Our Staff
Dr. Upholt
is a graduate of the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. After two years in the Air Force in Abilene Texas, he opened a mixed practice in Mt. Pocono, PA. After twelve years he sold the practice and moved to Marathon, NY where he and his wife operate a thoroughbred horse farm. After several years of relief work he decided to start a new practice devoted only to cats. He still has the horse farm and commutes daily to Fayetteville. He has a special intrest in geriatric cats, including several of his own.
Christine
Christine started with the Doctor opening day of the practice. She takes care of the cats, the clients, and tries to keep the office on time and running smooth. She lives in Lacona with her husband John, 3 cats ( Milo, Keira, and Mika) and 1 dog Obie.
Collene
Just joined our office this past September 2013. As the newest member of our team she is determined to make our office run as smooth as possible. As our receptionist she is often the first person our clients will speak to as well as the last. Collene answers the phones, makes appointments, helps fill medication refill requests, calls and sends appointment reminders, checks in patients, and helps complete you visit. She says "I have a lot to learn but am up for the challenge". Collene lives in Fulton with her husband, 3 kids, 3 dogs (Nellie, Mya, & Rollie) and 2 cats Olivia Kitty and Oliver.

I really love this vet clinic. I have a 12 year old kitty who has an ongoing condition, and Cats Pref has been amazing to work with to solve her problems. They truly care about cats and I always feel like I get top-notch information and care when I come in. Perhaps the only negative is the cost as I do think their care comes at a premium, but I'm clearly willing to spend the money when it comes to my fluffball. I also never feel shamed if I choose not to get a treatment, and the best thing is they print an estimate right up front so you're never blindsided by costs (why don't our medical doctors do that??!)

I have taken my cats to this clinic for 15 years. That loyalty is due to the care given by this group of knowledgeable and sensitive vets. The exams and treatment recommendations are thorough and referrals to specialty clinics for cancer, ophthalmology, etc. are done quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend this clinic.

Our family has taken our cats to Cats Preferred since they opened. We had previously gone to another vet who misdiagnosed our kitten with an autoimmune disease, who also suggested euthanasia before we got too attached. We went for a second opinion with Dr. Sassen at Cats Preferred who diagnosed her with a food allergy. Our sweet Callie lived for over 20 years! Ever since then, we have taken our cats here. They offer loving and calm care for nervous cats. We would never go anywhere else!

Cats preferred has always been my place for my pets. They are very considerate when it comes time to have to your pet put down. 3 years ago my beautiful Oliver had to be put down. It was so emotional for my husband. and me. Everyone there was so helpful in dealing with this. Also when he had to have emergency surgery they took him the next morning from the emergency vet and keep him until I could take him home. THEY ARE THE BEST.

This place was referred to me by someone who fosters many cats. My first furry baby is an older cat that I adopted, and it's been a great experience bringing her here.

We have been bringing our cats to Cats Preferred for about ten years. We also have a dog, but we really like having a veterinary clinic exclusive to cats--no dogs causing the cats additional stress for their visits. The staff is always so friendly and helpful, and, most importantly, their knowledge of cats is superior. We currently have three cats and all three have had their regular exams and surgeries (neutering and dental) done at Cats Preferred for their entire lives (they range in age from 8 to 10). All their veterinary services have been performed with care, expertise and excellent results, and at what we thought were very fair rates. They also go beyond the call of duty--one of our cats gets sick traveling in the car and inevitably messes up his carrier and himself every time. They gently clean everything up. And, the cats like the staff so much--they're so kind and gentle with them. Our highest praise to Cats Preferred!

My cat Tabitha is being treated at Cats Preferred for a couple of health problems. A blood test revealed kidney disease. Unusual in such a young cat. They are very well organized from the front desk to the Vet Techs to the Doctors. My visits go very smoothly. My cat can be aggressive when in unfamiliar surroundings. They are able to deal with her. Dr. Buckley is really great about keeping tabs on Tabitha. The Technicians are amazing! Very knowledgeable! Lots of patience in showing me how to do things. This is a great clinic!!
Highly recommend.

Cats Preferred is wonderful with a caring and professional team. Last year we went through a heart murmur scare and I'm so grateful for the knowledge and expertise of the providers. I'm grateful we were able to rule out heart disease. We use Cat's Preferred for Zoe's annual check up as well as occasional boarding. I am confident that she is well cared for. I highly recommend Cat's Preferred.
