Dr. Becky Elfers graduated from Washington State University, College

of Veterinary Medicine in 1983. Becky and her husband Brian purchased Colfax Veterinary Hospital from Dr. Richard Long in July 1983 and operated as a full service, small animal clinic for 18 years.

In 2001, Dr. Elfers decided to downsize and specialize in feline medicine.  The name was changed to Colfax Cat Clinic and the schedule changed to part time, allowing Dr. Elfers time to pursue other interests. In May 2006 she received her teaching certificate and currently works as a substitute highschool teacher.  Her favorite moments are when students get excited to learn because they see how a lesson connects to real life.  Basic veterinary services are provided (well pet exams, vaccinations, spays and neuters) while more complicated cases are referred.
