Cindy McManis, DVM, Diplomate ABVP (Feline)

Dr. Cynthia McManis received her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Texas A&M University in 1985. She developed her interest in cats during her first year post-graduation. Little was known about cats at this time and they were treated like small dogs. She began to actively pursue more education and information regarding feline health care and joined the Academy of Feline Medicine in 1989. When the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners approved feline practice as a specialty board in 1995, she was in the first class to sit for the exam. Currently, she is 1 of only 70 ABVP certified feline practitioners in the world. Dr. McManis founded Just Cats Veterinary Services in 1994.

Outside of her clinic cases, she is a feline internal medicine consultant for Veterinary Information Network, a web based resource for veterinarians all over the world. She established an ABVP residency site at Just Cats in 2008 and mentors new graduates as well as seasoned practitioners who are interested in achieving ABVP certification.

Dr. McManis enjoys training and racing triathlons and has completed 5 Ironman events as well as many half irons and shorter distances. She also loves medical mystery novels, comedy films and challenging internal medicine cases. She is owned by 2 kitties - Amante ("Monty") and O'Malley at the hospital.
