Dr. Patricia L. Lane, D.V.M.
Dr. Lane is a native Georgian and a 1980 cum laude graduate of the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. After ten years of experience in a general practice (yes, she even worked with cows and horses) and three years as a veterinary nutritional consultant with Hill's, she was able to realize her lifelong dream of a feline practice. In 1994, Dr. Lane opened the Cat Clinic of Cobb. Why cats? "Cats are unique in all the world. They purr like people sing, just to make a joyful noise. They love you enough to share a mouse with you, then distrust you enough to hide their illnesses. I feel privileged just to hold a cat, because you're always holding a little bit of a tiger, too. Treating them is both a pleasure and a challenge." |

Dr. Lynn Bahr, D.V.M.
Dr. Lynn Bahr graduated from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine in 1991. Her interest in feline medicine began in 1980, when she was adopted by a gray and white cat named Rudolph. It was Rudolph who inspired her to become a veterinarian with the goal of improving and enhancing the lives of cats and their owners. Dr. Bahr lives in East Cobb with her husband, their son, three dogs and one cat.

Dr. Meghan G. Maasen, D.V.M.
Dr. Maasen graduated from Auburn University's College of Veterinary Medicine in 2010. Since a young age, Dr. Maasen knew she wanted to be a "cat vet" and is thrilled that her dream has become a reality at the Cat Clinic of Cobb. She is a native of St. Louis, Missouri, but relocated to Madison, Alabama in 1997 and quickly grew to love life in the Southeast, especially the college football. She shares her home with her two cats, Dane (the definition of a mama's boy) and Darby (her troublemaker). Dr. Maasen hopes to bring some fresh new ideas to the Cat Clinic of Cobb and is excited to meet you and your cats.

Jan Jacob
Jan Jacob just became our practice manager in 2007, but she joined Cat Clinic of Cobb with many years of experience. After over ten years in the human medical field, Jan spent sixteen years at Cats at Delk Spectrum, the first feline practice in Cobb County. "It has been very exciting for me to witness the changes that have taken place in veterinary medicine, and in particular feline medicine", says Jan. “Indoor, well cared for cats can possibly live into their early 20's now, thanks to some of those advances in feline diagnostics. I find it very rewarding to assist not only the veterinarian, but also the owners and their special feline friends.” At home, Jan has five demanding cats ranging in age from four to fifteen years. They have her well trained in combing, petting, watching TV, and playing laser tag.

Stacey Richolson, RVT
Stacey's career in veterinary medicine began in 1996 and has taken her from receptionist to Registered Veterinary Technician. She is a 1999 graduate of Auburn University and a 2004 graduate of the Veterinary Technology Program at Gwinnett Technical College. Her dream has always been to work exclusively with cats and their parents. She shares her home with her husband and eight cats: Azriel, Moonbaby, Grozny, Renfield, Possum (an evacuee from Hurricane Katrina), The Duke, Bucky and Ted. When Stacey is not caring for kitties (hers, fosters, and those at CCC), she is often reading about animals, medicine, or history, attending concerts, or spending time with friends and family.

Candice Sikora Sides, RVT
Candice began her career in veterinary medicine in 1999, and in 2008 she passed the National Veterinary Technician Exam to become a Registered Veterinary Technician. She has worked with dogs, cats, exotics, and in emergency medicine, but her belief that cats need special treatment and care brought her to the Cat Clinic of Cobb in 2010. Her family consists of her loving, energetic husband, four cats (Donnie, Mordicai, LaiLu, and Kitty), two dogs (Simone and Charlotte), and two rats (Winnie and Myers). In a strange twist of fate, Candice is the third Candice/Candy to join the Cat Clinic of Cobb. |

Candy Wisniewski
Candy has been our receptionist at the Cat Clinic of Cobb since the first year that we opened, in 1994, so she enjoys greeting all the kitties who come in (and their parents, too) as old friends. She is happy to help answer questions, arrange appointments, and make your visits to our hospital pleasant and informative. If you would like to tour our clinic, she would love to be your guide. She is especially proud of the Bed and Breakfast.

Sylvia Fowler
Sylvia has been in the veterinary field since 2001, starting out as a kennel assistant, then working as a veterinary assistant and finally moving to our receptionist position in 2006. She is not a new face to the Cat Clinic of Cobb, however. She previously worked with us and left in 2003 to have her baby girl. She enjoys many aspects of the veterinary field, but prefers the felines because of their diverse personalities and very special ways of letting you know that "I am not getting enough attention!" Sylvia is married to husband Matthew with two beautiful daughters, Arielle and Gabriella. And of course the other family members include Stripes, Sadia, Chispa, Pez and Reeses (the kitties), her doggies Hannah and Belle, and her spoiled birdie Tweeter, the cockatiel. |

Chloe Daniell
Chloe joined us as a Veterinary Assistant in 2004, but she has worked in veterinary hospitals since she was in high school. This career was a given for a lady who has been in love with animals since Samantha the cat came into her life when she was a four year old child. Today she claims that her children are a Shitzu named C.J. (the Waffle House Stray), an orange tabby named Tigger (straight from Animal Control), Lizzie the cantankerous Manx, Tabby the former feral, Sally the beagle mix, Maxon the German Shepherd rescue, Kendel & Bailey the black and white rescued kitties, and Romeo (the sweetest grey kitty, also from animal control). Her passion is riding and training Nate, her new equine addition. Chloe has started working toward her degree as a Certified Veterinary Technician, and both the Cat Clinic of Cobb and her furry friends are very proud of her. |

Jeni Griffin is not a new comer to the Cat Clinic of Cobb. She has loved animals and wanted to experience the joy of caring for them since she was a young child. During her high school career in 1995, she worked at the Cat Clinic as a kennel assistant. Upon graduating from high school, she left CCC to study Veterinary Technology.

Every day we receive compliments on the cleanliness of our clinic. People always say that the Cat Clinic of Cobb doesn't look or smell like a veterinary hospital. Well, it isn't easy, and we would like for you to know about the ladies who work hard to make it happen. We currently have three Bed & Breakfast Managers: Amber Watson, Kristen Demonbreun, and Sara Stockman. They come in early every morning and return again each afternoon to be sure that our patients and visitors are comfortable and our hospital is spotless. They are an important part of our team, and we could not do without them.
