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 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 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. |

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 nine cats: Ratface, Azriel, Moonbaby, Grozny, Renfield, Possum (an evacuee from Hurricane Katrina), The Duke, Bucky and Ted. 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 is currently concentrating on classes to obtain her degree as a Certified Veterinary Technician.

Heather LeBrun Heather is the newest addition to the Cat Clinic of Cobb. She graduated from Georgia State University as an Art History major, but after working in the veterinary world, she has come to realize that animals, especially cats, are her passion. She has begun classes at Gwinnett Technicial College working towards becoming a Certified Veterinary Technician. She shares her home with three cats. Catfurr, her first kitty, was found as a stray kitten in 2006. Soon after, Dora the calico was adopted from Good Mews. Heather thought she was at kitty capacity until Dagmar, the orange tabby discovered Heather's cat-friendly home and moved in. In her spare time, Heather enjoys bicycling, jogging, reading, discovering new music, and concert-going. |

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, Savannah Els, and Kristen Demonbreun. 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. |
