Dr. Nina Quinley graduated from the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine in 2009. Born and raised in Connecticut, she moved to Davis for her undergraduate education and fell in love with Northern California. She and her partner have remained living in Davis with their 5 cats.
Dr. Quinley is a self-proclaimed continuing education junkie. One year after completing her DVM degree, she obtained her Master of Preventive Veterinary Medicine. She then went on to achieve Low Stress Handling Certification, completed a Don Low Fellowship in internal medicine at the UC Davis Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital, acquired Veterinary Acupuncture Certification, and most recently completed her board certification as a Feline Specialist.
After treating both dogs and cats in small animal general practice for 7 years, Dr. Quinley was thrilled to join River City Cat Clinic in 2017 and fulfill her passion for feline medicine full-time. Dr. Quinley believes in ensuring that every cat has the best experience possible at the vet clinic. She has a special interest in internal medicine and is enjoying the opportunity to help kitties through alternative pathways using acupuncture in addition to traditional medicine.
When not in the clinic, Dr. Quinley loves to cook, garden, travel, and read.
