. She continued her education at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine. She’s worked exclusively as a feline only doctor since graduation from veterinary school and enjoys doing relief shifts at local animal emergency clinics. Her passions in addition to emergency medicine include dermatology, internal medicine, senior, and preventative medicine. In her free time she enjoys pool days, traveling, and Netflix with Dr. Trembly and their 2 dogs and 3 cats (all orange-go vols!).

Dr. Jarrett Trembly, DVM
Veterinarian
Born with an innate love for cats, my first kitty was ‘smuggled’ home snuggly under my coat with the help of my older brother along with his favorite pick of the litter. My mom benevolently let us keep the set of brother kittens upon discovery, and ever since my best friend included my feline counterpart. From Colorado, I completed my undergraduate studies in Microbiology at Front Range Community College and Colorado State University. Throughout this journey before Vet school, I have had the good fortune to be a part of many wonderful opportunities such as post-grad work in molecular biology and research, construction, and working in the oilfield industry. With the dream always of becoming a Veterinarian, I completed Vet school at the University of Tennessee, then endeavored to Texas after graduation for internship opportunities. Throughout time, other hobbies and passions have included rodeo, baseball, cosmology, and a good fiction novel or movie. I’ve also recently tried my hand at Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and have been having much fun. I am so excited and humbled to help take care of your kitty; big, small, docile, feral, and everything in between!
