Dr. Kristine Hoyt
Dr. Hoyt grew up in Cumberland, Maine. After graduating from Bowdoin College, she conducted cancer research at the Medical School of Bern, Switzerland. She did Masters work in clinical nutrition at University of Illinois before receiving her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Wisconsin in 1990.
She initially trained to work with zoo animals at both the San Diego Zoo and Marine World, before completing an internship in small animal surgery and medicine. She has been specializing in cats since 1991.
In the summer of 2010, she traveled to Botswana, where she worked in the bush, tracking leopards for the purpose of placing radio collars. She lives at Higgins Beach with her husband, daughter, three cats, and one dog who thinks she is a cat.
Kahmeer
On November 10, 2008, our four-footed staff member joined us by getting underneath Dr. Hoyt's car at a parking lot near the library. He heard that there was an opening at Cats on Call. It was quickly apparent to us that his skills were great, not only in donating blood, but also in grief counseling.
Kahmeer's daily duties as official greeter are very entertaining, not only to our clients, but also to those who deliver mail or live in the neighborhood. His secret desire is to someday be on David Letterman. We invite you all to come meet Kahmeer, see his newest trick, and get one of his famous nose kisses.
Wendy Part Time Veterinary Assistant
Wendy is our Saturday Assistant who fills in when our regular staff is on vacation. She has many years of work in shelter medicine and raising kitten orphans. She hopes to return to a regular schedule once her two young children are in school. For now, she keeps busy teaching Salsa as well.
