Manager

Dr. Barbara Kirch is the Hospital Director of The Cat Hospital of Durham and Chapel Hill. A Chicago native, Dr. Kirch attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-​Champaign for her undergraduate work, then moved to North Carolina to attend graduate school at UNC-​Chapel Hill in the School of Information and Library Science. At the same time she found work as a veterinary assistant at a small animal clinic in Carrboro, NC. She soon realized that she preferred spending her time helping people help animals, so she changed her career path to veterinary medicine. She attended North Carolina State University (NCSU) for her veterinary training, graduating in 2002. After working in small animal general practices in Durham, NC and in Alexandria, VA, Dr. Kirch joined The Cat Hospital of Durham and Chapel Hill. She has been the primary full-​time veterinarian here since 2004. Dr. Kirch’s professional interests include feline dentistry, infectious disease, and the special needs of older cats.
