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." |

Ed, a very special cat. |

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 two
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 six
demanding cats ranging in age from four to eighteen years.
They have her well trained in combing, petting, watching TV, and
playing laser tag. |

Shannon
Huskins Shannon, our Registered Veterinary
Technician, is shown here with Laura Ashley, just one of her seven
feline companions. Shannon has been involved in veterinary medicine
since 1997 and has worked exclusively with feline medicine since
1999. Her love for cats drew her away from a career in
environmental biology and led her straight to the world of lab
coats, stethoscopes and litter boxes! A graduate from Georgia Tech,
Shannon's interests and hobbies include all sports (both playing
and watching), hiking, bicycling, reading, coin collecting and rock
collecting. When Shannon is not working at the Cat Clinic, she
spends her time fostering stray cats, pet sitting, working at the
Humane Society and enjoying time with friends and family. Shannon
has truly become the epitome of "a cat fanatic". Just ask her and
she will tell you that she wouldn't have it any other way! |

Stacey
Richolson Stacey's career in veterinary
medicine began in 1996 and has taken her from receptionist to
Registered Veterinary Technician. She is a graduate of Auburn
University and 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 seven cats: Ratface, Nick, Azriel,
Moonbaby, Grozny, Renfield and newest addition Possum, an evacuee
from Hurricane Katrina. When Stacey is not caring for kitties
(hers and those at CCC), she is often reading about animals,
medicine or history, attending concerts, or spending time with
friends and family. |

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 worked with us
two years ago and left us 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 (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), and Lizzie the cantankerous Manx, but her passion is riding and showing hunter/jumpers.
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.

Candice Cremeans Candice joined the Cat Clinic of Cobb in 2007 after 6 years of
experience in emergency and general veterinary medicine. She has
experience with dogs and cats, but has chosen to work at CCC with her
favorite, CATS! She has a great connection with all of her
patients and believes that TLC is the best medicine of all. When
she is not caring for the kitties at CCC, she is lovin' on her family
of four at home. Bristol is a handsome black kitty with 3
legs. Then there is Billy B.A.; he was found in the woods at just
one day old. Pinky and Panda are the 2 newest additions.
They choose not to speak of Dakota, the German Shepherd. Candice
plans to add to her family in the future but has all she needs for now. |

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 four Bed & Breakfast Managers:
Samantha Tucker, Nikita Richardson, Abby Johnson, and Amber
Watson. They come in early every morning and return again
after school 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. |
