Known for his exceptional ability to connect with cats, Dr. Watson has earned a well-deserved reputation among both colleagues and clients for compassionate, skilled, and thoughtful feline care.

Dr. Jennifer Marzec

D.V.M.

A devoted advocate for feline health, Dr. Marzec discovered early in veterinary school that cats often weren’t receiving the specialized attention they deserve. Recognizing her natural connection with cats, she has worked exclusively with feline patients since graduating. Prior to joining College Station Cat Clinic, she practiced at two feline-only clinics in Chicago.

Dr. Marzec served as vice president of the student chapter of the American Association of Feline Practitioners and graduated Summa Cum Laude from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine. Her special interests include internal medicine, feline behavior, nutrition, and preventative care. She strongly believes in client education, working closely with pet owners to provide the best possible care for her patients.

At home in Naperville, she shares her life with her husband, two children, and three cats: Jones, Penny, and Pinx the Sphynx.

Dr. Winterowd has pursued advanced coursework in feline ultrasound, medicine, and surgery. She is an active member of several veterinary organizations, including the Feline Veterinary Medical Association, the Illinois State Veterinary Medical Association, and the American Veterinary Medical Association.
