Leslie Cathleen Redeker, DVM

Dr. Cathy Redeker knew she wanted to be a veterinarian in the sixth grade. She comes by her love of animals naturally. She grew up with lots of horses (her parents raise race horses), dogs, cats, sheep, goats and her brother and sister’s cows! She was active in 4-H with horse, sheep and Veterinary Science projects as well as Horse Judging and Livestock Judging. She also showed Hunter-Jumpers and competed in Combined Training. There was always something that needed veterinary attention!

She is a longtime Douglas County resident and 1981 Douglas County High School graduate. She attended Veterinary School at Colorado State University and graduated in 1988. She returned there to become a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist in 2008. She worked at a mixed animal practice in Castle Rock for 10 years before starting Abbe Hills Animal Hospital in 1998.

Dr. Redeker feels privileged to be a part of the Veterinary Medicine field. She is passionate about keeping 4- legged family members happy, healthy and as pain free as possible! The friendships and relationships she has made with clients along the way are something she feels very grateful for.

Dr. Redeker has a wonderful and patient husband and daughter who often are helping out in the clinic. They have two Australian Cattle Dogs – Blue is the naughty but adorable one and Ruby is the sweet, vision impaired one! (Source)
