Dr. Nancy Christensen, a native Houstonian and graduate of Lamar High School, completed her undergraduate degree at Tulane University. Ties to Houston brought her back to the city where she pursued her dream of becoming a veterinarian.  Dr. Christensen completed her DVM from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine in 2003. Dr. Christensen has a long history with the Cat Veterinary Clinic. As a child, she and her mother would bring their family cats to see Dr. Pennings, the original owner of the clinic. Later on, she worked as a full-time vet technician for Dr. Runté at the clinic and got to know many of the patients who would eventually become her patients as a veterinarian. Dr. Christensen loves the relationship she builds with her patients and their owners.

Dr. Christensen is a member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners, American Veterinary Medical Association, Texas Veterinary Medical Association, and Harris County Veterinary Medical Association.

Dr. Christensen and her husband have a daughter, two sons, and a houseful of animals. The family enjoys outdoor adventures and often walk or bike together. Dr. C loves to throw baseballs with her sons and going on runs with her daughter. In her rare moments of quiet time, she enjoys early morning devotion time with a warm cup of coffee.

After seven years of school in College Station, Dr. Matthew Filip returned to his hometown in 2003 with a doctorate degree from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine. His decision to focus specifically on cats was largely influenced by his admiration for feline vets involved in his training. Ever since he has never regretted the decision to work in a small clinic far away from the howling of beagles and teeth of chihuahuas.

With his focus narrowed to one species, he has been able to explore an interest in what he considers the most common problems affecting cats, especially dentistry and dietary management. He hopes that before he retires, he will see a decline in the incidence of the leading illness affecting older cats - chronic progressive kidney dysfunction - and believes that proper preventative care and dentistry will accomplish that goal.

Dr. Filip resides in nearby Timbergrove with his wife Amanda, his daughter Anna, his sons William and James, their dog and two cats.  He enjoys cooking vegetarian meals, reading on his Kindle, and playing strategy-based board and card games.

Dr. Meghan Tibbs was born and raised in central Illinois.  After completing her bachelor's degree at Eastern Illinois University, she headed to the sunshine state where she received her veterinary degree from the University of Florida.  She has furthered her training by becoming certified in small animal acupuncture through the Chi Institute of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine.

Dr. Tibbs is a member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners and the American Veterinary Medical Association.  Her favorite aspect of feline patient care is finding a good balance between the family and their pet by discovering ways to keep medication to a minimum, while still providing a good quality of life. She feels it's important to manage chronic diseases with as little stress as possible.

When Dr. Tibbs is not at the Cat Veterinary Clinic caring for her patients, she is spending her time with her own cats: Peanut, Jelly and Mojo.  She also enjoys yoga, the beach, antiquing, traveling, and going to see live music.

Dr. Erin Wilkens was born and raised in Marshall, a small town in Northeast Texas.  She went to undergraduate school at the University of Texas at Tyler where she graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Biology.  After graduation, she was employed by 2 different wineries before pursuing a career in veterinary medicine.  She longed for a more challenging and satisfying career and had always kept the thought of becoming a veterinarian in the back of her mind. Upon starting vet school at Texas A&M, she discovered a love for working with cats. Growing up she had always enjoyed having cats as pets, but now she saw them on a whole new level.  She noticed, when compared to dogs, cats were often misunderstood and the treatment options were more limited.  She decided she wanted to become more knowledgeable about cats so she could share that knowledge with other cat owners.

Dr. Wilkens is a member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners, American Veterinary Medical Association, and Texas Veterinary Medical Association.  She enjoys educating clients on common diseases and internal medicine cases.

Outside of the Cat Clinic, Dr. Wilkens loves to garden, refinish old furniture, and visit Texas wineries.  Dr. Wilkens and her husband Kevin have 4 wonderful fur babies at home - a dog named Sherlock, and 3 cats Po, Heidi, and Choco - as well as two beautiful children.
