Dr. A. Michelle Miller received her Bachelor’s degree in Zoology at Eastern Illinois University. She then graduated from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine in 1989. After graduation, she moved to Elkhart, Indiana and spent the next 11 years practicing general small animal medicine and surgery. While in Indiana, she served on the Board of Directors for the local Humane Society, spoke regularly at local schools about pet healthcare and vetted the cats for the local 4-H society's cat shows. It was during those years that Dr. Miller developed her interest in feline medicine as she realized that the feline population was underserved. Her favorite field is geriatric medicine and helping owners balance the myriad of health issues that beset the elderly cat. Dr. Miller is a member of: American Association of Feline Practitioners American Veterinary Medical Association Chicago Veterinary Medical Association To support a strong desire to concentrate her medical and surgical skills on only cats, Dr. Miller joined the Cat Clinic in 2001. She is owned currently by 2 cats; Pip a shy 14 year old and Dyna an outgoing and photogenic 3 year old that is often seen on the clinic's computer monitors. When not working she can usually be found in the garden or out cycling.
