Dear Cat Clinic Family,
Many of you know that I recently reduced my hours. Now, I have some very exciting news. For some time I have been actively searching for just the right doctor to join the Cat Clinic at Cherry Hill and become its new owner. My standards were high. I had to find someone who shared my deep love and appreciation for our feline family members, but who also had the medical skills to propel the Cat Clinic forward in the ever evolving field of feline medicine and surgery. I have the great pleasure of announcing that I have found such a veterinarian. She is Dr. Amanda Kennedy, and she will be taking over the reins at the Cat Clinic and moving it forward into the future, together with myself, Dr. Schreiber and Dr. Todd, who you already know (and love), and our excellent support staff.
Like me, Dr. Kennedy has the rare distinction of holding a board certification in feline practice from the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners. She graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine at the esteemed Cornell University in 2017, after which she completed a two-year residency in feline practice. She has practiced at two busy feline-only veterinary clinics in Columbus, OH and in Guilderland, NY where she was the medical director.
The Cat Clinic at Cherry Hill has been my life’s work and commitment, and I am pleased to remain part of it. With Dr. Kennedy, the future of this beloved practice is in the most capable hands. Our hours are restored, and the quality of our practice is further exceeded. I know you will join me in welcoming her warmly.
Sincerely,
John J. McCauley, VMD
Hello Everyone!
I am honored and excited to introduce myself as the new owner and veterinarian at the Cat Clinic at Cherry Hill. Dr. McCauley has fostered and developed this practice into a truly special place over the last 28 years. It is with immense gratitude that I step into this role, joining a team that has built a strong and trusted reputation for compassionate, high-quality feline care.
I am originally from Bucks County, Pennsylvania and am so happy to be closer to family than I have been in a long time. I am an active member of the Feline Veterinary Medical Association, the American Veterinary Medical Association, and the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, and currently serve on several committees. I have had research publications in the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery, the Feline Practitioner Magazine, and I continue to participate in clinical research to advance the field of feline medicine. I look forward to bringing exciting new clinical trials to the Cat Clinic at Cherry Hill in the future. My special interests include complex internal medicine cases, pain management, and geriatric medicine. I am also experienced in abdominal ultrasound, advanced dentistry and several feline-specific surgical procedures.
I consider myself so lucky that I get to work with cats every day and with a group of people who also understand how special they are. I have always believed that cats deserve a veterinarian that understands their unique behaviors, illnesses, and physiology. I feel fortunate to be working alongside Dr. McCauley, whose continued presence in a part-time role brings both continuity and a familiar face for many of our long-time clients. I share that same deep commitment to the specialized needs of cats, and I’m honored to build upon the outstanding foundation Dr. McCauley has created.
As we move forward, my goal is to continue building relationships with you and your beloved pets—honoring the traditions of the practice while also bringing fresh energy and ideas to ensure we provide the best possible care.
Thank you for welcoming me into this wonderful community.
Sincerely,
Amanda Kennedy, DVM
