Dr. Norman Bayne
We are delighted to be working with Dr. Bayne at the Feline Hotel. With over forty years of experience in feline veterinary care, Dr. Bayne brings a wealth of knowledge and a deep passion for cats to our facility. A proud graduate of Michigan State University in 1981, Dr. Bayne has dedicated his career to providing compassionate and specialized care for our feline friends.
Living just across the street from our feline hotel, Dr. Bayne is a convenient and committed addition to our team. He is married with four children, and two grandchildren who bring joy to his life. In his semi-retirement, Dr. Bayne looks forward to spending more time with his family and perhaps welcoming more grandchildren in the future. A lover of college sports and Major League Baseball, Dr. Bayne can often be found watching the Detroit Tigers.
His home is also graced by Paws, a dignified cat who, according to Dr. Bayne, rules the household with grace and keeps everything in tune.
Specializing in feline care, Dr. Bayne is dedicated to providing exceptional veterinary services to our guests. His goal is to continue his lifelong dedication to the well-being of cats while enjoying the slower pace of semi-retirement.
We are excited to have Dr. Bayne on board and know that his expertise and compassionate approach will greatly benefit both our feline guests and their owners.
