Meet our Veterinary Team in Fort Collins, CO

Caity

Caity began her journey at Animal Hospital of Colorado in 2015 after graduating from CSU with a BS in Animal Sciences. She has a soft spot for all things mutts, especially scruffy little terrier types. Her years of collaboration with All Aboard Animal Rescue have made her time in the veterinary field incredibly fulfilling. Supporting rescue animals in need of intensive medical care and witnessing their recovery and journey to loving homes makes every hard day worthwhile.

After seven years on the care team, Caity transitioned to the role of Practice Manager in 2022. She is excited about this new challenge and looks forward to helping the Animal Hospital of Colorado team continue to grow and thrive. Caity is passionate about creating a team culture of belonging where curiosity and growth can flourish.

Caity enjoys lounging with her 14-pound mutt, Indiana Jones, and reading sci-fi or fantasy in her free time. From backpacking and cat napping in the sun to searching for mushrooms and reptiles in the woods, Caity and Indy are always up for an outdoor adventure.

Dr. Angelica Gifford

Dr. Angelica Gifford, a Wisconsin native, embarked on her veterinary journey after moving to Colorado in 2011. She joined our team in 2013 as a veterinary assistant while pursuing her undergraduate studies at Colorado State University, where she earned her Bachelor’s in Biomedical Science. With a passion for animal care, she returned to CSU to obtain her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine, graduating in 2022.
In her downtime, Dr. Gifford is an outdoor enthusiast who loves paddle boarding and is a proud Green Bay Packers fan. When she’s not cheering on her team or exploring nature, you’ll find her gaming or snuggling up with her beloved pets: Indie, a Blue Heeler; Thor, a Border Collie mix; Pixel, a Domestic Shorthair; and Korra, a Bengal. Dr. Gifford’s commitment to her patients and her joy in caring for her own pets make her a cherished member of our veterinary family.

Dr. Eric Boehme

After a successful career in human medicine as a pharmacist and nuclear pharmacist, Dr. Eric Boehmer felt called to pursue his true passion: veterinary care. Growing up in New Mexico and later living in Texas, he witnessed firsthand the urgent need for rescue care for distressed animals. This inspired him to make a significant change, leading to the founding of Animal Hospital of Colorado in 2001, with a vision to eventually support an animal rescue.

In 2008, Dr. Boehmer’s dream became reality when he launched a nonprofit rescue organization, which has since flourished into All Aboard Animal Rescue. For over 16 years, Animal Hospital of Colorado has partnered closely with All Aboard to provide essential medical care for their foster dogs—and, more recently, foster cats. Rescue animals are not just a passion for Dr. Boehmer but the heartbeat of every decision made at Animal Hospital of Colorado.

When he’s not at the clinic, Dr. Boehmer enjoys unwinding at his cabin, spending quality time with his family and their rescue pets (2 dogs and 4 cats), and riding his motorcycle.
