We're thrilled to announce the newest addition to our team at VCA Colonial Animal Hospital. Please join us in welcoming Melissa Manning as our hospital manager!

Melissa will be working directly with our hospital director, Kimberly Baldwin, and medical director, Dr Cortright, to provide excellent patient care for the clients, patients, and referring veterinarians we serve.  Melissa brings a wealth of experience and a passion for animal care to our General Practice, Specialty, and Emergency Veterinary Hospital. With her dedication to excellence and love for furry friends, we know she'll make a tremendous impact on our team and our beloved patients and the families that love them.

Have questions or want to learn more about our services? Melissa is here for you! Feel free to give our office a call at 607-257-3650. She's eager to assist and answer any inquiries you may have.

Outside of work, Melissa cherishes spending time outdoors, especially with her two adorable dogs, Gemma Jean (English Bulldog, 1.5 years old) and Lexie (Pug, 14 years old). She finds joy in family gatherings and loves nothing more than playful moments with her furry companions.

Melissa resides in Ithaca with her husband, making her not just a valuable addition to our team but also a cherished member of our community.

Let's give a warm welcome to Melissa—we're lucky to have her on board!
