Dr. Billie Bensen Martin, DVM

Dr. Martin is the heart, soul, and driving force of the Sacramento Cat Hospital. She graduated from the University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine in 1984. Originally she was trained as an equine veterinarian. Dr. Martin spent 5 years in small animal medicine before focusing on feline medicine. 

In 1989, Dr. Martin purchased the Sacramento Cat Hospital. She is dedicated to providing the best medical care to cats and the best service to our clients. Dr. Martin is a progressive and inspiring veterinarian, always encouraging her team to expand their knowledge base and experience. She has a special interest in behavioral medicine, dermatology, and ophthalmology. 

Dr. Les graduated from the University of California, Davis and hung out his shingle as the only veterinarian within a 60-mile radius of Weaverville, CA. He later went into academia, for more than 30 years writing orthopedic materials and doing epidemiology research. He taught anatomy, histology, neurology, and statistics at NASA, the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, and the veterinary schools at Illinois, UC Davis, and Michigan State. He also served clinically during the Foot-and-Mouth Disease epidemic in Northern England. 

Dr. Les comes to Sacramento Cat Hospital returning to his first love, cats. He is owned, if not possessed, by an 18-year-old longhaired Snowshoe named Brighid ("We prefer 'Your Majesty'"), and a three-legged subversive Tortie named Peg.

As a recent graduate of the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Holmes has been provided with a strong educational foundation in clinical medicine. Dr. Holmes used her surgical skills, such as spaying and neutering through externships at the Sacramento SPCA and the Woodland Public Animal Shelter. Dr. Holmes also volunteered as an Orphan Kitten Project Coordinator, a student run organization, which provided medical care and support for cats in foster care as well as volunteered with Community for Cats Coalition.

We are excited to have Dr. Holmes skill and expertise as part of our Sacramento Cat Hospital team!
