At Cat’s Corner our goal is to:
- Provide a clean and quiet environment for
our feline patients without the stresses found in a traditional
veterinary hospital
- Provide the latest in veterinary medical
technology and expert handling by a highly trained and certified staff
- Create personal and lasting relationships
with our clients and provide them with the necessary information
to allow them to make informed decisions about their cat’s
health and well being
- Promote preventative medicine to keep our
patients healthy and to allow them to live longer lives.
We strive to meet these goals because of our
love and commitment to our feline friends and our understanding
of the bond that you have with your cat as a member of your family.
| Dr. Erika Ball has been a
practicing veterinarian since her graduation from Virginia
Tech in 1997. She worked as an associate for 5 years before
becoming a “relief” veterinarian, which allowed
her to work in multiple hospital settings. This provided a
unique experience and learning opportunity as no two hospitals
are operated in the same way. She has dreamed of opening an
all feline veterinary hospital for years. She feels a strong
connection to her feline patients and strives to provide them
with a less stressful environment in which to recuperate and
thrive. She has a fantastic husband and two wonderful stepdaughters.
Her only pet is Punkin, an 11 year old long haired Calico
that doesn’t like other cats and insists on being an
“only child”. |
