  Hi, my name is Torina Feyh, and I am one of the Associate Veterinarians here at VCA Forestville. My first "kids" are Sullivan, a goofy, clumsy yellow lab who thinks he is a lap dog, and Potomus, an orange tabby zen clown of a cat. Next came my daughter, Adalie, born in 2005 and my son, Baylen, born in 2008. I graduated from Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1997, following in the footsteps of my grandfather and uncle. I completed a Small Animal Medicine and Surgery Internship in Mesa, Arizona in 1998. My husband and I enjoy travel, and had dreamed for years of seeing the wildlife in Africa, so we packed a few things on our backs and set our in 2000 to back pack around 9 countries in Southern and Eastern Africa for nearly a year. Although hard to settle permanently after such an exhilarating journey, we finally landed in Sebastopol in 2002 where I became part of this lovely VCA Forestville Animal Hospital family. I spend my time outside of work savoring every bit of young years my kids have left, playing, imagining, and exploring the outdoors. My interests run far and wide, but at this moment, one of my favorite things to do is camp in the mountains with my family.

  My name is Ashley Parra and I am the Medical Director and associate veterinarian here at VCA Forestville Animal Hospital. I grew up here in wonderful Sonoma County. My father is a local veterinarian and the majority of my childhood and teenage years were spent at my parent's clinic. I completed my undergraduate (Animal Biology), masters (Comparative Pathology) and veterinary degrees at UC Davis (GO AGGIES!). While an undergraduate, I played the string bass in the UC Davis Symphony Orchestra. During a UCDSO tour in France, I fell in love with international travel. The following year, I spent a year studying abroad in York, UK. I was very involved with the UC Davis Orphan Kitten Project while in vet school. Fostering Kittens(especially bottle babies) is a guilty pleasure and kitten season keeps me busy. Following my graduation from UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine in 2011, I worked as an associate veterinarian in the East Bay. I missed the slower pace of Sonoma County and decided to move home. I love being a part of the VCA Forestville Animal Hospital family and I couldn't ask for better patients. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, weekend adventures, listening to music, and drinking wine. My current herd includes two kitties (Radar and Bruce) and a crazy little dog (Batman).

  Education:

• Jill Hoffman

  DVM

  As a little girl growing up in Fremont, my sister and I would spend hours and hours catching and taming the feral cats on our property and taking them next door to Fremont Animal Hospital to be spayed and neutered . I would watch the surgeries as a kid, and then when I was old enough I starting helping and worked for Fremont Animal Hospital throughout my childhood. My love of animals led me to study biology and zoology at Humboldt State University and then Veterinary Medicine at UC Davis. I graduated from UC Davis in 2002 and have practiced as a small animal veterinarian in San Jose, CA prior to joining VCA Forestville in 2013. My husband and I have missed the North Coast ever since our years spent in Humboldt. We are excited to be in Sonoma County where we can enjoy the outdoors with our two dogs, Doja, a yellow Labrador retriever, and Makana, a German Shepherd Dog. Some of our favorite activities are hiking, camping, and going to the river and the beach with our dogs. We also enjoy travel to far off places and meeting new people or lounging on tropical beaches. I am excited to be a part of the wonderful team of animal lovers at Forestville Animal Hospital, and I look forward to many new adventures here.
