Carrie Burhenn joined the practice on July 7, 1990 as a full time veterinarian. She received her degree in Veterinary Medicine from Oregon State University in 1990. In 1998, she received the specialty certification, diplomate ABVP feline practice.

Carrie enjoys working at the Feline Medical Clinic because of the combination of clients, cats and staff that support each other in the common goal of improving our pet's lives through progressive medicine.
She currently owns only one cat, Chester (2001). He is an orange tabby who is incompatible with other cats. He has been an ongoing project of cat psychology and behavior.

Carrie spends her free moments collecting old books on Africa, drawing, painting, making life-size paper mache camel head sculptures (and other eclectica). She also enjoys bicycling/touring and international adventure traveling to learn more about other people and cultures.

Cathy King has been with the Feline Medical Clinic since 1991. She received her BS in Biology and Animal Science in 1986 from Oregon State University. In 1991, she received her Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Minnesota.
Witnessing the animal-human bond experiences, meeting the variety of cats and their owners, and hearing stories from clients about their cats are what Cathy values most as a clinic doctor. She also takes pleasure in working closely with our great staff.
When she's not being a dedicated veterinarian, Cathy enjoys being a dedicated wife and mom -- watching her two daughters, Lindley and Robyn, play various sports, reading, cooking and baking.
Cathy has four cats: Smokey, Jitterbug, Java Creme and Chisomo. She also has one dog, an Australian Shepherd named Dottie.

Laura joined the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) and the AAFP (American Association of Feline Practitioners) in 2008.
Prior to joining our team, Laura was a hard-working college student.
Laura has 3 cats. Sasha is 2 years and 2 months, Duncan is 1 year and 4 months, and Natasha is 1 year and 3 months old.
When Laura is away from the clinic, she enjoys reading, playing video games and making jewelry. She also likes to scuba dive and to cheer on her favorite college football teams in the fall.

She also earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from the University of North Texas in 2004. She is currently working on a Master of Public Health degree at the Univeristy of Minnesota, with hopes of finishing in 2011.

Christy loves general practice, especially being able to build relationships with clients and families, and being able to help them through all stages of their cats lives. She also enjoys the opportunity to learn something new everyday and loves being a part of the great FMC team, where everyone is caring and loves the cats. Christy belongs to the AVMA, AAHA, AAFP and WSVMA.

Christy has 3 cats: Cole, Paige and Kobe. She also has a Ball Python named Lucifer and a yellow-naped Amazon parrot, Son of Birdhead. Christy shares her home with her husband Harris, her mom Laurie, and her sister Jennifer. When she's not working, Christy enjoys spending time with her husband and their pets, hiking, watching NFL and NASCAR, and reading historical mysteries.
