A Message from Linda: 

Like most in the field, I have been an animal lover all my life and wanted to be a veterinarian. I graduated in 1999 from UNC-Chapel Hill with a BA in English, then after a couple of years of being in the non-veterinary general work force, I decided to go back to school and graduated in 2003 from CCCC with my RVT degree.

Most of my career has been in general practice, with a couple years in Internal Medicine at a local specialty hospital. I love everything about surgery and anesthesia, and of course feline medicine. Veterinary medicine means a lifetime of learning and adapting and I have truly enjoyed the journey!

​

I have volunteered with Operation Catnip for 20 years. The once monthly surgery clinic is the perfect way to volunteer my skills as an RVT to curb the overpopulation of feral cats. I wear many hats with OC- clinic supervisor, volunteer coordinator, trap coordinator, inventory manager, board member, and voucher assistant.

In my free time I love watching sports (football, basketball, and soccer) and cheering on the Tar Heels. You may even catch me at a homecoming game playing my saxophone with the Marching Tar Heels. I share a home with my husband Adam and 6 cats, most of whom were pulled from Operation Catnip or another TNR program.
