Owner/Veterinarian

Dr. Johnston has considered Tucson home since 2003. She grew up in Michigan and is a graduate of Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Go Green!

In 2022, she was able to realize her dream of owning a cat-only practice when she purchased the Cat Hospital of Tucson. She is passionate about comprehensive cat well-being, especially pain management and the delicate balance of care for geriatric felines. As such, she is committed to advancing her knowledge and providing education to her colleagues and cat parents.

She is a member of the AVMA, AzVMA, SAVMA, IVAPM, and most importantly, the American Association of Feline Professionals (AAFP). She is certified in Veterinary Acupuncture as well. She lives with her partner and their 4 cats and 3 dogs. During her free time, she enjoys all that Tucson has to offer, like great food, unique people, mountain hikes, and spectacular sunsets.
