The barn environment and peaceful country setting contribute to our quiet and natural environment that help cats feel happy, safe, and in which they flourish and heal quickly.

Dr. L. Ruey Stocking

Dr. Ruey loves cats!

She is the owner and veterinarian at our feline exclusive cat clinic where she looks forward to serving the needs of your cats. Her special interests are feline surgery and dentistry and helping the cat population stay under control through spaying and neutering cats, including feral and barn cats.

Dr. Stocking lives on the premises in a historic home that she and her husband have been renovating since 2013. Living on site allows her to provide 24-hour care to patients when required.

Dr. Ruey obtained her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Ross University in St. Kitts, in the British West Indies after completing her senior veterinary clinical year in 1997 at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

As well as building and running her first feline practice, Cat Hospital of Saskatoon, in Canada, Dr. Stocking has worked as a small animal veterinarian in general practice in the USA, Canada and the Caribbean.

She was an assistant professor at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine from 2008-2011 and loved the experience of working with and coaching veterinary students in emergency medicine, surgery and clinical skills and feline handling labs.

Dr. Stocking feels strongly that it is wrong to surgically declaw cats and as a result we are a Paw Friendly Clinic. She is one of two Michigan Co-directors of The Paw Project and promotes cats keeping their paws and claws intact, offering humane alternatives to surgical declawing. No cat has ever been declawed in one of her clinics.

Since 2002 Dr. Ruey has been a member of the Feline Veterinary Medical Association and regularly attends continuing education conferences for feline-exclusive veterinarians.

“"Everyone was friendly, kind and accommodating here. The clinic is beautiful. It is clear that Dr. Stocking wants all her feline patients to be as comfortable and as healthy as possible."

Lea Martin, owner of "Ellie", "Jinx" and "Rigby".
