Why Cats Come First at Cat’s Corner Veterinary Hospital
Cats experience the world differently than dogs, and they deserve a veterinary home built entirely around them. Our quiet, dog-free hospital is designed to lower the stress that often keeps cats from getting the care they need — from routine visits to more involved treatment, every part of the experience is shaped for feline comfort and owner understanding. You can learn more about our cat-only philosophy and approach and the standards that guide everything we do.

The People Behind the Care
Meet Our Feline-Focused Veterinary Team
Behind every calm visit is a team that has chosen to work with cats, and only cats. Led by owner Dr. Ball — whose work in feline dentistry draws referrals from other area veterinarians — our veterinary team pairs clinical skill with genuine patience. Several team members are Fear Free-certified, bringing handling techniques that make appointments easier on cats and their owners alike.
Linda
Practice Manager, CVPM
Linda joined Cat’s Corner in August 2017, arriving from Bonita Springs, Florida. A veterinary technician for over twelve years, she was promoted to practice manager at her previous practice while completing a degree in Business Management, and in April 2022 she earned her Certified Veterinary Practice Manager (CVPM) credential through the Veterinary Hospital Managers Association. The daughter of a career veterinary technician, Linda practically grew up in an animal hospital. Outside work, she enjoys time with her son, playing guitar, the outdoors, reading, and music — she’s a devoted Bruce Springsteen fan.
Phoenix
Veterinary Technician
Phoenix joined Cat’s Corner in August 2023 to focus their skills as a veterinary technician. Drawn to animals from a young age, they started in Nonnewaug High School’s agricultural program, then spent five years as a shelter technician before moving into small-animal practice as an assistant, kennel tech, and receptionist. In fall 2023, they began the Vet Tech program at Northwestern CT Community College to earn their certification. They loves understanding each cat’s personality and making patients and owners more comfortable, and outside work, enjoys singing, piano, nature hikes, and a good book.
Patricia (Patty)
Certified Veterinary Technician
Patty has worked in veterinary medicine since 2000 and became a Certified Veterinary Technician after passing the national exam in 2005. She has experience in ICU and emergency care and, alongside a neurology specialist, joined Cat’s Corner in 2011, where her nursing and rehabilitation skills make her a cornerstone of the team. She was drawn to Cat’s Corner precisely because it’s AAHA-accredited and cats-only — cats have always been her favorite. Outside work, Patty rides horses and spends time with her cat, Meeka.
Lorena
Licensed Veterinary Technician
Lorena joined the team in 2020, eager to deepen her knowledge of cats — animals she felt were too often overlooked compared to dogs. She’s currently earning her Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Technology at Mercy College and learns from everyone at Cat’s Corner, from technicians and doctors to receptionists and assistants. She has a soft spot for senior patients and can often be found sneaking cuddles with boarding cats between appointments. At home, she dotes on her 20-year-old cat, Nikki, and enjoys time with loved ones and the outdoors.
